Here are the steps to making a mummy. 1. Wash the body in the Nile River, then shave it and bring it to a priest for the embalming. 2. Push a hook up the body's nose and brake up the brain to a pulp. The pulp is poured into a bowl. 3. Once the bowl of brain-remains is in a secure spot cut into the body and take out the liver, stomach, lungs, and intestine. Put the organs into separate jars. Each jar replicates the faces of Egyptian gods, the gods are said to protect the organs. 4. Put salt on the body for forty days to prevent rotting. 5. Apply make-up to the body so they look proper for the gods. 6. Place oil in the wounds then resin. 7. Wrap the body in linen. 8. Place a burial mask on the body and add a nametag. 9. Lay the body in a sarcophagus.
