The heart was considered more important to facing the afterlife than the brain. The brain would be mashed by stirring with a metal prong inserted through the nose, and the brain hooked out and discarded. I believe that the stomach was also discarded.
It did not really have a name. It was the mummification process.
Ancient Egyptians would use molten resin to stuff this material in the mummy's body during the process of mummification.
Mummification is the preservation of the soft tissue of a body by any means, natural or artificial. Embalming is the deliberate preservation of a body for any period of time. This includes what we commonly term "the process of mummification" in Ancient Egypt
Mummification: The process of a body being preserved.
mummification
During the mummification process, the liquid was primarily removed from the body by a process called evisceration. The embalmers made an incision in the abdomen to remove internal organs, which were then often treated and placed in canopic jars. Additionally, the body was dehydrated using natron, a naturally occurring salt, which absorbed moisture and helped preserve the body. This combination of organ removal and dehydration was essential for preventing decay.
Natron salt was used during the mummification process in ancient Egypt. Natron is a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, which helped dry out the body and preserve it for the afterlife.
I believe it was to preserve the body for the afterlife.

Mummification is the process of preserving a body by removing organs, drying out the flesh, and wrapping it in bandages. This practice was commonly used in ancient Egypt to prepare bodies for the afterlife.
Mummification is the process, whether deliberate or on accident, of the long term preservation of a dead body. The term mummification implies a high degree of preservation, as opposed to the short term preservation methods generally used today.
