First, they would lay the dead king on a table. Then, they would take out all the essential organs and put them in jars with god heads on the top of them. Then using a small metal chink, they would shove up the chink in their nose and slowly pull out the brain piece by piece. Then they would rub the body in essential oils, then fill up the coffin with salt and leave it like for many months until all the moisture had dried out of the body.Then the would pull it out of the salt. Then slowly, VERY slowly, they would rap up the body in long strips of cloth, and make many layers. Then the body would be encased in a small wooden cofifn, then placed in a huge golden coffin, like King Tut's. Then they would a bunch of gold, food, and sometimes even people in the chamber for the king to enjoy in afterlife. Then they would seal the chamber airtight, leave, and never come back.

Note: The egyptians never took out the heart from the body because they believed that it was the central control of the body, instead of the brain.
