Best Answer

Some of the amulets that were placed in the wrappings during mummification were:

The Isis knot - a protective amulet thought to protect the body of the dead.

A headrest amulet - in life they used these to support the head at night, like we use pillows, so this was supposed to support the head of the dead in the afterlife.

A 'plummet' amulet - to keep the dead balanced in the afterlife.

A amulet depicting two fingers - which might have represented the embalmers.

A Heart scarab - this amulet where placed above the heart to prevent it from getting lost or separated from the body in the underworld

A scroll from the 'book of the dead' where placed between the hands of the dead - this scroll contained spells needed in order to survive the journey to the underworld.
