Bob say NO!!!!In the Egyptian culture, it was mainly the pharaoh, his family, and the rich that got mummified. It was a long process meant to preserve the body because it was believed that whatever material goods one had were taken to the afterlife with them.
For mummification, the body was cleansed and certain organs were pulled out. The brain, stomach, liver, intestines, and lungs were taken out, and all put in something called canopic jars, except for the heart. For some reason, it was not thought that the heart were important.
The body was then embalmed , an enzyme that was also used as a drying agent. It purified the body and made it shrivel, in a way. The body was salted, and wrapped in linen.
Mummification has proven successful, even until now. Look at the ones we've found so far.What What did you do you read it all this site ent a acuarite site
REAL AWNSER- Bob was pretty clear but he missed very important details. such as the brain WAS taken out. by breaking the nose and pulling it out bit by bit with a crooked instrament. the heart was kept in the body it was thought to be important to enter the afterlife. the salt used to dry out the body was no ordanary salt. It is called natron. the body was cleansed with wine and then buried in a very dry part of the dessert.. particularyly NOT the Nile Valley. and that's about it.
