The the sand in Egypt would suck out the moisture in the deseased. This would cause the mummy to rot away. The whole idea of embalming was to protect the deseased form the sand and from drying out.
I had to embalm someone in Egypt
In ancient Egypt a myth goes that Anubis helped to preserve (embalm) the body of Osiris and protected it, so that role transferred over to all dead of the Egyptian people.
Embalm a dead animal
so that in the afterlife, the spirits would be recognizable
they preserve the dead person from the time of death until they can be buried or cremated
It means to preserve a dead body! Next time go look it up!
Bitumen was used to embalm bodies of dead Egyptians that were being mummified. They also used palm wine, natron and resins in the process.

so it would guide the dead through the jurney of meeting the gods
because it tells if they have a good heart or an evil heart
The same as it would otherwise except there are people and cadavers present.
Your question isn't really clear. Ancient Egyptians embalmed when somebody died. If you mean WHY did they embalm, they did it because they wanted to prepare the dead for the afterlife. If you mean HOW did they embalm, they cut the organs out of the body, but for the brains they stuck a red-hot poker up the nostrils of the dead, and pulled the brains out through the nostrils. The organs were taken and put in canopic jars, so the dead would have access to them in the afterlife. Hope I helped!
