They mummified Tutankhamun in the same way as any other pharaoh, the only difference was that Tutankhamun's mummification and burial seemed rushed, probably as he hadn't finished his tomb and had to take the one designed for his wife's grandfather, who was to become the next king. This meant they had to change things quickly before the body decomposed and had to hurry it.

First the body is taken to a tent called an ibu. Then the body is washed by the embalmers with palm wine. The body is then washed with water from the nile. A cut is made on the left side of the body and most of the internal organs are pulled out from there for these are the first to decompose. The liver, lungs and intestines are washed out and dried out but the heart is not taken out for it is the center of intelligence and feeling and the man will need this in the afterlife.Natron is stuffed into body to dry it out then they wrap the body

Tutankhamun was mummified for the same reason that other people were mummified; to preserve their bodies. Ancient Egyptian's believed that for a person to proceed successfully into the Afterlife, they needed to be as life-like as possible, mummification ensured this.

Like any other god. The brain was taken out and stuffed, so was all body parts.
