How is the brain removed in mummification?
In the ancient Egyptian mummification process, the brain was removed through a process called "excerebration." A long hook-like tool was inserted through the nostrils to break up the tissues of the brain, which was then extracted in pieces. The brain was discarded as it was believed to hold no significance in the afterlife.

What does a dead body look like after 10 years?
it will look decayed,there will be just bones, and it will have a bad odor. Actually, when a person dies they are taken to either a funeral home for embalming or to a coroner's office for autopsy. After the person arrives they are then emptied of all bodily fluids, organs and their brain is taken out and weighed. If an autopsy has been done all of this is pretty much done when the funeral home gets them. All that is done then is to force embalming fluid into the veins. This is a preservative that allows the body to lay "in state" while the funeral takes place. Actually, when the casket is lowered into the grave, it goes into a vault that is cement and is sealed. This keeps most bugs and animals from entering the casket. Most deceased bodies are pretty much in-tact with hair, nails, skin and even facial hair after 10,20, 30 years. Embalming and the removal of organs and blood help to create a modern mummification. Chances are that your loved one would look thinner and darker than they did at burial but pretty much the same. Fat cells would have melted away and some decay would have taken place but overall the facial area would be in-tact. In cases of diseased bodies, that might not be the case. Cancer, and some influenza, and bacterial infections can eat away at body tissue. If you were to roll that person over and look at their underside, it would be most likely the place of most decay. Gravity forces any decaying to take place where the body is touching any surface.
