Mummification was a common practice for the wealthy citizens in ancient Egypt. Mummification involved two steps; embalming and wrapping. The embalmers would first wash the body with palm wine and rinse it with water from the Nile. Then the internal organs would be removed through a cut on the left side of the body. The brain was then removed as well with a long hook. The body was then covered and stuffed with natron to dry it. After forty days the body was washed again and rubbed with oils. The dried organs were then wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body was also stuffed with sawdust and other materials. The last step was to wrap the entire body in fine strips of linen.
