They would first clean the body, then they would take out the organs and put them in sacred jars. And they would take the brains out through the nose with a hook. After that, they would take the body to the nile river and wash it out. Next, they will preserve the body with various purfumes and oils. Then they let the body sit. After forty days, they will come back and stuff the body with saw dust and stuff like that. During the stuffing of the body, they put 3 sacred jewls on the body. They also leave the heart in to be weighed by the gods to see if they can move on to the after-life, or "finish their journey". Then the body is put in a sarcoughagus, a highly painted tomb. Fineally, they bulid a pyramid and under the pyramid there is a series of tunnels and passageways before you get to the room holding the body. Often they will fill the room with gold, sacred eygiptian items, precious metals, food, dead, beloved, mummified pets, and wonden models of servants. This was all for the person if they made it on to the after-life. This process was done only for the kings of egypt. Then, later it was open to everyone who could afford it.

What process was used to preserve bodies?
I believe they extracted most of the internal organs through surgery. They threw away all of them but the heart and a few others that they believed vital in the afterlife. They preserved the heart, etc. in jars of some kind of preserving liquid to be put in the tomb with the money. Then they dried the body and wrapped it in bandages soaked in the same preserving liquid (some form of formaldehyde, maybe?). I think.
