They are wrapped in linen; wrapped with over 40 yards of them.

They dry out the body with a natural salt called natron, then they freaking take the guts out (they leave the heart in) and yank out the brain through the nostrils with a long hook, bit by bit. Then the embalmers flushed out the skull and as they waited for the water to drain, they sewed the holes back together. Next, the embalmers rubbed the body with spices and oils to restore the body's softness. Finally, they start wrapping.

The wrapping can take as long as 40 days to finish wrapping.
