1. The lung, stomach, liver, and intestines are removed and placed in special containers call the "Canopic Jars".

2. Next the body is packed inside and out with a strong drying salt called "natron" so that the body does not rot.

3. The body is then rubbed with spices and oils, and then it is decorated. After that it is wrapped with strips of linen.

4. One or more coffins are usually made, most frequently out of wood. In royal burials the coffin then fits inside a larger stone coffin called a sarcophagus. The coffin containing the mummy is stuffed into several progressively larger coffins.
