What are steps of mummification?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Mummification shortened into five steps would be the following. Remove and dry, and jar the internal organs, rinse the body in wine, dry it with salt, wrap the body and place in the sarcophagus.

Answer 3

The first step is take the organs out. The second step is put salt on the body, so the body can dry quickly, and it takes about 42 days for it to dry out. The third step is the announcement of death. The fourth step is wrapping the body. The fifth step is getting the tomb out. The sixth step is to paint the face of the body of the mummy. The seventh step is putting the body in the tomb.
