Mummification was the process of preserving the "Khet" (physical body) for the afterlife. It consisted of removing vairous internal organs and then dehydrating while embalming the body, before wrapping it in linen and placing it in the burial tomb. During Old Kingdom Egypt, afterlife was a royal privilege only, in the New Kingdom Egypt the afterlife to those who could afford it. The preperations for mummification were designed to guarantee a resting place for their spirit for all time and a place for their mortuary cult to be maintained by the relatives they left behind.
