In ancient Egypt, the process of preserving a dead body, known as mummification, involved removing internal organs, which were often placed in canopic jars. The body was then desiccated using natron, a naturally occurring salt, to prevent decay. Finally, it was wrapped in linen bandages and treated with resins and oils to enhance preservation and protect against the elements in the afterlife. This elaborate process reflected their beliefs in the afterlife and the importance of preserving the body for it.
