Egyptian mummies were typically embalmed by specialized priests known as embalmers or mummifiers. These individuals had extensive knowledge of the human body and the embalming process, which involved removing internal organs, desiccating the body with natron, and applying oils and resins to preserve it. The process was often a sacred ritual, reflecting the Egyptians' beliefs about the afterlife and the importance of preserving the body for eternity.
