Mummies
A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Their organs (apart from the heart) are removed and placed in canopic jars. The bodies then go through a 70-day process before being wrapped in linen bandages.

If you mean HOW did they embalm, they cut the organs out of the body, but for the brains they stuck a red-hot poker up the nostrils of the dead, and pulled the brains out through the nostrils. The organs were taken and put in canopic jars, so the dead would have access to them in the afterlife.
