There were four steps to complete the mummification process.
Step 1: They removed bits of brain through the nostrils with a hook and
spoons. They made a few incisions in the body to take out the stomach, theliver, the intestines, and the lungs.
Step 2: The entire body was stuffed with spices and balls of linen andthen covered with natron, which is a kind of salt. After a few weeks the
salt dissolved .
Step 3: After 30 to 40 days , they would remove the salt . The body wasrubbed with perfume, milk, and wine. Then the body was decorated with
jewellery and magic amulets. They also wrapped it in 20 layers of cloth .
