Mummies are preserved by a process called mummification.
- The body is washed.
- Organs such as the brain, intestines, liver, lungs, stomach are removed. The heart is kept intact.
- The body is packed in salt to remove moisture.
- The body is cleaned and oiled.
- The body is packed with sawdust and rags and the open cuts sealed with wax.
- The body is bandaged with 20 layers of linen.
- A death mask is placed over the bandages.
- The bandaged body is shrouded.
- The body is then placed in a decorated mummy case.
