First they would remove the organs. These would go into canopic jars.

They would take the brain out through the nose.

They packed the body with natron (a salt mixture) that would remove all the moisture.

After several weeks, they would apply oil, wrap the body in bandages and place the body in a sarcophagus. They would put a decorated mask on the body.

The body would be put in a chamber with all the things needed for the afterlife…food, riches, etc.
