    THE PROCESS OF A
    MUMMY
    THE PROCESS OF A MUMMY
    Embalming the body

    First, his body is taken to the


    tent known as 'ibu' or the
    'place of purification'. There
    the embalmers wash his body
    with good-smelling palm wine
    and rinse it with water from
    the Nile.
    One of the embalmer's men makes a
    cut in the left side of the body and
    removes many of the internal organs.
    It is important to remove these
    because they are the first part of the
    body to decompose.
    The liver, lungs, stomach and
    intestines are washed and packed in
    natron which will dry them out. The
    heart is not taken out of the body
    because it is the centre of intelligence
    and feeling and the man will need it in
    the afterlife.
    A long hook is used to smash the brain
    and pull it out through the nose.
    The body is now covered and
    stuffed with natron which will
    dry it out. All of the fluids, and
    rags from the embalming
    process will be saved and
    buried along with the body.
    After forty days the body
    is washed again with
    water from the Nile. Then
    it is covered with oils to
    help the skin stay elastic.
    The dehydrated internal organs
    are wrapped in linen and
    returned to the body. The body
    is stuffed with dry materials
    such as sawdust, leaves and
    linen so that it looks lifelike.
    Finally the body is covered
    again with good-smelling oils. It
    is now ready to be wrapped in
    linen.
    Mummy making process is still carried out by the Egyptian population
