What was the process?

The mummification process in Ancient Egypt involved intricate rituals to prepare the body for the afterlife. Initially, the body was washed with wine and oil, then cut open to remove organs, which were rinsed with natron. The brain was extracted and the body was dried before being wrapped in linen. Organs were placed in canopic jars, safeguarded by spells from the Book of the Dead. Mummification was primarily reserved for the wealthy, including pharaohs and kings, reflecting their beliefs in the gods and an eternal afterlife.
