The process of mummification is very grusem.First they make an slit in the left side of the body and take out all the organs and coatmthem with natron,a powdery mixture of salt and sodium carbonate, to dry out the organs. the they break the nose and stick a hook up the nose and take the brain out from the head. then they take out the heart and weigh it to see if they were good people. They leave the body for fourty days, then they come back and wrap the body in very fine linen.
