First, a 10 cm long incision was made on the left side of the abdomen of the corpse with a flint knife, and other internal organs except the heart were taken out. One by one, they were washed with wine and spices containing myrrh and cinnamon, and then put into a ritual burial bottle. The ritual burial bottle is carved with alabaster, the lid of the bottle is carved into a jackal shape to put the stomach, the baboon head bottle puts the lungs, and the falcon head puts the intestines and the head-shaped liver. This kind of bottle is a souvenir of today. Because people thought that the heart was the root of feelings at that time, they stayed in place. The embalmer also washed the abdominal cavity of the corpse with aromatic asphalt to decompose the residual soft tissue. Then he took away the brain. He used a hooked tool to pierce the skull from the nostril of the deceased, hooked out the brain marrow inside, and then poured fragrant tar and spices to flush out the remaining tissue in the skull. Finally, the resin is poured into the skull cavity through the nostril to prevent the skull from being deformed during accidental extrusion.
After thoroughly cleaning the corpse, the embalmer buried all the organs and corpses in the powder pile soaked in alkali (a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, equivalent to the components of today's alkali washing and baking powder) and drained the water. Bodies and organs should be buried in alkaline powder for about a month. After taking out, each part should be washed with perfume and spices. The embalmer must carefully wrap the body from the trunk to each finger from the beginning to avoid damaging or losing tiny parts such as nails.
Then the antiseptic wrapped the dry viscera one by one with linen, put them back into the abdominal cavity, filled them with sawdust, linen, tar or mud, and sewed up the incision.
Because the hair is inevitably damaged, we need to mend some wigs; Put an artificial eye in the eye socket, have a whole body facelift, and bring the dead back to life. This job is the most time-consuming.
In the plastic surgery, the antiseptic carefully cut many small mouths in various parts of the body and filled the linen filler from the skin. Of course, the face and neck of the corpse should be the same as before, and the mouth should be covered with linen to make the cheeks full. Finally, the embalmer will dye the face and body of the deceased with ochre dye (red for male and yellow for female). You can wrap your body after dyeing. The body was tightly wrapped in linen coated with rosin. Archaeologists opened the cloth bag and found that the length added up to more than two kilometers. Amulets and scarabs (or scarabs) are usually placed on mummies and bandages. In particular, a statue of dung beetles should be placed on the chest, engraved with prayers, begging the deceased to receive a fair trial in the underworld.
It takes about 70 days for the embalmer to wrap the body and mummify it.
