Mummification How did the Ancient Egyptians prepare people for the Afterlife?

An important Priest has died and we need to prepare his body for burial. There are 2 main steps in the mummification process. 1.Embalming 2.Wrapping

Embalming First, his body is washed with scented oils and rinsed with water from the River Nile.

Embalming Next, a cut is made in the left side of the body and the internal organs are removed. They remove the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines. They leave the heart in the body because it is needed in the Afterlife. The brain is removed by inserting a hook into the nose. The internal organs are placed into Canopic Jars.

Embalming They body is then filled and covered in a special salt which will dry the body and preserve it.

Embalming After 40 days the body is again washed with water from the River Nile and covered in oil.

Wrapping First the head and neck are wrapped with strips of fine linen. Then the fingers and the toes are individually wrapped.

Wrapping The arms and legs are wrapped separately. Between the layers of wrapping, the embalmers place amulets to protect the body in its journey through the underworld. This is the 'Isis knot' amulet which will protect the body. This is the 'Plummet' amulet which will keep the person balanced in the next life.

Wrapping A priest reads spells out loud while the mummy is being wrapped. These spells will help ward off evil spirits and help the deceased make the journey to the afterlife.

Wrapping The arms and legs are tied together. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands.

Wrapping More linen strips are wrapped around the body. At every layer, the bandages are painted with liquid resin that helps to glue the bandages together.

Wrapping A cloth is wrapped around the body and a picture of the god Osiris is painted on its surface.

Wrapping Finally, a large cloth is wrapped around the entire mummy. It is attached with strips of linen that run from the top to the bottom of the mummy, and around its middle.A board of painted wood is placed on top of the mummy before the mummy is lowered into its coffin. The first coffin is then put inside a second coffin.

Wrapping Finally, the body and its coffins are placed inside a large stone sarcophagus in the tomb. Furniture, clothing, valuable objects, food and drink are arranged in the tomb for the deceased. Now his body is ready for its journey through the underworld. There his heart will be judged by his good deeds on earth. If his heart is found to be pure he will be sent to live for all eternity in the beautiful 'Field of Reeds'.
