Mummification is a process of preserving a body, either intentionally or naturally, through drying and embalming. It involves removing soft tissues, organs, and the brain, then drying out the body and reassembling it. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the process:

1. Preparation and Removal:

Announcement of Death: The death is formally announced, and the body is prepared. 

Embalming: The body is washed and cleaned, often with sacred water from the Nile. 

Removal of Brain: The brain is partially removed using a hook inserted through the nose. 

Removal of Internal Organs: Internal organs (except the heart, which was believed to be important for the afterlife) are removed and placed in canopic jars. 

2. Drying and Reassembly:

Drying: The body is dried using natron, a salt-like substance, which absorbs moisture. 

Stuffing: The body cavity is stuffed with materials like reeds, linen, or sand to maintain its shape. 

Reassembly: The body is reassembled, sometimes with sticks inserted into the limbs. 

3. Wrapping and Final Preparations:

Resinous Coating: The skin and bandages are covered with resin for preservation and as an adhesive. 

Wrapping: The body is wrapped in multiple layers of linen, sometimes with amulets placed within the wrappings. 

Mask: A clay mask of the deceased's face is often placed over the head. 

Final Procession: The wrapped mummy is placed in a coffin and taken to the tomb for burial. 

4. Additional Information:

The entire process could take about 70 days. 

The mummification process was not always as elaborate, with simpler methods used for the poor. 

Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife and that mummification was essential for the soul's journey.
