The Mummy ceremony was held for the family of the deceased person after the mummification process was complete. During this ceremony, the casket in which the mummy is in is lowered into the tomb.
First of all the person would have to die. Then they were mummified and this process took about seventy days. Burial followed the mummification process.
The ancient Egyptians thought that the brain had no function (as it appeared to be just an inert lump of fat) and that the heart was responsible of thinking. During the mummification process they would get a hook and put it inside the nostril. They would break the bone between the nose and the brain. Then they would wiggle the hook and that made the Brain drain from the nose in a liquid form.
Mummification is important because, the Egyptians believed that if the person had no body, their spirit could not go to the afterlife.

Mummification was likely not invented so much as discovered. Early Egyptian burial simply involved leaving a body out in the Sahara, which provided sufficiently dry conditions for natural preservation, provided it was protected from scavengers. Over time, this process was refined and made more elaborate, not by any one person but by a slow process of cultural and religious development.
Herbs were put into the body after the major organs were removed. The mummification was to preserve the body for the life the person would have in the afterlife.
The abdomen of a mummy is stuffed with herbs and other materials that would prevent it from decaying. This also helps preserve the body of a mummy. During the mummification process all of the internal organ including the heart, liver, intestine and other organs of a person to be mummified are removed.
It was an attempt to keep the body of the dead person available to them forever, as they would need it in the afterlife. Without their own body in the afterlife they could not "function" in the afterlife.
A dead person's organs were empty and filled with rags in ancient Egypt. During mummification in ancient Egypt, the dead person's organs were removed and later filled with rags instead.
yes,otherwise it would be concealment of fact.
NO. Ancient Egyptians used mummification and this had not been the practice in Egypt for centuries before Muslims invaded Egypt in 639 C.E. Mummification uses salt to remove water from the body, the body is wrapped tightly in bandages and resin. Muslims wash the body of a deceased person, wrap it in loose cloth, and bury it in a shallow grave. It is a completely different process.
