The Egyptians embalmed the dead body so that they could prevent it from decay. The brain and the organs were removed (through the nostrils) and put in 4 canopic jars.Interestingly, the brain was not stored because they considered it as useless, and the heart was not removed that was the only one which remained in the body. The body was then dried using a kind aof salt called Natron. Then they wrapped the body in layers of linen and put amulets between the layers. Then put a funeral mask over the face and put hte body in wooden coffins (sometimes several ones), and all this into a sarcophagus (a stone - ofen marble - coffin). Embalming tok about 70 days, and there were a lot of different rituals performed by the priests in this process.
