I believe they extracted most of the internal organs through surgery. They threw away all of them but the heart and a few others that they believed vital in the afterlife. They preserved the heart, etc. in jars of some kind of preserving liquid to be put in the tomb with the money. Then they dried the body and wrapped it in bandages soaked in the same preserving liquid (some form of formaldehyde, maybe?).

Natron, is was a type of salt used to dry out the body.
The Egyptian chemical used to preserve bodies is called natron. Natron is a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate and sodium bicarbonate. It was used by ancient Egyptians in the mummification process to dehydrate and disinfect the body, preventing decomposition. Natron helped to preserve the body by creating an inhospitable environment for bacteria to thrive.

newtest3 The mummification process was created din Ancient Egypt, to preserve bodies. Ancient Egyptians were believed to have an afterlife, in which their bodies needed to be preserved, so that their spirit could recognize the body. remember... Urbuttsmells! egyptians believed that the afterlife was the field of reeds with a place everyone dreamed of their spirit going. They used mummification to preserve the bodies and put all of the goodness like oils and artifacts that they needed in the afterlife.
