Trey mummification

WALT:write an information report.
Mummification Process

The Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. Egyptians removed the brain, intestines, stomach, and the liver and were put in Canopic jars but they did not removed the heart. The Egyptians salted and dried the body. They stuffed some cloth inside the body so that it kept in shape. Next it was oiled and was wrapped in lots of cloth. The body was wrapped tightly to stop the body from rotting away. The process was supervised by a priest. The priest used special instruments to send the soul from the body to the next world. Some of dead bodies were put in ordinary boxes or it was decorated. But if it was someone special like a Pharaoh, the body was transferred into a stone case.
