    To make a mummy you have to first sail the body across the Nile river on the west side. In order for them to make it they have to bring it to the purifacation place where they put the body. Next you have to have the body washed once you get there.

    Next cut the orgins and put it in a certain spot where you could find them. Also treat them with natron salt. Then clean the body with wine and spices so that the body won't smell. After you are finished with cleaning the body pack the body with dry grass to the body to dry out. Place the body bon a sloping table andcover the body eith natron salt and let the body dry for40 days. Next seal the cut withresin then cover the bodynwith amulet protector. Now wrap the body with up to 375 meters of linen fab Next place the mummies mask over it's face. Finally the mummy is place in a specialcoffen called a sarcophagus and taking it's final resting place in the pyramid.

    #2The tomb that the mummy was buried in looked it wasn't really clean. The tomb was dusty and old. All the things like the things they worshiped mean something like the tomb. The oictures that the people had up stood for eternity and purpose.
