Ancient Egyptians believed that not only the spirit, but additionally the physical body, was important for a palmy journey through the lifetime. Consequently, great care was taken to preserve the body, and to surround it with everything the deceased would need within the Underworld.

First of all, the internal organs would carefully be removed, with the exception of the heart. This was because the Ancient Egyptians believed the center contained each spirit and senses, and would be needed on Judgement Day within the Underworld

Once removed, the other internal organs - the lungs, liver, stomach, and intestine - would be clean, then placed into special preserving containers referred to as canopic jars

These jars were often ornately adorned, with unusual lids in the form of associate animal head, the latter representing the god responsible for protective that specific organ. These jars would be carefully placed in the grave, along with the mother

The brain was also removed from the deceased and so, the important method of drying the body would begin. Without this, the body would decompose. Preserving salts referred to as natron, found in the Nile vale, were used as the drier. Once the drying procedure was completed, the salts were removed, and the dried body wrapped in yards and yards of linen and resin

Very often, the mummified body was dressed in clothing, jewelry, and masks, and it would be surrounded by something and everything deemed necessary for its lifetime.
