The preservation procedure took seventy days. Uncommon clerics filled in as embalmers, treating and wrapping the body. Past knowing the right ceremonies and petitions to be performed at different stages, the ministers additionally required a point by point learning of human life systems. The initial phase in the process was the evacuation of every single interior part that may rot quickly. The mind was expelled via cautiously embeddings extraordinary snared instruments through the nostrils so as to haul out bits of cerebrum tissue. It was a fragile task, one which could undoubtedly deform the face. The embalmers at that point expelled the organs of the stomach area and chest through a cut typically made on the left half of the belly. They left just the heart set up, trusting it to be the focal point of an individual's being and knowledge. Alternate organs were protected independently, with the stomach, liver, lungs, and digestion tracts put in extraordinary boxes or containers today called canopic containers. These were covered with the mummy. In later mummies, the organs were dealt with, wrapped, and supplanted inside the body.

So as to shield the dead from disaster, special necklaces were put among the wrappings and supplications and otherworldly words composed on a portion of the cloth strips. Regularly the ministers put a veil of the individual's face between the layers of head wraps. At a few phases the structure was covered with warm pitch and the wrapping continued indeed. Finally the ministers enclosed the last material or cover by spot and verified it with cloth strips. The mummy was finished.

The ministers setting up the mummy were by all account not the only ones caught up with amid this time. In spite of the fact that the tomb readiness for the most part had started some time before the individual's genuine demise, presently there was a due date, and specialists, laborers, and craftsmen worked rapidly. There was a lot to be put in the tomb that an individual would require in the Afterlife. Furniture and statuettes were prepared; divider works of art of religious or every day scenes were arranged; and arrangements of nourishment or supplications wrapped up. Through an otherworldly procedure, these models, pictures, and records would turn into the genuine article when required in the Afterlife. Everything was presently prepared for the memorial service.
