Steps To Making Your Own Homade Mummy!

See this is my mummy. Ha ha just kinding I wish I could have seen the look on your face when you read that!
Ok, you have to remember that this process was done by professionals so it might not turn out as great.
      Things You'll Need:
1)a body (I know ew!)
2)oils,salt, perfumes
3)canopic jars
4)linen
5)embalder (leader of mummification process)




First you body will need to have its organs taken out. If there are any boys around let them do this. Then clean, cover in salt and place outside to dry. After dry, wrap in linen and place in canopic jars. DO NOT REMOVE HEART!!!!! This will be needed in the weighing of the heart ceremony after the mummification process. The brain however, is not needed and can be pulled out through the nose.


Do the same thing to the body and let it sit outside for 12 days to dry, once dried wrap in tight and thick layers of linen. Then place in sarcophagus, A.K.A a really fancy coffin.
After this you, if rich, were buried in a pyramid or the valley of kings. If somewhat rich then you were buried in a deep grave with other people.  If poor you didn't get buried very well or very far down.


And that's how to make your own mummy!!!!!
