Mummification - part 1

The video tutorial explains the ancient Egyptian process of mummification, which is performed to preserve the body for the afterlife. It begins with the removal of internal organs, except the heart, which is needed in the afterlife. The body is then dried using natron salt, a process that takes up to 70 days. After drying, liquid resin is applied to preserve the body, and a mixture of cedar oil, wax, natron, and gum is used to prevent skin cracking. Finally, the body is stuffed with sawdust and wrapped in hundreds of meters of linen bandages.
