1. The two stages of mummification are the embaling and wrapping. 2. During the embaling stage, the organs that are removed are the liver, the lungs, stomach, and the intestines. The heart is not removed because it is the centre of intelligence and feeling and the person will need it in the afterlife. 3. Natron is a natural salt that is used for drying out dead bodies and internal organs. 4. The embalming process takes approximately 40 days. 5. Canopic jars are used for storing the internal organs of a dead body. 6. The material that is used for wrapping the mummy is linen. 7. Amulets are small trinkets or charms that were meant to protect the owner from evil spirts and or evil actions. They were placed between layers of the linen to protect the body in its journey through the underworld. 8. A papyrus scroll with spells from the Bood of the Dead is placed between the wrapped hands. 9. A picture of the god Osiris is painted on the final layer of wrapping. 10. The body is placed into a coffin and then that coffin is placed into the final tomb.﻿ Sarcophagus (-5) Good job, Hannah!
