1.) The two stages of mummification were embalming the body, and then wrapping and burrying the body. 2.) The organs removed in the embalming stage were the liver, lungs, stomach, intestines, and the brain. The heart wasn't removed because th Egyptians believed it was the center of intellegence, and they believed he would need it in the afterlife. 3.) Natron is a natural salt used to dry out dead bodies and internal organs. 4.) The embalming stage takes approximately 40 days. 5.) Canopic jars are used for holding the organs, or if the organs were returned to the body, they guarded the organs. 6.) Linen is used to wrap the mummy. 7.) Amulets are small trinkets or charms used for protecting the owner from evil spells or actions. 8.) A papyrus scroll with spells from the Book of the Dead is placed between the mummy's hands. 9.) Osris' picture is painted on the final layer of the wrapping. 10.) The body is placed into a large stone sarcophagus before it is finially left in the tomb.
