After the internal organs were removed during the mummification process, the body was typically treated with natron, a natural salt, to desiccate and preserve it. The brain was often discarded, while the heart was usually left in place or replaced in the body, as it was considered the center of intelligence and emotion. The body was then wrapped in linen and often placed in a coffin or sarcophagus for burial, allowing it to remain intact for thousands of years. This meticulous process aimed to prepare the deceased for the afterlife.
