Mummies+Expository+Prompt

The steps of the mumification process are; Suport: The dead person's lungs, liver, stomache, and intestines were easy to get out. They'd just make a good sized slash on the left side of their stomach, reach in and pull! Suport: The important organs were each put in their own little pots, called CANOPIC JARS. Each jar came with a perky little statue of god on top to protect the part on the inside. Suport: Then the insides were rinsed with wine! Suport: The brain was a little trickier. If you cracked the skull open it made kind of a mess, so they used a long wire with a little spoon to get the gray stuff out. up the nose it went, higher and higher, until it reached the brain. Then, scoop by scoop, it was spooned out through the nose. Suport: The next step took about 70 days to complete! The mummy makers would cover the body with natron and let it sit for almost two months! they stuffed the body. Suport: After being given its salt bath, the body was painted with a varnish-like substance from trees and plants called resin. Then, a mixture of oil, wax, and more natron was rubbed onto the skin. The inside of the body was filled with sand, picies of cloth, even sawdust, and plumped up like a pilow, to give it a nice fluffy shape. Suport: Everyfinger and toe was wrapped sepratley, and in between each layer a coting of glue was aplied. Then it was into a coffin...and another...and another...and another.
