How Mummies Were Made in Ancient Egypt
The article outlines three mummification methods used by ancient Egyptians. The most costly involved brain removal, preserved intestines in Canopic jars, aromatic stuffing, and 70 days of drying, costing about $2,200. A simpler method skipped brain extraction, used natron to dry the body, and cost around $450. The cheapest, for the poor, washed and salted bodies for 70 days, with even cheaper salt and bitumen processing if funds ran out. The term mummy derives from mumia, and bandages, eye replacements, and linen wrappings are described.
