Answer 1

why? do you have a body that you want to mummify? just kidding =0) but that is basically what the first thing you need to make one....here are some other things.
A mummy is a corpse whose skin and dried flesh have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or airlessness.


The best-known mummies are those that have been deliberately embalmed with the specific purpose of preservation, particularly those in ancient Egypt. Egyptian culture believed the body was home to a person's Ka which was essential in one's afterlife. In Egypt, the abdomens were opened and many organs were removed. The emptied body was then covered in natron, to speed up the process of dehydration, and to prevent decomposition.They are covered with sheets of white linen then wrapped with canvas.

In China, preserved corpses have been recovered from submerged cypress coffins packed with medicinal herbs.

Mummies formed as a result of naturally occurring environmental conditions, such as extreme cold (Ötzi the Iceman), acid (Tollund Man) or desiccating dryness have been found all over the world. Some of the best-preserved mummies formed under natural conditions date from the Inca period in Peru.
Although mummification existed in other cultures, eternal life was the main focus of all Ancient Egyptians, which meant preserving the body forever. The earliest attempts were recorded in 3000 B.C. The technique used during this period was minimal and not yet mastered. As time progressed, the organs were eventually removed and stored in canopic jars, allowing the body to preserve better. It wasn’t until the Middle Kingdom that embalmers used natural salts to remove moisture from the body. This dried it out and preserved more flesh than bone. Once dried, mummies were anointed with oils and perfumes, which was part of their ritual. The 21st Dynasty brought forth its most advanced skills in embalming and the mummification process reached its peak. After going though the process, the mummies were laid to rest inside a tomb. There the mummy would rest forever, or so it was thought.

Answer 2

Egyptian Mummies:
They eviscerated of internal organs and then they are covered in Natron and left to desiccate for 70 days. After 70 days they are covered in spices and preservatives and wrapped in fine linen with amulets to protect the body.

Some mummies are naturally preserved due to dry or frozen weather conditions.

There are many ways to make mummies

Answer 3

It's a long process of drying with natron and packing the body with resin. Probably not worthwhile these days.
Have a look round some Egyptology sites if you are really interested or for a simple explanation have a look at some of the Horrible History books.

Answer 5

In Egypt, the family of the dead person would keep the body a long time to stop the embalmers from committing necrophilia with it. Please don't do that - it's totally sick. It's bad enough making a mummy anyway.
