Royal Treatment
"First, they remove the brain through the nostrils with a curved iron implement, getting some of it out like this and the rest by pouring in solvents. Then they cut open the side of the corpse with a sharp Ethiopian stone, remove the intestines, and wash out the belly, cleaning it with palm wine and again with pounded aromatics. They fill up the body with pure crushed myrrh, cassia and other herbs (except frankincense) and sow it up again. After this, they pickle the body in natrum, [salt] hiding it away for seventy days, the longest time possible. After the seventy days, they wash the body and wrap it up completely in cut bandages of linen muslin, smearing it with gum which the Egyptians use instead of glue. The relatives then get the body back and make a man-sized wooden image, into which they insert the mummy and then store it away in a burial chamber, standing it upright against the wall."
Deluxe Treatment
"That is the most expensive way. The method for those wanting the middle way, to escape great expense, is as follows. They pack syringes with cedar-oil and fill the stomach of the corpse with the oil, not cutting it open and taking out the intestines, but inserting the oil through the anus and stopping it flowing out. Then they soak the body in spices for the prescribed number of days, on the last of which they remove from the belly the cedar-oil which they put in before. This has such strength that it brings out with it all the dissolved stomach and intestines. The natrum dissolves the flesh and only the skin and bones are left. When this is over, they return the body, their job completed."
Bargain Treatment
"The third method of embalming is the one used by the poorer classes. They just wash out the inside with a solvent, then pickle it for seventy days and return it to the relatives."

How do you make a mummy?-
Mummification was one of the Egyptians beliefs-Beacause they believed that there was an underworld, like Earth. They also thought that it was an afterlife.
Ingredients to make a Mummy:
First of all, the brain was removed through the nostrils using a long hook shaped like a fork but with one pointy end instead of three.
The stomach was protected by Duamutef, the liver was protected by imesty and the lungs were protected by Hapy. The organs remaining would be put into a canopic jar. Each jar sealed tightly!
The mummy then ha linen put on, after 40-50 days they would remove the linen and replace it with sawdust or sand. Amulets were protected inside the wrapping to protect the mummy from the evil spirits.
The, the heart was weighed against the feather from Maat (The Goddess of Truth.) If the heart was heavier than the feather, the King's spirit would be sent to dwell forever in the heavenly "Field Of Reeds". The corocidle/lion/hippopotamus creature would "eat" the heart.
After all that trouble, creating the mummy and after the funeral and "Open Of The Mouth Ceremony" A golden, blue or red mask was placed on the mummies head. The King's face was put craved on it and beautiful designs were displayed on the Mummy.
The Incas were in the Americas, not in ancient Egypt. So no, the Incas never made mummies in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians did.
