The gods wrap them in Linen bandages. If you would like to know what they do before the wrapping look down They rub oils onto the mummy's body and they also spray nice smelling oils to make them smell nice.

Here are the steps:

1. 'Purified' the mummy.

2. Scoop out all the internal organs (except the heart).

3. Dry the body for about 40 days.

4. Dyhydrate the internal organs and put it back inside.

first, the body was collected. then, a hook was inserted up the nose, and jabbed at the brain to break it out. After the brain was hooked out, a priest made an incision in the body, and reached in to take out the intestines and other organs. after 70 days packed in natron (a kind of dehydrating salt), the body was rubbed with oils and other stuff to make it soft. then it was wrapped with linen.

The pharaohs that were turned into mummies were wrapped in bandages. The bandages were made with cotton and linen.
