1) Mummification Process of Ancient Egypt No ancient Egyptian text describing the process of mummification survives today. The best written sources for such information are the Classical authors Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus, writing in the fifth and first centuries BC. Herodotus' account illustrates three different levels of mummification, distinguished by cost. According to Herodotus, in the ideal, top-quality method:
“As much as possible of the brain is removed via the nostrils with an iron hook, and what cannot be reached with the hook is washed out with drugs; next, the flank is opened with a flint knife and the whole contents of the abdomen removed; the cavity is then thoroughly cleaned and washed out, firstly with palm wine and again with an infusion of ground spices. After that, it is filled with pure myrrh, cassia, and every other aromatic substance, excepting
frankincense, and sewn up again, after which the body is placed in natron, covered entirely over, for seventy days-never longer. When this period is over, the body is washed and then wrapped from head to foot in linen cut into strips and smeared on the underside with gum, which is commonly used by the Egyptians instead of glue. In this condition, the body is given back to the family, who have a wooden case made, shaped like a human figure, into which it is put.”

2) 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 03intestines. 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."
