Article Abstract:
Mummification is necessary because the 'ka,' or the spirit, that had been forced to separate from the body, returns every now and then for a visit. The process is to simply empty the abdominal cavity, fill it up with natron, then cover it up with the same for 42 days. Further steps are a bit more complicated, but not impossible to accomplish.
