What was the final step of the Mummification process of Herakleides

1 answer

The final step of the mummification process in ancient Egypt typically involved the wrapping of the body in linen strips and the placement of amulets or other grave goods to protect the deceased in the afterlife. Specific details about the mummification of an individual like Herakleides may not be extensively documented, as he is not as famous as other historical figures. However, generally, after the embalming process and the removal of internal organs, the body would be dried using natron (a natural salt) and then carefully wrapped. In many cases, the wrapped body would be placed in a sarcophagus or tomb, often accompanied by offerings for the journey to the afterlife.
