The Muminfication Process

Many years ago after the person has died they will emblming the body....and there are 4 people than are in charge of the process....: "Hery Seshta" (overseer of the mysteries) next is the "hetemnetjer" (seal bearer of the god) next "hery heb" (lector priests) next is the "wetyw" (the bandagers)....

HAPY
The baboon headed god who protected the lungs. His cardinal point was North.

IMSETY
The human headed god who protected the liver. His cardinal point was South.
DUAMUTEF
The jackal headed god who protected the stomach. His cardinal point was East.
QEBEHSENUEF
The falcon headed god who protected the intestines. His cardinal point was West.

shortly after death the body is taken to the ibw (the place of purification) then before being burried it is taken to another tent which is called "per nefer".....and then it is burried in its coffin....
