The cavities were washed and then packed with natron, and the body buried in a pile of natron.
The intestines, lungs, liver and the stomach were preserved separately and stored in jars protected by the four sons of Horus: Duamutef (stomach), Qebhsenuef (intestines), Hapy (lungs), and Imsety (liver).
After coming out of the natron the bodies were coated inside and out with resin to preserve them, then they were wrapped with linen bandages.
