Egyptian Mummification | Part 6 | Bandaging
Part 6 | A large embalming workshop, Dynasty 21, about 1085 BC in Egypt.
The wound made by the dissector was covered with a cartouche that provided protection from the four sons of Horus. The body was then ritually cleaned and purified before the wrapping began.
At this stage, the whole body would be coated in resin, and cosmetics were sometimes added in order to give the body its final life-like appearance. While the body was being bandaged, amulets would be inserted between the wrappings in the appropriate places as described in the Book of the Dead. Bandaging the body would take around fifteen days.

5. Cleaned & Purified
6. Bandaging
7. Scavengers
