The ancient Egyptians practiced a process called mummification in which they removed the brain through the nose to preserve the body for the afterlife. They believed that only the heart was necessary for the journey to the afterlife, not the brain. The removal of the brain allowed for better preservation of the body.

Can your brain come out from your nose?
This is a myth. The nose is mainly malleable cartilage. The cartilage may feel sharp on the end that you see. But the bony part of your skull to which it attaches is rounded and blunt on the portion that faces your brain So, the nose is no more vulnerable to a blow to your head than any other part of your skull. It may be even less vulnerable because the nose lies below the brain and not adjacent to it.
