Why were organs removed in the mummification process?

the organs were removed during mummification because when someone dies their organs begin to rot so they take their organs out to prevent them from rotting inside the body. The organs were stored in canopic jars, all with different designs on them. The organs removed were the stomach, intestines, lungs, and the liver. The brain was also taken out but was discarded. It was taken out with a hook through the nose, this could cause serious damage to the face. The egyptians wanted the person to look as they did during life because they believed that they went on to another place after they died. Their heart was left inside the body to be " weighed " on a feather to decide if they will be accepted into the underworld. Only the wealthy egyptians were mummified this way. Though all living things were mummified, even animals. They just were not mummified the same way.If this is not understandable, please understand the fact that I am only ten years old.The ancient Egyptian mummification process was essentially one of dessication using salts (natron) and the process took up to 60 days to complete.Obviously when a body dies it begins to rot and this rotting starts with the internal organs. Thus to stop this rotting and preserve these organs you need to take them out and dry them separately as soon as possible.

Can you reverse a neutered dog?

Spaying of female dogs involves surgical removal of the ovaries, and uterus, to ensure that no unwanted pups are had.Because these organs are removed, it means that they can not be put back at a later date.So no, spaying can not be reversed.No. When a dog is spayed, the uterus and ovaries are completely removed from her body. It is the same operation that in women is called a complete hysterectomy. Since her reproductive organs are removed, she can no longer have puppies, and there is no way to get those organs back.Being spayed is generally much healthier for the dog.

What are canopic jars used for?

Canopic jars used in Egyptian mummification rituals were used during the Old Kingdom Period (about 2686 BC) all the way through to the New Kingdom (about 1000 BC). About 500 Years after King Tutankhamen, they had improved the embalming process, so they began drying the organs, then replacing them in the body cavity before they were closed back up and linen-wrapped, and therefore didn't continue to use Canopic jars to hold the organs of the deceased.
