The organs were removed from the body and put in jars
The organs were placed in canopic jars. They had the four sons of Horus(Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef) as the top cap of the jars. The heart was not placed in the canopic jars because the Egyptians thought that it was the controller of the body-as if it was the brain.
The internal organs of bodies were removed before mummification and placed in special containers called canopic jars, which were entombed along with the mummy.
