The heart of a deseased was always left in the body. This was because the Ancient Egyptians that there was an afterlife. It was thought that the heart of a deseased was to be weighed against the feather of truth by Anubis. If the heart and the feather were balanced, the deseased would proceed into the afterlife where the God Osiris would look after them. If the heart and the feather were unbalanced, then the heart was fed to Ammit, the devourer of the dead and the deseased would go no further.
