The most important organ of all the brain. It was scooped of the cranium through the nose using a hook. It was thought that the heart controlled the body and the brain was a sponge for cooling the blood.
The heart was left in the body and all the other organs were removed, mummified and placed in canopic jars.

Why was Mummification practiced in Ancient Egypt?
Because they believed the person would need their physical body in the next life. If the body decayed away the person could not properly function in the next life. That is also why the person's wealth and slaves were frequently also buried with rich Egyptians, they would be needed in the next life also to retain the person's social rank.

How long did mummifiecation take?
Mummification, i.e. embalming took about 70 days in the ancient Egypt. The body was embalmed to protect it from decay. The brain and internal organs were removed, apart from the heart.The organs were put into 4 canopic jars (interesting, that the brain, as useless, was thrown away). The body was dried by using a kind of salt called Natron. Then, the body was wrapped in layers of linen (some amulets were hidden between the layers) and a funeral mask was put on the dead's face. So, it was a difficult and long process made by the priests. Anubis was the god of embalming.
