Prior to mummification the organs were placed in 4 canopic jars. One each for the stomach, lungs, liver and intestines. The heart was kept inside the boday as ancient Egyptians believed this was the seat of the soul so it was left in the body. The organs were placed in the canopic jars as the Egyptians felt they would be needed in the afterlife, so they were not mummified.
