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.
