Why did the Egyptians not remove the heart in the mummification process and why why did the Egyptians not take out the heart in the mummification process and why?

Oh honey, the Egyptians didn't remove the heart during mummification because they believed it was the center of a person's being, not just a blood-pumping machine. They wanted to keep that bad boy intact for the afterlife journey. Plus, who wants to deal with a squishy heart when you're trying to preserve a body for eternity? Not the Egyptians, that's for sure.

What was mummification and why did the Egyptians carry it out?

Mummification was the process of preserving the "Khet" (physical body) for the afterlife. It consisted of removing vairous internal organs and then dehydrating while embalming the body, before wrapping it in linen and placing it in the burial tomb. During Old Kingdom Egypt, afterlife was a royal privilege only, in the New Kingdom Egypt the afterlife to those who could afford it. The preperations for mummification were designed to guarantee a resting place for their spirit for all time and a place for their mortuary cult to be maintained by the relatives they left behind.

What organ is under your left lung?

I will assume you mean the organ that makes the left lung slightly smaller than the right and causes the apparent dent in the medial side. This organ is the heart. The reason the heart only causes the space in the left lung is that the left ventricle is far larger than the right and protrudes into the space where the lung would otherwise grow. This is the reason that people mistakenly think the heart is in the left of the chest. In reality it sits directly behind the sternum (very center of the thorax) and only the left ventricle sticks over to the left.
