Why were organs removed in the mummification process?
the organs were removed during mummification because when someone dies their organs begin to rot so they take their organs out to prevent them from rotting inside the body. The organs were stored in canopic jars, all with different designs on them. The organs removed were the stomach, intestines, lungs, and the liver. The brain was also taken out but was discarded. It was taken out with a hook through the nose, this could cause serious damage to the face. The egyptians wanted the person to look as they did during life because they believed that they went on to another place after they died. Their heart was left inside the body to be " weighed " on a feather to decide if they will be accepted into the underworld. Only the wealthy egyptians were mummified this way. Though all living things were mummified, even animals. They just were not mummified the same way.If this is not understandable, please understand the fact that I am only ten years old.The ancient Egyptian mummification process was essentially one of dessication using salts (natron) and the process took up to 60 days to complete.Obviously when a body dies it begins to rot and this rotting starts with the internal organs. Thus to stop this rotting and preserve these organs you need to take them out and dry them separately as soon as possible.
