they canot rot. whilst the stages of mummification they take out all the vital organs but only the heart remaind. they were kept in canopic jars.
Canopic jars are special jars they keep the vital organs in. ancient Egyptians believed that they guard a different organ.
1. Imsety had a human head, protected the liver.
2. Qebehsenuf had the head of a falcon and guarded the intestines.
3. Hapy had a baboon head protected the lungs.
4. Duamatef had the head of a jackal, and guarded the stomach.
The four canopic jars were put into a special chest that went into the tomb with the mummy.
(this was awnserd by a 11 year old whilst doing her home work on mummification !! :) )
