What did the Egyptians do with the person's brain in the preparation for mummification?
The ancient Egyptians thought that the brain had no function (as it appeared to be just an inert lump of fat) and that the heart was responsible of thinking. During the mummification process they would get a hook and put it inside the nostril. They would break the bone between the nose and the brain. Then they would wiggle the hook and that made the Brain drain from the nose in a liquid form.
What was done with the organs in the mummification process?
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.
