During mummification in ancient Egypt, several organs were removed to help preserve the body. The heart was typically left in place or sometimes replaced with a scarab amulet, as it was considered the seat of intelligence and emotion. The lungs, stomach, intestines, and liver were usually removed, embalmed, and placed in canopic jars. These jars were then buried with the deceased to protect the organs for the afterlife.
