The ancient Egyptians used different jars, known as canopic jars, to store and protect the internal organs of the deceased during mummification. Each jar was dedicated to a specific organ: the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver, and was guarded by a corresponding deity. The heart, considered the seat of intelligence and emotion, was typically left in the body, as it was believed to be weighed in the afterlife to determine a person's worthiness for eternal life. This practice reflected their deep beliefs in the afterlife and the importance of preserving the body for the journey beyond.
