In ancient Egyptian belief, the heart was considered the seat of intelligence and emotion, essential for the afterlife. During mummification, the heart was typically left in place or sometimes placed in a canopic jar, as it was believed to be weighed against the feather of Ma'at in the Judgment of the Dead. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the deceased would be granted eternal life; if heavier, it would be devoured by the monster Ammit. This reinforced the importance of living a just and virtuous life.
