Canopic Jars

In Egyptian culture, it was believed that any part of the body could be used in a spell against the deceased during their journey through the Underworld. To protect the vital organs, which were believed to be essential for the afterlife, these organs were carefully removed during the mummification process and stored in specially designed containers called Canopic Jars. The organs typically preserved in these jars included the intestines, liver, stomach, and lungs.
