Before wrapping the mummy in linen, the ancient Egyptians typically removed the internal organs, but the heart was often left inside the body or placed back in after being treated. The heart was considered the seat of intelligence and emotion, crucial for the afterlife judgment. Other organs like the lungs, stomach, intestines, and liver were usually embalmed separately and placed in canopic jars.
