The Egyptians believed it was important to look after the internal organs. They took great care to leave the heart in place because it would be needed again in the afterlife. The rest of the main organs were removed through a cut in the stomach and stored in canopic jars. An embalmer would usually reach a hand inside the body and pull the organs out!
