The Organs Were Stored in Religious Jars
Along with the brain, a cut was made in the abdomen in which all the organs of the body were removed except for the heart. The heart was left in place as it was believed to be the centre of emotion and intelligence. All other vital organs that were removed were placed in religious canopic jars. However, the brain was not one of them. The ancient Egyptians didn’t know the brain’s function and claimed it was unimportant.
