Removed Internal Organs Were Either Sealed in Jars or Replaced in The Body

Linen was stuffed into the holes formed to remove the internal organs. Internal organs were removed and stored separately. The stomach, liver, lungs, and intestines were placed in Canopic jars, which are still used today. The appearance of Canopic jars has evolved over time. Some have plain lids, while others represent human heads, while others have covers displaying the head of Anubis, the god of death and embalming, and yet others have coverings depicting the four sons of Horus, who serve as guardians of the organs in the jars.

The mummy was interred with the Canopic jars. Internal organs were not stored in jars in later Egyptian dynasties; instead, they were treated, wrapped, and returned within the deceased's corpse. Canopic jars, on the other hand, were still used in the ritual and were buried with the dead, albeit empty.
