Big Bad Voodoo Posted December 15, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I believe that they also removed all the organs as well prior to mummification. Egyptology isnt my field there is another members here with far greater knowledge then mine. But it was a long time ago when I was in Egypt and as I remembered we have one Student who study to become Egyptologist from Slovenia who told us that they used special vases for special organs. I dont know much about mummication process. Here are some of those vases from museum in Zagreb. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/gallery/images/5814/zagreb-museum http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/gallery/images/5813/zagreb-museum http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/gallery/images/5812/zagreb-museum Those with animal caps such as Horus vase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted December 15, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just a guess ,but given the small boney holes they had to work with ,I'm betting instruments got stuck ,so they just left them there . I would say its more likely than they forgot it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jars are called canopic jars. They were used to hold the mummified organs of the deceased. They were removed from the body due to the amount of water they retain. The body needs to be completely dried out for the preservation process to work. I love to read about Egyptology and found this book very interesting !
