| The Egyptians removed the viscera, which were preserved separately in four canopic jars. |
| They found canopic vases, traditionally used to preserve body organs, but no grave goods, suggesting the tomb was robbed in ancient times. |
| Some of the most important of these were a large box containing the canopic jars and a chest containing statuettes called shabtis. |
| Prior to this, the dried organs would not have been replaced in the body and they would have been placed in canopic jars. |
| We made death masks, Egyptian scrolls and canopic jars, decorated with hieroglyphics. |
| The canopic jar needs to be thick and sturdy, so more layers of newspaper strips are applied to the base. |
