ANCIENT CANOPIC JARS: Ancient Egyptian Canopic jars were integral funerary items used in the mummification process to store and protect the preserved internal organs of the deceased. Typically, these jars were made from materials such as limestone, alabaster, or pottery and were intricately decorated with hieroglyphic inscriptions and symbolic motifs. Canopic jars were used to hold the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines, which were removed during the embalming process and preserved separately. Each jar was associated with one of four protective deities known as the "Four Sons of Horus": Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef, who were responsible for guarding the organs in the afterlife. The lids of the jars often depicted the heads of these deities or were shaped like human heads. Canopic jars played a crucial role in ensuring the deceased's successful journey to the afterlife, protecting their organs and ensuring their resurrection. These artifacts offer valuable insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs about death, the afterlife, and the importance of preserving the body for eternity.
