Detailed explanation-1: -664–525 BC ? Canopic jars were made to contain the organs that were removed from the body in the process of mummification: the lungs, liver, intestines, and stomach. Each organ was protected by one of the Four Sons of Horus : Hapy (lungs), Imsety (liver), Duamutef (stomach), and Qebehsenuef (intestines).
Detailed explanation-2: -What are canopic jars? Canopic jars also known as jars of the old kingdom were the containers used to hold the internal organs that were removed from the dead body before mummification. During the Old Kingdom, when mummification was in its infancy, the jars that served this purpose were stone vessels with a plain lid.
