They were called Canopic Jars~

  • The god Duamutef guarded the stomach
  • The god Imsety guarded the liver
  • The god Hapi guarded the lungs
  • The god Qebehsenuef guarded the intestines

The heart wasn't put in a Canopic Jar as it was to be weighed in order to go into the afterlife.

The jars used in the Ancient Egyptian embalming process are called canopic jars. These were used to hold the internal organs of the person being embalmed, except the heart.
