Fun Facts!!!!

Ha ha, I couldn't really find much else on canopic jars, so I just have a super short list of fun facts. Sorry! :-(


  1)  In the twenty-first dynesty, the Egyptians just wrapped all the organs in linen and just placed them back in the body , but yet they still had canopic jars made to be buried with the mummy! Sometimes they even made little fake organs to put in the jars!  Sounds like a waste to me!!

  2)  The jars could be only five inches wide!!

  3)  Really rich people wanted to make their canopic jars out of gold. Sounds kind of expensive!
