CaitlinToner · Answer

The heart remained in the body during mummification in ancient Egypt because it was believed to govern emotions and intellect, serving as the center of a person’s being. This was reflected in the ritual known as the 'Weighing of the Heart,' where it was evaluated against a feather to determine the deceased's fate in the afterlife. Thus, the heart held both physical and spiritual significance in Egyptian beliefs.
