Ancient Egyptians believed the heart was the center of intelligence and emotion. They also thought so little of the brain that during mummification, they removed the brain entirely from bodies.

QUOTE (Cleo_Serapis @ Aug. 04 2003, 16:40) Ancient Egyptians believed the heart was the center of intelligence and emotion. They also thought so little of the brain that during mummification, they removed the brain entirely from bodies. Didn't they also remove other organs that easily decayed within corpse? Didn't they save all the parts in canopic jars? I think they had the correct idea about the brain being a minor player... :) :)....Don |
