The purpose of the four canopic jars in ancient Egypt was to store and preserve the inner organs of the human body. Each canopic jar was protected by one of the four sonsâ of the god Horus and each jar was in the shape of the protector godâs head. The organs were removed during mummification, separately mummified, and wrapped before being placed inside separate jars.
