They had some incredible inventions in Medicine, trade, agriculture even in their social life including the great ways of entertainment they invented and the Mathematics & Architecture developments which turned their life into a truly progressed one.

The Canopic Jars of the ancient Egyptians

Ancient Egyptians believed that the physical preservation of various bodily organs was quintessential for passage to the afterlife. This preservation was particularly important for pharaohs because they took on the persona of Osiris upon death. The liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines of the pharaohs were each removed and carefully placed in individual canopic jars, protected by the four sons of the Horus: Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Kebehseneuf. However, the canopic equipment featured in King Tutankhamun’s tomb in KV 62 defy this seeming tradition and stands as anomaly on its own: all four lids of Tutankhamun’s canopic jars feature his face rather than the sons of Horus and the canopic chest is placed into a larger canopic shrine. 

Thutmose III was born c. 1504 B.C.E, He was a Pharaoh, an accomplished statesman, horseman, and athlete, lover of the arts, an archer and a keen military genius. He succeeded to the throne after his father died, but for the first 20 years of his reign, he shared power with his aunt Hatshepsut Queen. After she died, he became pharaoh. As the sixth pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th dynasty, Thutmose III battled to reestablish the Egyptian rule of ancient Syria and ancient Palestine, creating Egypt’s largest dynasty yet. He died in Egypt c. 1426 B.C.E.
