BRAIN is an important organ. Without it, there is no point in having hearts, livers, lungs, limbs, stomach or even penises. This makes me wonder, if the ancient Egyptians believe that they will be resurrected in a brand new world when they die in this world, then why did they remove all the organs from their bodies for mummifcation process? Wouldn't they need at least the brain to begin with? Or, perhaps dump their neuro-surgeons into the tomb so that someone has the expertise to reinstall the brain back in? The next life would be meaningful if the brain remains with us, wouldn't it? But, hey! Lo and behold, although it was once thought that Egyptians remove the brain while embalming bodies, it is now understood through recent research that the brain was never removed and remained intact in the mummies. Yay! They can now function with brains in that new life. For me, I sure need my lungs to go with me. Otherwise, I'd be cranky not being able to smoke my cigarettes. While I'm at it, I should throw in some cartons of Marlboro into the tomb as well.
