Those were removed and put in sealed jars. Generally, if you want to be mummified whole, you have to fall into a peat bog. Timing would be of the essence. Fall into one too soon and it would totally mess up the rest of your life. So, stay away from peat bogs until you are really old.

But I'm sure they could come up with some advanced new mummification techniques that would make it less tedious (and would let you keep your organs). Ooh, yeah, I saw that too, Alex.
