What did the egyptions do with the heart during mummification?
The Egyptian left the heart in the body. They did this as a ritual so that the heart would be with them in the afterlife. In the afterlife, the heart was weighed against a feather. This was done in order to see if the Egyptian was good or bad during the first life. If the heart weighed less than the feather, that meant the Egyptian was good. If the heart was heaver that the feather than that meant 
they were bad in the first life.
they were bad in the first life.Why did the Egyptians make the tombs?
The Egyptians made the tombs so they could put the pharohs in the tombs to keep them safe. It was not always successful because people went into the tombs and robbed them. They took all the gold unless it was well hidden.
