The Canopus Box of Yua in Tomb KV46, Egypt
Yua was an important figure of the New Kingdom period (15th century BC), the father-in-law of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III (Tutmosis III) and the father of the Egyptian queen Tiye. Yua's canopus box preserves Yua's internal organs, including lungs, stomach, liver and kidneys. In ancient Egyptian burial rituals, the organs were placed in four separate canopus boxes for use in the afterlife. Yuya's Canopus box, currently in the Luxor Museum, is a valuable work of art and archaeological artifact, representing the exquisite craftsmanship and cultural traditions of the high Egyptian society of the time.
