How did the Egyptians’ belief of an afterlife contribute to medical advancements? Describe some of those advancements in your answer.

Before the Egyptians were buried, they would have their organs harvested from their bodies. They would remove some organs because they would cause the body to decay if left in place. As much water as possible was removed to help prevent decay. This led to new ways on figuring out how to keep bodies from decaying quickly. This also helped with learning anatomy which improved the knowledge of doctors and so forth!

Hope this helped!
