“The next step was to remove the brain. The priest took a long iron rod with a hook on it. He pushed it up through Tut’s nose, broke through the bone behind the eyes with a squick sound, and twirled the rod around like a whisk to break up and liquefy the brain. Again, they believed the heart was the location for thought, so the brain had no purpose.”
