From what I've read and I don't know how true it is; they have unlocked the secret of the Egyptians so-called canopic jars or pots that contained not an embalmed organs (heart tissue) but cosmetics secret ingredients. Others said, just an ordinary cosmetics.
Wikipedia says, the Egyptian canopic jars were used to preserve human organs like the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver that were removed during the mummification process. Technically they need to use four jars separately.
Watch the video link from Encyclopedia Britannica of the Egyptians mummification method:

Stomach, intestines, lungs & liver.
Nice!
The jars are called Canopic Jars, and four different jars each contain one of the organs listed above.
Each jar is decorated with a different god who between them represent the four points of the compass (North, East, South & West)
Wikipedia has a nice list of who protected what and I've listed it in the sources section below.
Interestingly the heart was left in the body as it was considered to be the seat of the soul.
