While researching the brain it was interesting to come across that the Ancient Egyptians during mummification practices for the dead would value the heart assumed as the intelligence seat rather than the brain. Where the brain was considered cranial stuffing..this seems to remain as a belief by many, for example by the saying that we still use today when someone commits something to memory that they “memorized it by heart” rather than by brain...., also feelings such as love and hatred are affiliated with ones heart so in a weird way it is somewhat understandable to see why the Egyptians may have believed that ones conscience was based on their heart. It would be interesting to research the origins of the heart and how it became adopted in commercial world as the symbol of love.
