There were always four canopic jars in a tomb of a pharaoh. One
had the god Hapy. He shares the facial features of a baboon and the
lungs were placed in his canopic jar. The next is Qebehsenuef where
the intestines were placed. The following is Duamutef, a jackel.
The tummy was placed in this god's jar for prtection. The last of
the four is Imesty, who is a human god, that the liver of the
enbalmed person was placed in for protection. These gods are the
sons of Horus, a falcon that was god of the sky.
