The ancient Egyptians believed that the deceased would need their organs in the afterlife, and that they should be carefully preserved and buried in the grave of the corpse.

Cookies PolicyPrivacy Statement above: Four Sons of Gore Rising from the Lotus Flower (Blue Lilly) Four Sons of the Mountain are sometimes described as hilarious deities, or genii (singing, genius). Their names are Imsety (imsti), Hapy (hpy, not to be confused with the god of the Nile River, happy), Duamutef and Kebehsenuef. All references to these deities are amusing in context, and it seems that no cult has ever honored them. Although the family genealogy of these deities is not well known, they are clearly listed as the sons of Gore in any number of texts. For example, while are said to be their mother, in a spell of 125 Books of the Dead, they are seen as having emerged from a lotus flower (Blue Lilly). In various texts, Gore Hema, Harsies and Mountain the Elder are called their father. The four sons were also associated with four protective goddesses, usually paired with Imseti and Isis, Hapi and Oil, Duamutef and Nate, and Kebehsenuf and Selket. Above: Duamutef with the head jackel Sons of Mountain have been associated with various points of the compass as well, with Imsety connected to the south, Hapi with the North, Duamutef East and Kebehsenuef West. In addition, Hapi and Duamutef were linked to the northern city of Buto, while Imseti and Kebehsenuf were associated with the southern, or upper Egyptian city of Hieraconpolis. We find references to these deities from the Old Kingdom in all the way to Greco-Roman times. The earliest extensive religious text, known as pyramidal texts, mentions them a total of fourteen times. From these texts we learn about their basic nature. For example, the spell of 2078 and 2079 describe them as friends of the king, (who) attend this king....the children of Mount Hema (summerpolis); they tie the rope-stairs for this king. they make a solid wooden staircase for this king, they force the king to climb Hepri when he comes to the place in the eastern part of the sky. From the spell of 1333, we learn that they are, spreading the protection of life over your father osiris king, since he was restored by the gods, while Sepll 552 tells us that I will not drink for the reason of Shu, I will not be hungry because of ; Hapi, Duamutef, Kebehsenuf and Imseti will banish this hunger in my stomach and this thirst on my lips. However, in the Book of the New Kingdom Going Forth by Day (, Spell 137), tells us more about these gods: About Sons of Mountain, Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, Kebehsenuef: how you spread your defense over your father Osiris-Khentimentiu, so that spread your protection over (the deceased) as you remove the obstacle from Osiris-Hentimti, so that he can live with God and seth. Spell 17 further on these gods, telling us that: As for the tribunal that stands behind Osiris, Imseti, Hapi, Duamutef, Kebehsenuef; they are behind the Great Bear in the northern sky... As for these seven spirits, Imseti, Hapi, Duamutef, Kebehsenuf, Maayotefa, On-Who-under-his-Moringa Tree, and Gore-without eyes, they were established by Anubis as protection for the burial of Osiris. Above: Image Imsety In the tenth section of the Book of the Gate, these supernatural beings are also shown restraining umti (wmmti) snakes that were allies of Apophis, the enemy of Re, with chains. Therefore, being protectors, it is not surprising that from the Celestial Empire to the Greco-Roman era these deities are mentioned in almost every tomb, and their forces are hummed on almost all coffins and canopy equipment. We find actual representations of them during the 18th dynasty on the sides of the coffin trough, with Anubis-Amivet and Anubis-Queni-on-netjer standing between the genii. They were also depicted on the sarcophagus of the New Kingdom in stone and wood. During this period, three-dimensional images of their heads adorned the lids of canopies because they were believed to be either guardians or the actual reincarnation of specific organs removed during its mummification. In this regard, Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef and Kebehsenuef have been linked to the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines respectively, although sometimes the associations Hapy and Duamutef found switched about. For example Hapy and Duamutef were connected to the hands, while Imsety and Kebehsenuef were connected with the legs (Spell 149 forms the pyramid text). Above: Four sons of Gore from Ai's tomb on canopy technique, their heads were originally depicted as human, although several canopy chests from the Celestial Empire depict them with falcon heads. In these early periods they usually wear a divine tripartite wig, although in the tomb of King Ai in the Valley of the Kings in the West Bank of Luxor (ancient Thebes), Imseti and Hapi are depicted in the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, while Duamutef and Kebessenuf wear the White Crown of southern Egypt. However, between the beginning of the 18th dynasty and the mid-19th dynasty, their heads were depicted differently, with Imset's head remaining human, while Hapi took over the appearance of the monkey, Duamutef, that jackal, and Kebeshsenuef, that falcon. This form of representation persisted during the Greco-Roman period, with the exception of the 22nd and 23rd dynasties, when at least six different combinations of gods could be found, the most common of which were Duamutef and Kebessenuf changing heads. Above: Hapi as Baboon and Kebessenuf with the head of a falcon from Nefertari's tomb at the end of the 3rd intermediate period, these deities even got more In addition to their presence on coffins and horse-drawn equipment, faience amulets of deities were attached to bandages or other mummy wraps. Since the days of Ramesses III, there have been images of Gore's four sons being placed in the mummy's body cavity. Interestingly, the Four Sons of Gore continued to be depicted on fun equipment in the Ptolemy and Roman eras, and the last known specimens were found as early as the 4th century AD, as well as in the Christian era.
