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 Isis 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.
