 In an elaborate mortuary ritual in the New Kingdom, the human organs of the dead were placed in four canopic jars. Four organs in particular had a specific mystical function. These organs were protected by four gods call the four sons of Horus. Each patron god protected a particular organ. The jar containing the liver was protected by Imset, a bearded human god, The jar protected by lungs was protected by Hapy, a baboon god. The jar containing stomach was protected by Duametef, a jackal god.
