Gods of the Canopic Jars.

Qebehsenuef has the falcon headed jar. He is cool. He is the keeper of the intestines. that would be hard to put in one jar. In some books they say Qebehsenuef is the keeper of the guts but I'm sticking with the intestines

Imesty is the keeper of the liver. Imesty has the human headed jar. Doesn't his jars lid look funny? Ithink it looks funny.

Hapy may have a wierd name but he is really cool. He is the keeper of the lungs. His Canopic jar has a baboon head. I do not know why they used a baboon but they are cool animals. On some pictures it does not look like a baboon.

The god Duamufet is the keeper of the stomach .That would be cool to see the stomach. On his jar he had a jackal head as the lid. As you can see Duamufet has a head that is jackal.
