In the process of mummification certain organs-the liver, the lungs, the stomach, and the intestines-were removed, embalmed separately, and stored in jars. Each of the organs was identified with one of the Four Sons of Horus: the liver with Imsety (man's head), the lungs with Hapy (baboon's head), the stomach with Duamutef (jackal's head), and the intestines with Qebehsenuef (falcon's head).
