Four sons of Horu-Ur/Horus the elder who made up the four Canopic Jars. they assist the king in his ascension to heaven in the eastern sky by means of ladders. They were said not only to be his children but also his souls. As the king, or Pharaoh was seen as a manifestation of, or especially protected by, Horu/Horus, these parts of the deceased pharaoh, referred to as the Wesir/Osiris, were seen as parts of Horu/Horus, or rather, his children. were known as the Seven Shining Ones, protectors of the body of Wesir/Osiris. According to this myth, they were born from a lily flower that arose from the primaeval ocean. The classic depiction of the four sons of Horus on Middle Kingdom coffins show Imsety and Duamutef on the eastern side of the coffin and Hapi and Qebehsenuef on the western side. The eastern side is decorated with a pair of eyes and the mummy was turned on its side to face the east and the rising sun; therefore, this side is sometimes referred to as the front.
