Canopic Jar of the Overseer of the Builders of Amun, Amenhotep

Egyptian, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, reign of Amenhotep II (about 1427–1400 BCE)

A set of four jars that belonged to Amenhotep, who oversaw architectural projects in the temple of Amun at Karnak (in present-day Luxor). Now empty, the jars once held Amenhotep’s liver, lungs, intestines, and stomach, which were removed during the mummification process. Each jar has a hand-sculpted stopper that may represent its owner or one of the four sons of Horus, a set of gods associated with these vital organs. An inscription in hieroglyphs on each container promises divine protection over its contents by a different goddess: Selket, Neith, Nephthys, or Isis.

A set of four canopic jars was an important element of the burial in most periods of Ancient Egyptian history. Canopic jars were containers in which the separately mummified organs would be placed. The best known versions of these jars have lids in the shape of the heads of protective deities called the four Sons of Horus. The human-headed Imsety was the guardian of the liver; the baboon-headed Hapy looked after the lungs; the jackal-headed Duamutef was responsible for the stomach; and the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef cared for the intestines.

I do wish there was a bit more in terms of establishing Rook and Varric’s relationship however I am enjoying the fact that Varric’s recruitment strategy seems to have been scout, detective, and the weird kid from the necropolis to spice things up a little

I said I wasn't done with the Egyptian aesthetic and now here we are. I was really pleased with the idea for these, likening nesting dolls to canopic jars seemed perfect for an ancient paradox 'mon. Thought to have been a crucial companion during ancient burial rituals, Canopic Suite are group of earthen spirits that alwasy come in fours. Thought to have been given the remains of important people in exchange for protection as they cross over, their powers are thought to draw from ancient deities.

okay one thing about g3 cleo is that i like that they acknowledge that her organs are in canopic jars but like... her heart would still be in her body. literally for the reason they state in the show is why mummies would keep their hearts in real life
