[archaeologs]

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.

[On a yellow coffin, Nephthys kneels on the hieroglyph for gold, her arms raised above her head. On her left is Imsety and on her right, Duamutef, both as yellow mummies with green stripes. The goddess is green and so is Duamutef's jackal head.]

The Amins were perfect houseguests for the duration of their stay and allowed Agnes and Connor to believe that their own two children may not grow up to be demons.

A little sneak peak of chapter 11 of frostbite,

"Coffee sloshes over Tim’s hand as he nearly loses his grip. The young man’s mind takes flight, his past swelling beneath him like a zephyr. He sees the canopic jars with their vacant, painted stares; they hold his spleen, his hair, his blood, his slick. Tim’s name is framed in a cartouche, etched precisely on each alabaster container. Ra’s leisurely smile lingers in front of him, calm and condescending, as the immortal twists off the heads of Horus’s sons one by one – Hapi, Duamutef, Imseti, Qebehsenuef. 

In his father’s study a similar collection had been lined on a high shelf, out of reach of Tim’s childish grasp.

The scent of viscera and caramel blends in the vast spaces of Ra’s throne room, and Tim remembers how he had frozen in place, paralysed, as the Demon’s Head had drawn closer to run a slow hand down Tim’s spine. Gentle fingers pushed a lock of hair behind his ear as Ra’s leant in to murmur, “If I must, I will take you in pieces young Detective, but I would rather have you whole. The choice is yours. In the end, you will be mine either way.”

Welcome to the Black Market

I actually watched episode five of Midnight Museum live-ish, so let's see how my theories unraveled in this episode:

The Lotus

The crescent moon, which symbolizes life and death, showed up several times, but the lotus was also clearly shown which symbolizes rebirth (I couldn't figure out if it was a crown or a lotus before). There is also a smaller crescent moon on top of the lotus.

That bbq body is about to get reborn.

Tarot Cards

Khatha was the Hermit, which I guessed he was the Emperor because of his clothing and position in the poster, but the Hermit would make sense since he mirrored the image when he first encountered Dome in the past but he didn't have a lantern, which is a key element to the Hermit due to his introspection.

Sidenote: The Emperor and Justice (who I think Khatha and Bam are) conflict with each other because they are two different types of rule and power.

Triphop was the Chariot, which is powerful and represents overcoming difficulties, but...he hid the card, so I still think he is the Hierophant unless that was his grandfather's position.

The High Priestess was the mystery woman.

New God

Last episode, Dome was told something about his mission involving a new god. The High Priestess left behind a bible with her card in it, and she recited Acts 2.19-2.20:

I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke./ The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

That bbq body is looking more and more godly.

Auction

There are six known Fabergé eggs still missing. They held surprises in them such as pictures or other treasures. The auction featured two because Triphop already lost one, and Khatha was outbid for the other.

Van Gogh created several sunflowers paintings which were part of a series. There are two known ones missing, but Two Sunflowers is not one.

Egyptian canopic jars hold vital organs that were removed during the mummification process. This set features the "four sons of Horus: the baboon 'Hapy,' representative of the North and protector of the lungs; the god 'Duamutef' jackel-headed guardian of the East, who protected the stomach; the hawk 'Qebhsennuf' of the West, protector of the intestines; and the god 'Imsety' of the South, human-headed guardian of the liver." Thank goodness Khatha won this because if homegirl is trying to Frankenstein/Build-a-Bear her way into a god, not having the organs would be a big obstacle.

This is the 1727 'Davidoff, Morini' Antonio Stradivari violin. It was stolen in 1995 from a locked room with no forced entry and hasn't been seen since. Some believe a ghost took it.

Although the the High Priestess bought a lot like Perseus' shield with the head of Medusa

She wasn't there to buy anything. She was there to confirm Khatha has what she needed - Dome, which he did by buying the Onmyōdō necklace. If Dome really is the Magician, he has the power to bring back the bbq body.

Brother?

Nope! We already know they aren't blood related in the past nor the present. Khatha first encounters Dome when his boat drifts to shore. Best Friends Forever maybe, but brothers in the blood-related sense is out the window.

@slayerkitty - Thanks for the heads up as usual, and I'm still rooting for Dome x Khatha. I don't care what this Triphop says.

On Padiamun's coffin, The Devourer appears in the form of a dog, sitting at Thoth's feet as he records the result of the judgement. The deceased kneels behind Thoth, holding his heart. Anubis and Maat stand under the scales, and a large snake protecting Osiris in his pavilion rears up in front of Maat. Behind the pavilion we can see Imsety and Hapy, two of the sons of Horus.

Hathor: Horus is a breeder

Horus: No I'm not!!!!

Thoth: You gave her 4 babies on your first try, that's something

this is freaking crazy.. and i didn't realise this when i first read this ask, but there is ACTUAL lore for this:

^^ a cute family pic of Horus' quadruplets, L-R: Imsety, Hapi, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef.

i mean. it doesn't actually say they're quadruplets but i'm electing to imagine them to be quadruplets because it's infinitely funnier. also, it doesn't say if Hathor's their mother or not, but like. i don't really associate Horus with any other consort besides her, so im choosing to actually believe Anon is RIGHT, and yeah. Hathor and Horus have quadruplets.

also. something really cute i read about them is that all 4 boys are associated with particular organs during the process of embalmment (though it's not specified who's in charge of what) BUT they're also associated with 4 goddesses who are connected with the afterlife too- "usually Isis for Imsety, Nephthys for Hapy, Neith for Duamutef, and Serqet for Qebehsenuef" WHICH i think is super cute.

What Are Canopic Jars and Why Were They Used in Ancient Egypt?

What Are Canopic Containers? 

Objects intended as containers for internal organs removed during the mummification process are generally called canopic. They consist of jars and boxes as well as miniature sarcophagi and masks. It refers to all kinds of vessels intended to hold the viscera taken for mummification in ancient Egypt. 

The Deities Associated with the Four Main Organs 

Since the end of the Old Kingdom, the four main organs that were removed became associated with a particular deity. 

(1) The liver was identified with Imseti, one of the four sons of Horus, who could claim protection from the goddess Isis. 

(2) For the lungs, the pairing was Hapi and the goddess Nephthys. 

(3) for the stomach, the third son Duamutef and the goddess Neith. 

(4) for the intestines, the fourth son Qebehsenuef and the goddess Selket. Those from the middle of the New Kingdom are usually recognizable by their heads: Imseti has a human figure; Hapi a baboon figure; Duamutef a jackal figure; Qebehsenuef a falcon figure. 

The Origins of Canopic Products

The earliest canopic products placed bundles of dried and wrapped entrails directly into a specially constructed box or cavity in the wall. Although such canopic niches are found at Saqqara in Second Dynasty tombs, the first clear examples date to the Fourth Dynasty (ca. 2649-2609 BCE), where a number of tombs at Meidum contain niches whose size and location (which match later canopic use) indicate that they were canopic boxes. A real box was provided for Sneferu's wife, carved from a block of Egyptian alabaster and divided into four square compartments, each containing a block that was almost certainly part of her internal organs soaked in a solution of natron.
