[edit] Sarcastically?!?
Ok, I gotta admit, the authors detail and research are commendable. Especially the parellel to the chinese philosophy. The jokes "Broken hearts are caused by women..." That's just funny. Usually opinions entered into articles are done so by weasling but this is done with plain sarcasim that is suprisingly cute but not overwhelming and has actually made my Egyptian research more enjoyable.

[edit] No sources!
These stories behind the names -- it's the first I've ever heard of them -- Qebehsenuef is a reference to poison!? Imseti means kindly one!? Duamutef in reference to his motherland!? ims-ib means kindly -- but that has a different orthography. If there are no sources for any of this, this article should be scrapped. --Cliau 04:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree the derivation and meaning of the SoH given here are highly speculative and I intend to update. I would like to know where they came from since I can find no reference to any of this in the books I have read.Apepch7 23:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Egyptian artefact type
This is one of the most common artefact types of Egypt, since so many tombs, and mummies are in museums. I'm pretty sure some great examples (A Picture) of One of the four Canopic jars could be put on this page. Michael intheHOTdesertofYUMA,Az--Mmcannis 13:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- A more appropriate picture would be a group of the 4 jars, good resolution, with the 4 differing lids on the jars.--MichaelinHotYUMA,Az--Mmcannis 17:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I have added some pictures today - but these are the best I have - so if you have better. Apepch7 23:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Complete re-edit
I have completely redone this page but I still have to add references (which are available) and further reading. I liked some of the previous entry especially the link to forms of death but could find no justification for this view in Egyptology which makes it just an opinion not fact.Apepch7 11:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
