Hapi

:"This article is about the funerary deity. For percussion musical instrument by the same name see HAPI drum. "Hapi" is also an alternate spelling for Hapy, a Nile god".

Hapi was one of the Four sons of Horus depicted in funerary literature as protecting the throne of Osiris in the Underworld. Hapi is depicted as a baboon-headed mummified human on funerary furniture and especially the canopic jars that held the organs of the deceased. Hapi's jar held the lungs. Hapi was also the protector of the North. Hapi was assigned to a tutelary protective goddess Nephthys. [David B. O'Connor, Eric H. Cline, "Amenhotep III: Perspectives on His Reign",University of Michigan Press 1998,ISBN 0472088335, p.121]
