a hook through a hole near the nose and pull out a part of the brain.

Then they make a cut on the left side of the body near the tummy to remove

all internal organs and they have to wait until the internal organs dry.

Qebehsenuf While the 3rd Jar had the head of a baboon it’s carried and protected

the lungs and called Happy. The last one had the head of a jackal and carried
