Qebehsenuef is one of the four sons of Horus, along with Hapy, Duamutef, and Imsety. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the Egyptian decans. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the Pyramid Texts frequently connect them with the sky and that Horus himself was a sky deity.

-'''[[Grigori Rasputin|Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin]]''' was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man who befriended the family of [[Nicholas II]], the last Emperor of Russia, and gained considerable influence in late Imperial Russia.
+'''[[Qebehsenuef]]''' is one of the four sons of [[Horus]], along with [[Hapy]], [[Duamutef]], and [[Imsety]]. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the [[Egyptian decans]]. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the [[Pyramid Texts]] frequently connect them with the sky and that [[Horus]] himself was a sky deity.
-Alternative religious movements such as spiritualism and theosophy had become popular among the city's aristocracy before Rasputin's arrival in St. Petersburg, and many of the aristocracy were intensely curious about the [[occult]] and the supernatural. Rasputin traveled to Saint Petersburg in 1903 or the winter of 1904–1905, where he captivated some church and social leaders. He became a society figure and met [[Nicholas II|Tsar Nicholas II]] and Tsarina Alexandra in November 1905.
-Historians often suggest that Rasputin's scandalous and sinister reputation helped discredit the tsarist government and thus helped precipitate the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty a few weeks after he was assassinated. Accounts of his life and influence were often based on hearsay and rumor.
