16.  "It is a striking circumstance that we discover a parallel to these ‘genii’ among the ancient Maya of Central America, who possessed four deities placed one at each point of the compass to uphold the heavens. Their names were Kan, Mulac, Ix, and Cauc, or, according to other authorities, Hobnil, Kanzicnal, Zaczini, and Hozanek, and it has been stated that the Maya made use of funerary jars called after these, bacabs, which held the internal organs of their dead." - Lewis Spence, Egypt - Myth & Legends, page 29.

22.   The King's ba is referred to as a hawk in the Pyramid Texts, (utterances 488 and 491) and was later depicted as such.  In time a human head replaced the hawk's head and Finders Petrie writes that this evolution occurred because it would have been considered more noble to have a human head than a bird's head.  He adds that the supposition of the soul flitting as a bird would naturally precede the invention of the composite form. - Religion and Conscience in Ancient Egypt, p. 30.
