Picture By Carole & Rob Haines
A carving from Hatshepsut temple
This picture came from the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the chapel of Anubis.
The top of the picture has the traditional amulet of power and protection which is the winged sun –disc.
The Hieroglyphic text on the right of the picture was disfigured a part from the titles of the gods. The original text there was to refer to the queen herself. The left side of the picture has three complete hieroglyphic sentences read
1st. The living Horus, the mighty one, he who shines on Waset" Luxor" the ruler with the hounored heart.
2nd. Life to the king of upper and lower Egypt, " the coronation -cartouche reads he who is the firm existence of Ra" the beloved of Amun-Ra.
3rd. Life to the sun of Ra "the birth-cartouche reads Thut mass, child of the ibis-god, the good being" May "he "be given life forever. . Copyrig ©Musegypt
