    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Ka Door in three pieces, incised inscription of usual grave formulae and figures and titles of the deceased, traces of red colouring in limestone. Tomb of Athmu, Prophet of Pyramid of Assa, a Pharoah of the Vth dynasty. Reid (1912): 'Inscription signifies: (1) May the King give an offering and may Anubis, the chief in the divine house, give an offering that he may be buried in the Mountain of the West. (2) The blessed one before the great god, the blessed one before Osiris within the city of Busiris. (3) May Osiris give an offering that he may walk upon the beautiful roads on which the blessed ones walk. (4) Funerary offerings in the new year, at the festival of Tahuti, in the beginning of the year, in a feast of every day, for ever. (5) The master district-superintendent of Pharoah, over the secrets of the king in the Great House, the noble one of the King, Aithmu. (6) The confidential friend, chief of the two gardens of Pharoah, guardian of the council-house, superintendent of a department in the garden of the Great House Aithmu. (7) The priest of the pyramid Nefer of Assa, the blessed one. (8) The confidential friend Aithmu. (9) The superintendent of a place, Aithmu. Excellent in guiding the two lands of Assa. (10) The superintendent of a place, Aithmu. (11) Thousands of birds, of jars of wine, of oxen, of loaves of bread, of clothes. The Ka was believed to be part of a person's spirit, which lived on after death. It needed offerings of food and drink to survive. The Ka door is a false door through which the spirit could pass to get the offerings. The hieroglyphs on this Ka door describe it as being from the tomb of Aithmu, an official of the 5th Dynasty pharaoh, Assa. The inscription reads:May the King give an offering and may Anubis, the chief of the divine house, give an offering that he may be buried in the Mountain of the West. The blessed one before the great god, the blessed one before Osiris within the city of Busiris. May Osiris give an offering that he may walk upon the beautiful roads on which the beautiful ones walk.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Figure of the head of Sekhmet. A special chamber was consecrated in the temple of Mut at Thebes to this goddess. This head came from that chamber]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[18th dynasty: 1390-1352 BC: reign of Nebmaatra Amenhotep II Temple of Mut, Karnak, Thebes, Egypt. This bust is part of one of a great number of similar statues of the lioness goddess Sekhmet produced during the reign of Amenhotep III. It has been estimated that originally there may have been around one seated and one standing statue for every day of the year. These statues probably would have had some colouring to enhance certain features. Although this example came from the Temple of Mut, recent academic research indicates that the statues may have formerly constituted part of an unusually elaborate and impressive statuary program connected with Amenhotep III's first jubilee or sed (a festival of renewal), within his Mortuary Temple, at Kom el-Hetan. Amenhotep III;s sovereignty has been characterised as one of great prosperity and stability, which may have enabled his many ambitious architectural projects. The goddess Sekhmet had many facets and attributes and may be identified by various epithets. Sekhmet was closely identified with the goddess Hathor, but, more specifically, she was the goddess of war and strife, traits which may be discerned here in her forbidding and impassive countenance. However, she was also associated with medicine and healing and was invoked as a protectress, for instance against outbreaks of plague. It has also been suggested that Amenhotep III had health or dental problems which may have inspired him to erect so many statues to the goddess. A section of the text named The Book of the Cow of Heaven, dating from the New Kingdom period, concerns the sun-god Re's plan to destroy mankind as punishment for conspiring against him. The goddess Sekhmet, as the eye of Re, enforced Re's will and slaughtered many people. Re relented and tricked the goddess by lacing beer with red-ochre, so it would resemble blood, and flooding the desert with this liquid. Sekhmet slaked her thirst and became drunk and so mankind was saved. Betsy M. Bryan, The statue program for the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III in S.
