Example text
Against the crocodile, named as Maga son of SETH, a spell was devised which, to be effectual, had to be recited over a picture of Amun standing on a crocodile and being adored by the Ogdoad. The charm by virtue of Amun ‘bull of his mother’ will conjure up flames to burn up the crocodile. AMUN KAMUTEF This is the ithyphallic form of Amun. The epithet ‘kamutef’ means ‘bull of his mother’. Probably two major concepts lie behind the phrase. One is that, since the god is ‘self-begotten’ or ‘creator of his own egg’, he cannot have a father and so must perform the act of impregnating his own mother.
Historically these bows signify enemies of the pharaoh in the Middle East and Nubia which he has subdued; here they seem to indicate Anubis’s triumph over hostile Underworld forces. 5 Imy-Ut This epithet stresses Anubis’s role in mummification by calling him ‘he who is in the place of embalming’. His association with embalming is recognised in the Pyramid Age where the putrefaction of the king’s flesh is prevented in the name of Anubis. Archaeological evidence shows that evisceration was part of the royal mummification process from at least the beginning of Dynasty IV – Cairo Museum has the jars containing the residue of the internal organs of Queen Hetepheres, mother of Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
There are two further assertions of the royal link with the god to be seen at Deir elBahari. First, the architectural layout is consciously bringing the queen into proximity with Amun – the temple sanctuary and its processional way to the cultivated area and Nile lines up directly with the east–west axis of Karnak temple. Second, the series of reliefs in the southern colonnade at Deir el-Bahari, commemorating the expedition of five ships sent by the queen down the Red Sea to the land of Punt (ϭ probably modern Eritrea and Ethiopia) has as its goal the trade of Egyptian goods for frankincense.
