CHAPTER LXXV.
Chapter whereby one cometh to Heliopolis and receiveth a seat there.
I have come out of the Tuat: I am come from the ends of the Earth, lighting up the Tank, whither the desires of them who bring salutation guide me. I pass through the noble dwellings of those who are coffined. I open the dwelling of Remrem, I reach the house of Achsesef.([1]) I am led on to the noble mysteries, and I enter into the house of Kemkem.
[The Tet amulet([2]) layeth its two hands upon me and assigneth me to its sister, and the custody of its mother, Kehkehit, who setteth me upon the Eastern path of Heaven upon which Rā ariseth and mounteth on high each day.
May I too arise, and be led on, and assume the mummied form as a god, and let them set me upon that noble path] whereon Thoth travelleth when he appeaseth the two Combatants([3]) as he goeth to Pu and advanceth to Tepu.
Notes.
[1.] These gods are not often mentioned. But we are told in the inscriptions of Rech-ma-rā (Mission Arch. du Caire, V, 127) that Achsesef is master of the (
) great hall of the Prince of those in Amenta. Cf. Todt., 142, 13 and 21.
[2.] The Tet amulet,
, has a chapter of its own, chapter 156. Divinity was supposed to reside in this and the other religious symbols, which are often represented in pictures with hands and feet. The annexed Vignette is from the Louvre papyrus III, 93, at ch. 93.
The part of this chapter which is within brackets is ancient, but is omitted in late copies.
[3.] The two Combatants. Sut and Horus.
