To Learn and To Love

Consort of Amun-Re,

O' Great Mother,

You cradle my heart, my heart, my heart.

Your warm breath fills my nostrils,

alighting my ka with strength.

You are my guardian,

and my legs are firm.

The Temple of Mut, Karnak

Dozens of statues have been gathered here that were originally installed in the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, across the river. They depict the healing goddess, Sekhmet.

The temple of Mut itself was built just to the south of the temple complex at Karnak. Karnak was dedicated to the god, Amun. Mut was his wife and consort, usually depicted as a woman with a vulture headdress and crowns. She could also be symbolised by a vulture or a lioness. Her temple was surrounded by a horseshoe-like lake, which is now marked by the significant growth of wild vegetation around the site.
