#bd 148

The papyrus of Amenemwia (Amunemwija). Hathor emerges from the mountains as a cow as a figure on the other side of the mountains lifts the sun at dawn. A shaven-headed figure, presumably the deceased, worships the sundisc.

If I've got this right, Hathor's appearance is a simplified Chapter 186 of the Book of the Dead. At right, the four oars or rudders of the sky are protected by uraei and eyes of Horus, which is Chapter 148.

Where: Neues Museum Berlin

Meshareduisekeb's Amduat papyrus. That's Hathor in cow form at the far left; then the four steering oars of the sky, with red handles and half-black, half-white paddles, each one protected by a uraeus (they wear alternate white and red crowns) and an eye of Horus. These represent Chapter 186 of the Book of the Dead (Hathor) and Chapter 148 (the oars). (I reckon the hieroglyphs next to each one read nfr-m-pt, beautiful in the sky, but don't quote me.)

When: Third Intermediate Period, 21st Dynasty
