The water is full of vegetation - Ptah is the reeds. Sakhmet the lotus shoots. The goddess of dew is the lotus buds, and Nefertem the blossoms.

The Memphis Ferry (Papyrus Harris 500) in Hymns, prayers, and songs: An anthology of ancient Egyptian lyric poetry. Translated by John L Foster. p 165.

Dionysus: Pretty sure I just got glass in my foot 

Cassandra: Take it out!

Sakhmet: No, leave it. Livens up the place

Baphomet: Dio's foot is so boring. If someone asked me my top three most boring additions to this world I'd say your foot that you have to shank with glass so people find it more interesting. 

Baphomet: ... Are you okay

Persephone: Dio, please respond! 

Dionysus: What would you do if I died of glassy foot and that was the last thing you ever said to me. What if I got so mad that I forgot there was glass in it and stamped my foot and it shot up into my brain and died.

Inanna: I just laughed so hard I heard something click in the back of my head I'm scared

Abdel Aziz and the conservators finished their work on the columns in the Mut Temple’s porches on March 7. This photo and most of the others in this post were taken by Abdel Aziz in the final stages of the work and at the end. If you compare this shot with the next picture (taken some years ago), you’ll see what a difference their work has made. We are incredibly fortunate that they were willing to take on this project. And we are most grateful to Abdel Aziz for taking all the photos for the last few posts.

Just a reminder that this is what the porches looked like before the 2023 season, with fallen column drums lying helter skelter in the East Porch and the collapsed column blocking the view of the rams near the West Porch.

On March 4 Ayman supervised the lifting of what should have been the final column drum in the west column. It turned out not to fit, no matter how they tried, so it had to be taken down and left beside the column.

By March 6, the west column was finished. It looks much better than it did at the start of the season, when it was pretty much a heap of sand. Now at least you can tell it is a column.

This is the West Porch on March 7, with the column restored as much as it could be and the whole area cleaned up.

And here is the East Porch on March 7. While there are still miscellaneous column fragments that can’t be put back in place, the porch is looking much more organized.

A leftover piece of business from our shortened season. While working in the north square in Temple A, we uncovered these three pieces of diorite (not to scale): the back of a throne (left), part of a torso (top) and a hand. On the torso fragment you can just make out the bandeau at the bottom that ran under the breast and part of the broad collar at the top left.

It wasn’t until the season was almost over that we realized the fragments came from the lone Sakhmet statue on the north side of the court – why we didn’t think of this immediately we don’t know. The hand and throne fragment fit easily, but the statue’s torso was too damaged for the breast fragment to be reattached. When they finished with the columns, the Egyptian conservators re-attached the hand and throne back, and left the torso fragment sitting on the statue’s lap.

Almost every evening around sunset we watched huge flocks of ibises fly north. We don’t know where they came from or where they were going, but the flights were beautiful.

We close this last post of our last season with a view of the moon setting over the Nile. We will miss the beauty of this place as well as the people there we have come to know and love.

[08] -- SEKHMET

✦ TITLE: Lady Sekhmet -- The Goddess of War, Fire, Womanhood, and Vengeance

✦ SACRED ANIMAL: The Lioness ✦ DIVINE WEAPON: Battle Axe ✦ NOTABLE EPITHETS: "Lady of Slaughter; Mistress of Dread; Devouring Flame; The One Before Whom Evil Trembles" ✦ PROFILE: https://deitiesproject.com/portfolio/sekhmet/

----------

Lady Sekhmet, "The Eye of Ra," is the eldest of Ra’s daughters. Her sisters include Mafdet, Hathor, Serqet, and Bastet.

Sekhmet is known for her frightening power in battle, with the fierce intensity of a seasoned huntress and warrioress. She's a goddess of few words and little room for leniency. Though not quick to anger, her unbridled rage can have devastating consequences once provoked.

DEITIES x OC_TOBER -- Deity Profiles [Full Character Lineup]

----------

Sekhmet's another supporting character from the main story of DEITIES -- a powerful goddess who's not to be messed with or crossed. My fun fact for her will be some extended backstory that many already know:

In many versions of Egyptian Mythology, Sekhmet was tasked with culling the mortals who were blaspheming and conspiring against her father and king, Lord Ra. But her wrath and bloodlust had caused her to nearly slaughter all of humanity. This would have led to mankind's extinction, were it not for the intervention of the other gods and mortals working together to calm Sekhmet's mind and end the massacre.

By the start of the main story of DEITIES, the pantheon and mortals have recovered since that incident, and Sekhmet has reformed herself to remain a well-respected goddess. But I imagine it's still not a moment that Sekhmet is proud of or likes to revisit, and one that most beings are wise enough not to bring it up in her presence (emphasis on most -- some of ya'll are bold lmao).

At the very least, I'd like to think it makes her a good foil for Set, and vice versa -- something I'd like to explore more sometime... 🤔✨

Carnelian was thought to be a stone of protection in Ancient Egypt. This was commonly implemented in scarabs or made into jewelry pieces to help ward off evil spirits.

There have been Bes amulets, pendents and tailsman found dedicated to him. Bes was a daemon associated to help ward off evil spirits.

The Tyet, also known as the Knot of Isis, is also a powerful symbol that was often made out of stones like carnelian, red jasper and/or red glass. The red stones were said to protect the dead and would drive away those who would commit crimes against them. The Tyet was also made out of green faience, too, though, and this was to symbolize the renewal of life.

Carnelian has been associated with Re, his solar disk, the Eye of Horus, and with the fire aspect of certain gods like Sakhmet and Wepset.

Other sources speculate carnelian was to help with courage, vitality and was linked to royalty. While these other sources are conflicting the most agreed upon representation of this stone seems to be of protection.

Art aficionados 🤝 Autumn lovers… we’ve got just the event for you. Join us in the Sculpture Garden on October 8 from 3–8 pm for Oktoberfest.⁠ ⁠ Sakhmet, pictured here, was the daughter of the ancient Egyptian sun god Re. In her role as a protector, she defended Egypt from all enemies—typically through violence that led to an unquenchable blood lust. Her violence was believed to be so relentless that she had to be placated with offerings like beer dyed the color red to resemble blood.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by Sakhmet’s taste, we’ll celebrate craft beer, community with the iconic Bed-Stuy bar Bed-Vyne Brew and have an opportunity to revel in ancient Egypt with a tour from curator, Yekaterina Barbash. ⁠ ⁠ 🎟 https://bit.ly/3RkgAs5
