Historical Outline
1- Amentet & Ra-Horakhty
This beautifully detailed array of gods and goddesses shows us Amentet and Ra-Horakhty in the center surrounded by Horus and Hathor. Amentet is the goddess with the bird on her crown, which stands for the West and so makes her the goddess of the West. Ra-Horakhty is known for his huge sun disk crown. He’s wearing the bull’s tail of strength and holding the 'was' scepter of power. On their thrones is a picture of the Sema-tawy (2 lungs and trachea) with a lotus (Upper Egypt) and papyrus (Lower Egypt) tied around it. This means ‘Union of the 2 lands’, which can be seen on the thrones of most Kings. To the right of them is Horus, wearing the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, as he is the protector of the reigning King. To the left of them is Hathor, the mother and wife protective goddess. She is wearing the menet necklace, which stands for truth and balance (Ma’at)
2- HEART CEREMONY
This bright and beautifully detailed scene is of the weighing of the heart ceremony. This ceremony took place after you died and was your test in order to enter the afterlife. A giant scale would weigh your heart against the feather of truth (Ma’at) and if your heart was lighter than it then you would pass on, but if not then it would be eaten by the Amemet monster. To the Egyptians the heart was considered to be the seat of all knowledge instead of the brain. So here all your good and bad deeds were measured. The image of the deceased as he bows to Thoth and Anubis, who will judge his fate. Thoth is the Ibis headed god who recorded all the happenings. While Anubis, god of the dead, watched over. Seated on top of the scale is a baboon. Baboons were guards of the first gate of the underworld and were connected with Thoth.

This beautiful goddess with the crown of a throne is Isis. She’s the sister-wife of Osiris. She has magical powers as demonstrated when she brought her husband back to life after their brother Seth had killed him. She also had a son named Horus that battled in revenge for his father in order to get the throne of Kingship back. So Horus came to represent the protector of the reigning King and so Isis is the motherly protector of the King. She’s spreading her wings out in protection.

Ramses II devoted the minor temple of Abu Simbel to the Goddess Hathor and dedicated it to Nefertari. There, identified with the Goddess, Nefertari intensely participated in the divine cult. Nefertari gave Ramses II his firstborn son as well as three other sons and two daughters. Nefertari died in her forties. Here, Nefertari receives the breath of life from Isis, the Mother Goddess.

Anubus, god of tomb protection and mummification leads him to the Balance of Justice to weigh his heart against the guiding feather of Ma'at -representing truth. A heavy heart means he is guilty of not following a good life and a light heart means he was a good person .

Despite the richness of his burial, Tutankhamun remains an enigmatic figure. He died as young as 16 or 17 years of age. He was probably a son of King Akhenaton by one of his secondary wives. His wife Ankhesenamun was daughter of Akhenaton and Nefertiti. Tutankhamun came to the throne as a young child and ruled for about nine years under the regency of Vizier Ay and the strong influence of the army commander Horemheb. The main events of his reign were to move the capital of Egypt back from El-Amarna to Memphis and to begin the transiton from the monotheistic cult of Aton created by Akhenaton back to the polytheistic religion of Egypt with Amun-Ra again as the main God.
