I love Hathor, as she is a sexy mama who liked her fun and did not apologize for it. A true bon vivant, she is often represented in the same way as Isis.

Tomb of Nefertari, the descent, upper west wall Facing Nefertari, ready to receive her offerings, are three goddesses: Isis; her sister, Nephthys; and Ma'at. The first two are seated on chairs, whilst Ma'at kneels with outstretched wings, extended to shield the queen's cartouche, attached to which is a shen-sign. All three goddesses have their distinctive emblems on their head, and the seated ones each hold a was-sceptre and ankh-sign. Their usual style dresses alternate in colour, red, green and red, giving variety to the scene. Even though the wall becomes less in height at the northern end, the artist has managed to retain bodies of the same comparative size. The texts associated with each deity only provides her identity. Behind Ma'at and separated by a vertical line, is a shortened identity of the deceased: "The king's great wife, Nefertari, beloved of Mut".

If ever there was a god that deserved more credit, it would be the Egyptian Anubis. His association with death was already one strike against him, but his family life caused him even more trouble.

Tomb of Nefertari, eastern annexe west wall A broad yellow band separates the right-hand part of this section of wall from Nefertari. A grouping of a ram-headed mummiform figure standing on a small Ma'at plinth, attended by two goddesses. The figure is wrapped in white with the long red sash. He also wears a broad necklace, which shows beneath the black tripartite wig. The skin of his ram's head is green, as would be that of Osiris. Between the ram's horns is a solar disk, next to which is a small text, identifying (supposedly the solar disk) as "Ra". This god himself is identified by the two columns of text between the goddesses and his mummiform figure, as: "Osiris rests in Ra" (left) and "Ra rests in Osiris" (right). On either side of the deity, and attending to his needs, are Nephthys (on the left) and Isis (on the right). They are only identified by the symbols worn on top of their head. Each of them has a short white wig with a red head-band with long tassels at the back. They each wear a red tight fitting dress, with a long white sash, tied around the waist. Behind Isis is the usual accompanying column of protective emblems. Description of all scenes according to www.osirisnet.net/tombes/pharaons/nefertari/e_nefertari_0...

[Egypt 29750] ’Interior of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel.’ Massive statues of Ramses II adorn the pillared hall of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel. At the end we see the sanctuary of the temple. Of the four seated gods residing there we only discern two from this angle: Amun and the deified Ramses. This temple is the greatest of the seven rock-cut temples which Ramses constructed in Nubia in the 13th century BC. It was not seen by Europeans until the 19th century, when it was discovered by Burckhardt in 1813 and penetrated by Belzoni in 1817. It was moved to higher ground during the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s, to avoid flooding by Lake Nasser. Photo Paul Smit.
