This podcast saw me coming: the first part covers Twenty-First Dynasty papyri and coffins, and the second part brings in the Temple of Hibis!

So! I finally got my 2 hibiscus flowering at the same time... I just wish the flowers lasted longer!

Inside Hibis temple (page 20 of Hibis III). Top, right to left: Onuris-Shu; Tefnut kneels on a pedestal, holding a bow and arrow; Isis of Koptos; Isis of the Thinite nome; Horus Khenty-Khety in the form of a hawk. Bottom, right to left: Horus as a priest; Isis of Khenty-Min, seated on a pedestal; and Horus in the form of a crocodile with wings and two falcon heads.

Because the details are difficult to see (especially the crocodile’s second head) I’ve included the drawing from Hibis III. Tefnut looks epic.

The south reveal of the gateway to the first hypostyle hall of Hibis temple. Darius I, king of Persia and pharaoh of Egypt, offers wine to Osiris, Horus, Isis, and Nephthys.

This scene appears on page 20 of Hibis III. At left, Nephthys (and, out of shot, Isis) are mourning Osiris, who lies on a bier; the hieroglyphs above him are a hymn. In the centre, the Apis bull bears a mummy on his back. At right, Sokar, in falcon form, perches atop his barque.

These figures from the sanctuary of Hibis temple appear in Plate III of Hibis III. At left is a priest. The central figure is labelled “Anubis, lord of Sepa”, and is sitting on a shrine supported by Bes. At right, Isis.
