TR4 - Burial Chambers (2)
Lara continues her quest...
04.06 - Vulture
On the wall is a vulture. It represents the goddess Nekhbet. It is an amulet of pharaoh Tutankhamun. In her paws the goddess has some symbols: “shen-rings”, it’s meaning is eternal protection. The cartouche is also a “shen” but with hieroglyphics in it.
04.07 - Coffin
It is a coffin of an ancient Egyptian mummy. It can be found at the British museum (right one). It is Henutmehyt, a Theban priestess from the 19th dynasty (the Ramsesid era)
04.08 - Hawk-god with sun disc
It is the god Ra-Horakhty or a combination of Horus-of-the-horizons (Akhet means horizon, the ‘y’ is plural) and Ra, the sun god.
In later Egyptian mythology, Ra-Horakhty was more of a title or manifestation than a composite deity. It translates as "Ra (who is) Horus of the Horizons". It was intended to link Horakhty (as a sunrise-oriented aspect of Horus) to Ra. It has been suggested that Ra-Horakhty simply refers to the sun's journey from horizon to horizon as Ra, or that it means to show Ra as a symbolic deity of hope and rebirth
I think it is from the Abu Simbel temple in Upper-Egypt near the border of Sudan.
04.09 - Yet another Scarab with wings.
Lara is looking at a scarab with wings. It is the throne name of king Tutankhamun or Neb-Kheperu-Ra. It is one of the many treasures of King Tut.
04.10 - Inside the coffin
Unknown coffin.
