ABSTRACT
This chapter contains the complete hieroglyphic text of the first division of the book Am-Tuat, which is Called Net-Ra, with translations and reproductions of all the illustrations. This text was produced by the priests of Amen-Ra at Thebes. In the scene that illustrates the FIFTH DIVISION of the Tuat, which is passed through by the Sun-god during the FIFTH HOUR of the night, we see the boat of the sun being drawn along by seven gods and seven goddesses. In front of the seven goddesses march four gods, who appear to be under the guidance of 'Isis of Amentet', and who are described as the great sovereign chiefs who provide food in this Circle'. The text containing the address of the Sun-god to the seven gods is broken away, and all that remains of it reads, 'This great god maketh his journey by means of those who tow him over this Circle in boat'.
