In this
room, some small panels represent the
Hapy god with
offerings
and the signs
of the different nomes of
Lower and Upper Egypt. You can see some details here.
The descriptions of
the scenes of
the temple owe
a lot to the work
of A. R. David on the religious
ritual in Abydos (to see the page biblio).
|
The first room hypostyle includes
two rows of columns. On the columns and the scenes with the Pharaoh Ramesses II,
who made decorate this room are sculpted on the
walls. The lapwing "rekhyt" "king subject" is represented in worship before
the Pharaoh's
name. It is
placed on a basket. At the back, the scene of the royal induction.

The scenes
have been engraved under the reign of Ramesses II with a technique different of the one
of the other
rooms (relief
in hollow). The north and south walls relate
episodes of the royal rise, with two scenes concerning the king's purification.

As you can see it on the big picture of the top, the room is illuminated
by some openings and rails of
lighting producing on a part of the picture a yellow dominant that it is very difficult to
alter.
