“‘You,’ He said, ‘are My great horses. It is you who rode with me to repulse the nations, and you were under My hand when I was alone with the enemy.

[…] It was a babble, however, of one hundred names of praise in six or seven languages, and all in a rush. ‘O Twice-a-Great-House,’ they cried, ‘You have saved Your Army. There is no King that fights like You.’

[…] ‘I do not remember the names of those who are not beside Me when I am in the midst of the enemy. But here is Meni who is My shield,’ and He put His arm about me, and patted my buttock as if I were a horse.’”– from Chapter X. Of V. The Book of Queens (1972-1982)

“Through his eyes, I saw the broken walls of the temple of Hat-shep-sut at Ittawi. He sighed. ‘Osiris is the only ancient God,’ He said, ‘Who is worshiped everywhere. No priest allows His temples to molder. That is because he had a wise wife who knew the Gods. Isis was the Seat to the Seat-Maker and She made a wise wife.’

[…] He now desired that His old charioteer should begin to instruct His Hittite beauty in the nature of the Egyptian Gods.

      Each time I tried to say that I would not understand what to teach, He would hear no more. ‘You know the Gods as I know Them,’ He said. ‘That is good enough for Me. It is, therefore, good for Her. I do not want a priest who will tell Her so much She thinks She knows more than Me.’ He sighed. ‘You will do this,’ He said, ‘and one day I will surprise you with a gift you do not expect.’” –from Chapter V. of VI. The Book of the Pharaoh (1972-1982)

Émile Amélineau, who brought the First dynasty Stèle du roi-Serpent (3800-1700 B.C.E) from Abydos to the Sully Wing (1896 C.E.); overshadowed, perhaps, by the Palais’s fallen counterweight (20 May) and the third Photo-Club de Paris exhibition (May 12-31th, 1896 C.E.), composed his thesis on the Nubian origins of Osiris and his consort, and the primacy of the horse for frail-legged Horus, the Sun—The translational set conceived by the Eames,
