Welcome to the Past.
There were three upon one in this lush expansion. We swam downstream to find the lost souls of the 7 before us. Eventually we find the docks. Here we see the blank looks in their eyes, the salt in their wounds. Eventually time passes, Seasons change, things die. The voyage is over, the island is gone for the few. Alive for the rest. Amazing visions pass through the eyes. The reeds grew while the miles aged. We find those that work to be not compound with grief but content with life. Discoveries surround as the religions change to the glow of the Attum. Those who defy will be placed upon the pylons. They bleed with anst and horror until there are none left. The old priests are too frightened of her. For the king is dead and now only she remains to bleed the sands dry.
A Hymn of Praise to Heru-khuti Harmachis
He who springeth up joyfully in the horizon in his name of 'Shu who is in the Disk,' and who liveth for ever and for ever, Attum the Living One, the Great One, he who is {celebrated} in the thirty year festival, the lord of the orbit of the sun, the lord of the sun, the lord of the heaven, the lord of the earth, the lord of the House of Attum in the city of Khut-Attum, by the king of the South and of the North, who liveth by Maat, the Lord of the Two Lands, {Nefer-kheperu-Ra-ua-en-Ra}, the son of the Sun, who liveth by Maat, the lord of crowns, {Khu-en-Attum}, who is great in the duration of his life, and by his great royal wife, his darling, the Lady of the Two Lands, {Nefert-iti-Nefer-neferu-Attum}, the living one , the strong one for ever. The hymn proper begins with the words, He {i.e.,, the king}saith, Thy rising is beautiful in the horizon of heaven, O thou Attum, who hadst thine existence in primevel time. When thou risest in the eastern horizon thou fillest every land with thy beauties, thou art beautiful to see, and great, and like crystal, and art high above the earth. Thy beams of light embrace the lands, even every land which thou hast made. Thou art as Ra, and thou bringest {thyself} unto each of them, and thou bindest them with thy love. Thou art remote, but thy beams are upon the earth. When thou settest in the western horizon the earth is in darkness, and is like a being that is dead. They lie down and sleep in their habitations, their heads are covered up, and their nostrils are stopped, and no man can see his neighbour, and all gods and possessions may be carried away from under their heads without their knowing it.
Every lion cometh forth from his den, and serpents of every kind bite; the night becometh blacker and blacker, and thee art his solent because he who hath made them hath sunk to rest in his horixon. When thou riseth in the horizon the earth lightens, and when thy beams shine forth it is day. Darkness taketh to flight as soon as thy light bursteth out, and the Two Lands keep festival daily. Then {men} wake up and stand upon their feet because thou hast raised them up, they wash themselves, and they array themselves in their apparel, and they lift up to thee their hands with hymns of praise because thou hast risen. {Over} all the earth they perform their work. All beasts and cattle repose in their pastures, and the trees and the green herb put forth their leaves and flowers. The birds fly out of their nests, and their wings praise thy Ka as they fly forth. The sheep and goats of every kind skip about on their legs, and feathered fowl and the birds of the air also love {because} thou hast risen for them. The boats float down and sail up the river likewise, for thy path is opened when thou risest. The fish in the stream leap towards thy face, and thy beams shine through the waters of the great sea. Thou makest male seed to enter into women, and thou causest the liquid seed to become a human being. Thou makest the man child to live in the body of his mother. Thou makest him to keep silent so that he cry not, and thou art a nurse to him in the womb. Thou givest breath that it may vivify every part of his being. When he goeth forth from the belly, on the day wherein he is born, thou openest his mouth that he may speak, and thou providest him whatsoever is necessary. When the chick is in the egg, and is making a sound within the shell, thou givest it air inside it so that it may keep alive. Thou bringest it to perfection so that it may split the eggshell, and it cometh forth from the egg to proclaim that it is a perfect chick, and as soon as it hath come forth there from it runneth about on its feet. How many are the things which thou hast created! There were.............. in the face of the One God, and his ........... had rest.
