Summary
[edit]Ancient Egyptian carving at Luxor.
Summary
[edit]Image from the temple at Luxor, depicting Amenhotep III applying to his own human wife the legend of Thoth announcing to Neith (the primordial waters) that she would become pregnant with Ra (the king of heaven), the actual impregnation delivered by Kneph and Hathor via the ankh, leaving Neith "ever virgin", the subsequent birth over a birth brick, and the praise raised to the child by her courtiers and the gods. The form of Ra at this point was Ra-Amun, who was becoming identified as Horus. The child, that is consequently described as being Ra/Horus, went on to become Akhenaten.
