I am so grateful that the Idea popped into my mind about how to schedule these concerts. The “normal” method of time and space e, growing weaker each year, doing the same things at the same time of day, day of week, was well. slowly draining me.
Now that my life is centered around the Solar Sidereal calendar, the Sirius Sidereal calendar, the Lunar calendar, the Galactic Calendar, plus the Calendar of Neterian Holy Days, Life is really flowing for me more abundantly instead of time and chaos perpetually stopping me.

In this form she was sent out to avenge her father and almost caused the destruction of mankind. closely linked to the principle of Ma’at: when Geb went against Ma’at, Wadjet was not prepared to allow him to go unpunished. She offers protection to all women during childbirth. Wadjet and her sister also protected the adult Horus from the followers of Set. This protection was also extended towards the pharaoh who wore the “Royal Ureas” (serpent) on his (or her) forehead. She was worshiped at the Temple of Wadjet, known as “Pe-Dep” Vulture Goddess Cobra Goddess

The Pauti
According to the creation story of the Heliopolitan priests, the world originally consisted of the primordial waters of precreation personified as Nun.[1] From it arose a mound on the First Occasion.[1] Upon the mound sat the self-begotten god Atum, who was equated with the sun god Ra. Atum evolved from Nun through self-creation. Atum either spat or masturbated, producing air personified as Shu and moisture personified as Tefnut. The siblings Shu and Tefnut mated to produce the earth personified as Geb and the nighttime sky personified as Nut.
Geb and Nut were the parents of Osiris and Isis and of Set and Nephthys, who became respective couples in turn. Osiris and Isis represent fertility and order, while Set and Nephthys represent chaos to balance out Osiris and Isis. Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, is often included in this creation tradition. Due to the duality of Ancient Egyptian myths, this is only one of many creation stories. The Egyptians believed no specific myth was more correct than the other, rather that some combination of these myths was correct. This creation story, the Heliopolitan tradition, is one of physiological creation. The other major creation traditions are the Memphite Tradition and Hermopolitian/Ogdoad.
https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/ennead/ The Ancient Egyptians had many gods, but some were closely connected to each other in groupings known as “Pesedjets” and associated with defined locations. The Pyramid Texts (Old Kingdom) refer to a number of groups of gods, of which the Great Pesdjet is now known to us as “The Ennead”. The Ennead (derived from the Greek word for nine) are the nine ancient Egyptian Gods and Godesses associated with the creation myths of Heliopolis (Iunu) in Lower Egypt.

http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/hathor.htm Description: Hathor is a very ancient goddess, dating to predynastic times. When dynastic rule began, as Horus was associated with the king, Hathor was with the queen. Her name translates to “The House of Horus,” and so she is associated with the royal family. But also, as the entire world could be said to be the House of Horus, Hathor can be seen as the mother-goddess of the whole world, similar to Isis.
Hathor’s cult is unusual, as both men and women were her priests (most deities had clerics of the same gender as they). Many of them were artisans, musicians, and dancers who turned their talents into creating rituals that were nothing short of works of art. Music and dance were part of the worship of Hathor like no other deity in Egypt. Hathor herself was the incarnation of dance, and stories were told of how Hathor danced before Ra when he was in despair to cheer him up.
www.touregypt.com
“The menit is a ceremonial object associated with the goddess Hathor whose priestesses are commonly shown holding the emblem. Queens and ladies of waiting, when officiating as priestesses also wore or carried it. On rare occasions it was also worn by men, particularly by priests of the Hathor cult, and it could also be worn by the god Khonsu. We believe that, like the sistrum, this elaborate necklace may have actually functioned as a kind of percussion instrument in certain religious contests.
Appearing first in representations of the 6thDynasty, the menit is associated with Hathor in all subsequent periods of Egyptian history. Even when it was included with other items of tomb equipment as an amulet in the later dynasties of the New Kingdom, it is still associated with the goddess in her role as a deity of the western necropolis and with her part in the rebirth of the deceased. Hence, it was certainly a symbolic item associated with the goddess Hathor, who bore the epithet, “Great Menit”. Many representations of Hathor in her bovine form show the animal wearing the menit around its neck and the necklace is thus sometimes associated with other divine cows. Not surprisingly, the menit is depicted dozens of times in the reliefs of the Late Period temple of Hathor at Dendera.”
http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/menit.htm
Naos Sistrum
Sistrum Seshesh
“Two forms of this ceremonial instrument may be distinguished, the oldest of which is probably the naos sistrum (ancient Egyptian ss, ssst). While Hathor’s head was often depicted on the handles of sistrum, an early travertine sistrum inscribed with the name of the 6th Dynasty ruler, Teti, takes the form of a papyrus topped by a naos, which is itself surmounted by a falcon and cobra, thus forming a rebus of the name Hathor (i.e. hwt Hor). Thus, the sistrum known as the naos sistrum dates back to at least the Old Kingdom. It was usually surmounted by twin heads of Hathor upon which a small shrine or naos-shaped box was set. A vulture may crown the naos, and the handle may be covered with the incised plumage of the bird. Rods were passed through the sides of this naos to form the rattle. Carved or affixed spirals framing the sides of the naos represented the horns of the cow-eared goddess. Note that this earliest form of sistrum was often made of faience.
In a funerary context, sistrum could sometimes be included in the tomb equipment, but were frequently non-functional, and made of wood, stone or faience.
The symbolic value of the sistrum far exceeded its musical potential. It is thought that the instrument may have originated in the practice of shaking bundles of papyrus flowers (hence the onomatopoeic name sesheshet) with which Hathor was associated. In fact, the papyrus plant appears to be at the base of the mythology surrounding the sistrum. It is from a papyrus thicket that Hathor is seen to emerge, and it is also in a papyrus thicket where Isis raised her infant son, Horus. Hence, though originally mostly associated with Hathor, the sistrum eventually entered the cults of other deities and especially those of Amun and Isis.

Akhu (Akh, Khu, Ikhu) – This was the immortal part, the radiant and shining being that lived on in the Sahu, the intellect, will and intentions of the deceased that transfigured death and ascended to the heavens to live with the gods or the imperishable stars.
While the Khat lies in the tomb, ready to be animated by the Ka, the Ba might be traveling the underworld with Ra. While the Ab is with the gods, the Khaibit might be with the Ba on the barque, or in the tomb eating some offerings. At the same time, the Akhu, Sekhem and Sahu might be contentedly living in the stars, looking down at the earth.
from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_conception_of_the_soul
numerous parts of the soul:
Khet or the “physical body”
Sah or the “spiritual body”
Ren or the “name, identity”
Ba or the “personality”
Ka or the “double”
Ib or the “heart”
Shut or the “shadow”
Sekhem or the “power, form”
Collectively, these spirits of a dead person were called the Akh after that person had successfully completed its transition to the afterlife.[2][a] Egyptologist R. David,[3] at the University of Manchester, explains the many facets of the soul as follows:The Egyptians believed that the human personality had many facets—a concept that was probably developed early in the Old Kingdom. In life, the person was a complete entity, but if he had led a virtuous life, he could also have access to a multiplicity of forms that could be used in the next world. In some instances, these forms could be employed to help those whom the deceased wished to support or, alternately, to take revenge on his enemies.[3]
The Akh is a tricky concept perhaps best understood as the effective spirit of the deceased. When a person died, their Ka left their body. The Opening of the Mouth ritual allowed the Ba to leave the body. The akh was the result of the successful union of the Ba and Ka which occurred if the person’s heart passed the test in the Hall of Judgment. Thus the primary purpose of the funerary texts and rituals was to help the deceased become an akh.
Although the akh was not itself divine, it shared some characteristics with the gods and was immortal. During the Old Kingdom, only kings and gods are identified with the akh, but as time progressed all people could hope to be transfigured as one of the blessed dead. Living people could pray to the akh of their ancestors for help, but the akhu could also inflict punishments on the living if not appeased.
The akh also relates to the effectiveness of a person when they undertook any act considered glorious or righteous. For example, a king building a temple for a god or a man feeding and clothing the poor could both be considered akhut (that which is akh).

Sefech Ba Ra
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sekhmet Sekhmet was the daughter of the sun god, Ra, and was among the more important of the goddesses who acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra’s power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet was said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She was also believed to cause plagues, which were called her servants or messengers, although she was also called upon to ward off disease.
In a myth about the end of Ra’s rule on the earth, Ra sends the goddess Hathor, in the form of Sekhmet, to destroy mortals who conspired against him. In the myth, Sekhmet’s blood-lust was not quenched at the end of battle that led to her destroying almost all of humanity. To stop her Ra poured out beer dyed with red ochre or hematite so that it resembled blood. Mistaking the beer for blood, she became so drunk that she gave up the slaughter and returned peacefully to Ra. The same myth was also described in the prognosis texts of the Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days of papyrus Cairo 86637.
In other versions of this story, Sekhmet grew angered at the deception and left Egypt, diminishing the power of the sun. This threatened the power and security of the world—thus, she was persuaded by the god Thoth to return and restore the sun to its full glory.
During an annual festival held at the beginning of the year, a festival of intoxication, the Egyptians danced and played music to soothe the wildness of the goddess and drank great quantities of wine ritually to imitate the extreme drunkenness that stopped the wrath of the goddess—when she almost destroyed humanity. This may relate to averting excessive flooding during the inundation at the beginning of each year as well, when the Nile ran blood-red with the silt from up-stream.
Wikipedia
Sekhmet was the daughter of Ra, and another incarnation of the goddess Hathor. When Ra decided he was going to destroy mankind, Hathor turned into Sekhmet, a bloodthirsty being who unleashed her rage and violence on humans in return for their indifference and disobedience to the gods. She wrought havoc on the earth, almost destroying all of mankind, drinking the blood of the dead and dying as she went along. Finally, Ra realized that he made a mistake but he could stop Sekhmet. He devised a plan to turn a brew some beer and dye it red, and poured it onto the ground below. Sekhmet thought the beer was blood and drank it all, causing her to become drunk and eventually pass out. When she awoke, she was the kindly Hathor again. This episode is thought to explain the flooding of the Nile each year when it runs red with silt, and Sekhmet swallowing the river back to keep it from destroying Egypt. Many traditions of this story, however, separated the two beings from one another at this point. Hathor went back to Ra, but Sekhmet remained as well, continuing to cause war and fire wherever she can find an opportunity.
Sekhmet was also associated with desert winds, both pleasing and unpleasing, depending upon her moods. She was thought to bring natural disasters as well, and the ancient Egyptians often held festivals with lots of alcohol to keep her inebriated and thus, appeased. Festivals were often held at the end of a battle or war, too, in order to keep the bloodshed from beginning again.
https://www.storyboardthat.com/mythology/sekhmet
“The good god, the lord of action, Neb-Ma’at-Re [Amenhotep III], Beloved of Sekhmet, the Mistress of Dread, who gives life eternally. The son of the God Re of His own body, Amenhotep, ruler of Waset (Thebes), Beloved of Sekhmet, the Mistress of Dread, Who gives life eternally.”
— Inscription on a statue of Sekhmet
https://ancientworlds.net/aw/Post/177082
But in spite of the fact that She is sometimes ‘destructive’, Her qualities as Healer, Mother and Protector are often overlooked. In the realm of Ancient Egyptian Medicine, almost all healers and surgeons of Ancient Kemet would most certainly have fallen under Sekhmet’s jurisdiction. Sekhmet was mentioned a number of times in the spells of The Book of the Dead:
The Chapter of Driving Back
The Slaughters Which are Performed in Hensu My belly and back are the belly and back of Sekhmet. My buttocks are the buttocks of the Eye of Horus.
The Chapter of Giving a Heart to the Osiris
May the goddess Sekhmet raise me, and lift me up. Let me ascend into heaven, let that which I command be performed in Hikuptah. I know how to use my heart. I am master of my heart-case. I am master of my hands and arms. I am master of my legs. I have the power to do that which my KA desireth to do. My Heart-soul shall not be kept a prisoner in my body at the gates of Amentet when I would go in in peace and come forth in peace.

The Sun Boat and the Book of the Dead A hymn to Ra is included in the Papyrus of Ani a Book of the Dead that includes reference to the Matet sun boat and the Sektet sun boat as follows:.
“Hail, thou Disk, thou lord of rays, who risest on the horizon day by day! Shine thou with thy beams of light upon the face of Osiris Ani, who is true of voice; for he singeth hymns of praise unto thee at dawn, and he maketh thee to set at eventide with words of adoration, May the soul of Ani come forth with thee into heaven, may he go forth in the Matet boat, may he come into port in the Sektet boat, and may he cleave his path among the never-resting stars in the heavens.
The Hours: At the entrance of every country of the Duat is a gate; tall are the walls, and narrow is the passage. None may pass by him save those only to whom his name is known. In the evening Ra descends in majesty to the Western horizon of heaven, to the portals of the Duat at the Gap of Abydos. Splendid is the Mesektet Boat, glorious its trappings, and its colours are of amethyst and emerald, jasper and turquoise, lazuli and the lustre of gold. At the Gap of Abydos waits a company of gods to prepare the Boat for the journey through the Duat, the land of night and of thick darkness. Stripped is the Boat of its splendour, bare and without glory is it when it passes through the portals of the Duat, and in it is the body of Ra, lifeless and dead.
“Watercourse of Ra” In the cabin of the Boat is Ra, dead and lifeless
Ur-nes, Ouranos. In this country Ra is Lord and King, and those who live here are in peace, for none can pass the great hooded snakes who guard the gates, whose breath is mingled flame and venom. Happy are those who inhabit this land, for here dwell the spirits of the corn, Besa and Nepra and Tepu-yn. These are they who make the wheat and barley to flourish and cause the fruits of the earth to increase.
Watercourse of the only God: Scale of Maat “the souls of men are not able to participate of the divine nature whilst they are encompassed about with bodies and passions…When they are freed from these impediments and remove into those purer and unseen regions…’tis then that this God becomes their Leader and King; upon him they wholly depend, still beholding without satiety, and still ardently longing after that beauty, which ’tis not possible for man to express or think.”
“Living one of forms” Sokar has dominion in this land. Dreary is the waste of sand, limitless the desert, gloomy and sombre the landscape. Men call this place Re-stau, the Mouth of the Tomb. Even in this gloomy desert Osiris has dominion; Lord of Re-stau is he called, therefore And now the Boat of Ra can no longer float upon the water, but is changed into a great and mighty serpent with glittering scales. At the prow is a serpent’s head with eyes watchful and fierce, at the stern is a serpent’s head with poison-fangs prepared. Over the sand it glides
“Hidden” is the name of the fifth country of the Duat, and in this dark and gloomy region dwells Sokar, its Lord and King, god of those who are buried…
Savage and fierce as a hawk is Sokar, and terrible is the punishment he metes out to those who rebel against him. Hard by his dwelling is a lake where the water boils and bubbles with heat as water boils in a pot. Into the boiling lake are cast the rebels, and they cry to Ra for help, but Ra lies cold and lifeless, waiting for the coming of Khepera, and their cries are unheeded while the Boat passes on its way.
Slowly goes the Boat of Ra, passing through the Duat, through regions of thick darkness, of terror and dismay, to the place where the abominable Apep lies in wait for the coming of Ra.
“Abyss of waters” is the name of the sixth country of the Duat, The river rises out of the sand again, and the Boat floats upon its waters, and those who are in it rejoice, for the hours of the night are passing away.
Here also lives the great coiled serpent with five heads, and within his coils lies Khepera, god of resurrection. On his head he places the scarab, beneath his feet is the sign of flesh; thus does he send Life into the dead, and thus will he re-vivify Ra. For this is the farthest point of the Duat, and beyond the gate lies the way to the sunrise.
“Secret cavern” is the name of the seventh country of the Duat.
Full of danger and peril is it, for the abominable Apep dwells in this land. As a great and monstrous serpent does he appear and with wide-open mouth he swallows the waters of the river, that the Boat may be wrecked and that Ra may perish. Then would the earth belong to the powers of darkness, and evil and wickedness would overcome the gods.
But in the prow of the Boat stands Isis, the great enchantress, whose magic none can withstand; Isis, the greatest of the goddesses, she who can raise the dead, and to whom all mankind pay love and reverence. With arms outstretched, she recites the Words of Power; calling aloud across the dark river. On a sandbank in the midst of the river lies the abominable Apep. hen Selk and Her-desuf leap from the Boat of Ra and bind him with cords, and with sharp knives they pierce his flesh, hoping to destroy him. But Apep is immortal, and every night will he await and attack the Boat of Ra. Yet Selk and Her-desuf hold him fast while the Boat continues on its way, past the great sandbanks, where he writhes and twists and struggles to get free, but the cords are strong and the knives are sharp and his efforts are in vain.
“Sarcophagus of the gods” is the name of the eighth country of the Duat, for here dwell the dead gods. Dead and buried are they, embalmed and bandaged as men embalm and bandage the dead upon earth.
Softly goes the Boat of Ra, passing through the Duat, moving through the darkness to the sunrise and the day. “Procession of images” is the name of the ninth country of the Duat.
From them the dwellers in this land receive the offerings which are made to them upon the earth. Then the star-gods break into singing; and the twelve goddesses and the weaving gods and the dwellers in this land chant the glory and honour of Ra, praising the Lord of the Boat, the Maker of earth and of heaven. With joy and singing they follow the appointed path.
“Abyss of waters, lofty of banks” is the name of the tenth country of the Duat, and the ruler is Ra. By the side of the river are four goddesses; upon the darkness they cast beams of light, making bright the way of Ra upon the gloomy river. Before the Boat of Ra moves the Star of Morning…The greatest of all the countries of the Duat is this, for in this realm of wonder and mystery Khepera joins himself to Ra, and Ra himself is created anew. Yet the dead body of Ra remains in the Boat; but his soul is united to the soul of Khepera.
“Mouth of the cavern” is the name of the eleventh country of the Duat, and Ra is its ruler.
“Darkness has fallen, and births shine forth” is the name of the twelfth country of the Duat. On the prow of the Boat is the great scarab of Khepera, ready to make the transformations of Ra ere he reaches the end of the Duat.

Al Minya has a site with an image of the Blind Harpist, so we absolutely had to go there. Because this is a Musical Initiatic Journey. I had never heard of this place before. My first visit was in 2018, then again in 2020.
. We spent the entire day there both times, visiting many different sites and locations that were completely mind-blowing, everything happened so fast, I simply must return every time I am in Kemet…
Here is an introduction from askaladdin.com
Monuments And Ancient Sites In Al Minya
Al Minya is 246 km away from Cairo and is one of the most important governorates of Upper Egypt because of its unique location midway between northern and southern Egypt. In addition Al Minya has many historical sites and monuments that go back to different eras from the Pharaonic era to modern times.
Al Minya stretches for around 135 kilometers on both banks of the Nile at 18 kilometers wide from the east to the west. The size of the city is approximately 32,000km and its population is around 4 million.
Al Minya was the capital of Egypt in (1373 – 1390) BC when Ikhnaton and his beautiful queen, Nefertiti, lived there in the small village of Tel El Amarna in the Markez of Malawi, which was the center of the worship of the God Aten. This was the first time in Egyptian history when the Egyptians worshiped one god, changing the religion that encouraged worshiping many gods especially the famous god Amun.
The bridge of Upper Egypt had an important role in other stages of the Egyptian history. During the Roman era, it was the center of the worship of the god Thut, the god of wisdom and knowledge…..
Akhenaten: Okht Aten or Tel Al Amarna, the capital of his kingdom.
There is a small museum for Akhenaten, and most of his abode is in ruins. When he changed the culture to One God, he lost the support of most of the Kingdom, and was unable to obtain limestone and other enduring materials for construction. So, he used the Sun and Clay. This is why most of his structures are in ruins….you can still feel the energy however….
Adam my guide told me that Queen Nefertiti and her mother-in-law Queen Tye, did not get along, living together was very unpleasant, An Nefer, and so Queen Nefertiti moved out of the palace, down the street. They eventually got a divorce! It is said that after the divorce, he married KIya and made her his beloved Wife, however, she was never known as the Royal Wife….
Blind Harpist: High Priest of Aten, during reign of Akhenaten; the Tomb of Meryre, Meirire; Al Amarna, New Kingdom.
There are at least 47 sites with a Blind Harpist, which marks another one of the Harpists Songs. “These songs display varying degrees of hope in an afterlife that range from the skeptical through to the more traditional expressions of confidence” (Ancient Egyptian Literature Volume 1: The Old and Middle Kingdom”, Miriam Lichtheim, University of California, 1976, pg. 115, pg. 175-178
Harper’s Songs
The singer Tjeniaa says: How firm you are in your seat of eternity, Your monument of everlastingness! It is filled with offerings of food, It contains every good thing. Your ka is with you, It does not leave you, O Royal Seal-Bearer, Great Steward, Nebankha! Yours is the sweet breath of the northwind! So says his singer who keeps his name alive, The honorable singer Tjeniaa, whom he loved, Who sings to his ka every day
Harper Song from the Tomb of Paatenemheb, the time of Akhenaten
Make holiday, don’t weary of it!! Look, there is no one allowed to take their things with them, and there is no one who goes away comes back again.[1]
In Ancient Egypt the “Harper’s Song” (or Song of the Harper) is a poem which was inscribed in the tomb along with the image of a blind man playing a harp. It is thought that the harpist played and sang the song during the mortuary feats for the deceased.
From Harper’s Song: Tomb of Intef “Hence rejoice in your heart! Forgetfulness profits you, Follow your heart as long as you live! Put myrrh on your head, Dress in fine linen, Anoint yourself with oils fit for a god, Heap up your joys, Let your heart not sink! Follow your heart and your happiness,”
Harper’s Song: Tomb of Inherkhawy ” set your home well in the sacred land that your good name last because of it; Care for your works in the realm under God that your seat in the West be splendid The waters flow north, the wind blows south, and each man goes to his hour. So, seize the day! Hold holiday! Be unwearied, unceasing, alive, you and your own true love; Let not your heart be troubled during your sojourn on earth, but seize the day as it passes! Put incense and sweet oil upon you, garlanded flowers at your breast, While the lady alive in your heart forever delights as she sits beside you. Grieve not your heart, whatever comes; let sweet music play before you; Recall not the evil, loathsome to God, but have joy, joy, joy, and pleasure! O upright man, man just and true, patient and kind, content with your lot, rejoicing, not speaking evil Let your heart be drunk on the gift of Day.”
Basically, the older songs discuss the struggles of living with the knowledge that death comes no matter how wonderful life is. And the newer songs (ie, after the Greek Invasions) discuss enjoying life to the fullest because no one escapes death anyway…
Now that I have started playing the harp, I would like to learn some of these songs, and of course, write a few of my own. When I was there in 2020, a lovely chant came through me as I sat in from of the Blind harpist: Mery Maati Mery Ra. You will hear it in one of the videos below. My experience at the site revealed to me that as the Blind harpist, I must remain Blind to the politics and chaos around me and remain in the stillness, blind to the ignorance and hypocrisy, and remain focused on creating beautiful music and sweet sounds that keep us in tune with the Divine, with Neberdjer, and lead us to Enlightenment.
The first time I visited El Minya, it was the first stop on a whirlwind tour. The second time, we began in Aswan and worked our way towards Cairo. By the time we got to the Blind Harpist ,for the very first time, I recall being in a state of shock/euphoria. I had no real understanding of where we were, or the significance. This is why I am going back every time….We had so much fun going from Temple to Temple. Next time, I will have my bearings, and, I will have a battery pack and extra data cards for all of the photos! AND, they will be labeled with names and locations….and, maybe you will join me?????
2021 Update: I made it back, with battery packs, however, I did not label my photos well, and lost almost half of them! LOL! I am planning another trip once it is safe to travel again.
Click the link above for a detailed description of the site, from ask-aladdin.com. I have included some photos from this site in the video.
Djehuty: Tuna Al Jebel
There were like 2000 roads underground, filled with tombs, mummies, in the catacombs. We saw actual baboon mummies, Ibis mummies. It was like an underground city. There were even street signs! A wonderful song for Djehuty came through while I was in the catacombs, standing near the tomb of a priest from ling ago….
In 2020, I had an amazing time meeting some of the children that were playing outside of these sacred sites. They were fascinated by my presence, and kept asking me my name! lOL! Then they were following our group. I am sorry to say that those were some of the photos and videos that went missing. Perhaps they will remember me when I return….
Funeral Houses: Tomb of Isadora
Isadora was a wealthy and beautiful young woman living in Hermopolis during the time when the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius (AD 138–161) ruled over Ægyptus. She fell in love with a young soldier from Antinopolis (current Sheikh ‘Ibada), and they wanted to get married. However, her father refused, so the young couple decided to elope. Unfortunately, Isadora drowned while crossing the Nile. Her body was mummified, and her father built an elaborate tomb for her, featuring a poem of 10 lines inscribed in Greek elegiac couplets. At some time after her death, a cult developed around her tomb. Isadora’s mummified remains are still present, encased in glass, in her mausoleum—a prominent building at Tuna el-Gebel.
Take a Day Trip!
Al Minya is considered a Day Trip from Cairo. I hope to spend more time at all of these sites again very soon. Because it is not on the usual, well-traveled Tourist Path, it is very different from the other places that I have been. I can still recall the joy at seeing the Blind Harpist for the first time, and the hospitality of the vendors and guards, that were surprised that we traveled so far out of the way to experience the wonders of Al Minya.
Here are video slide shows only visit in 2018, and 2021
When we visited the Akentanyen Temple Ruins, I gathered some sand. When I got home, you won’t believe what I found!!!
