For reasons that I will be keeping personal for the most part, I will be leaving the Kemetic Pagan path and moving to a more Norse-centered one. This means I won't be posting Kemetic-related things anymore. I'm very sorry if that's what you primarily follow me for! But for me it's time to move on to something else.

I will be adding all of my Kemetic tags to this post so you can see things about specific Kemetic deities or topics if you would like to.

Thank you to everyone who has joined me on my journey so far! It's been a pleasure, and I hope you stick around 💕

4,300-Year-Old Tomb of Palace Official Found in Egypt

A gentle wind blew the sand around the base of some pyramids in Egypt. The ancient structures dominated the landscape and likely drew attention away from an intricately decorated tomb nearby.

Not anymore.

Archaeologists were excavating an ancient cemetery at the Dahshūr archaeological site when they unearthed the long-forgotten tomb, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a March 21 Facebook post.

The 4,300-year-old tomb was built of mud bricks and partially buried in the sandy soil, archaeologists said and a photo shows.

The ancient grave was decorated with “wonderful inscriptions and scenes,” according to a news release from Egypt’s State Information Service.

Some inscriptions showed a glimpse of daily life such as people threshing grain, markets, ships sailing along the Nile River and offerings being presented, archaeologists said.

Photos show a few of these colorfully depicted scenes. In one scene, several people appear to herd a group of donkeys. Another shows several people in a procession carrying a bird and other objects, possibly offerings.

Based on the tomb’s inscriptions, archaeologists identified the its owner as a man named Seneb-Neb-Af and his wife, Idet, Egypt’s State Information Service reported. Seneb-Neb-Af was a palace official in charge of the “administration of tenants,” and Idet was the “Priestess of Hathor and Lady of the Sycamore.”

Archaeologists said the tomb dates to around 2300 B.C. or slightly earlier.

The Dahshūr archaeological site is in Dahshūr and about 25 miles south of Cairo. The area is part of the ancient Memphis UNESCO World Heritage Site, according to Britannica, and has five pyramids built between 2575 B.C. and 1756 B.C.

Hymn to the Seven Hathor's - The Sevenfold Hymn

Come, Het-Hert, Shuddering Sky-Storm

The Hawk of the Sky, Embodiment of Heaven.

I burn incense for you - twisting twirling smoke

Sweet fragrance announces your presence

Heady frankincense settles thickly in the air.

And the steady falling raindrops patter softly

on the ground as You listen to my prayer.

Come Het-Hert, from the Land of Silence

She who Nourishes, Mistress of Sycamore.

I seek you in silence, under the cool shade

A sweet shelter from the midday sun.

O, Guide of the dead and the dreaming

Mysterious Lady, who knows two worlds

and travels between waking and sleeping.

Come Het-Hert, She who has Red-Hair

Lady of Malachite, Mistress of Copper

Each moment is a treasure, rich as gold.

Bringer of Joy, the Mistress of Jubilation

Through foreign lands and deep dark mines,

I journey through this world searching for you

You make my heart glad in the darkest of times.

Come Het-Hert, who is from Khemmis,

The Great Wild Cow, Undomesticated One

I shake the sistrum to pacify your heart.

And when you Great Lady, return to Khemmis,

In the papyrus thicket at the Delta’ edge

Wearing horned crown and menat necklace,

You are soothed as you wander in the sedge

Come Het-Hert, Bright Red One

Fiery Eye of Ra, Mistress of Drunkenness

You are a holy intoxication, searing ecstasy

Burning bright with passion you destroy,

All those that would wrong your father, Ra.

Brought back from the South, O, Distant One

You who is needed and sought out from afar.

Come, Het-Hert, the Lady of the Universe

Mistress of Music and Queen of Dance

With starry eyes I watch you spinning

round and round like planets in rotation.

My heart is glad to hear your melody.

I offer you my shaking steps, a dull imitation

of Your Celestial chorography.

Come Het-Hert, your name flourishes in skill,

Creator of beauty, Lady who knows herself

And knows how to be known

You appear in scattered subtle signs,

Moving the puzzle pieces into place

And the sunbeams illuminate a silent song

And in those moments I recognise your face.
