fig. 33). The text on the left jamb mentions the king's departure through this door
for the coronation temples Pr-wr (B 1100) and
Pr-nsr (B 1150), which were officially the temples of the royal uraeus goddesses ("Eye of Horus"). On the right jamb, there is another important text, but written in the second person feminine singular. It reads:
m htp sp sn(?) …tn wd3.t wd3/irt R' ts.phr wd3 wd3t/irt Hr ts.pr ("In peace, in peace…Your wholeness is
the wholeness of the Eye of Re, and
vice versa; your wholeness is the wholeness of the Eye of Horus, and
vice versa"). The text obviously is addressed to a woman who accompanies the king as he exits the palace and goes to the coronation temples. She is also obviously making magical transformations and is becoming each and every goddess of the royal and divine uraei, just as they are becoming her. As she enters into B 200 and B 300 she becomes the goddesses Mut, Hathor, Isis, Tefnut, Sekhmet, Bastet, Maat, etc, who are the goddesses of the "Eye of Re" and the uraeus of the crown of Amun-Re. When she enters into B 1100 and B 1150, she becomes the goddesses Nekhbet, Wadjet, and Weret-Hekau, who are the goddesses of the "Eye of Horus" and the king's crown. When she puts the crown(s)
on the head of her son, she becomes the personification of the eternal divine crown, which is the mountain itself. Everywhere the king went, thus, he needed to be accompanied by
one or more of the royal women, who would impersonate one or more of the goddess and perform for him such important ritual roles. W.V. Davies, in his lecture "New Fieldwork at Kurgus: The Pharaonic Inscriptions" at the Ninth International Conference of Nubian Studies in Boston, August 21-26, 1998,
