Of Journeying To Annu

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 13).]

THE CHAPTER OF JOURNEYING TO ANNU (HELIOPOLIS) AND OF RECEIVING A THRONE
THEREIN. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“I have come forth from the uttermost parts of the earth, and [I have]
received my apparel(?) at the will(?) of the Ape. I penetrate into the
holy habitations of those who are in [their] shrines (or coffins), I force
my way through the habitations of the god Remren, and I arrive in the
habitations of the god Akhsesef, I travel on through the holy chambers,
and I pass into the Temple of the god Kemken. The Buckle hath been given
unto me, it [hath placed] its hands upon me, it hath decreed [to my
service] its sister Khebent, and its mother Kehkehet. It placeth me in
[the eastern part of heaven wherein Rā riseth and is exalted every day;
and I rise therein and travel onward, and I become a spiritual body
(_sāh_) like the god, and they set me](49) on that holy way on which Thoth
journeyeth when he goeth to make peace between the two Fighting-gods
(_i.e._, Horus and Set). He journeyeth, he journeyeth to the city of Pe,
and he cometh to the city of Tepu.”
