Original Narrative: Sekhet Statues Near the Temple of Mut, Karnak:  The row of stately pylons south of Karnak show us that the king's palace and the city of Thebes proper lay to the south of the great Temple of Amon, for they themselves indicate the route taken by the king when he had occasion to visit the temple in solemn procession. Amenophis took upon himself the task of adorning this highway, and he selected the goddess Mut ’ from the great triad of Karnak, and built a temple to her especially, which had the form of a horse- shoe bent round a tank of the same form . Next to this goddess, the cat-headed or lion -headed Sekhet seems to have enjoyed the highest honours in this sanctuary, which has fallen a prey to time and violence, so that only a few remains are left. Mariette, who had the foundations excavated , has proved that no less than 572 statues of the feline wife of Ptah must have stood in its two fore-courts and along the eastern and western outside walls. These were all of black granite ; and even to this day a number of these grotesque monsters stand among the ruins and rubbish of the ancient sacred tank , and have a most weird appearance, particularly in the moonlight, when they look like a troop of witches or spell -bound queens sitting on their thrones, and they have an ominous aspect of malig nant magic as they stand up above this ruined and deserted scene.   Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
