fairly well preserved. It is a good example of the
carelessness and ignorance with which some of the
restorations of Rameses II. were made. Several times
the name and titles of Amon have been inserted
without any regard for what came before or after, or
instead of the cartouche of the queen.
The lines recording the words of Amon have
suffered most of all. They begin with a restoration
which covers more space than was allotted in the
original inscription to the name of Amon, whose titles
were much shorter : " Said by Amon Ra, the lord of
the sky, the king of the gods." From a few signs left
we may gather that the following words read thus:
" To the cycle of the gods. Look at the daughter of
Amon, (give her) life and purity, love her, endow her
with ... life in peace ... (I grant) she may be seen by
all the gods of the South and the North who came to
see her, kissing......"
The answer of the gods is better preserved:

" As this thy daughter Hatshepsu is living, we bestow
upon her life and peace, for she is thy daughter of thy
form, the perfect one whom thou hast begotten. Thou
hast given her thy spirit......thy......thy felicity, the
magic power of thy diadem. When she was still in
the womb of her mother, all lands and countries were
in her possession, all that is covered by the sky and
surrounded by the sea. Thou hast granted her the
possession of all this; thou knowest the periods of
time, thou wilt give her the share of life of Horus and
the years of purity of Set...... of lands in peace.
Therefore we will give her all life and jjurity which
belongs to us, all health which belongs to us, all joy
which belongs to us," &c.
Plates LVII. and LVIII.—Here we have the first
inscription that may be called historical, in so far
as it relates something done by the young princess.
Hatshepsu has been introduced to all the gods of
Egypt by her divine father Amon; now she is going
herself to visit those divinities in company with the
king, Thothmes I., her earthly father.
This journey may have had a political purpose.
