Amduat: the kingdom of Sokar

Amduat. Fifth hour. The land of Sokar, immediately below a mountain of earth, is in the shape of an island in the middle of the river of the Duat, and lies on the bodies of two sphinxes with human heads sticking out at the sides of the oval. Inside the oval is a snake with three snake heads at one end and a human head at the other end. Above it a god with a hawk's head between two wings. Images and texts are executed in cursive script imitating funerary papyri.
