A quartet not from the Council's meeting room but from the passageway leading to the mummy's resting chamber in a Pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile near Thebes. I can not read the script but it tells the story of the rulers accomplishments and anticipated afterlife. In the next to the last one the Goddess is balancing his soul against the physical body to determine if he is worthy of joining the Gods.

This area is dessert. Various excavated tombs-many more since 1973 are open periodically for tourist visits, including King Tut's.
