The Temple
Audrey
took a torch from one of the native workmen and held it close
to the inner wall. On it Paul could easily discern a temple building
of grandeur. The sun rose behind it and on its eastern side
stood an entrance. A peculiarity of the inscription was the figure
in the picture. It was a woman rising with the sun, and the temple
was divided one side light and one side dark.
“Where is Ra?” intoned
Paul under his breath.
“Good question,” Audrey
answered him, “It looks like a tribute to one
of your new deities. Take a look at the corners of the building.”
Paul
looked carefully at the hieroglyphics Audrey pointed to. The
symbols for plain, lake, plain, lake were evident at the four sides
of the temple.
