Mummy baboon divinity

In the lower register can be found different deities.

The fourth corridor is decorated with text from the Amduat.

The story tells about the sun god who travels through the underworld, from the time when the sun sets in the west and rises again in the east. The underworld is divided into twelve hours of the night, each representing different allies and enemies for the Pharaoh/sun god to encounter. The Amduat names all of these gods and monsters. In hour 4 he reaches the difficult sandy realm of Sokar, the underworld hawk deity, where he encounters dark zig zag pathways which he has to negotiate, being dragged on a snake-boat. In hour 5 he discovers the tomb of Osiris which is an enclosure beneath which is hidden a lake of fire, the tomb is covered by a pyramid like mound, and on top of which Isis and Nephthys have alighted in the form of two kites.

This is the left side wall, that has the 4th hour. The 5th hour is on the right side wall.
