So many forms

The litany of Ra continues in the second corridor of the tomb, and in niches at the top of the walls, are depicted the seventy-four manifestations of the sun god. This is from the right side wall.

From the "turning point" (left to right) of the niche the manifestation names of the sun god are: 21 - The Brilliant One, 22 - The Hidden One, 23 - The Jubilating One, 24 - He Whose ways are correct, 25 - The Lightning One, 26 - The Shining Horn, 27 - He of the Exalted Forms, 28 - The Distant Ba, 29 - The High Ba, 30 - He of the Two Children, 31 - The Blazing One in the Earth, 32 - He of the Caldron and 33 - The Watchers.

The first part of the tomb was the work of Setnakht.
