[glyphs] RÂ-HOR-KHUTI "Râ-Horus in the horizon" is the title of the morning-sun, to which attention has already been called on page 30. The last sign is very frequently written [glyphs] KHU·T, the [glyphs] showing the disk of the sun between two mountains and in the act of rising, and the [glyphs] signifying "a house" or "a place". The whole group means "the house of the rising sun" or "the source of light", which is usually translated by the general term "horizon". The whole title, therefore, stands for the rising or eastern sun (cf. the picture on page 28). The inscription between the god and the sphinx-king is partially destroyed, leaving, however, enough traces to show that it must have been identical with the one on the West pyramidion: [glyphs] ER DU·T QEBEH AR·F DU ÂNKH "The king _pours out a libation_ of water _in order to receive from him_ [the god] _life_". {56}THE OBELISK PROPER. On the obelisk proper the inscriptions of Thothmes III. are contained in the central column of each face. At the top of each column, immediately below the pyramidion, we find the sign [glyphs], literally PET "heaven", which may either be taken with the next sign [glyphs] HOR "Horus" so as to signify "the heavenly Horus", or else it may be regarded to express the wish of the Pharaoh, that heaven would protect his obelisk and proclaim its inscriptions as of heavenly origin.
