Altliough the djed pillar was original!} associ¬ ated with the god sokar, i'tah, the patron deity of Memphis, is sometimes described as ‘the noble Djed'.

In the Book of the Dead it is said to represent his backbone, and certain depictions of the pillar portray it with human arms holding the royal regalia. It was probably at Memphis that kings first performed the ceremony of ‘raising the djed pillar’, the best-known depiction of which is in the Osiris Hall at ABVDOS, although the ritual was also incorporated into one of the .sed eesTtVALS of Amenhotep iii (1390-1352 bc) at Thebes.

However, the Step Pyramid is only the most visible feature of this great burial site, and the tombs of many thousands of individuals are hidden beneath the sands, some excavated, others not. These human burials are only a part of Saqqara’s funerary history. This paper examines the catacombs of the numerous animals revered by the Egyptians at Saqqara and whose burial places have come to be known collectively as ‘The Sacred Animal Necropolis’ (SAN). First amongst these, both in importance and inception, was the Apis bull, the living image (ba) of Ptah, creator god of Memphis. However, it was the work conducted by Professor W.B. Emery (1903–1971) which brought to light the burial place of the Mother of the Apis as well as those for ibises, falcons, and baboons and which has provided much of what we know of the Sacred Animal Necropolis at Nor...

As the conflict unfolded, military service there might be viewed as a kind of 'enforced tourism' wherein soldiers followed tourist routes and took photographs in ways closely related to those of peace-time visitors. The Views of an Antique Land project has collected approximately 2000 such images and is making them available online creating an important resource for our understanding of visitors and their interests in the early twentieth century. In addition, it will be a resource for those whose ancestors served in those areas and provide a record of the ancient monuments as they appeared at a particular point in time.
