See David's: A Guide to Religious Ritual At Abydos p. 39.

Upper right, Horus presents the two urai staffs to the King. See [www.hallofmaat.com] for discussion of the staffs but from a different scene.

See:
[www.hallofmaat.com]
for KGG's notes on this scene.


on page 36 is the translation as KGG noted. But there is something more of interest here.

"Thou siezest my office, my throne and my seat upon earth since I appeared on the seat of my father. I give it to thee to rule the Two Lands 19 like a well-doing son like unto thee." This is ft noted as number '19'. On page 176 of the notes under number 19 we find:

"These phrases appear in cryptographic writing."

Why would this scene, where the god Horus is handing to the King two urai staffs of Upper and Lower Egypt, have some of the text (the text about handing over the two urai staffs) written in cryptographic hieroglyphs?
