Hi Chris,

It seems from these PTs that 'Nine Bows' may have a celestial counterpart.

Agreed. There are passages in the PTs, where the deceased seems to be traversing some of the darker places in the dwat, and those talk about Libya. Remeber also the Libyan chief being smited in Pepi II's causeway. And wasn't there a group of hungry Libyans depicted in someone else's causeway as well? The causeway being the route to the place of rebirth.
