I'm looking forward to your posting, this is exactly the sort of thing I would be looking for in the pictures. Because let's face it, without a coherent context the suggested images are very hard to accept as such.

Well, the Grdeat White was associated with the burial already during the pre-dynastic times. Some of the animals, depending on the placement of the image of course, could be just images of nature or descritions of voyages etc.

As I said, I'm looking forward to read more before commenting more.
