"
Queen
Tera
was
of
the
Eleventh
,
or
Theban
Dynasty
of
Egyptian
Kings
which
held
sway
between
the
twenty-ninth
and
twenty-fifth
centuries
before
Christ
.
She
succeeded
as
the
only
child
of
her
father
,
Antef
.
She
must
have
been
a
girl
of
extraordinary
character
as
well
as
ability
,
for
she
was
but
a
young
girl
when
her
father
died
.
Her
youth
and
sex
encouraged
the
ambitious
priesthood
,
which
had
then
achieved
immense
power
.
By
their
wealth
and
numbers
and
learning
they
dominated
all
Egypt
,
more
especially
the
Upper
portion
.
They
were
then
secretly
ready
to
make
an
effort
for
the
achievement
of
their
bold
and
long-considered
design
,
that
of
transferring
the
governing
power
from
a
Kingship
to
a
Hierarchy
.
But
King
Antef
had
suspected
some
such
movement
,
and
had
taken
the
precaution
of
securing
to
his
daughter
the
allegiance
of
the
army
.
He
had
also
had
her
taught
statecraft
,
and
had
even
made
her
learned
in
the
lore
of
the
very
priests
themselves
.
792
He
had
used
those
of
one
cult
against
the
other
;
each
being
hopeful
of
some
present
gain
on
its
own
part
by
the
influence
of
the
King
,
or
of
some
ultimate
gain
from
its
own
influence
over
his
daughter
.
Thus
,
the
Princess
had
been
brought
up
amongst
scribes
,
and
was
herself
no
mean
artist
.
Many
of
these
things
were
told
on
the
walls
in
pictures
or
in
hieroglyphic
writing
of
great
beauty
;
and
we
came
to
the
conclusion
that
not
a
few
of
them
had
been
done
by
the
Princess
herself
.
It
was
not
without
cause
that
she
was
inscribed
on
the
Stele
as
'
Protector
of
the
Arts
'
.
793
"
But
the
King
had
gone
to
further
lengths
,
and
had
had
his
daughter
taught
magic
,
by
which
she
had
power
over
Sleep
and
Will
.
This
was
real
magic
--
"
black
"
magic
;
not
the
magic
of
the
temples
,
which
,
I
may
explain
,
was
of
the
harmless
or
"
white
"
order
,
and
was
intended
to
impress
rather
than
to
effect
.
She
had
been
an
apt
pupil
;
and
had
gone
further
than
her
teachers
.
Her
power
and
her
resources
had
given
her
great
opportunities
,
of
which
she
had
availed
herself
to
the
full
.
She
had
won
secrets
from
nature
in
strange
ways
;
and
had
even
gone
to
the
length
of
going
down
into
the
tomb
herself
,
having
been
swathed
and
coffined
and
left
as
dead
for
a
whole
month
.
The
priests
had
tried
to
make
out
that
the
real
Princess
Tera
had
died
in
the
experiment
,
and
that
another
girl
had
been
substituted
;
but
she
had
conclusively
proved
their
error
.
All
this
was
told
in
pictures
of
great
merit
.

It
was
probably
in
her
time
that
the
impulse
was
given
in
the
restoring
the
artistic
greatness
of
the
Fourth
Dynasty
which
had
found
its
perfection
in
the
days
of
Chufu
.
795
"
In
the
Chamber
of
the
sarcophagus
were
pictures
and
writings
to
show
that
she
had
achieved
victory
over
Sleep
.
Indeed
,
there
was
everywhere
a
symbolism
,
wonderful
even
in
a
land
and
an
age
of
symbolism
.
Prominence
was
given
to
the
fact
that
she
,
though
a
Queen
,
claimed
all
the
privileges
of
kingship
and
masculinity
.
In
one
place
she
was
pictured
in
man
's
dress
,
and
wearing
the
White
and
Red
Crowns
.
In
the
following
picture
she
was
in
female
dress
,
but
still
wearing
the
Crowns
of
Upper
and
Lower
Egypt
,
while
the
discarded
male
raiment
lay
at
her
feet
.
In
every
picture
where
hope
,
or
aim
,
of
resurrection
was
expressed
there
was
the
added
symbol
of
the
North
;
and
in
many
places
--
always
in
representations
of
important
events
,
past
,
present
,
or
future
--
was
a
grouping
of
the
stars
of
the
Plough
.
She
evidently
regarded
this
constellation
as
in
some
way
peculiarly
associated
with
herself
.
796
"
Perhaps
the
most
remarkable
statement
in
the
records
,
both
on
the
Stele
and
in
the
mural
writings
,
was
that
Queen
Tera
had
power
to
compel
the
Gods
.
This
,
by
the
way
,
was
not
an
isolated
belief
in
Egyptian
history
;
but
was
different
in
its
cause
.
She
had
engraved
on
a
ruby
,
carved
like
a
scarab
,
and
having
seven
stars
of
seven
points
,
Master
Words
to
compel
all
the
Gods
,
both
of
the
Upper
and
the
Under
Worlds
.
797
"
In
the
statement
it
was
plainly
set
forth
that
the
hatred
of
the
priests
was
,
she
knew
,
stored
up
for
her
,
and
that
they
would
after
her
death
try
to
suppress
her
name
.
This
was
a
terrible
revenge
,
I
may
tell
you
,
in
Egyptian
mythology
;
for
without
a
name
no
one
can
after
death
be
introduced
to
the
Gods
,
or
have
prayers
said
for
him
.
Therefore
,
she
had
intended
her
resurrection
to
be
after
a
long
time
and
in
a
more
northern
land
,
under
the
constellation
whose
seven
stars
had
ruled
her
birth
.
To
this
end
,
her
hand
was
to
be
in
the
air
--
'
unwrapped
'
--
and
in
it
the
Jewel
of
Seven
Stars
,
so
that
wherever
there
was
air
she
might
move
even
as
her
Ka
could
move
!
This
,
after
thinking
it
over
,
Mr.
Trelawny
and
I
agreed
meant
that
her
body
could
become
astral
at
command
,
and
so
move
,
particle
by
particle
,
and
become
whole
again
when
and
where
required
.
Then
there
was
a
piece
of
writing
in
which
allusion
was
made
to
a
chest
or
casket
in
which
were
contained
all
the
Gods
,
and
Will
,
and
Sleep
,
the
two
latter
being
personified
by
symbols
.
The
box
was
mentioned
as
with
seven
sides
.
It
was
not
much
of
a
surprise
to
us
when
,
underneath
the
feet
of
the
mummy
,
we
found
the
seven-sided
casket
,
which
you
have
also
seen
in
Mr.
Trelawny
's
room
.
On
the
underneath
part
of
the
wrapping
--
linen
of
the
left
foot
was
painted
,
in
the
same
vermilion
colour
as
that
used
in
the
Stele
,
the
hieroglyphic
symbol
for
much
water
,
and
underneath
the
right
foot
the
symbol
of
the
earth
.

We
made
out
the
symbolism
to
be
that
her
body
,
immortal
and
transferable
at
will
,
ruled
both
the
land
and
water
,
air
and
fire
--
the
latter
being
exemplified
by
the
light
of
the
Jewel
Stone
,
and
further
by
the
flint
and
iron
which
lay
outside
the
mummy
wrappings
.
799
"
As
we
lifted
the
casket
from
the
sarcophagus
,
we
noticed
on
its
sides
the
strange
protuberances
which
you
have
already
seen
;
but
we
were
unable
at
the
time
to
account
for
them
.
There
were
a
few
amulets
in
the
sarcophagus
,
but
none
of
any
special
worth
or
significance
.
We
took
it
that
if
there
were
such
,
they
were
within
the
wrappings
;
or
more
probably
in
the
strange
casket
underneath
the
mummy
's
feet
.
This
,
however
,
we
could
not
open
.
There
were
signs
of
there
being
a
cover
;
certainly
the
upper
portion
and
the
lower
were
each
in
one
piece
.
The
fine
line
,
a
little
way
from
the
top
,
appeared
to
be
where
the
cover
was
fixed
;
but
it
was
made
with
such
exquisite
fineness
and
finish
that
the
joining
could
hardly
be
seen
.
Certainly
the
top
could
not
be
moved
.
We
took
it
,
that
it
was
in
some
way
fastened
from
within
.
I
tell
you
all
this
in
order
that
you
may
understand
things
with
which
you
may
be
in
contact
later
.
You
must
suspend
your
judgment
entirely
.
Such
strange
things
have
happened
regarding
this
mummy
and
all
around
it
,
that
there
is
a
necessity
for
new
belief
somewhere
.
It
is
absolutely
impossible
to
reconcile
certain
things
which
have
happened
with
the
ordinary
currents
of
life
or
knowledge
.

"
We
stayed
around
the
Valley
of
the
Sorcerer
,
till
we
had
copied
roughly
all
the
drawings
and
writings
on
the
walls
,
ceiling
and
floor
.
We
took
with
us
the
Stele
of
lapis
lazuli
,
whose
graven
record
was
coloured
with
vermilion
pigment
.
We
took
the
sarcophagus
and
the
mummy
;
the
stone
chest
with
the
alabaster
jars
;
the
tables
of
bloodstone
and
alabaster
and
onyx
and
carnelian
;
and
the
ivory
pillow
whose
arch
rested
on
'
buckles
'
,
round
each
of
which
was
twisted
an
uraeus
wrought
in
gold
.
We
took
all
the
articles
which
lay
in
the
Chapel
,
and
the
Mummy
Pit
;
the
wooden
boats
with
crews
and
the
ushaptiu
figures
,
and
the
symbolic
amulets
.
