But in public they said nothing,
since the story of this child had gone abroad and folk declared that it
was sent by the gods, and divine, and that the goddesses, Isis, Nepthys,
and Hathor, with Khemu, the Maker of Mankind, were seen in the birth
chamber, glowing like gold.
Also Pharaoh issued a decree that wherever the name of the Queen Ahura
was graven in all the land, to it should be added the title "By the
will of Amen, Mother of his Morning Star," and that a new hall should be
built in the temple of Amen in the Northern Apt, and all about it carved
the story of the coming of Prince Abi and of the vision of the Queen.
But Ahura never lived to see this glorious place, since from the hour of
her daughter's birth she began to sink. On the fourteenth day, the day
of purification, she bade the nurse bring the beautiful babe, and gazed
at it long and blessed it, and spoke with the Ka or Double of the child,
which she said she saw lying on her arm beside it, bidding that Ka
protect it well through the dangers of life and death until the hour of
resurrection.
