The Temple of Ptah -Sekhmet




Here a second 'Keeper' is summoned from his lofty perch on the North temple boundary wall, who, after holding out his hand for the customary Baksheesh, leads the way into the temple courtyard from the West. Here, he unlocks a large door into the temple itself on the East wall, revealing in the centre a headless statue of Ptah, the 'Keeper' turns and opens a door to his right (South), the room behind is dark. The 'Keeper' bades the Initiate to enter, and as the Initiates eyes become accustomed to the dark, he will make out, at the top (East) of the room, a large, complete statue of Sekhmet.
The only illumination, comes from a small opening in the roof, directly above the statue.
