O Djehuty, fair of face, sharp of mind, and swift of pen, I pray you to inspire me in word.

Inspire in me creativity in word, both verbal and written, O you of the sacred pen.

Hearer of prayers, mighty in heka, strong in compassion, I ask you to ever watch over me Djehuty.

Wise of spirit, sharp of mind, patron of fairness, I ask you to ever watch over me Djehuty.

Dua Djehuty!

I laugh at calling hadrosarus "duckbills" as a common name when we are surrounded by things with duck bills, they're called ducks. and then I remember that these two completely different groups of birds exist with these names (Ibises and Ibisbills) and I shut up.

BOTD: White-faced Ibis

Photo: Jeff Flinn

"Very similar to the Glossy Ibis, and mostly replaces it west of the Mississippi River, although the two species occur together in parts of the southeast. White-faced Ibises wander through the west during the warmer months, and they may quickly find and take advantage of temporary new habitat after rains or flooding. Even their nesting sites often change from year to year with changes in local water levels."

- Audubon Field Guide

Abdel Aziz and the conservators finished their work on the columns in the Mut Temple’s porches on March 7. This photo and most of the others in this post were taken by Abdel Aziz in the final stages of the work and at the end. If you compare this shot with the next picture (taken some years ago), you’ll see what a difference their work has made. We are incredibly fortunate that they were willing to take on this project. And we are most grateful to Abdel Aziz for taking all the photos for the last few posts.

Just a reminder that this is what the porches looked like before the 2023 season, with fallen column drums lying helter skelter in the East Porch and the collapsed column blocking the view of the rams near the West Porch.

On March 4 Ayman supervised the lifting of what should have been the final column drum in the west column. It turned out not to fit, no matter how they tried, so it had to be taken down and left beside the column.

By March 6, the west column was finished. It looks much better than it did at the start of the season, when it was pretty much a heap of sand. Now at least you can tell it is a column.

This is the West Porch on March 7, with the column restored as much as it could be and the whole area cleaned up.

And here is the East Porch on March 7. While there are still miscellaneous column fragments that can’t be put back in place, the porch is looking much more organized.

A leftover piece of business from our shortened season. While working in the north square in Temple A, we uncovered these three pieces of diorite (not to scale): the back of a throne (left), part of a torso (top) and a hand. On the torso fragment you can just make out the bandeau at the bottom that ran under the breast and part of the broad collar at the top left.

It wasn’t until the season was almost over that we realized the fragments came from the lone Sakhmet statue on the north side of the court – why we didn’t think of this immediately we don’t know. The hand and throne fragment fit easily, but the statue’s torso was too damaged for the breast fragment to be reattached. When they finished with the columns, the Egyptian conservators re-attached the hand and throne back, and left the torso fragment sitting on the statue’s lap.

Almost every evening around sunset we watched huge flocks of ibises fly north. We don’t know where they came from or where they were going, but the flights were beautiful.

We close this last post of our last season with a view of the moon setting over the Nile. We will miss the beauty of this place as well as the people there we have come to know and love.

BOTD: Green Ibis

^Image credit: Charles J. Sharp, Wikipedia

Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis)

The Green Ibis is the only member of the genus Mesembrinibis. It is also called the Cayenne Ibis, coming from the name of where it was first described, Cayenne in French Guiana, and Cayennensis means 'of Cayenne or French Guiana' for the same reason.
