t that moment, and the King raised him to be the
royal son of Kush.

Now after the days had multiplied after these things, his Majesty made him
heir of all the land. And many days after that, when he had fulfilled many
years as heir, his Majesty flew up to heaven. And the heir said, "Let my
great nobles of his Majesty be brought before me, that I may make them to
know all that has happened to me." And they brought also before him his
wife, and he judged with her before him, and they agreed with him. They
brought to him his elder brother; he made him hereditary prince in all his
land. He was thirty years King of Egypt, and he died, and his elder
brother stood in his place on the day of burial.

Setna And The Magic Book

The mighty King User.maat.ra (Rameses the Great) had a son named Setna
Kha.em.uast who was a great scribe, and very learned in all the ancient
writings. And he heard that the magic book of Thoth, by which a man may
enchant heaven and earth, and know the language of all birds and beasts,
was buried in the cemetery of Memphis. And he went to search for it with
his brother An.he.hor.eru; and when they found the tomb of the King's son,
Na.nefer.ka.ptah, son of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Mer.neb.ptah,
Setna opened it and went in.

Now in the tomb was Na.nefer.ka.ptah, and with him was the _ka_ of his
wife Ahura; for though she was buried at Koptos, her _ka_ dwelt at Memphis
with her husband, whom she loved. And Setna saw them seated before their
offerings, and the book lay between them. And Na.nefer.ka.ptah said to
Setna, "Who are you that break into my tomb in this way?" He said, "I am
Setna, son of the great King User.maat.ra, living forever, and I come for
that book which I see between you." And Na.nefer.ka.ptah said, "It cannot
be given to you." Then said Setna, "But I will carry it away by force."

Then Ahura said to Setna, "Do not take this book; for it will bring
trouble on you, as it has upon us. Listen to what we have suffered for
it."

Ahura's Tale

"We were the two children of the King Mer.neb.ptah, and he loved us very

over all th
