The Sun Temple of King Niussere (Rathoris)


The Sun Temple of King Niussere (Rathoris)
published by Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bissing Professor at the University of Utrecht
Volume II: The Small Festival Description
by Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bissing and Hermann Kees 

Leipzig
J.C. Hinrichs' Bookstore 1923

Original Title: DAS RE-HEILIGTUM DES KÖNIGS NE-WOSER-RE (RATHÜRES) BAND II: DIE KLEINE FESTDARSTELLUNG 

Translated from German by: Stardust Doherty (with assistance from Bernhard Ruchti, Jean Daniel DEGREEF, and Christoph Hemmer). Translation comments appear in {curly brackets}. Translation uses Manuel de codage transliterations. 

Note from Jean Daniel DEGREEF: The order of the rituals is the opposite of that adopted by Kees (the procession marks the beginning of the festival, not its end; the foundation occurs on the last day, see DEGREEF, 2009, on Academia.edu). This can be seen thanks to the great similarities with the New Year Festival on pBrooklyn 47.218.50 and by the numbering of the registers in the scenes at the temple of Soleb. None of these had been published when Kees wrote this book.
