From my diary:Tutankhamun - Living image of Aten


The pharaons cult statues to be at the disposal of the gods.According to the Palermo stone statues were created by royal acts.All statues were animated by the Opening of the Mouth ceremony.The statue then became the potential resting place for the divine ba.The divine ba is creative power could rest in variety of places.It was therefore important that the ba stayed with the dead.Ba the soul of the deceased is a kind of spirit that leaves the body at death and goes wandering as he likes.Ba can stay in the tomb near the body go into the funeary chapel or can wander around to find the favorite walks of the deceased.
