Summary
| Description |
English: Shows hieroglyphic for the horizon guarded by Aker or Ruti, the god in the form of two lions (yesterday and tomorrow) believed to guard the eastern and western horizons as the points where the sun touches the twin-peaked mountain top of the earth where it leaves and re-enters the underworld. Română: Arată hieroglifa pentru orizontul păzit de Aker sau Ruti, zeul sub forma a doi lei (ieri și mâine) care se zice că păzește orizonturile estice și vestice ca punctele în care soarele atinge vârful muntelui cu vârfuri duble al pământului, de unde pleacă și reintră în lumea de dincolo. |
