[edit] King Horemheb tomb relief scene

Two side by side vertical cartouches:

Vertical Hieroglyphs (in Cartouches) Tomb of Horemheb Praenomen in hieroglyphs

. . . . .

Nomen in hieroglyphs

A tomb relief scene with Horemheb, from the Valley of the Kings, at Thebes, Egypt.

{The Red Crown of the North, the Delta should be larger(only 60 % full size), and the spacing is off.)

Djeser,KheperU,Re Hor,eM,Heb

(KheperU is the plural)

(Sacred,the Manifestations,(of)Re)

(Probably implying, more than just himself, being the Manifestations.)

and: "Horus of Celebrations"

A tomb relief scene with Horemheb offering a vessel in each hand to Hathor, has the adjacent Praenomen and Nomen in side by side vertical Cartouches.

Because there are two prepostions, eM (one) and eM (two), his name may be more like:

"Horus through Amon's Beloved" and

"Horus of the Celebraton(s)". (Horus being the Hawk (as Pharaoh))

No, praenomen reads: Dsr-xprw-ra stp-n-ra: Holy are the manifestations of Re, Chosen of Re. Nomen reads mr-n-imn Hr-m-hb: Beloved (one) of Amun, Horus in festival/jubilation. There is only one m, and only one n in the nomen. The position of the n (the phonetic value of the red crown) next to the hawk can be accounted for by aesthetic transposition, although I believe that during the 40's there was some suggestion that it was hot Horus in Festival but Hauron in Festival, Hauron being a Syrian-Canaanite god. --Cliau 03:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
