 | | Set is the god of chaos and individuality as well as of foreign lands. | | | Ra also gets paired with Horus to form Ra-Horakthy or "Ra-Horus-of-the-Two-Horizons" in the Middle Kingdom, a deity with a red sun disk on his head who encompasses yesterday, tomorrow, and everything in between. | | | Ra rides around in a barq (boat) and gets attended by all the lion goddesses, who are usually his daughters or granddaughters (the Eyes of Ra): Sekhmet, Bast, Tefnut, Mut, etc. It appears that almost all single female deities are considered an "Eye of Ra" at some point. |

| | And this temple is "the most" sacred place where we consciously put one foot forward just as the statue Sekhmet is depicted. | | | Hearing of this, the enraged god decided to send the divine Eye. | | | Hathor, the Egyptian sky goddess and daughter of the sun god Ra, was usually represented as a cow. |

| | Wilbour's Legacy |
| | John L. Stephens was perhaps the greatest reporter of archaeological remains of his time, and he appears in the exhibition with his Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea and the Holy Land (1837). | | | Known for his characteristic portrayal of women (the "Gibson Girl"), he also wrote Sketches in Egypt (1899), here opened to a page with an illustration of two young women looking at a statue of the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet at Karnak's temple of Mut (a site currently being excavated by the Brooklyn Museum). | | | An unexpected appearance is made by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. |
