UNESCO World Heritage, Thebes in Egypt, Deir el Medineh, tomb of Irynefer. The Benou, on a solar bark with papyrus umbels. The benou was a mythical bird which always came back to life. It could have been the inspiration of the Greeks for their phoenix myth. A Shemes sign is also on the bark. It represents the followers of Horus, those the Dead wants to join.
