Punt: I Am Made in the Image of God

The above image is from the Temple of Hatshepsut (Djeser Djeseru, Holy or Sacred of Sacreds). It shows the The Great one of Punt, Perehu (P’ -r ‘ -hw) and his wife, Eti ('ty) as a part of the documentation for the pilgrimage ordered by the Nswt, Hatshepsut.

Her pilgrimage is the most famous of them all, but the idea that we are made in the image of God is the most significant contribution that Nswt Ma’at Ka Ra makes.

“I have made bright the truth which he loved, [I] know that he liveth by it (the truth) ; it is my bread, I eat of its brightness. I am a likeness from [his] limbs, one with him. He hath begotten me, to make strong his might in this land.”

In this inscription for the Temple of Pakhet, Hatshepsut makes clear her stance on her PURPOSE and RELATIONSHIP to God. If we can understand our relationship to GOD, we can better decipher our PURPOSE IN THIS EARTH.
