Beneath the sands of Hermopolis a well-preserved painting of the little-known old kingdom priestess; Kehtamun, has recently been discovered by Connor's archaeology team. Current knowledge of Kehtamun had previously been scarce, as the only known information simply described her as a servant of the Ogdoad, chaotic gods ruled by the several forms of Kek.
During a lonely night, Connor sits within the temple walls, working on a translation of the wall painting which so far describes a swell episode of Kehtamun's life. Perhaps translating the entire wall will yield some answers as to her expansive powers, as Connor would like to study some new tricks!
After a day and night of work, here is Connor's translation:
They who insult priestess Kehtamun shall summon Kek to fill their bellows and send their breath to all defilers.
A petulant peasant of the city Hermopolis who demands Kehtamun to help him regain lost crop. Kehtamun commands the peasant to be silent for he has insulted the priestess.
Priestess Kehtamun gifts the breath of Kek to the peasant as repayment for his lost crop, and as punishment for his impatience.
Kehtamun teaches the peasant to not speak to her with petulance again for she shall grow him further with the breath of Kek.
Priestess Kehtamun, daughter of pharaoh Heptamun, serves Kek who bless the rulers with their power.
After three months of on-off research, experimenting, and writing hieroglyphs, I have finally finished this massive piece! I mostly made this to try and expand on Connor's character, a magician by day, but with a passion for archaeology by night. Also to experiment with lighting, and learn how to draw ancient Egyptian art.
