Every object was called the "Eye of Horus," in allusion to its life-giving qualities. The following extracts illustrate the Liturgy of Funerary Offerings: 32. This libation is for thee, Osiris, this libation is for thee, Unas. I have come, I have brought unto thee the Eye of Horus, that thy heart may be refreshed thereby.
"So he prospereth all his chosen." Masanath shook her head and looked away. From the stairway Nan approached. "Unas hath come from Tanis, my Lady," she said with suppressed excitement. Masanath sat up, trembling. "Isis grant he hath not come to take thee to marriage," the waiting woman breathed. Rachel laid an inquiring hand on the little Egyptian's arm. "My father's courier," she explained.
Masanath! That man that Unas attended the noble who halted me on the road to the Nile, that morning; he was the one sent back to Memphis for the document of gift; he pursued me into the hills. He is the servant of the man who follows me!" The Egyptian recoiled as though she had been struck. "Nay, nay," she cried, throwing up her hands as though to ward off the conviction. "Not my father! Not he!
Unas hath eaten the whole of the knowledge of every god, and the period of his life is eternity, and the duration of his existence is everlastingness. He is in the form of one who doeth what he wisheth, and who doth not do what he hateth, and he abideth on the horizon for ever and ever and ever.
Israel had passed this way. The clash and ring of meeting metal fell on his ear. He looked and saw ahead of him two men fighting with a third. Three horses with empty saddles nervously watched the fray. The single combatant was a soldier in the uniform of a common fighting man. One of the pair was a tall Nubian in a striped tunic; the other was an Egyptian, short, fat, purple of countenance Unas!
The color had receded from her cheeks and her figure was rigid. "Who was that man?" she demanded in a voice low with concentrated emotion. "Unas, my father's man. What is amiss, Rachel?" The Israelite stood for a moment as though she permitted the intelligence to assemble all the further facts that it entailed. Then she turned away and walked swiftly toward the well of the stair. "Rachel!
He did not doubt that the old woman had told the truth. He had overslept the light. Unas could not have taken Rachel and Masanath to Tanis together. The Israelite would have been sent on before. There was yet Atsu to question, and then on to Tanis to rescue Rachel or to avenge her. He met no one until he reached a bazaar of jewels near the temple square.
One, whom by his fat figure I took to be Unas, was pursuing the Israelite. I would have returned to help her, but the dreadful night overtook me before I could reach her and as thou knowest, none moved thereafter. "When the darkness lifted, I was off the wharves at On, where my boat had drifted. I halted only long enough to feed, for I was famished, and with all haste I returned to the Marsh.
We "did" the Pyramid of Unas, dilapidated without, secretively beautiful within. We went from tomb to tomb, lingering long in the labyrinthine Mansion of Mereruka who, ruddy and large as life, stepped hospitably down in statue-form from his stela recess, to welcome us in the name of himself and wife.
The little Sverre began his life with an adventure. When he was a few months old a man named Unas came from Norway to the islands, a smith or comb-maker by profession. But Gunhild suspected him of being a spy sent by King Sigurd to kill her son, and she hid the boy in a cavern, which is still called Sverre's Cave.
