After some effort he aroused a crew of oarsmen, procured a boat, and continued at once to Thebes. Khu-aten Tel-el-Amarna. At sunset on the day after the festivities at the Lady Senci's, Hotep deserted his palace duties and came to the house of Mentu.
After leaving Khu-aten, the Nile wound through wild country, the hills approaching its course so closely as to suggest the confines of a gorge. The narrow strip of level land on the eastern side lay under a receding shadow cast by the hills, but the river and the western shore were in the broad brilliance of the moon.
Hunters not infrequently went inland at this point for large game, and although the place was in a state of partial demolishment, Kenkenes hoped that there might be an inn. He tied his boat to a stake and entered Khu-aten, the destroyed capital of Amenophis IV, self-styled Khu-n-Aten.
The night promised to be one of exceeding brightness and Kenkenes shared the resulting wakefulness of the wild life on land. The half of his up-journey was done and the conflict of hope and doubt marshaled feasible argument for and against the success of his mission. In some manner the destruction of Khu-aten offered, in its example of Egypt's fury against progress, a parallel to his own straits.
