Description: Scrapbook page contains one photograph of the bas-reliefs in the Chamber of Amon of the Sacred Barks. The annotation included on this page describes the story presented in bas-reliefs on the walls in the Chamber of Amon of the Sacred Barks. Transcription: " outside world it was itself the image of god. There is really nothing very remarkable in the circumstance for in the worship of other nations also the shrine or processional carriage of the god, which alone is seen by the people stands at last for the god itself. It is however characteristic of Egypt that a boat should play this part in that country. The Egyptian idea of travelling was always by Nile boat, the god would therefore require a Nile boat to go from place to place."
