Notes
Français : Les déesses à tête de lionne Sekhmet Créées à l'origine pour le temple funéraire du roi Aménophis III à Thèbes (celui des "Colosses de Memnon"), puis déplacées dans celui de la déesse Mout à Karnak, elles furent retrouvées par dizaines. On pense que chacune serait la conjuration du mal pour un jour de l'année, et peut-être aussi la déléguée d'un sanctuaire d'Egypte accourue pour protéger le roi.
