Name Panels of Senwosret I

I am standing in front of the Name 𓂋𓈖 Panels for the Middle Kingdom Pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 Senwosret I 𓄊𓋴𓂋𓏏𓊃𓈖. These panels were originally part of his pyramid 𓍋𓅓𓂋𓉴 complex and were reconstructed from many pieces that were found during excavations.

Senwosret I’s 𓄊𓋴𓂋𓏏𓊃𓈖 throne name, Kheperkare 𓇳𓆣𓂓, is seen multiple times along with his Horus name “𓋹𓄟” which means “living in births.”

These large panels represent the world 𓇾𓇾 according to Egyptian religious beliefs. The falcon god 𓊹 Horus 𓅃𓀭 is seen at the top of all the panels because the sky 𓊪𓏏𓇯 is the realm of Horus 𓅃𓀭. Beneath the sky 𓊪𓏏𓇯 is the realm of the pharaoh 𓉐𓉻, or the “two lands 𓇿𓇿.” Egypt 𓆎𓅓𓏏𓊖 was always referred to as the two lands 𓇿𓇿 due to the distinction between Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.
