“Nothing is official until Seshat writes it.”
A Lapis immortal of The Duat
3 known connections · an open question
She Who Is Scribe — the record-keeper of the gods, leopard skin over her dress, seven-pointed star on her brow. She stretches the measuring cord at every temple's founding and writes the king's years on the palm rib of eternity. Nothing is official until Seshat writes it.
She is stretching the cord for a new temple foundation tonight, star on her brow, while the king waits for her mark before the first stone is laid.
She will write down everything that happens. That is the promise and the threat of her.
“Seshat's own copy has a smudge between the twenty-first name and the twenty-second — and the junior scribe cleaned it three times, and three times it came back by morning, same shape, same place. She has stopped having it cleaned. She just turns the page a little faster now.”
The record-keeper cannot keep this page clean.
The night journey and the weighing: Ra’s barque through twelve gates, the forty-two judges, the scales, and the things that wait beside them.
