Square 2 - House of Setting up the Djed and Tiyt (Ptah/Osiris & Isis)
The djed (backbone as amulet) was a column, the symbol of
strength and suppport. The hieroglyph also means stability or
endurance. It later became seen as the backbone of Osiris, hence a
symbol of eternal life. In cetain religious cermonies when it was set
upright it signified the rising of the soul to life after having
overcome its enemies and the forces of death and decay.
The Tiyt was a knotted belt that became a symbol of the goddess Isis.
Because this amulet was normally made of red jasper, it specifically
meant the magical blood of Isis, and was believed to protect Osiris
(or the deceased) from harm in the netherworld (BD, 75, 156).
The dead person was instructed to set up the Djed and the Tiyt so that
he or she might sail with the sun god in his celestial ship wherever
he should go. (BD 100).
Originally associated with Ptah, the djed later became seen as the backbone of Osiris, hence a symbol of eternal life. In religious ceremonies when it was set upright it signified the rising of the soul to life after having overcome its enemies and the forces of death and decay.
There is no specific game function for this square in the records.
However, it is duplicated at Square 9 (vacant), which suggests to me
demarcation of a period of time or intermediate number of 6 squares.
Just as Houses 6 and 8 are symmetrical, maybe they designate start
and closure of a festival period, not two separate events.
