FIRST HOUSE OF TENET

Court of Amen 6

 

HOUSE 6 & 8 TENET

We see on this square a hieroglyph that spells the name "tenet" 
followed by a sign meaning festival. Heliopolis/ Anu.

The precise nature of this festival isn't clear. But if we consider 
the Senet board's aspects as a calendar, the sixth square is 
associated with the sixth day of the month (and the eight square, 
Second House of Tenet, has the same sign), then a reasonable 
assumption is that the major festival held in honour of Osiris in 
the city of Heliopolis is probably what is inferred by this square.
