THE MISSING HOUSE

Court of Amen 4

 

Square Four, the "Missing" House, is so called since no
records are extent of what was on this square. The vulture and
scratches simply are a hieroglyph added by a later scholar, and
literally mean "bald" or missing square. 

From the Senet games texts, I hazard two possible guesses .. one
possibility might be that Heka (aspect of Ma'at), Sia and Hu are
associated with the square, as they are mentioned specifically, and
quite early, in the description alongside the other Senet squares.

Another guess, which fits well magickally also, is the four sons of
Horus, as the operational table mentioned might be the table they
stand on before throned Osiris.


In "The Splendor that was Egypt," Murray makes a comment that there is an interesting coincidence that the four Sons of Horus (Canopic deities) and the four Living Creatures of the Bible each have a being with the head of a man and a being with the head of a bird.
