[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [b] Naqa Temple[/b] [IMG]http://www.arthistory-archaeology.umd.edu/courses/ARTH275/FA05/Images/92705images/Nubiantemple.jpg[/IMG] At the lion temple of Naqa, we find Natakamani on the left façade and Amanitore on the right. Under the feet of the ruling pair we find friezes of their defeated enemies. There are a number of Meroitic hieroglyphics on the front of the Naqa Lion Temple. There are three columns of hieroglyphic inscriptions on under the falcon of King Natakamani. Reading from left to right we see the following [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/ahmadchiek/Naga2.GIF[/IMG] Transliteration 1. ter tel i ne 2. …ni-ne b-q r 3. ikh iy kh te b d r te [b] Translation "1….the erection (of this structure) elevates (our) tradition [of building].2…brilliance (is) also desired indeed.3…this spot bring Great light (and) also leave a legacy (of) unity." We can interpret the inscriptions and engraving from this part of the temple as follows: "King Natakamani smites the enemies of Meroe. The royalty "...[has made] the erection (of this structure) to elevate (as is our) tradition.2…Brilliance (is) also indeed desired.3…This spot to bring Great light (to many and) also leave (to the Meroites) a legacy (of) unity."
