Round 1: Tossup 15
Description Acceptable. One event in this location begins at the Ur-Nes and is threatened by a figure born from an umbilical cord. Another event in this location involves reading 42 negative confessions listed in a text named for Ani. After that event, some figures are selected to progress to this place’s (*) “Field of Reeds.” While in this place, priests destroy wax models of one figure to help his adversary pass through this place’s twelve gates. After leaving this place, one god manifests as the scarab Khepri. Ammit devours impure hearts weighed against the feather of Ma'at in this location. At night, Ra’s solar barge traverses through, for 10 points, what place ruled by Osiris? ■END■
