TACC - Hymn to Amun

All Netchers are Three: Amun, Re and Ptah. They have no companions. Concealing His name as Amun; He has Re as a face, his Body is Ptah.

Their cities of earth are established for perpetuity: Waset, Yewnew, and the City of the White Wall, for Eternity. A message was sent from the Sky and heard in Yewnew, and repeated in the City of the White Wall by beautiful existence to be set in an official document in Tehuti's writings, concerning the City of Amun, which possesses Their property.

The matter was answered in Waset; a statement was issued: "It shall belong to The Nine, all that came forth from His - Amun's Mouth," and the Netchers were established because of It, according to what was decreed. A message was sent: " It shall slay and give LIfe, and Life and Death come from It for everyone, except Him: Amun plus Re (plus Ptah): Total Three."
