Beyond each of these again is the figure of a pair of widespread arms turned upwards from the elbow; this is the determinative of the 'Ka' or 'Double'.

But its relative position is different at top and bottom.

At the head of the sarcophagus the top of the 'Ka' is turned towards the mouth of the vase, but at the foot the extended arms point away from it.
"The symbolisation seems to mean that during the passing of the Sun from West to East--from sunset to sunrise, or through the Under World, otherwise night--the Heart, which is material even in the tomb and cannot leave it, simply revolves, so that it can always rest on 'Ra' the Sun-God, the origin of all good; but that the Double, which represents the active principle, goes whither it will, the same by night as by day.

If this be correct it is a warning--a caution--a reminder that the consciousness of the mummy does not rest but is to be reckoned with.
"Or it may be intended to convey that after the particular night of the resurrection, the 'Ka' would leave the heart altogether, thus typifying that in her resurrection the Queen would be restored to a lower and purely physical existence.

In such case what would become of her memory and the experiences of her wide-wandering soul?
The chiefest value of her resurrection would be lost to the world! This, however, does not alarm me.
