Each chamber was divided, in imitation of the temple, into two halves, the right half belonging to the south, and the left half to the north.

The royal homage, to be complete, must be rendered in the temples of the south and of the north, and to the gods of the south and of the north, and with the products of the south and of the north.

Each sculptured tableau must, therefore, be repeated at least twice in each temple--on a right wall and on a left wall.
Amen, on the right, receives the corn, the wine, the liquids of the south; while on the left he receives the corn, the wine, and the liquids of the north.

As with Amen, so with Maut, Khonsu, Mentu, and many other gods.

Want of space frequently frustrated the due execution of this scheme, and we often meet with a tableau in which the products of north and south together are placed before an Amen who represents both Amen of the south and Amen of the north.
