Unas

Unas was a Fifth dynasty King....
After he died and was entombed in his pyramid ....
He burst free... with a vengence

The heavens drop water, the stars throb, the archers go round about, the bones of Akeru tremble, and those who are in bondage to them take to flight when they see Unas rise up as a soul, in the form of the God who liveth upon his fathers and who maketh food of his mothers. The serpent guides of Unas are in front of him, and the spirit of the flame looketh upon his soul.

Unas is a bull in heaven, he directeth his steps where he will, he liveth upon the form which each god taketh upon himself, and he eateth the flesh of those who come to fill their bellies with the magical charms in the Lake of Fire. Unas devoureth men and liveth upon the gods. Unas hath eaten their magical powers, and he hath swallowed their spirits; the great ones amoung them serve for his meal at daybreak, the lesser serve for his meal at eventide, and the least amoung them serve for his meal in the night.

The old Gods and the old Goddesses become fuel for his furnace. The mighty ones in heaven shoot out fire under the caldrons which are heaped up with the haunches of the firstborn; and he that maketh those who live in heaven to revolve round Unas hath shot into the caldrons the haunches of their women. Unas is the great form, whatever he hath found upon his path he hath eathen forthwith, and the magical might of Unas is before that of all the sahu who swell in the horizon. The food of Unas is the inward parts, and his meat is those who live upon magical charms in their hearts. The seat of the heart of Unas is amoung those who live upon this earth for ever and ever and ever.
