Akhet



When the djew is seen with a circular symbol between the peaks of the mountains which flank the Nile, the Egyptian hieroglyph represents the concept of "horizon".

The djew is a mountain and the Egyptian hieroglyph for this concept is a symbol with two raised peaks. The valley between the peaks might represent the Nile which flows between the western peak or Manu and the eastern peak which is Bakhu.
