Update: WHERE IS SHE? (Answer below - but did you know?)


ANSWER: I discovered this beautifully preserved relief of Seshat, Egyptian goddess of writing, at the rear of a colossal seated statue of Rameses the Great in the Temple of Luxor - partly obscured by a facing temple wall.


Most visitors, including guides, pass by this delightful image, without realising she is there, alongside an equally striking image of Thoth. 

She is just one of the goddesses who weaves her way through my ancient Egyptian series of adventure thrillers.
