From Wikipedia: "The Egyptian name for Thebes was wꜣs.t, "City of the wꜣs", later as njw.t-jmn, the "City of Amun" . This name appears in the Tanakh as the "Nōʼ ʼĀmôn" (נא אמון) in the Book of Nahum and also as "No" (נא) mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel and Jeremiah." /3

Cairo sez: DAY 22: (no space). Raising Ma't in order to see Re, when she is summoned by the gods in the presence of Re. A ureaus was placed upon her, and another below her, being fixed at the front of the mesektet-boat.

Bakir sez dis is a common ceremony of purrsenting a figure of Ma'at to a god./3
