Editing Memphis, Egypt (section)

====Temple of Sekhmet====
A temple dedicated to the goddess [[Sekhmet]], consort of Ptah, has not yet been found, but is currently certified by Egyptian sources. Archaeologists are still searching for remains. It may be located within the precinct of the Hout-ka-Ptah, as would seem to suggest several discoveries made among the ruins of the complex in the late nineteenth century, including a block of stone evoking the "great door" with the epithet of the goddess,<ref>Brugsch, ''Collection of Egyptian monuments'', p. 6 and plate IV, 1.</ref> and a column bearing an inscription on behalf of Ramesses II declaring him "beloved of Sekhmet".<ref>Brugsch, ''Collection of Egyptian monuments'', p. 8 and plate IV, 5.</ref> It has also been demonstrated through the [[Papyrus Harris I|Great Harris Papyrus]], which states that a statue of the goddess was made alongside those of Ptah and their son, the god [[Nefertem]], during the reign of [[Rameses III|Ramesses III]], and that it was commissioned for the deities of Memphis at the heart of the great temple.<ref>Breasted, ''Ancient Records of Egypt'', § 320 p. 166</ref><ref>Grandet, ''Le papyrus Harris I'', § 47,6 p. 287.</ref>
