Resumen de Iconographic motifs of orientation on the columns of the second court at Medinet Habu
The present article describes the "complementary elements" which are depicted above Ramesses III's figure in the scenes that decorate the columns and the osiride pillars of the second court of the Temple Millions of Years at Medinet Habu. Among these "complementary elements" the most relevant are the solar discs with "uraei" wearing the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. We concluded that those solar discs were acting as orientation iconographic motifs whose aim was to lead the king on his route from East to West to meet the gods that came out of the inner shrine to greet him. So, the solar discs position on the walls varies depending on the route Ramesses III followed in his East-West itinerary
