Nisutiu-bity em Tawy
Netjeru-Nefer,** the Rulers of the Two Lands, bearers of the Kingly Ka according to what is in the temple ritual, since the rulership of Ra
**literally translated "good gods," but meaning something closer to "demigods" or "junior gods" in English; the term 'nefer' here means that the kings act in the names of the gods, but are not equal to the gods unless they were deified. Only three Nisutiu-bity are known to have been considered deified: Khufu in the Old Kingdom, and Akhenaten (Amunhotep IV) and Ramses II in the New Kingdom.
