Mentchew-Montu at Karnak

Mentchew (Montu) at Karnak:

Six short inscriptions written in a way to make space for the figure of Mentchew (Montu) and to fit with the text that relates to him. The arrangement in the 1st inscription is read left to right and is oriented horizontally (LRH) we know this by reading into the glyphs as if you are speaking with the figures, and animals etc.  The remaining inscriptions are read from right to left vertically (RLV).
