Directions

Walk through the gateway of the Sixth Pylon to Stop 7, and you will enter an open space whose centre is occupied by a granite roofed shrine. Walk around the shrine anticlockwise to see the extended texts on the walls of the room by your right-hand side. When you find a dead-end, turn around and walk to the other side, so that you will have made the circumference of the shrine.
