History

An inscription on a row boat, on the eastern coast by the landing, reads, "This island were fashioned by Polly."

In Egyptian mythology, Duat is the name for the underworld. The island resembles the head of Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god associated with mummification and the afterlife - he is facing towards the north-east.
