Osiris

Women’s roles in mythology ranged from culture to what type of goddess they are considered. They’re roles are important to the mythology story because women are the very essence of mankind.

It was amazing how a visit in an art museum can make a student be more interested or eagerly to learn more about history through art. My field trip to Museum of Fine Arts Houston was an opportunity to see in real life and discover what we have seen in our slides from class lecture.

If the decision is favorable, your ka will be sent to the heavenly fields of Yaru, where grain grows twelve feet high” (“Egyptian Mythology”). One of the tests that Osiris would give involved weighing a person's heart on a golden scale (Gardiner). On one side of the scale was the deceased’s heart and on the other was the feather of Ma’at, the feather of truth (Mark). If the heart was lighter than the feather, the soul…

Anubis (Anup) and Thoth (Djehuty) are both deities within the ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) pantheon. As such they have similarities but also many stark contrasts, beyond one being canine and the other being avian. I’ve chosen to explore the similarities and differences between the two from a historical, but also modern perspective.

Their religion, geography, traditions, and some ideologies are extremely different, but some parallels can be drawn from their music and dance. Even…
