Gods and Goddesses Gods and Goddesses are one of the many things in the Egyptian culture and religion and sadly one of the less studied subjects in ancient Egyptian culture. The primary topics for this presentation are the Gods, The Goddesses and why they were important in Egyptian religion, culture and belief. The Gods and Goddesses have been in Egyptian culture since sometime in prehistory. They have many abilities from The Sun to Death and The Underworld. All of them are quite unique and some…

Life was extremely different at the time of ancient Egypt. The culture and religion was very more symbolic as well as artistic. The representation and reflection of the gods and goddess were precious and very detailed to help the viewers to understand the creation of life. The Egyptians believed in the existence of gods and goddess, who have their own symbolic representations which developed beliefs in different things. One of the most important deity at the time was the sun god Ra, this god was…

This is about the God of Sun. The Gods name is “Ra”. He is one of the Ancient Egyptians most important God. His appearance is a man with a hawk head and head dress with a sun disk. The Egyptians believed that Ra was swallowed by the sky Goddess Nut and reborn every morning. They also believed that at night he traveled through the under world. When he was in the under world he appeared as a man with the head of a ram. Ra was often considered to be the King of Gods and one of the central…

The Nubian civilization, modern day Sudan, is arguably the most ancient civilization in Africa, with initial settlements in the territory dated as far back as 8200 BC. The innovations and technological improvements pioneered by the Nubian culture, over time, would spread throughout the continent (most notably into Egypt). Among these advances were the establishment of efficient food production, dogma that would lay the foundations for Egyptian concepts of the afterlife and the birth of material…

My myth analysis focuses on a mythological story derived from the ancient Egyptian culture, it is the story of Re. Re was a major god in ancient Egyptian mythology who was made synonymous with the midday sun, he was considered the creator of all things on earth and also other gods who are considered lesser than him such as Isis, Osiris, Etc. The story that I have chosen to analyze about he starts with his creation which was spontaneously out of the darkness came a shining egg and from the egg…

With a reassuring click, Nick locked his office door and strode silently down the darkened hall. After spending most of the day studying the golden Tablet of Sekhmet in his office, his shift at the history museum was over, and he was ready to head home. The tablet, discovered two years ago in the tomb of an ancient Egyptian king, was surrounded by myth and lore. Inscribed on it were prayers and spells to promote a safe passage to the afterlife, along with a warning: “Thieves beware, for this…

Creation Myths: Humanity’s Story When humans are faced with the unknown, what do they do? They create myths about this mystery. A very popular type of myth created by humans is a creation myth, or a myth about how the world came to be. There are many different creation myths from all around the world; each with different plots. When looked at closely, there are a noticeable amount of similarities between them. One major similarity is humanity; the beginning of it, its fall, and how it is…

cause of illnesses and the result of evil doings or evil spirit. They believed that illnesses and physical and mental sickness were caused by supernatural forces and magic and religion were used to treat ill people. The Egyptian priest-physician Sekhmet had several important duties such as: discovering the nature of the illness and then attacking or destroying that entity. Magic in rituals, spells, incantations, talismans and amulets were commonly used throughout this process. Egyptian healers…

sources of our power as a people. As a priest of bastess I have extensively studied the cat. It is a gentle creature, caring to its litter, benevolent, and fertile. The cat, therefore, by its creation and character, stands out as an evolution from Sekhmet and stands out as a significant religious symbol for our people. It represents fertility, protection, friend, and a symbol of healing. Perhaps, in your own time, you could review some of our religious manuscripts that detail the why the cat has…

As he emerged from between her thighs, and his cord was cut with the pesesh-blade, he wailed with a great cry of “ny!” But the blood that emerged with him – it did not stop. It pooled like the inundation that satiated Sekhmet in the midst of her fury. The healer had used the ivory tusk and had placed the threads of the border of a knotted jaa.t-fabric in my mother and over it recited: “Anubis has come forth to keep the inundation from treading on what is pure – the land…
