  • Anatomy of the Soul: Book of the Dead 42
    Anatomy of the Soul: Book of the Dead 42 151 Isle of Fire: Part Seven I am the supreme god, comprising within my total being all the other deities. I am invulnerable in every part of my body. My hair flows in ripples, it is the chaos-waters of Nun; my shining face is risen Ra; my eyes are clear as the day-sky itself, which is Hathor; my acute ears are the jackal god Wepwawet; my nose presides over my face, it is Amun presiding over the city Kasew; my lips are the wide-mouthed jackal god Anubis; my sharp teeth are the scorpion goddess Sereqet; my neck is beautiful Isis; my arms are Knum, lord of the city Djedet, who sculpted the world into being; my throat is Neith from the city of Saïs, warrior wife of Seth, and my spine is Seth himself; my penis is the resurrecting Osiris; my upper body is the entire pantheon honored in the city of Hery-Aha; my chest is the god called “most radiant;” my belly and back are the sinewy lion goddess Sekmet; my buttocks are round and perfect as the eye of Horus; my thighs and calves are Nut, the night sky; my lower legs are Ptah the creator, these sustain the whole cosmos that I am; my fingers and toes are living sacred cobras of royal authority. I have no limb that lacks its deity, but Thoth himself, the god of Writing and Knowledge, is the spell that protects my entire body.

  • CLEAR II Egyptian Mythology and Religion Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. According to Chapter 112 of the ​
    CLEAR II Egyptian Mythology and Religion Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. According to Chapter 112 of the Book of the Dead, two of these deities were charged with ending a storm at the ​ ​ city of Pe, and the next chapter assigns the other two of these deities to the city of Nekhen. The Pyramid Texts describe these gods as bearing Osiris's body to the heavens and, in the Middle Kingdom, the names of these deities were placed on the corner pillars of coffins. Maarten Raven has argued that the association of these gods with the intestines developed later from their original function, as gods of the four quarters of the world. Isis was both their mother and grandmother. For 10 points, consisting of Qebehsenuef, Imsety, Duamutef, and Hapi, the protectors of the organs stored in the canopic jars which bear their heads, these are what group of deities, the progeny of a certain falcon­headed god? ANSWER: Sons of Horus [or Children of Horus; accept logical equivalents] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. According to Plutarch, the pro­Spartan Kimon sent a delegation with a secret mission to this deity, though he died before its completion, prompting the priest to inform his men that Kimon was already with this deity. Pausanias says that Pindar offered a statue of this god carved by Kalamis in Thebes and Pythian IV includes Medea's prediction that "the daughter of Epaphus will one day be planted... amid the foundations" of this god in Libya. Every ten days a cult statue of this god was transported to Medinet Habu in western Thebes, where he had first created the world by fertilizing the world egg.

  • The Ptolemies: an Unloved and Unknown Dynasty. Contributions to a Different Perspective and Approach
    THE PTOLEMIES: AN UNLOVED AND UNKNOWN DYNASTY. CONTRIBUTIONS TO A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND APPROACH JOSÉ DAS CANDEIAS SALES Universidade Aberta. Centro de História (University of Lisbon). Abstract: The fifteen Ptolemies that sat on the throne of Egypt between 305 B.C. (the date of assumption of basileia by Ptolemy I) and 30 B.C. (death of Cleopatra VII) are in most cases little known and, even in its most recognised bibliography, their work has been somewhat overlooked, unappreciated. Although boisterous and sometimes unloved, with the tumultuous and dissolute lives, their unbridled and unrepressed ambitions, the intrigues, the betrayals, the fratricides and the crimes that the members of this dynasty encouraged and practiced, the Ptolemies changed the Egyptian life in some aspects and were responsible for the last Pharaonic monuments which were left us, some of them still considered true masterpieces of Egyptian greatness. The Ptolemaic Period was indeed a paradoxical moment in the History of ancient Egypt, as it was with a genetically foreign dynasty (traditions, language, religion and culture) that the country, with its capital in Alexandria, met a considerable economic prosperity, a significant political and military power and an intense intellectual activity, and finally became part of the world and Mediterranean culture. The fifteen Ptolemies that succeeded to the throne of Egypt between 305 B.C. (date of assumption of basileia by Ptolemy I) and 30 B.C. (death of Cleopatra VII), after Alexander’s death and the division of his empire, are, in most cases, very poorly understood by the public and even in the literature on the topic.

They can be traced throughout Egyptian dynastic history, in textual sources such as spells of healing and protection, offering and dedicatory texts, and private letters, and in cult emplacements and objects from settlement sites. Protective divinities such as Bes, Taweret, and Hathor were favored, along with ancestors who could be deceased kin, local elite, or royalty. State-level deities were also supplicated. Central practices were offering and libation, and conducting rites of protection and healing, while there was also strong recourse to protective imagery.
