The analysis is focused on the different modes of structuring and interpreting mythology found in the manuals. The first chapter is a critical overview of the different Egyptological theories on Egyptian mythology, with special emphasis on aetiological myth and etymology. Structuralist theories are drawn upon to formulate two approaches to the mythological material found in the manual and utilized by the Egyptians themselves, viz. the paradigmatic and the syntagmatic. The manuals are found to use model mythological narratives or key myths built upon the myths of the Heliopolitan Ennead to structure the wealth of local mythological traditions. This creates a redundant structure in which the mythology of the individual district becomes an echo or actualization of basic mythic patterns. The Delta manual demonstrates the heuristic nature of this system by adding an extra deity to the Ennead in the form of the female Horus.

Her name is mentioned in most of the hunting scenes which were represent on the walls of the tombs throughout the pharaonic period.the owner of the tomb held titles to show his relation to the goddess as “the beloved and companion of Sekhet. Sekhet appears holding a lot of goods especially in the Nile god processions which were very common on the walls of the Greco- Roman temples.She formed a triad with Hapy and the king, as she was mentioned as the mother of the king who begot him and who suckled him.From this research i found how important is the goddess Sekhet through what she held from titles and epithets and her functions so i considered her to be the goddess of inundation which the Egyptian waited for every year to renew their life and bring fertility to the lad.

They reflect the images of the ancient Egyptians about the life of a king after physical death and present a rich source of philological material still in need of urgent study. The correct reading of these monumental texts is necessary for an integral understanding of the funerary cult of a king.

  • In Ancient Egyptian Texts
    The Formula of the “Giving of the Heart” in Ancient Egyptian Texts Teodor Lekov The heart was not only anatomical organ, but also was considered by the ancient Egyptians as seat of human consciousness, intelligence and emotion. The concept of the heart in Ancient Egyptian culture is an object on several studies1, but many problems remain unsolved. The meaning and employment of the formula of “the giving of the heart” is one of them. The formula of the “giving of the heart” is well known as early as the Pyramid Texts (PT). It has been interpreted as evidence for the practice, in which, during the mummification of the body, the heart was taken out of it together with the other internal organs and was replaced by an amulet. So in the process of embalming the new stone heart was given to the corpse. This point of view is widely accepted in the earlier studies. In fact, only after the appearance of Smith's fundamental work on the Egyptian mummies2 in the early 20-ies of the last century, it became clear that the heart was never taken out of the body, mummified separately and put in the canopies. This observation raised the question of the sense of widely employed into religious literature formula “to give somebody’s heart” back to the deceased person. Additional complication for understanding the role of the heart in this and other similar contexts is the fact that there are two different words for heart in Egyptian language3. First, and older ib roots in Semitic stratum of the language and has parallels in the languages as Akkadian and Arabian.
