The haud- book of the Egyptian Religion seemed cspecially worthy of a wide circulation. It is a survey by the founder of the modern school of Egyptology in Germany, of perhaps tile most interest- ing of all the departments of this subject. The Egyptian religion appeals to some because of its endless variety of form, and the many phases of superstition and belief that it represents ; to others because of its early recognition of a high moral principle, its elaborate conceptions of a life aftcr death, and its connection with the development of Christianity; to others again no doubt because it explains pretty things dear to the collector of antiquities, and familiar objects in museums. Professor Erman is the first to present the Egyptian religion in historical perspective; and it is surely a merit in his worlc that out of his profound knowledge of the Egyptian texts, he permits them to tell their own tale almost in their own words, either by extracts or by summaries.

  • The Pleiades: the Celestial Herd of Ancient Timekeepers
    The Pleiades: the celestial herd of ancient timekeepers. Amelia Sparavigna Dipartimento di Fisica, Politecnico di Torino C.so Duca degli Abruzzi 24, Torino, Italy Abstract In the ancient Egypt seven goddesses, represented by seven cows, composed the celestial herd that provides the nourishment to her worshippers. This herd is observed in the sky as a group of stars, the Pleiades, close to Aldebaran, the main star in the Taurus constellation. For many ancient populations, Pleiades were relevant stars and their rising was marked as a special time of the year. In this paper, we will discuss the presence of these stars in ancient cultures. Moreover, we will report some results of archeoastronomy on the role for timekeeping of these stars, results which show that for hunter-gatherers at Palaeolithic times, they were linked to the seasonal cycles of aurochs. 1. Introduction Archeoastronomy studies astronomical practices and related mythologies of the ancient cultures, to understand how past peoples observed and used the celestial phenomena and what was the role played by the sky in their cultures. This discipline is then a branch of the cultural astronomy, an interdisciplinary field that relates astronomical phenomena to current and ancient cultures. It must then be distinguished from the history of astronomy, because astronomy is a culturally specific concept and ancient peoples may have been related to the sky in different way [1,2]. Archeoastronomy is considered as a quite new interdisciplinary science, rooted in the Stonehenge studies of 1960s by the astronomer Gerald Hawkins, who tested Stonehenge alignments by computer, and concluded that these stones marked key dates in the megalithic calendar [3].

  • The Ties Between Hathor and the Weaver Girl（织女）
    The ties between Hathor and the weaver girl（织女） Bohai,Xu Address: Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou, China Abstract: On the basis of Hathor as a goddess of love, beauty, Queen of wreath weaving, celestial goddess, the mistress of Heaven, goddess of cheerfulness and maternal care; each year, "Hathor travelled south from her temple at Dendera to visit Horus at Edfu”; one particular Egyptian tale - the 'Seven Hathors'. And on the basis of in Egypt, mirrors were another of Hathor’s symbols; Hathor was praised for her beautiful hair; in the Old Kingdom, most priests of Hathor, including the highest ranks, were women and the only known surviving birth brick from ancient Egypt is decorated with an image of a woman holding her child flanked by images of Hathor and so on, so I can get a hypothesis that the weaver girl(织女)is probably Hathor in China. Hathor (Het-Hert, Het-Heru, Hwt-Hert, Hethara), meaning "House of Horus [the Elder]", was a goddess of many things, from the celestial to the alcoholic! She was a celestial goddess, The Mistress of Heaven. A goddess of love, music and beauty as the Goddess of Love, Cheerfulness, Music and Dance. Hathor was known as the Mother of Mothers and the Celestial Nurse who presided over women, fertility, children and childbirth. Yet Hathor was also a goddess of baser things - she was the Vengeful Eye of Ra, the Lady of Drunkenness, and a goddess of the dead as Lady of the West. As Lady of the Southern Sycamore, the sycamore was sacred to her.

  • Ten Egyptian Plagues for Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses the God of Israel Is Greater Than All Other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses
    - Ten Egyptian Plagues For Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses The God of Israel is greater than all other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Moses was a great prophet, called by God with a very important job to do. As an instrument in the Lord's hand he performed many signs, or "wonders", attempting to convince Pharaoh to allow the Israelites freedom from their bondage of slavery to the Egyptians. These "wonders" are more commonly referred to as "plagues" sent from the God of Israel, as a proof that the "one true God" was far greater than all of the multiple Gods of the Egyptians. These Egyptian Plagues were harsh and varied to correspond to the ancient egyptian gods and goddesses that were prevelant during Moses time in Egypt. The number ten is a significant number in biblical numerology. It represents a fullness of quantity. Ten Egyptian Plagues Means Completely Plagued. Just as the "Ten Commandments" become symbolic of the fullness of the moral law of God, the ten ancient plagues of Egypt represent the fullness of God's expression of justice and judgments, upon those who refuse to repent. Ten times God, through Moses, allows Pharaoh to change his mind, repent, and turn to the one true God, each time increasing the severity of the consequence of the plagues suffered for disobedience to His request. Ten times Pharaoh, because of pride, refuses to be taught by the Lord, and receives "judgments" through the plagues, pronounced upon his head from Moses, the deliverer. The Ten Egyptian Plagues testify of Jesus the Anointed One and His power to save.

Abstract: ~Ziostof the old-growth redzuood (Sequoia sempen~irens)in Cal@t*tzia has been cut; reg-enerati~zg forests willpt-obably never resemble those that were haniested, and what old growth remains on priuate land occurs in small, isolated remnant patches. The landscapes in which these stands occur dzyfer so markedly from their original condition that their value as habitat to mauy species of wildlzye, iincluding bats, is un- knoufn.Previozks research in zmnfragmented redwoodforests demonstrated that bats use basal hollows itz old- growth redufoodsas roosts. We sought to determine whether bats use similar old-growth trees as roosts when they occur in small, remnant patches of isolated old growth on commercial forest land. We compared bat oc- currence in remnant and contiguoz~sstands by collecting guano in traps suspended in hollows and by moni- toring flight activity with ultrasonic bat detectors. Hollouls in trees zuithin the remnant stands had signzyi- cantly more guano deposited per tree than the trees within the contiguous forest. me mean rzumbers of bat passesper night were statistically indisti~zguishablebetween the two treatments, aldhozk@ mean Fight uctivity in the remnant stands was greater than in the contiguous forest. Bats frequently used basal hollou~sin small ((5 ha) stands of remnant old growth, u~hichmay be due to the closer proximity of remnants to stream courses, to their greater interface with edge where foraging success may be greater, or to the fact that the lower density of hollow-bearirzg trees in remnants than in contiguous forest favored greater use per tree.

  • Against All the Gods of Egypt”
    “Against All The Gods Of Egypt” “For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.” (Exodus 12:12) © 2015 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Dedication This book is dedicated to Gene Taylor, my good friend and fellow-laborer in the gospel. I met Gene in 1979 at a special class Homer Hailey was teaching at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. He is a man of integrity and is uncompromising in his stand for the truth. Gene has helped me in every public debate I’ve had and was able to accompany me on my first five trips to the lands of the Bible (Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Egypt). While it has been a while since we have travelled together, we still frequently talk about our experiences in those places. “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his fiend” (Proverbs 27:17) Preface This book contains a series of lessons I presented at the Lewis Avenue Church of Christ in Zion, Illinois in the fall of 2015. For over twenty years the brethren in Zion have encouraged me to travel the lands of the Bible and produce printed material to help people understand Bible history and geography. Some preachers desire to work with large congregations where, unfortunately, they usually end up spending a lot of their time in things other than doing “the work of an evangelist.” The brethren in Zion have allowed me to devote my time to studying the Scriptures and preparing material that, thanks to the Internet, is used by Christians throughout the world—and for this I am truly thankful.

  • Egyptian Religion Syll10
    Anthro 176TS Ancient Egyptian Religion Fall 2010 What’s up with this dog headed guy? And what is he doing with that Mummy? How and why did the Egyptians make Mummies anyhow? And what about those Pyramids? How could they possibly have built them and why would they want to? Discover the answers to these questions and explore the mysterious realm of ancient Egyptian Religion, with its massive temples, multitude of gods and goddesses and fascinating funeral rites. Perform actual Egyptian temple and funeral rituals, and a 2500 year old play “The Triumph of Horus”! This course will investigate ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and practices, their origin, and development. The great mythic Solar Cycle of creation and Osirian Cycle of betrayal and revenge, death and rebirth are discussed, as well as the place of the myriad local and minor Gods and Goddesses within Egyptian mythology. The dynamics behind the monotheistic “Revolution” of Pharaoh Akhenaton are investigated, and the connections of Atenism with Moses, Israelite Monotheism and the Bible explored. The interaction of sacred and secular in Egyptian society is considered through the nature of divine kingship, large temple institutions, and funerary foundations. The relationship between the state cults and private worship by noble and commoner is explored, and the nature and potency of ancient Egyptian magic and curses investigated. The nature and development of Egyptian funerary beliefs are also detailed, including the history and significance of pyramids and tombs, mummification, and the process of ‘democratization’ of the afterlife, as individuals gradually took hold of their own destinies after death at the expense of the Pharaohs.

My dissertation focuses on the Romantic period – the midpoint of this trajectory – because it is an extremely intense moment of this influence. In addition to the visions of Egypt presented in the Bible, Greco-Roman writers, and travel narratives, ancient Egypt reached American and British culture of the time through a variety of channels, such as (1) Napoleon‘s invasion of Egypt in 1798, which allowed a stream of Egyptian monuments to travel into Europe and America; (2) the deciphering of the hieroglyphics in 1822; (3) an Egyptian-inspired freemasonry, which wielded a major effect on political revolutions in the USA, France, and Haiti; and (4) revived interest in heterodox Alexandrian traditions such as alchemy, gnosticism, and hermeticism.
