Ancient Foundations
chapter 3 Ancient Foundations What is it that, when present in a body, makes it living? — A soul. plato, Phaedo (105c) ∵ In the last chapter I noted that material objects have added new insights to the various veins of deep history. These traces delineate earlier views of the body, the mind, art, and how cultures defined the territory. This chapter moves the focus to ancient history. A stimulating place from which to start thinking about the brain — because it was cross-culturally erroneous — is with the conclu- sion that the heart is the seat of perception, intellect, cognition, memory, and emotions. It was regarded as the spirit and soul of an individual. The Chinese, the Indians, the Egyptians, like many Biblical and early Greek thinkers, all elevated the heart over the brain. Phrases like “in my heart I know it’s right” still reflect this way of thinking. Ancient Egypt The Egyptians had no real conception of brain function, or of the primacy of the brain in cognition. Their belief that the brain was of lesser importance is evident in their practices and their art as well. We know, for example, that Egyptian embalmers carefully preserved the heart after death, whereas they typically removed and discarded the brain. Figure 6 vividly contextualizes the importance of the heart. Here we see the scribe Ani and his wife Tutu in the assemblage of gods. Anubis — a jackal headed god — is at the center. The ceremony is the weighing Ani’s heart against the feather of truth, observed by the goddesses Renenutet and Meshkenet, the god Shay, and Ani’s own Ba (the human-headed bird).

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.

Names from Demotic Egyptian Sources
Names from Demotic Egyptian Sources 2nd Edition by Daniel L Lind (Sneferu sa Djedi mewetif Merit) Introduction Registration of ancient Egyptian names is a relatively new thing in the SCA. As of July 2015 names recorded in either demotic script or Coptic became registerable with the SCA College of Arms. The full decision on the subject can be read at the following link: http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2015/07/15-07lar.html#57 This article only attempts to address names and name patterns recorded in demotic script. Names and name patterns recorded in Coptic are found elsewhere. Names and name patterns found in the first edition of this article were taken from the book Oriental Institute Hawara Papyri Demotic and Greek Texts from an Egyptian Family Archive in the Fayum (Fourth to Third Century BC) by George R Hughes and Richard Jasnow with a contribution by James G. Keenan. This second edition adds names from the Catalog of the Demotic Texts in the Brooklyn Museum by George R Hughes. This edition adds two hundred and eighty three additional names for a total of three hundred and seventy five along with sections on unisex names. There are also corrections to several translation errors found in the previous edition. The data on frequency of names has been expanded to include citations in hieroglyphs, hieratic, Greek, Coptic, and Latin. This intended to more accurately show the popularity of the various names in their period context . Data for this change comes from the Trismegistos database. A few names included herein are taken directly from Trismegistos without reference to the aforementioned books.

The Egyptian language refers to the first three categories as, respectively, rmT, Ax or mwt, and nTr, but lacks a proper term for the fourth class. Egyptians nonetheless recognized the existence of these beings, and we are therefore justified in studying them as an ontological category. Instead of defining “demons” as a uniform group, the Egyptians gave specific names and occasionally physical attributes to its individual classes and members. These names and associated iconography do not so much characterize what these demons are as identify what they do. From the perspective of humans, their behavior can be benevolent and malevolent. Two main classes of demons can be recognized: wanderers and guardians. Wandering demons travel between this world and the beyond acting as emissaries for deities or on their own accord.
