  • Ancient Egyptian Religion I: General Concepts and the Heliopolitan Gods
    Ancient Egyptian Religion I: General Concepts and the Heliopolitan Gods Shawn C. Knight Spring 2009 (This document last revised March 18, 2009) 1 The nature of Egyptian religion (intro) The Egyptian idea of \deity" is a difficult one to pin down. The most frequently used word for deity, ' 4 ntr (or nTr), resembles the English word god in that it can be used as either a common noun, referring to one of numerous divine beings, or as a proper noun, referring to the Supreme Being. Much more problematic than the word used, however, are the details of what the gods do and even who they are. Gods become conflated with one another; most notably, there are (at least) two gods named Horus, designated \Elder" and \Younger", and they share a number of traits, often being confused (deliberately or mistakenly). The gods usurp one another's roles, or delegate their roles to others, with astounding frequency. It is Set's role to protect the sun god from the serpent of chaos|except when Horus has that function. The Supreme Being is Re-Atum, except when he is Amun-Re, except when he is simply Re or simply Atum or . Adding still further to the complication is the local character of Egyptian religion. Every nome had a patron god, and while some of the gods patronized more than one nome, there was plenty of variety. We have already considered this to some degree: we have noted Thebes, for example, as having Amun for a patron, and observed that the military rise of the Thebans in the Middle and New Kingdoms were responsible for the enrichment and empowerment of Amun's cult.

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.

  • Ancient Egyptian Dieties
    Ancient Egyptian Dieties Amun: When Amun’s city, Thebes, rose to power in the New Kingdom (1539-1070 B.C.), Amun became known as the “King of the Gods.” He was worshipped as the high god throughout Egypt. Able to take many shapes, Amun was sometimes shown as a ram or goose, but was usually shown in human form. He is fundamentally a Creator God and his name, Amun, means “The Hidden One.” Amun-Re: Originating in the Middle Kingdom, (2055 - 1650 B.C.), Amun-Re is a fusion of the Gods Amun and Re. He combined the invisible power of creation and the power visible in heat and light. Anubis: Usually represented as a black jackal, or as a human with a canine head, Anubis was a guardian of mummies, tombs, and cemeteries, as well as an escort of the deceased to the afterlife. Atum: According to the most ancient Egyptian creation myths, Atum is the creator of the world. He also brought the first gods Shu (air), Tefnut (water), Geb (earth), and Nut (sky) to Egypt. He is also god of the setting sun. Atum was represented in many forms such as a human, a human with the head of a ram, and a combination of an eel and a cobra. Bastet: Originating as early as Dynasty II (2820-2670 B.C.), Bastet was represented as a cat or a woman with a lioness’s head. She eventually became Egypt’s most important “cat goddess.” If Bastet took the form of a cat she was considered content, but if Bastet was a lioness she was considered an angry goddess.

  • Shu, Tefnut, Sekhmet – Shiva, Kali, Durga
    SHU, TEFNUT, SEKHMET – SHIVA, KALI, DURGA Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan The above image is of the Abosom (Akan term for Deities, Ntorou/Ntorotu [Neteru/Netertu]) Shu and Tefnut. Below is an excerpt from a discussion we were having on our forum awhile back. Note that Shu and Tefnut are the origin of Shiva and Shakti. Shu and Tefnut are also called 'Shu-ti' or the 'Two Shu'. Tefnut is called 'Shu.t' Linguistically, the letters 'w', 'v' and 'u' interchange. This interchange can be seen in various languages. This is how Shu became Shv (Shiva). Shu as Shiva was originally worshiped by the Dravidians. The invading aryans had no knowledge of Shiva prior to their invasions. This is why there is no etymological root for Shiva in aryan-sanskrit. This is also why Shiva is not mentioned in the vedas. The Tamil (Dravidian language) root 'shiva' meaning 'reddened' or 'angry' is a reference to the fire of Shu/Shut. 1 "....Shu and Tefnut govern expansion and contraction in the air, in breathing. They can be found in your lungs. They are inside of the fire (shu also means fire in Kamit and in Twi-Akan (hyew). Shu also means feather). Air (represented by the feather) fans the flames of fire. This happens in nature and within your body and spirit. Shu and Tefnut can be found in the expansion and contraction of water as well. Indeed, the expansion and contraction (beating) of the heart would not be possible without Shu and Tefnut. Together They are sometimes called Shu-ti, meaning the Two Shu.

  • Egyptian Creation
    EGYPTIAN CREATION Nu was the name of the dark, swirling chaos before the beginning of time. Out of these waters rose Atum; he created himself using his thoughts and the sheer force of his will. He created a hill, for there was nowhere he could stand. Atum was alone in the world. He was neither male nor female, and he had one all-seeing eye that could roam the universe. He joined with his shadow to produce a son and a daughter. Atum gave birth to his son by spitting him out. He named him Shu and made him god of the air. He vomited up his daughter. Naming her Tefnut and making her the goddess of mist and moisture. Shu and Tefnut were given the task of separating the chaos into principles of law, order and stability. The chaos was divided into light and dark and set into place. This order was called Maat, which formed the principles of life for all time. Maat was a feather; it was light and pure. Shu and Tefnut also produced Geb, the Earth and Nut the Sky. At first these two were tangled together as one. Shu, god of the air, pushed Nut up into the heavens. There she would remain arched out over Geb, her mate. They longed to be together, but in the name of Maat they had to be apart, to fulfil their functions. Nut produced rain for Geb, and Geb made things grow on earth. As the sky, she gave birth to the sun every night before dawn, and by day it would follow its course over the earth and die at sunset.

  • Depictions of the Sky–Goddess Nut in Three Royal Tombs of the New Kingdom and Her Relation to the Milky Way*
    COSMIC SPACE AND ARCHETYPAL TIME: DEPICTIONS OF THE SKY–GODDESS NUT IN THREE ROYAL TOMBS OF THE NEW KINGDOM AND HER RELATION TO THE MILKY WAY* Amanda–Alice Maravelia ABSTRACT Nut was considered the sky–goddess par excellence in ancient Egypt. Unlike other Mediterranean civilizations the sky was conceived as a female divinity by the Nile dwel- lers. She was thought of as an amniotic cocoon inside which the pharaohs would regain life and immortality in the hereafter. Hence, being perceived as a Universal Mother ar- chetype, she would bestow rebirth in the afterlife to the dead kings, who were conside- red her children. In her virtual identification with the sarcophagus, Nut was considered a nursery and nurse, and was depicted inside sarcophagi and anthropoid coffins alike, stretching her body protectively over the corpse of the deceased. Joining with her would mean return to the womb of eternal space–time continuum and passing victoriously through immortality. The mural and ceiling paintings of the sky–goddess Nut in some royal tombs of the NK in the Valley of the Kings are renowned for their chromatic forms (mainly blue for the sky, golden yellow for the stars and red for the solar disc), as well as for their religiously æsthetic conceptions (cosmogony, theogony and their artistic li- turgical expression). In this paper we discuss the relation between cosmic space and ar- chetypal time, as those were viewed under the prism of ancient Egyptian mythological perceptions and were represented by the former depictions of Nut. The tombs of Phara- ohs Ramesses IV, Ramesses VI and Ramesses IX are examined.

  • Support Material Second Level
    Egypt - Focus on religious and moral education Support material Second level Egyptian creation myth Long, long ago, before the beginning of time there was Nu, the name given to the dark, swirling chaos of churning, bubbling water from which all life sprang. Eventually from this chaos there came light, the sun; the creator of life. The Egyptians thought the sun was a god and called him by different names. At midday, when the sun is at the height of its power, it was called Ra, which means great and strong. In the evening, however, when the sun set, it was known as Atum the old man. The sun god, the creator, was alone in the world. He was neither male nor female and had one all-seeing, blazing eye which could roam the universe, observing everything. Lonely, he joined with his shadow to produce a son and a daughter. He gave birth to his son by spitting him out and he named him Shu, god of the air. The Sun then vomited and spewed up his daughter Tefnut and made her goddess of rain, mist and moisture.
