124. Religion Of Ancient Egypt Introduction to ancient Egyptian Religion including mummification, temples, Gods and Goddesses, and creation myths. http://www.historylink101.net/egypt_1/religion.htm

Religion of Ancient Egypt Religion was very important to the Ancient Egyptians. Their religion was strongly influenced by tradition, which caused them to resist change. "Egyptians did not question the beliefs which had been handed down to them; they did not desire change in their society. Their main aim throughout their history was to emulate the conditions which they believed had existed at the dawn of creation" (Pg. 81, David, 1988). One of the very strong traditions was that of Divine Kingship. Divine Kingship is the belief that the Pharaoh was not only the King (political ruler) but also a god. The Pharaoh was associated with Horus, son of Re the sun god. Later it was believed that at death he became Osiris, or an Osiris, and would help the Egyptians in their afterlife. Due to their beliefs, the Pharaoh held an immense amount of power. In addition, the priests in Ancient Egypt were also very powerful. When things were going well, the people believed the priest and pharaoh were doing their jobs well; when things in the country were not going well, the people believed the pharaoh and the priest were to blame. The religion of Ancient Egypt was a polytheistic (many gods) religion with one short period of monotheism (one god). Their religion hosted about 700 different gods and goddesses. In addition, it was not uncommon for deities to be combined to form a new deity.

127. Detroit Institute Of Arts : Permanent Collection - Ancient Art - Egypt The basic principles of Egyptian sculpture and its symbolism are discussed and illustrated here. http://www.dia.org/collections/ancient/egypt/egypt.html

The works here demonstrate the basic principles of Egyptian sculpture in its symbolic formality. For over three thousand years the Egyptians adhered to a prescribed set of rules as to how a work of art in three dimensions should be presented. Egyptian art was highly symbolic and a painting or sculpture was not meant to be a record of a momentary impression. Apparent differences were the result of subtle changes, not an altered conception of art or its role in society. Of the materials used by the Egyptian sculptor clay, wood, metal, ivory, and stone stone was the most plentiful and permanent, available in a wide variety of colors and hardness. Sculpture was often painted in vivid hues as well. Egyptian sculpture has two qualities that are distinctive; it can be characterized as cubic and frontal. It nearly always echoes in its form the shape of the stone cube or block from which it was fashioned, partly because it was an image conceived from four viewpoints. The front of almost every statue is the most important part and the figure sits or stands facing strictly to the front. This suggests to the modern viewer that the ancient artist was unable to create a naturalistic representation, but it is clear that this was not the intention. Seated Man Seated Scribe Nebwenenef

Mobile/PDAs You are in: Front Page Science and Technology Friday 17 November, 2000 The Stargazers of Ancient Egypt The Great Pyramid of Giza, among the seven wonders of the ancient world, points towards the celestial north pole with a margin of error of only a tiny fraction of one degree. Now Dr. Kate Spence, a British Egyptologist, believes she may have solved two of the great mysteries of archaeology - how the ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramid with such remarkable geographical accuracy and when the vast royal tomb was built. John Duce reports for Science in Action Listen to an extract of the Dr Spence interview here Pointing north The Great Pyramid is a master of precision. Comprised of an estimated 2.5 million limestone blocks, archaeologists have known for over a century that the Great Pyramid was pointed almost exactly north, but nobody has been able to explain how the ancient Egyptians managed to align it with such unprecedented accuracy. The deviation in accuracy is minute as Dr. Spence explains:

Queen of Punt Tomb of Hatshepsut (Art History Resources, Duke University) Voyages of Exploration Henenu The Egyptians undertook major journeys from very early times. The oldest record of a journey to Punt is on the Palermo stone, dated to the 5th dynasty . During the 11th Dynasty, Henenu with three thousand men transported the materials for building ships through Wadi Hammamat to the coast of the Red Sea. I left Koptos on the road set by his majesty. The soldiers I had with me came from the south. All the king's officials, the men from the city and the village, marched behind me. The scouts opened up the road ahead repulsing the king's enemies. All the officials obeyed me. They were in constant touch with the runners... The Red Land they had to cross was desert and the provisioning of such a large army difficult. This was exacerbated by the fact that camels were unavailable until Persian times and donkeys had to be used.

132. The Eye Of Horus Symbol Of Ancient Egyptian Religion The esoteric Eye of Horus religious symbol of ancient Egyptian religion was inspired by the Eye of God and winged sun disk that are manifested during total solar eclipses. http://eyeofhorussymbol.homestead.com

The next total solar eclipse will take place above the South Pacific Ocean on April 8th 2005. It will be a rare hybrid solar eclipse aka total/annular eclipse that, because of the virtually identical apparent sizes of the sun and moon during this solar eclipse and ALL hybrid solar eclipses, combines a brief total solar eclipse in the central portion of the eclipse path with an annular eclipse at the eastern and western extremities of the eclipse path. The annular solar eclipse will be observable from southwestern Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia and Venezuela. http://hybridsolareclipse.homestead.com Please Click Here To Help The Victims Of The December 26, 2004 Earthquake / Tsunami Disaster pyramidion ( i.e. capstone ) hovering over the uncompleted pyramid on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States of America plays a significant role in the new Jerry Bruckheimer film 'National Treasure' Another genuinely great web site that provides a wealth of reliable information about the Great Seal of the United States of America may be found here - http://www.greatseal.com
