Hatshepsuite Temple, the presentation of the Erap-jars


King Thutmoses III presents the Erapp-jars to god Horus.



The offerings in ancient Egypt were various; some were produced from vegetables while others were related to birds or animals or from other different sources. The ancients of Egypt were an alcoholic people, they produced different kinds of wine and beer and due to that they stored many of alcoholic jars in their tombs to save a stuck for the life after death. The early excavators to the step- pyramid at Sakkara "it belongs to king Zoser, the founder of the third dynasty which is around 2878 B.C" were surprised so much of discovering hundred thousand jars and shards are scattered in the shafts, underneath of the step-pyramid. Generally, in the Hieroglyphs, these jars are called the Nu –jars but specifically if contain beer they should be called the Erap-jars. At carvings of offerings found at Hatshepsuite mortuary temple, a scene represents king Thutmoses III, meanwhile presenting the Erap-jars to god Horus. Copyrig © 2006.
