Ancient Egypt Symbols-B


Ancient Egypt was the richest with its unique symbols and that is what researchers can come with once looking at the Egyptian carvings. Some of the ancient Egyptian symbols were by nature inspired from the Hieroglyphic characters and some were created to become emblems for gods or kings.
The figure above(F-1) represents one of the two matching sides for king Tutankhamen gold- plated throne which dates back to (1400-1300 B.C) Just one look at that unique carving is more than enough to stun anyone and obviously it represents a winged cobra snake with the double crown on it’s head ! This is exactly what most of visitors to the Egyptian museum can tell! But actually the meaning is further deep and a lot more beyond imagination!? . 

Taking a moment of deep concentration at the same figure leads to uncover another unification symbol for ancient Egypt as you can see below the double crown two heads are integrated with each other. A very obvious head for a cobra snake while facing the left side and another head in the shape of a vulture faces the other direction! Here we can imagine how genius the artist was in order to create such head that can refer to different creatures at once. Now that  symbol which has a hidden significance and almost unnoticed by many , gathers between Lower Egypt patroness the cobra snake Uadjet and the Upper Egyptian patroness the vulture Nekhbet and both have some of their distinctive features represented such as wings ,tale and so on.
