The true significance of Hathor in the Egyptian creed and myth. B

Hathor the mother goddess who protects the newly born child for seven successive days until he/she becomes healthy and safe. The myth of the seven protective Hathors is often repeated in almost every birth-chapel and always ends with the seventh-day party where gods all are invited then Hathor would present her rattle-toy to the child. Modern Egyptians had inherited many of these traditions as they still to celebrate the seventh-day birth party and invites all families and neighbors, then the seven grain-seeds should be scattered on floor of the child's house. Also the rattle-toy is presented to the children. Probably the division of the week to be just seven days world wide is after Hathor patronage. The most charming figure for Hathor is the one that represent her melting with a woman face her triangular face, elongated eyes and ears next to a woman cheeks, chin and mouth. .

The true significance of Hathor in the Egyptian creed and myth. A

Hathor the cow-goddess is among the oldest gods in the Egyptian pantheon. Hathor also was one of the most popular goddesses there as she played the role of the holy mother and the wife for many of the ancient triads of deities. Hathor also was the perfect force that "Ra" had required in order to maintain balance between his flaming heat" skhmet" the urging power of the heat and the gentle force of appeasing "Hathor". Indeed the Egyptian myth describes both of the goddesses Hathor and Sekhmet to be the Yen and Yang. Goddess Hathor had to carry" Ra" the sun god out of the "Nun" the water as he sunk into it in order to appease its energy once he established the basic creation. Hathor the Egyptian Yen-force also had signified for the welfare, the prosperity, the wealth, the harmony and the unity. We can observe that powerful meaning in Predynastic and the archaic tablets that describe the unification trials in ancient Egypt and specifically the one belongs to king's Narmer 3200 B.C.
Starting from the Old-kingdom, 2878 B.C Hathor had become to represent the love, the joy and the maternity. Further on, Hathor was seen representing mainly the joy, the fun, the drunkenness and the fertility. The Bible and the Quraan brought us a very similar historical tale about an ancient Egyptian king and Joseph the prophet and it mentions the king in Egypt to suffer form a successive scary visions and he panicked then asked for counseling the dream-interpreters he had and none of them could help then they released Joseph from his prison and had been able to advise the king of Egypt. The king in his dream could see seven lean cows fierce and eat seven fat cows. According to Joseph's interpretation "Egypt should expect seven years of drought and dearth where the Nile would never flood" So the Hathors will be eaten and there will be no prosperity or welfare.

Ramsess The Great adds a lot more of glory to Luxor Temple.
Luxor temple is one of the most charming and impressive temples in all over Egypt generally and in Luxor city specifically. Luxor Temple was founded by the great faithful pharaoh to Amun, king Amunhotep III or Amenophis III and it dates back to the 18th dynasty which is about 1400 B.C. King Amunhotep III established the whole interior of the temple including the holy of the holies, the vestibules ,the open-court and the inner pylon. The temple was dedicated mainly for god Amun-Ra's cult and for celebrating the Opet feasts "the marriage feast" of Amun-Ra. The feast was held and arranged by the clergies of both temples and the royal family. The ram-headed sphinxes avenue, three kilometers long, which is the one connects Luxor temple with the Grand Karnak temple used to be crowded with flag boles, priests and sacrifices. The temple of Luxor was completed and finished by king Ramsess II who created the exterior of the temple and carved on its first pylon his great victory over the Hittites and their allies, that fierce war which started ages ago had brought Egypt a lot more of honour and dignity. The battle of Qadish, in Syria had given Ramsess II the whole prestigious image he aimed at. Luxor Temple was provided with two giant obelisks , gigantic pair of seated statues of king Ramsess II and four of his free-standing statues in order to commemorate his great victory in Qadish and to dignify his father Amun in Luxor temple.

Cairo Museum, the most fascinating collection of ancient fans.

Cairo Museum, the most fascinating collection of ancient fans.

Ancient Egyptians had left behind the oldest fans so ever, and that is due to the hot climate in ancient Egypt. Cairo Museum keeps a large amount of fans that belong to different ages. No doubt having a fan was so essential to most of ancient Egyptians as their tombs were filled with very rich belongings and enough sets of fans. The most ancient fans, generally, had their design inspired from Ra the sun-god, and its rising semi disc as mostly they have semi circular shape. Fan-bearers indeed were so important even they included by almost every funeral scene. King Tutankhamun's collection of fans never fails to astonish all its visitors but the most unique is still to be his swinging fan. The unique swinging fan is made of ivory, ostrich feathers, gold and precious stones. Its ivory handle was brought from a massive elephant tusk, its pure golden spike which controls the swinging is so pure and still to be hard and the well preserved ostrich feathers while been older than 3000 years.
