166. Akhet Hwt-Hrw: Temple Of Ancient Egyptian Religion; School Of Esoteric Studies A Temple of ancient egyptian Religion dedicated to the egyptian Goddess HwtHrw (Hathor). The pages listed here give information about the religion and culture of ancient egypt, Akhet as both a temple and school, as well as listing some of the many services offered by Akhet. http://www.hwt-hrw.com

Akhet Hwt-Hrw Temple of Ancient Egyptian Religion School of Esoteric Studies Ancient Egypt . . . For most people these words conjure images of massive temples, pyramids and tombs; with secret rituals invoking the power of Gods from another age. The world's oldest religious writings come from Egypt, yet few people understand this mysterious and powerful system of spirituality. Akhet is a spiritual organization dedicated to following this ancient legacy. By drawing upon the actual practices and teachings of Egypt from the Pagan era, as revealed by temple inscriptions and papyrus texts, Akhet seeks to reawaken these ancient truths in order to achieve a balanced, healthy spiritual life style for today. Akhet Hwt-Hrw is a temple of Ancient Egyptian religion and School of Esoteric studies. With the resurgence of Pagan philosophies and disciplines, we offer a realistic and practical approach to this ancient system of spirituality for today. As a temple we offer a series of training courses that describe Ancient Egyptain religion and magic in detail. These courses are carefully researched and fully documented to ensure their accuracy. Presented in a three tiered system, the courses take the individual from the stage of beginner, with little training in Ancient Egyptian religion and magic to a point in which they can set up their own temple and perform the ancient rites competently with full knowledge of the concepts, symbolism and spiritual teachings involved. The pages listed below give information about the religion and culture of Ancient Egypt; Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, including

HOME Temples and Tombs Pyramids of Giza Thebes Valley of the Kings Egypt PYRAMIDS OF GIZA The mysterious Pyramids The Pyramids of Giza are the most famous monuments of ancient Egypt. These massive stone structures were built around 4500 years ago on a rocky desert plateau close to the Nile. But the intriguing Egyptian pyramids were more than just tombs for kings. The mysteries surrounding their symbolism, design and purpose have inspired passionate debate. It is likely that many of these mysteries will never be solved... The rise and fall of the pyramid era The pyramids epitomize ancient Egypt, yet the biggest were constructed during a short span of time early in a civilization that was to last almost three millennia. The first large Egyptian pyramid was the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, built during the third dynasty of the Old Kingdom to protect the body of the king Djoser who died around 2649 BC. It was this feat that heralded the short age of the gigantic stone pyramids of ancient Egypt. The first large pyramid in Egypt was the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It was built at Saqqara, about 15 kilometers from Giza.

175. EAWC Essay: The Egyptian Culture Reflected In Worship Essay by Deborah Howard at Exploring ancient World Cultures which traces the relationship between egyptian worship rituals and the culture of ancient egypt. http://eawc.evansville.edu/essays/howard.htm

Exploring Ancient World Cultures Essays on Ancient Egypt The Egyptian Culture Reflected in Worship Deborah Howard Much of our knowledge about ancient Egyptian culture is based on elaborate worship rituals related to death and the afterlife. Egyptians were devoted to their gods and to their pharaohs who were gods on earth, as demonstrated by their willingness to build the pyramids for the safe passage of their leaders into the afterlife. Understanding the development of Egyptian society and their theological system requires a basic knowledge of the geography of the area. The Nile River Valley and Nile Delta, circa 4000-5000 BCE, was comprised of about 12,000 square miles of arable land. The villages and towns of ancient Egypt were found up and down the length of the Nile with most of the population living below the First Cataract (located approximately at present day Aswan). The Egyptians were accomplished farmers. They knew the Nile would flood each year and bring new life and abundant grain. The Nile's flooding was predictable and left rich new deposits of silt for new crops, making irrigation easy to plan. A basin irrigation system allowed the flood waters to flow gently into each field, cleansing and renewing the earth each year. The virtual isolation of the Nile Valley allowed Egyptian civilization to develop unthreatened by its neighbors. The Mediterranean Sea lay to the north, vast deserts were found to the east and west, and dense jungle lay to the south. An invader would have to be quite determined to brave the elements that protected the Nile Valley civilization.

177. Ancient Calendars ancient civilizations relied upon the apparent motion of moon s cycles, but laterthe Egyptians realized that be one of the earliest years recorded in history. http://physics.nist.gov/GenInt/Time/ancient.html

Ancient Calendars Early Clocks A Revolution in Timekeeping The "Atomic" Age World Time Scales and Time Zones NIST Time Services Bibliography Ancient Calendars C We know little about the details of timekeeping in prehistoric eras, but wherever we turn up records and artifacts, we usually discover that in every culture, some people were preoccupied with measuring and recording the passage of time. Ice-age hunters in Europe over 20,000 years ago scratched lines and gouged holes in sticks and bones, possibly counting the days between phases of the moon. Five thousand years ago, Sumerians in the Tigris-Euphrates valley in today's Iraq had a calendar that divided the year into 30 day months, divided the day into 12 periods (each corresponding to 2 of our hours), and divided these periods into 30 parts (each like 4 of our minutes). We have no written records of Stonehenge, built over 4000 years ago in England, but its alignments show its purposes apparently included the determination of seasonal or celestial events, such as lunar eclipses, solstices and so on. The earliest Egyptian calendar was based on the moon's cycles, but later the Egyptians realized that the "Dog Star" in Canis Major, which we call Sirius, rose next to the sun every 365 days, about when the annual inundation of the Nile began. Based on this knowledge, they devised a 365 day calendar that seems to have begun in 4236 BCE (Before the Common Era), which thus seems to be one of the earliest years recorded in history.

178. Ancient Egypt - Introduction: The Nile Examines, via four essays (Geographical, Cultural, Technical, and Organizational), how the Nile River influenced life in egypt from ancient times to 1886 (preAswan Dam); based on the book, Rivers of Empire, by Donald Worster. http://carbon.cudenver.edu/stc-link/AE/

Ancient Egypt - Introduction by DeNile Team The Nile n his book Rivers of Empire , Donald Worster examines how the control of water meant everything. He examines how different tribes and societies have developed techniques to control the vital necessity of water. Worster breaks up his analysis into the following categories, cultural, geographical, organizational, and technical. He takes a culture and explores how the water has influenced each category. For this assignment we will attempt to do the same. For this web book, we decided to examine how the Nile river had influenced the ancient Egyptian life. Our focused time period was from ancient Egypt to pre-Aswan Dam. During this long time, life along the Nile did not change too much. Many of the day to day activities had not changed due to their isolation from the modern world. The annual flooding of the Nile river dictated their working schedules. We explored the following categories to see how the Nile influenced their life: Geographical Cultural Technical Organizational It was not until William Willcocks, who helped develop the lower Aswan Dam, entered Egypt did their life-style change. As the control of the water changed, the culture had to enter a new paradigm. his web book on Ancient Egypt is the product of the collaboration of many individuals. The

University of Arizona Women's Studies Department WS200 Women and Western Culture WS200 Webpage Project Educated Women in Ancient Society Education has always been an important factor in all societies. Throughout the lands bordering the Mediterranean, women in antiquity were always somewhat educated, regardless of their rank in society. We have chosen to place our focus on women in Greece, Egypt, and Italy. We have defined the meaning of education of the times, discussed female philosophers and poets, and discussed the roles women had within the priesthood. As part of the Women and Western Culture classes at the University of Arizona, students are required to research various topics and create webpapers. Our group is reporting on the Education of Women in the Mediterranean- We've divided our topic into the following categories: The Perception of Education in the Ancient World Education of women of the middle and upper classes Women in Religion ...

180. Egyptian Gods Discover the gods and goddesses of ancient egypt. Learn all about Ra the sun god and his children Isis, Osiris, Seth and Nefertem. http://users.bigpond.net.au/bstone/egyptian_gods.htm

The Deities of Egypt Atum is all, self generating and source of everything, he is the sun god and king of all - Ra, he is Atum-Ra. Pre-existing within himself is the masculine life - Ankh and the feminine justice and truth - Ma'at. By spit or masturbation he brought forth dry air, the breath, Shu and his sister wife moisture, Tefnet. From them came the earth Geb and the sky, his sister wife Nut. Due to Ra's displeasure at their continual coupling, Geb and Nut were separated by Shu. From the earth and sky come Osiris, Isis, Nefertem and Seth. After a rebellion Ra withdrew to the heavens. Osiris became king of the world but, by the jealousy of Seth, he is murdered and scattered across Egypt. His sister wife Isis gathered the pieces and resurrected him long enough to bear a child - Horus. Osiris withdrew to be king of the underworld and Horus battled with Seth, and now Horus becomes King of the world and Kingship itself. He is Ra-Horakhty. He gives Kingship and the Pharaoh IS the son of Ra. Creation has many stories.
