Egyptian Mythology , specifically, the religion of ancient Egypt. The religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians were the dominating influence in the development of their culture, although a true religion, in the sense of a unified theological system, never existed among them. The Egyptian faith was based on an unorganized collection of ancient myths, nature worship, and innumerable deities. In the most influential and famous of these myths a divine hierarchy is developed and the creation of the earth is explained. Creation According to the Egyptian account of creation, only the ocean existed at first. Then Ra, the sun, came out of an egg (a flower, in some versions) that appeared on the surface of the water. Ra brought forth four children, the gods Shu and Geb and the goddesses Tefnut and Nut. Shu and Tefnut became the atmosphere. They stood on Geb, who became the earth, and raised up Nut, who became the sky. Ra ruled over all. Geb and Nut later had two sons, Set and Osiris , and two daughters, Isis and Nephthys. Osiris succeeded Ra as king of the earth, helped by Isis, his sister-wife. Set, however, hated his brother and killed him. Isis then embalmed her husband's body with the help of the god Anubis, who thus became the god of embalming. The powerful charms of Isis resurrected Osiris, who became king of the netherworld, the land of the dead.

It was created after death by the use of funerary text and spells, designed to bring forth an akh. Once this was achieved that individual was assured of not "dying a second time" a death that would mean the end of one's existence. AKHET This was the horizon from which the sun emerged and disappeared. The horizon thus embodied the idea of both sunrise and sunset. It is similar to the two peaks of the

The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten.

Hello fellow Egyptian Mythology lovers! Ancient Egypt has always held a certain fascination and has ignited the imaginations of archaeologists as well as ordinary people. I guess it's the mystique behind their beliefs and the fact that we'll probably never know the "whole" story. Their civilization lasted almost without change for more than 3,000 years. It doesn't seem possible does it? Their greatness began around 4,500 B.C. The four greatest periods in their history were: The Old Kingdom ... 2686 - 2181 B.C. ... Dynasties III - VIII The Middle Kingdom ... 2134 - 1786 B.C. ... Dynasties XI and XII The Second Intermediate Kingdom ... 1786 - 1570 B. C. ... Dynasties XIII - XVII The New Kingdom ... 1570 - 1085 B.C. ... Dynasties XVIII - XX From early in their history, the Egyptians believed in the concept of life after death, which led them to perfect the art of embalming and drove them to build the magnificient pyramids and tombs. Their belief system was reflected in the nature and appearance of their deities. Egyptians did not require human sacrifice and they did not discriminate against people with other religious beliefs. Their temples were considered homes of the deities rather than places of worship, and the ruling Pharaoh was considered an incarnated god on Earth.

12. Egyptian Mythology - Osiris Cult Entity who played a very important role in ancient Egypt and this carried over into the rituals and beliefs of Egyptians much later. http://www.touregypt.net/Osiriscu.htm

Osiris Cult Osiris has been mentioned many times, but not in any detail until now. Osiris played a very important role in ancient Egypt and this carried over into the rituals and beliefs of Egyptians much later, as well. It was because of the legend of Osiris that Egyptians believed they had the right to be transformed and to live in the afterlife. The myth of Osiris is like every other Egyptian myth: the story has changed with every political change of power. Osiris was the son of Geb and Nut and was born in Thebes in Upper Egypt. Upon his birth, his grandfather, Ra, pronounced him heir to his throne, and when Geb retired, Osiris assumed this role and took his sister, Isis, as queen. His first deed was to abolish cannibalism and teach the arts of agriculture. He built the first temples and laid down fair laws for his people. He was given another name at this point, Onnophris, meaning the "good one." In his role as the fourth divine pharaoh, this was Osiris’s name. The Osiris Cult myths had its beginnings in Lower Egypt in the Delta region. Some historians believe that Osiris was an actual king of Egypt and this may be true; however, for our purposes, he was a god, though many kings later associated themselves with him. In the beginning, Osiris was associated mostly with agriculture. This cult spread rapidly into Upper Egypt, and soon Osiris became identified with the funeral god, Abydos, Khenti-Amentiu, who was symbolized by the wolf. Osiris became known as Osiris Khenti-Amentiu, "Lord of the Westerners," as the West was the home of the dead. As the cult spread and gained acceptance, Osiris also became identified with the necropolis god of Giza, near Memphis. Seker, as the god was called, was a burial ground god.

13. Main Menu A whois-who of classical, Norse, Gaelic and egyptian mythology. http://www.akasha.demon.co.uk/main.htm

This web page is dedicated to the wonderful stories and legends found in the ancient mythologies. Being mainly Celtic with a dash of Greek, I have always been facinated with the myths of those two races. Recently I have researched Norse mythology and found that there is an equally exciting supply of legend there.Finally, inspired by an upcoming trip to Egypt I started to look at their myths, which although highly confusing, have a wealth of interesting deities and beliefs My only problem in constructing this web site has been in deciding what to put in and what to leave out. I have basically compromised by including a glossary of the main characters in Norse, Gaelic, Egyptian and Classical Mythology and including a few of my own favorite stories. I hope, that like me, you may be inspired to read more about the myths of these great cultures. Mail me! or sign the guest book

Royal Arch and the Precession of the Equinoxes Ancient Egyptians and the Constellations: Part 5 The reason Precession occurs is that the Earth not only rotates on its axis  otherwise known as the Axis Munde or World Pillar  it also wobbles . This wobble effect is a phenomenon caused by forces exerted by the Sun on the bulges of the Earth at the Equator. The wobble effect is best explained in terms of a spinning top. As the top begins to lose momentum it begins to wobble. It is this same kind of circular movement, or wobble, of the Earth, which moving at a constant speed over long periods of Time alters the direction of the Polar Axis. One revolution is completed every 25,920 years. The central point of revolution is called the "pole of the ecliptic". The visible effect of Precession on the Pole Star. The wobble effect is best explained in terms of a spinning top. As the top begins to lose momentum it begins to wobble The apparent cycle of the Pole Stars over a period of 25,920 years is not the only effect of Precession as viewed from Planet Earth. Another effect with which most of us will be familiar is the apparent movement of the Signs of the Zodiac across the sky on an annual basis. It is reasonable to suspect that most of you reading this will be familiar with the Sign of the Zodiac under which you were born, and many of you will read your stars in newspapers and magazines everyday. You might be an Aries or a Libra. Or perhaps like me you are a Scorpio.

The significance of this duality is more than a geographical and demographic fact; it is a basic element in the very beginnings of the culture of the ancient Egyptians and finds significant expression in their religion and myths. Ancient Egyptian culture, myth, and religion might be characterized as a duality with rhythmic structures contained within a static unity.
