Book Description
Egyptian Language, Easy Lessons in Egyptian Hieroglyphics is a beginner's instruction manual written in 1910 by Egyptologist and hieroglyphic expert Sir Ernest A. Wallis Budge. Intended as an easy introduction for anyone interested in learning the ancient Egyptian writing of hieroglyphics, Egyptian Language includes a short history on hieroglyphs, including the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, and lessons in phonetics and ideographs, parts of speech, and extracts of real Egyptian works (such as The Book of the Dead) with which to practice. SIR ERNEST ALFRED THOMPSON WALLIS BUDGE (1857-1934) was born in Bodmin, Cornwall in the UK and discovered an interest in languages at a very early age. Budge spent all his free time learning and discovering Semitic languages, including Assyrian, Syriac, and Hebrew. Eventually, through a close contact, he was able to acquire a job working with Egyptian and Iraqi artifacts at the British Museum. Budge excavated and deciphered numerous cuneiform and hieroglyphic documents, contributing vastly to the museum's collection. Eventually, he became the Keeper of his department, specializing in Egyptology. Budge wrote many books during his lifetime, most specializing in Egyptian life, religion, and language.

Egyptian Divinities
Author: Moustafa Gadalla
Publisher: Moustafa Gadalla
ISBN: 1931446571
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
The Egyptian concept of God is based on recognizing the multiple attributes of the Divine. The book details more than 80 divinities (gods/goddesses), how they act and interact to maintain the universe, and how they operate in the human being—As Above so Below, and As Below so Above. This Expanded Edition of the book consists of two Parts with a total of 12 Chapters. Part I : The All Who Are THE ONE consists of seven chapters 1 through 7, as follows: Chapter 1: The One is ALL explains that far from being a primitive, polytheistic form, the Egyptians' ideology is the highest expression of monotheistic mysticism. Chapter 2: The Divine Energies of The Creation Cycle covers the role of the divine energies in the creation cycle which accords with scientific principles; and how such divine energies were recognized in later creeds as 'Angels of God'. Chapter 3: Manifestation of Neteru in The Orderly Creation Process covers such manifestation into three primary phases, in the Egyptian creation process accounts. Chapter 4: Understanding Names, Epithets & Titles covers the real secret names and how Egyptians used epithets and titles when referring to the divine energies. Chapter 5: Narration of Their Manifestations explains how the cosmological knowledge of Ancient Egypt was expressed in a story form, which is a superior means for expressing both physical and metaphysical concepts. Chapter 6: Common Misrepresentations of the Divinities in Egypt covers examples of such misrepresnations and provides the real intended representations Chapter 7: Man and The Divine Forces covers man's place in the universal order; man as the image of the universe; the two Heavenly Courts; the three primary Heavenly Helpers to earthly dwellers; and man interactions with the divine forces in the Egyptian temples . Part II : The Roles of Most Recognized Neteru (gods/goddesses) consists of five chapters 8 through 12, as follows: Chapter 8: Mystical Pictorial Depictions covers pictorial symbolism of the Nneteru; and how do Egyptian depictions reflect metaphysical concepts through the use of human figuration, animal symbolism, accessories, emblems, color,etc as well as various action forms Chapter 9: Most Common Animals and Birds Forms Neteru covers the metaphysical significance of several animal images such as that of the ass, baboon, beetle, Bennu/Benben, bulls, cat, cows [Mehet-Uret (Mehurt, Methyer); Hesat, Hathor], crocodile, dog, egg, falcon, feather, fish, frog, goose, hare, heron, hippopotamus, horse, ibis, lions [lion, lioness & twin-lions(Aker)], Phoenix, rams, serpents, stork, vulture, and winged sun. Chapter 10: Most Common Male & Androgynous Human Forms Divinities covers the metaphysical significance of several male and androgynous human form images such as: Amon(Amen, Amun), Anubis (Anbu,Ubuat ,Web-wawet), Apis(Epaphus,Hapis), Aton (Adon), Atum (Atem,Atom, Atam),Bes, Geb(Seb, Keb), Hapi (Hepr),Herishef (Harsaphis, Arshaphes, Arsaphes), Horus (Heru) --[also Hor-Sa-Auset,/ Horsiesis (or Harsiesis),Heru-p-Khart / Hor-Pa-Khred / Harpocrates,Horus Behdety /Apollo and Heru-ur,/Haroeris/Harueris], Hor.Akhti/Horachti, Khepri (Khepera), Khnum, Khonsu(Khons), Min(Menu, Amsi, Kamutef), Nefertum --[also, The Triad Ptah-Sokaris-Nefertum],Nun/Nu/Ny, Osiris (Ausar, Usire, Asar), Ptah (Phtas, Vulcan), Re (Ra), Re Hor akhti (Rahorakhty), Reshpu(Reshef, Reseph), Sebek , (Sobek, Suchos), Seth(Set, Sutekh, Typhon), Sokaris (Sokar,Sakar, Seqr ), Shu, and Thoth[Tehuti,Hermes, Mercury] Chapter 11: Most Common Female Human Forms Divinities covers the metaphysical significance of several female human form images such as: Isis (Auset,Ast)-- The divine female Principle/Principal, Anat, Bast (Bastet, Oubastis), Heket(Heqet), Hathor (Het-Hor, Het-Heru,Venus, Aphrodite) --[also- Mehet-Uret (Mehurt, Methyer)- Heru-sekha- Hesat - Merit- Tree Netrt(goddess) - Astrate/ Asera / Serah / Sarah- Notre Dame], Kadesh (Qadesh), Maat(Mayet), Merit, Mut, Nephthys (Nebt-het), Neith (Net), Nut, Satis (Satet), Sekhmet(Sekh-Mut, Sakhmet,Petesachmis), Selkis(Serket,Selkit,Serqet), Seshat(Safkhet, Sesat, Seshet, Sesheta, Seshata), Taurt(Taweret, Thoeris, Toeris), and Tefnut, Chapter 12: The Archetypal Synergies covers the complex and shifting array of relationships between the divine energies; and how such synergies are being manifested in various associations such as dualities, trinities, octads and Enneads.

Temples and Concepts in Ancient Egyptian Architecture

Book Description
The earliest temples were simple huts made of plaited wickerwork, used as shrines for the symbols of God; the altar was nothing more than a mat made of reeds. In the earliest temples, a wall surrounds the name-stela, later covered with a roof. Temple construction became increasingly complex with the advent of the New Empire, although the plan remained virtually unchanged from the earliest to the latest. A sanctuary in the simplest form consisted of a surrounding wall, a pylon or entry gateway with flanking towers, before which two colossal statues of the king, two obelisks, and finally, the innermost sanctuary called the naos, which contained the divine symbols. Various additions included three pylons divided by three avenues of sphinxes, columned courts, and a hypostyle or columned hall. These Egyptian kings increased the size of their predecessors' buildings in this way. A vast wall surrounded these temples, blocking all noise and bustle of the narrow streets of the crowded cities. On each side of the broad road that led up to the great pylon, the principal gateway were rows of lions, rams, or other sacred animals guarding the entrance. Two obelisks stood in front of the gateway and a statue of the king who founded the temple as protector. The door was flanked by two high, square towers sloping inward on either side. They were initially designed for defensive purposes, so the passage through the pylon could be successfully barred against all foes while sorties could be made from postern gates in the wall. Towers were fitted with sockets at the foot where tall masts were mounted. The gaily colored streamers waved in front of the great doors to keep away all evil, just as the Winged Disk, the symbol of the sun, did. These were usually made of wood, a valuable material in Egypt, and swathed in gold. Reliefs and inscriptions painted on the temple's outer walls depicted the deeds of the founder since the temple was as much a personal memorial as it was a shrine to the tutelary deity. An extraordinary court surrounded the pylon, usually only colonnaded on either side, but columns were running down the middle in more prominent temples, such as Karnak. Many citizens had the right to attend the great festivals held here. The hypostyle was entered by a low doorway, the windows close to the roof, so the light was dim, whereas the sanctuary was utterly and profoundly dark.
