The Tears of Re
Author: Gene Kritsky
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199361401
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
According to Egyptian mythology, when the ancient Egyptian sun god Re cried, his tears turned into honey bees upon touching the ground. For this reason, the honey bee was sacrosanct in ancient Egyptian culture. From the art depicting bees on temple walls to the usage of beeswax as a healing ointment, the honey bee was a pervasive cultural motif in ancient Egypt because of its connection to the sun god Re. Gene Kritsky delivers a concise introduction of the relationship between the honey bee and ancient Egyptian culture, through the lenses of linguistics, archeology, religion, health, and economics. Kritsky delves into ancient Egypt's multifaceted society, and traces the importance of the honey bee in everything from death rituals to trade. In doing so, Kritsky brings new evidence to light of how advanced and fascinating the ancient Egyptians were. This richly illustrated work appeals to a broad range of interests. For archeology lovers, Kritsky delves into the archeological evidence of Egyptian beekeeping and discusses newly discovered tombs, as well as evidence of manmade hives. Linguists will be fascinated by Kritsky's discussion of the first documented written evidence of the honeybee hieroglyph. And anyone interested in ancient Egypt or ancient cultures in general will be intrigued by Kritsky's treatment of the first documented beekeepers. This book provides a unique social commentary of a community so far removed from modern humans chronologically speaking, and yet so fascinating because of the stunning advances their society made. Beekeeping is the latest evidence of how ahead of their times the Egyptians were, and the ensuing narrative is as captivating as every other aspect of ancient Egyptian culture.

'Not all dogs can become the Pharaoh's dog. You have to earn that position the same way my father and I did.' In the Pharaoh's courtyard, a litter of puppies was born.

Protected fiercely by his mother and bullied by his brothers, Gaza has had a hard time proving himself until the day he is chosen to be the pet of Princess Antiti. From that moment, Gaza is poised to earn the coveted position of Pharaoh's dog, but a chase through the marketplace and out of the city soon has him lost in the desert with little hope of finding his way home. After making friends with a mongoose, joining a pack of jackals, and comforting a fallen outrider, Gaza learns about the way of life in the Egyptian desert. To find his way home, Gaza must learn who he is and test his moxy to the utmost in a battle with a crazed hyena and even his own littermates. Join Barbara Jean Aarons as she shares the exploits of the small but determined Gaza, and learn whether he has what it takes to become The Pharaoh's Dog. Barbara Jean Aarons is a retired breeder and avid lover of Pharaoh Hounds. She has two sons and resides in Minnesota. Although she no longer breeds or shows dogs, she is a dedicated advocate for breed awareness and works continuously to carry on the legacy of her parents, who were breeders, as well as that of the Pharaoh Hound.
