Ancient Egyptian Religion








 

This is a site about

Ancient Egypt

You can learn about its Religion, Deities, Temple life, Priesthood, Rituals and Philosophy here.

Mythology, Festivals and Wisdom Texts are also included.

Women and their life in Ancient Egypt, wether royal or commoners, is another topic Iīm working on.

Photos and notes from my trips to Egypt can be seen too and therefore some locations like
Philae, Karnak, Abydos, Dendera and Sakkara have their pages. These havenīt found their final form yet.

My purpose is to gain some knowledge and understanding of a vast and fascinating topic, and to reflect it by and by on this site for those people who, like myself, are passionate about Ancient Egypt.

This is an ongoing effort - Iīm afraid that it will take me the rest of my life!




Akhet - the point at the horizon where the sun rises every morning and where it sets every night. The entrance to the Underworld and thereby the key to the concept of 'Eternal Return' which ensures that day follows upon day, month upon month, year upon year, which leads to the concept of 'Eternal Life'.
