AKHET


ENTER
 

This site is dedicated to Ancient Egypt, especially its Religion, Gods and Goddesses, Temple life, Priesthood, Rituals and Philosophy.

Creation Myths, Festivals and Wisdom Texts are also featured.

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

The purpose is to gain some knowledge and understanding of a vast and fascinating topic, and to reflect it by and by on this site. I´m afraid that it will take me the rest of this lifetime!


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'.
