24. The Scarab Beetle Appearance: The particular species of beetle represented in the numerous ancient Egyptian amulets and works of art was commonly the large sacred scarab (Scarabaeus sacer). This beetle was famous for his habit of rolling balls of dung along the ground and depositing them in its burrows. The female would lay her eggs in the ball of dung. When they hatched, the larvae would use the ball for food. When the dung was consumed the young beetles would emerge from the hole. Millions of amulets and stamp seals of stone or faience were fashioned in Egypt depicted the scarab beetle. Meaning: It seemed to the ancient Egyptians that the young scarab beetles emerged spontaneously from the burrow where they were born. Therefore they were worshipped as "Khepera", which means "he was came forth." This creative aspect of the scarab was associated with the creator god Atum. The ray-like antenna on the beetle's head and its practice of dung-rolling caused the beetle to also carry solar symbolism. The scarab-beetle god Khepera was believed to push the setting sun along the sky in the same manner as the beettle with his ball of dung. In many artifacts, the scarab is depicted pushing the sun along its course in the sky. During and following the New Kingdom, scarab amulets were often placed over the heart of the mummified deceased. These "heart scarabs" were meant to be weighed against the feather of truth during the final judgement. The amulets were often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead which entreated the heart to, "do not stand as a witness against me." 1. Hieroglyphic Cypher

26. The Eye of Horus 1. The String Pyramid Challenge The Eye of Horus was a popular and persistent Egyptian religious symbol, so you will see a lot of information about it, some fairly contradictory. That the eye signifies "wisdom" is the common definition, but is not terribly informative. The name variations also cause a lot of confusion. It is also important to remember that there was a lot of variety in Egyptian religious belief, and myths changed and evolved over time. Horus himself went through many changes. He was once nearly identical with the God Ra, and for a time there were two gods Horus, with different aspects. He was also closely related to Osirus, and one of his aspects (as the infant God Hoor-par- kraat, or Harpocrates) was as the infant child of the slain Osirus and the Goddess Isis. Generally speaking, there are actually two eyes of Horus- the left eye, and the right, the sun and the moon. The Egyptian Gods were closely related to the heavenly bodies and their respective "powers," the phenomena observed in relation to these bodies (This is why moon Goddesses are associated with the oceans, tides, etc., because the Moon was perceived to control the tides, floods, etc.). This pair of eyes, sun and moon together, represented the transcendent power of Horus. The right eye is associated with the sun, and is sometimes called the eye of Ra. It is also occasionally associated with Goddesses such as Sekhmet and Wedjat, in their fiery capacities. The left eye, which is sometimes called the "eye of Thoth" is related to the Moon and the moon God thoth. It is this eye which is torn from Horus by his brother/uncle Seth, and restored to him by Thoth. This is an allusion to the phases of the moon, and its magical appearance and disappearance every month. The eye is also used to represent fractions, which may have been derived from observation of the phases of the moon. Spiritually speaking, the Udjat and Wedjat represent the solar and lunar nature of man- the balance between reason and intuition, light and dark, the left and right brain, etc. Reflecting on the natures of the sun and moon, and their relationships to the Isis/Osirus/Horus trinity should give insight to the nature of these symbols.

28. Horus: The Falcon The god Horus is one of the most famous gods of ancient Egypt. Egypt Air has taken Horus as its Logo because of it ancient symbolism, as a winged god of the Sky, Horus, was this and more. The name "HORUS" stems from the ancient Egyptian word hr (her) which in its simple form was the preposition "above", "upon" so Horus the falcon soars above all the land and its inhabitants, and was, the natural symbol of the King who reigns over all Egypt. Every pharaoh was an incarnation of Horus, who according to legend conquered Seth the evil god of Upper Egypt. Seth was god of turmoil and confusion who murdered Osiris, Horus's father. Horus avenged his father's death and became the god of order and justice. Therefore the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt became Horus on earth, the ruler of the two lands (Upper and Lower Egypt). Horus, represented by the hawk, was the god of the Sky, a symbol of divine Kingship, and protector of the ruling King. The name Horus also means the forsighted, where one eye represents the Sun and other represents the Moon. The Sun was Known as "Horakhty", or Horus in the Horizon., Horus was considered as the god of the east and the rising Sun. Horus has the Shape of a falcon or a hawk or can take a human Shape with a falcon. Horus was the god of the Nile Delta (Lower Egypt) and Seth was the god of Upper Egypt, but Horus became the Symbol of Kingship and the King of Upper and Lower Egypt because it was he who united the two Kingdoms. 1.
