Physicians themselves often used incantations and magical ingredients as part of their treatments. Since the belief in magic and religion was so commonplace in Egypt, it is as though the use o ...

Under Ptolemy Soter, efforts were made to integrate Egyptian religion with that of their hellenic rulers. Ptolemy's policy was to find a deity that should win the reverence alike of both groups, despite the curses of the Egyptian priests against the gods of the previous foreign rulers (i.e Set who was lauded by the Hyksos). Alexander had attempted to use Amun for this purpose, but he was more prominent in Upper Egypt, which was not so popular with those in Lower Egypt, where the Greeks had stronger influence. Nethertheless, the Greeks had li ...

Triads of deities were also used in Egyptian religion to signify a complete system. Examples include references to the god Atum "when he was one and became three" when he gave birth to Shu and Tefnut, and the triad of Horus, Osiris, and Isis. See also:

Granite, quarried near Aswan, was used to construct some architectural elements, including the porticulis (a type of gate) and the roofs and walls of the burial chamber. Occasion ...

Although Professor Heinrich Otten has called called the current scholarly consensus a "rubber chronology" that you can stretch or shrink anywhere, by arbitrarily established lengths of co-regencies between rulers and even overlapping dynasties, the outlines and dates have not fluctuated very much in the last 100 years, as can be seen by comparing the dates when Egypt's 30 dynasties began and ended from two different Egyptologists: ...

When Osiris absorbed the identity of Ptah, becoming Ptah-Seker-Osiris, the Apis bull became considered an aspect of Osiris rather than Ptah. Since Osiris was lord of the dead, the Apis then became known as the living deceased one. As he now represented Osiris, when the Apis bull reached the age of twenty-eight, the age when Osiris was said to have been killed by Set, symbolic of the lunar month, and the ne ...

The word ro is found in the Akhmim Wooden Tablet and RMP as a common divisor, and in other texts with values other than 1/320. Therefore the use of ro as a simple volume unit is misleading. For example, to divide 1/3rd of a hekat scribes like Ahmes used the expression: (64/64)/3 = 21/64 + 1/(3*64) such that ro was later introduced = (16 + 4 + 1)/64 + (5/3)* ro, since 1/64 = 5/320 = (1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64) + (1 + 2/3)* ro Note the binary (Horus-Eye) fractions in the first ...

Egyptian:

1. Dreaming of living in ancient Egypt might actually be a past-life memory. Be sure to write the dream down immediately upon awakening, as an issue from that past life could be coming to the surface of your unconscious mind. Something in the dream probably relates to a concern in the present, and the dream may be giving you important insights.

2. Egypt is a land of mystery, and therefore if you dream of Egypt or things Egyptian there is probably some mystery in your life that you'd like to have resolved. Look to other symbols in the dream to discern what it is and what you should do about it.

3. Egypt is a land where a lot of secrets are being dug out of the ground. What secrets are you hiding? Or are others around you keeping things from you that you really need to know? If the other symbols in the dream support this idea, honest communication with those involved is definitely called for.
