THE GRANDJOUR OF EGYPT

Egypt and the Egyptian Art has always been a passion of mine. I have worked for about 10 years to compile pictures and graphics and art from Egypt. I do not know what each of these are, some I do. But you will recognze the writings, the color, and atmosphere depicted here. I wish to give credit to all the museums and ftp sites for their work compilling these also.






THIS PAGE WILL BE EXTREMELY GRAPHICS HEAVY. PLEASE GIVE IT TIME TO LOAD.





WHAT IS INSIDE THE PYRAMIDS?

Inside the pyramids are many beautiful and amazing prayers and pictures of prayers to many gods and goddesses called 'spells'. They spells assured the dead of safe passage into the next life. They are what are pictured in the wall paintings in the pyramids. It would take months of web pages for you to know all of it, so this will be a brief description of some of the information on the gods. Watch my other web pages in this grouping for more information.

Nut was called the goddess of the sky. She was the sister to Geb. Nut was a mother-goddess who had many children. They were Osiris and Isis and Seth and Nephthys. Nut was to represent the womb. She stretches from horizon to horizon in the sky. Nut is also pictured as a large sow, suckling many piglets. Nut is also called the mother of the sun and the moon.

Nephthys is the daughter to Nut. Nephthys is called the Lady of the House and had no children with Seth, her first husband. She and OSIRIS had anubis.

Anubis is called the jackal headed god. He is guardian of the cemetry. He is supposed to guide the dead through into the next life. He also supervises the "weighing of the heart" where everyone that dies must weight their heart against the feather of Maat to see if they are worthy. The heart of the dead is considered left in the body after death for the conscience of the person to be judged. If they are judged bad, the god Thoth eats their heart.

I do not know who the artist is of the above artwork, but he should get the Olympic Gold Medal for the accurate and true depiction of how Egypt should look. His work is amazing and I wish I could afford to buy it. I think I would buy all of them. But.....for most of us that can not afford them, I have saved the images to put up on this web site for all to see. And truly, all can see, if they just go to a library. You can access a computer there, if necessary.


These paintings of Egypt were done by David Roberts, who was an English orientalist painter. These were done in the early 1800's, capturing as much of the old Egypt with the new....Great job!




The Hall of Maat is where the dead go to be judged. This spell or prayer is all over the pyramids to give the dead safe passsage. In this hall, if the heart of the dead person is worthy, he or she will go on to the Fields of Peace. Most of the spells in the walls on the paintings alude to all dead there requesting that.







I NEVER GET ENOUGH OF EGYPT

If you are truly interested in Egyptology, go to the library and get a copy of THE BOOK OF THE DEAD. It shows and explains the funeral procession of the Royal Scribe Ani. Many of the spells or prayers to the gods and goddesses are in there.

The pictures and paintings are out of this world. In this procession, Ani goes through all the steps required to enter the Fields of Peace. There are female professional mourners, the Judgement Scales and animals used to facilitate the move. It is very interesting.

In the coming web pages, you will find some of these pictures included. Just right click of the mouse over the piture to get the descriptions.






The goddess Ammut is actually a female demon that will devour the souls of the person, or the heart, of the person not worthy to enter the Fields of Peace. She is a low multi animal-looking godess.





Amun was called The Hidden One. He was called King of the Gods. Through political means, he got rid of lesser gods.





Maat was considered the goddess of truth. She also represented law and order. She is sometimes called the "eye of Ra."
MORE EGYPTIAN GRAPHICS!

There is not near enough room for all the Egyptian graphics I have to put on one page, not enough to put on two pages, and not enough room on three pages. So......I have tried to put some of the best I have here, and will make another Egyptian page later on. I am sorry that I am not able to tell you exactly what each picture is and who the artist is. I did try to keep the records, but my computer dumped a couple of times, leaving me with no written record of what the file is. Below are a few more graphics and images.



I have been making these web pages with Netscape 3.0 and find no problems at this time. I do not have MS Internet Explorer yet. I am plugging in a few more graphics below, although this page is very full. If you have any requests for pages, let me know. Or....make your own. I was a novice and failed a few times, but this works very well at TRIPOD. Give it a try. Thank you.

My next pages will be on Thanksgiving, then I would like to form a WOMAN'S HEALTH PAGE with lots of links and FAQ's and you can e-mail me with thoughts and quetions that we can put up as a bulliten board. So WATCH for the next endevors..... :)


Ra is called the Father of the gods. He wa a sun god, took many other names as his name, was always traveling in boats. His chief enemy was a serpant called Apep. Ra won the battle. Ra is also pictured as a hawk with a solar disk on top of the head.


Horus has so many names and relationsships throughout Egypt. Look to my other web pages next to see about him. But he was called "he who is above". He is a falcon headed man with the double crown on.

I could not imagine ever living in the throws of the Egyptian Empire when it was at it's peak, and not love it. The spendor and grace of a nation and life, the care to preserve their dead, and the knowledge base must have been magnificent.

The above green and yellow flower item is not Egyptian.
