Ancient Civilizations- Egypt

Ancient Civilizations: Egypt The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt (and the Afterlife ) By: Honoka Li

The Crook and Flail • The Crook is used for shepherds to catch their sheep.

• The flail is used in threshing, to separate the grains from the outer husks.

The Crook and Flail was important for Egyptians because training sheep was for food and the flail was for separating grains. The two objects were often placed in the coffins of the Pharaohs. Even on Tutankhamen’s death mask there was a Crook and flail.

The God of the Dead Osiris was the god of the Dead. It might sound Evil, but the Egyptians thought about death a lot! Osiris would welcome dead souls to the afterlife.

You might not know what the Afterlife is so I will explain it at the next slide‌.

Who are the important gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt?

Ra The Sun God

Ra was the sun god.

He took on many of the attributes and even the names of other gods as Egyptian myths evolved the Sun god.

Anubis The god of Mummification

Anubis is the God of mummies and mummification. When a pharaoh dies, a person with a mask of Anubis comes to wrap the body. It also symbolizes the importance of mummification and the after life.

Nekhbet Goddess of Egyptian Mythology

Nekhbet is the Goddess of Egyptian Myths and Religion. She is a falcon and is carrying a shen ring.

Egyptian is Religion is a religion that you believe in many, many Gods.

Aims: To learn the Egyptian creation story (NOT math class)

First there was only NUN. NUN is water of chaos. One day a hill rose up named Ben-Ben, and on the hill the first god, Amun stood up. And Amun coughed and spat out 2 gods, Shu god of the air and Tefnut, goddess of moisture. Shu and Tefnut married and got Geb god of the earth and Nut, goddess of the sky. Shu lifted Nut up so Nut became a canopy over Geb. Nut and Geb married and gave birth to Osiris, Seth, Isis, and Nepthys.

Osiris was the King of the earth, and Isis was the queen. But one day Seth was angry that Osiris got to be the king of the earth and killed Osiris. Osiris went down to the underworld and became king of the underworld. Seth became King of the earth. After that, Horus Osiris`s son battled against Seth and won. So Horus became God of the Earth.

Thank you for watching!
