This book identifies, for the first time since antiquity, the sources and meanings of more than 50 ancient Egyptian symbols, including the Eye of Horus, evil god Seth and his strange head, 10 major crowns, and the symbolic foundations of Osirian mythology, backbone of ancient Egyptian religion for more than 2000 years. These are paradigm-changing discoveries. Most of them are based on detailed examinations of living examples of ancient Egypt's two sacred flowers - the Blue and the White Waterlilies - and on resurrection texts found in ancient Egyptian tombs. More than 300 detailed illustrations, beautifully presented, make these discoveries easy to understand and appreciate. The book is organized for the general reader and scholar alike.
Autorenporträt
Jonathan Meader's art has been exhibited internationally. Some is in The National Gallery and the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and in many other collections. He lived in Lebanon and Morocco as a teenager, and has traveled widely. Meader and his wife, Barbara Demeter, devoted more than a decade to uncovering the long-forgotten sources and meanings of ancient Egyptian symbols. Then, after he became a grandfather (x5), Jonathan was inspired to dig up some of his old pen and ink drawings, ones done 40 years earlier, and add color and poems to create this book.
