The Ancient Egyptian Bok of the Duat (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Every morning, a fearful monster called apep lurked beneath the place of sunrise, ready to swallow up the solar disk. This "Great Devil" was impossible to destroy, even for the Sun-god. However, by reciting morning after morning the powerful spell that Thoth provided him with, he could paralyze all of Apep's limbs and rise upon this World. Since the "great gods," though benevolently inclined towards the dead, are unable to protect them from demons that lived upon "bodies, souls, spirits, shadows, and hearts of the dead," the Egyptians decided to invoke Thoth's assistance on behalf of their dead and to place them under the protection of his spells. Many funerary texts were composed by Egyptian theologians under the fourth dynasty (about 3700 B.C.) and were probably well known under the first dynasty and throughout the whole Period of dynastic history; Thoth was thought to be the author of the "Book of the Dead."

Autorenporträt

Stacy Dalton's Fascination with Egypt began at an early age, when he showed proficiency and high aptitude for languages, having read the story of Jean Francois Champollion and the decoding of the hieroglyphs, he was immediately drawn to Ancient languages of Egypt and the Middle East. He has worked on 9 expeditions and written 33 papers on every Kingdom and Dynasty of Egypt, he has now expanded his insights into other ancient civilizations and dabbles as an investigative mythologist. Stacy believes when we crack the origins of creation mythology we will crack ancient civilizations, something many scholars largely ignore.
