  1. Amon Granite statue of Amon in the form of a ram protecting King Taharqa, 25th dynasty, 690–664 bce. Before rising to national importance in the New Kingdom (c. 1539–1292 BCE), the god Amon was worshipped locally in the southern city of Thebes. Amon was a god of the air, and the name probably means the “Hidden One.” He was usually represented as a man wearing a crown with two vertical plumes. His animal symbols were the ram and the goose. After the rulers of Thebes rebelled against a dynasty of foreign rulers known as the Hyksos and reestablished native Egyptian rule throughout Egypt, Amon received credit for their victory. In a form merged with the sun god Re, he became the most powerful deity in Egypt, a position he retained for most of the New Kingdom. Today the massive temple complex devoted to Amon-Re at Karnak is one of the most visited monuments in Egypt. Egyptian cat statue representing the goddess Bastet. In her earliest forms, the cat goddess Bastet was represented as a woman with the head of a lion or a wild cat. She took the less ferocious form of a domestic cat in the first millennium BCE. In later periods she was often represented as a regal-looking seated cat, sometimes wearing rings in her ears or nose. In the Ptolemaic period she came to be associated with the Greek goddess Artemis, the divine hunter and goddess of the moon. Thoth Thoth, represented in human form with an ibis's head, detail from the Greenfield Papyrus, c. 950 bce Thoth, the god of writing and wisdom, could be depicted in the form of a baboon or a sacred ibis or as a man with the head of an ibis. He was believed to have invented language and the hieroglyphic script and to serve as a scribe and adviser for the gods. As the god of wisdom, Thoth was said to possess knowledge of magic and secrets unavailable to the other gods. In underworld scenes showing the judgment undergone by the deceased after their deaths, Thoth is depicted as weighing the hearts of the deceased and reporting the verdict to Osiris, the god of the dead
  2. Ptah Ptah, holding the emblem of life and power, bronze statuette, Memphis, c. 600-100 BC; in the British Museum Ptah, holding the emblems of life and power, bronze statuette, Memphis, c. 600–100 bce; in the British Museum. Ptah was the head of a triad of gods worshipped at Memphis. The other two members of the triad were Ptah’s wife, the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet, and the god Nefertem, who may have been the couple’s son. Ptah’s original association seems to have been with craftsmen and builders. The 4th-dynasty architect Imhotep was deified after his death as a son of Ptah. Scholars have suggested that the Greek word Aiguptos—the source of the name Egypt—may have started as a corruption of Hwt-Ka-Ptah, the name of one of Ptah’s shrines ..... One of several deities associated with the sun, the god Re was usually represented with a human body and the head of a hawk. It was believed that he sailed across the sky in a boat each day and then made a passage through the underworld each night, during which he would have to defeat the snake god Apopis in order to rise again. Re’s cult was centered in Heliopolis, now a suburb of Cairo. Over time, Re came to be syncretized with other sun deities, especially Amon. Hathor Hathor, relief on capitals at Philae island, southern Egypt. Hathor The goddess Hathor was usually depicted as a cow, as a woman with the head of a cow, or as a woman with cow’s ears. Hathor embodied motherhood and fertility, and it was believed that she protected women in childbirth. She also had an important funerary aspect, being known as “the lady of the west.” (Tombs were generally built on the west bank of the Nile.) In some traditions, she would welcome the setting sun every night; living people hoped to be welcomed into the afterlife in the same way. Anubis Anubis weighing the soul of the scribe Ani, from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, c. 1275 bce. Anubis was concerned with funerary practices and the care of the dead. He was usually represented as a jackal or as a man with the head of a jackal. The association of jackals with death and funerals likely arose because Egyptians would have observed jackals scavenging around cemeteries. In the Old Kingdom (c. 2575–2130 BCE), before Osiris rose to prominence as the lord of the underworld, Anubis was considered the principal god of the dead. According to the Osiris myth, Anubis embalmed and wrapped the body of the murdered king, becoming the patron god for embalmers.
  3. Egyptian Gods and Goddesses . An ancient egyptian hieroglyphic painted carving showing the falcon headed god Horus seated on a throne and holding a golden fly whisk. Before him are the Pharoah Seti and the goddess Isis. Interior wall of the temple to Osiris at Abydos, Egypt. Egypt had one of the largest and most complex pantheons of gods of any civilization in the ancient world. Over the course of Egyptian history hundreds of gods and goddesses were worshipped. The characteristics of individual gods could be hard to pin down. Most had a principle association (for example, with the sun or the underworld) and form. But these could change over time as gods rose and fell in importance and evolved in ways that corresponded to developments in Egyptian society. Here are a few of the most important deities to know. Osiris Osiris, bronze figurine of the Late Period; in the Egyptian Museum, Berlin Osiris, bronze figurine of the Late Period; in the Egyptian Museum, Berlin Osiris, one of Egypt’s most important deities, was god of the underworld. He also symbolized death, resurrection, and the cycle of Nile floods that Egypt relied on for agricultural fertility. According to the myth, Osiris was a king of Egypt who was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth. His wife, Isis, reassembled his body and resurrected him, allowing them to conceive a son, the god Horus. He was represented as a mummified king, wearing wrappings that left only the green skin of his hands and face exposed.

Brooklyn Museum, New York, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund, 37.400E The origins of Isis are obscure. Unlike many gods, she can’t be tied to a specific town, and there are no certain mentions of her in the earliest Egyptian literature. Over time she grew in importance, though, eventually becoming the most important goddess in the pantheon. As the devoted wife who resurrected Osiris after his murder and raised their son, Horus, Isis embodied the traditional Egyptian virtues of a wife and mother. As the wife of the god of the underworld, Isis was also one of the main deities concerned with rites for the dead. Along with her sister Nephthys, Isis acted as a divine mourner, and her maternal care was often depicted as extending to the dead in the underworld. Isis was one of the last of the ancient Egyptian gods to still be worshipped. In the Greco-Roman period she was identified with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her cult spread as far west as Great Britain and as far east as Afghanistan. It is believed that depictions of Isis with the infant Horus influenced Christian imagery of Mary with the infant Jesus. Horus Statue of the god Horus at his temple in Idfu, Egypt. Edfu, Temple of Horus, falcon god, Hor, Behdet, Djeba, Apollinopolis, Atbo. Horus Statue of Horus at his temple in Idfū, Egypt. Depicted as a falcon or as a man with a falcon’s head, Horus was a sky god associated with war and hunting. He was also the embodiment of the divine kingship, and in some eras the reigning king was considered to be a manifestation of Horus. According to the Osiris myth, Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris, magically conceived after the murder of Osiris by his brother Seth. Horus was raised to avenge his father’s murder. One tradition holds that Horus lost his left eye fighting with Seth, but his eye was magically healed by the god Thoth. Because the right and left eyes of Horus were associated, respectively, with the sun and the moon, the loss and restoration of Horus’s left eye gave a mythical explanation for the phases of the moon. Seth Seth was the god of chaos, violence, deserts, and storms. In the Osiris myth, he is the murderer of Osiris (in some versions of the myth, he tricks Osiris into laying down in a coffin and then seals it shut.) Seth’s appearance poses a problem for Egyptologists. He is often depicted as an animal or as a human with the head of an animal. But they can’t figure out what animal he’s supposed to be. He usually has a long snout and long ears that are squared at the tips. In his fully animal form, he has a thin doglike body and a straight tail with a tuft on the end. Many scholars now believe that no such animal ever existed and that the Seth animal is some sort of mythical composite.

  6. Fabrics, sculptures, paintings, art, music, jewelry, artifacts, emblems and pottery will also be included.
  7. @Karmadhi @Karmadhi That's why women don't bother to chase a man even if they find him attractive because there is no incentive to it. The man doesn't get pleased, rather displeased The fastest way to lose a man is to approach him. So even if I found a man absolutely attractive, I will never consciously approach him because he is going to treat me if I did that, I would rather want him to be attracted to me, so I would try to look pretty or sexy in front of him but will never dare to approach him because that would be foolish and an instant way of losing him. In essence, men dig their own graves by making it difficult for women to approach them.
  8. @Karmadhi not true. Guys tend to look down on women who approach them. They look at them as "low value" no matter how beautiful the girl might be.. A woman approaching a man automatically makes her "low value" in his eyes because men believe that they should win a woman rather than the other way round. Even beautiful women who approach men are treated badly, rejected, exploited for sex and usually dumped faster. Most importantly they are not given any respect because they are considered shameless and without dignity or pride or considered low worth, low self esteem and too "bimbo" or too desperate. Does this mean that these women are inferior in some way? Absolutely not. It's just that it doesn't tickle a man's ego enough for him to be excited enough to be with her. Men like chasing women not because they like the woman they are chasing but they like the excitement of chase and conquest than the woman herself!
  9. They are the workers of the underworld. Who? The dragons. They do the dirty work of protecting people by slaying the demons. The dragons of ancient Egypt were mostly crocodiles and hippos and snakes and birds like eagles and owls and hawks.
  10. Forgotten city.
  11. I feel better right now. But of course this never lasts long. Sooner or later I'm going to be suicidal again. I just need to keep hanging as long as I can and maybe one day I'll be out of the dark tunnel and get liberated once and for all. This is my Hero's journey. I wish this wasn't my journey because I wanted to help humanity, donate money, and do great things and teach people the importance of love. But here I am stuck in little foolish family dramas and financial issues. I had great ambitions as a teen I will hold that vision in my eyes as long as I can and maybe some day I won't be suicidal anymore and maybe that day I won't feel the pressure of family anymore and I will be free to do what I like and I will have enough money to do what I want to do.
  12. @Karmadhi as though men treat women very respectfully when women approach them? The hypocrisy.
  13. This profile picture brings me a feeling of power, as though I'm marching with power, for some reason.
  14. Common sense. Psychedelics cause hallucinations. Why would anyone want that when hallucinations is what they are struggling with?
  15. I keep changing my profile pictures. I have a sensory connection to my profile pictures. When I look at them I feel like these pictures say something to me or make me feel a certain way. When I feel like I'm not deriving that energy anymore I change the picture to something that fits my current mood. The current profile picture is unique. It gives me a sense of power for some reason. The look in the eyes of the profile photo makes me feel like I need to be a stronger woman to fight my battles. A lot of the profile pictures in the past made me feel redundant or run of the mill. There was no emotion. I always have an emotive quality to my profile pictures. Any random pic doesn't do the job for me. So i carefully select a picture based on the emotion or sentiment it creates.
  16. I actually more often use the word guy. Much more comfortable. It doesn't need much explanation and doesn't feel as forced as using the word man. I personally find the usage of the word man and woman a bit old and hyper or dramatic, I don't know, but it always makes it look biblical or something. I don't find the words man and woman modern enough. So i use the word guy. And for women in general (both girls and women) I can use gals. I don't want to constantly think about someone's age, that creates an additional layer of complexity and mental work, to keep differentiating between groups of people based on age. So i just use the general term guy. I want to be able to describe males and females using single terms no matter what age. So i can use guys and girls or guys and gals. That's better.
  17. Since evil means many things, I will exclusively use the word to only describe situations of protection and self defense. To me evil = poison necessary to defeat another evil Now what is genuine evil? The kind that destroys I would call that Malice. So instead of using the word evil, I will replace it by the term Malice. And instead of using the term Satan or Devil, I will use the term DE or Dark Entity. So this is set and done.
  18. OK continuing with the word evil. For me evil is an ambiguous term. It means a lot of things. The evil that is offensive, like murdering someone and evil that is trying to correct behavior of someone who is evil that is lesser evil fighting greater evil is also evil. But it's a necessary form of evil.. This causes confusion. If I tried to kill an evil person, It would still get called evil. But in old mythologies this was not the way evil was described. In old mythology evil was cunning and wicked and that which destroyed it was considered venom not evil. Venom wasn't labeled evil in ancient tribal cultures of India, Egypt, Aztec, Africa, Maya etc. There was a certain Intimidating quality to this venom shown in depictions of Snake In India, Kali and Mahakali, serpent gods in Egypt and Azteca, Crocodile, Hippo, dragon gods, and Voodoo. Such cultures regarded them as deities although not equivalent to God but fearsome and Intimidating and regarded them with respect. Annoying these Gods was asking for trouble. Why did such thoughts and beliefs exist? Although with modern Christianity sweeping across the planet, such beliefs have become non existent, even mocked. But I have deep respect for old cultures. It seems like they understood reality better than us because they were closer to it in a more animalistic sense. They got the chance to experience the reptilian brain better than us. Yeah, I get that they were very superstitious and that's the bad part. But the good part is that there is always something to distill out of it and absorb from it.
  19. I still don't feel empowered despite all my effort. It seems Joseph affected my psyche very deeply where he nearly broke my brain. Horrible thing to do to someone. That's why I will never date again. Don't want to get traumatized by another man again in my life.
  20. So once again I was flooded with thoughts of Joseph. Which is just not good. It fills me with fear. Like every time the thought of Joseph comes, I literally get panic attacks..
