gods of ancient Egyptians ( part 1 ) ...

For thousands of years, the Pharaonic civilization has been closely linked to religion. Historians have considered it one of the most important foundations of the Egyptian civilization for more than 5,000 years and one of the pillars of the establishment and unification of the Egyptian state.

The worship of the various Egyptian gods continued for more than three thousand years. That is, the symbols of the Egyptian gods were worshiped in a time frame that exceeds the age of the Egyptians condemning Christianity and Islam together!

2800 God was almost worshiped in Egypt, as symbols of all the forces of nature .. The most important of them :

( Ra ) :

He is the god of the sun and the creator of the universe, one of the most famous gods in the ancient Egyptian religion. He is also the head of the Holy Savior, which includes gods concerned with the process of the beginning of creation.

The ancient Egyptians believe that sunset means the beginning of the daily journey of Ra, in which he travels with his holy vehicle to the underworld every evening, to fight the evil forces represented in a great snake called ( Apophis ), and then triumphantly triumphant in the high heavens every morning a new day, The ancient Egyptian consider that a sign of human emulation, also evidence of the victory of the god of Ra on the forces of chaos and evil.

(Ra) merged with several gods, including the god ( Amun ), under the name( Amun-Ra), and( Amun Ra) is the hidden face of ( Ra), and also merged with the god ( Horus), becoming( Ra-Horakhti ) when the north and south were united.

Where the cult of Ra was spread in the north, and the worship of Horus spread in the south, the priests united the gods to become one God under the name of "Re - Hor - achti", which is the image of a man with a hawk head symbol (God Horus) His head is the disk of the sun symbol (God Ra).

( Amun ) :

(Amun) is the sun god and fertility, the hidden face of (Ra), and is always photographed in the form of a man wearing a crown out with two Feathers, and the name of( Amun )means submerged or hidden , so it was communicating with him only with praying , So he had a great popularity, especially among the poor who had nothing but the worship and submission of God, at a time when the worship of the gods was spread through offerings and materialism.

(Amun )was different from all the other gods. His absence from the image and his being hidden is only spiritual. His worship is close to being a monotheistic worship. He became the only God and all the other gods, a picture of him and a reflection of him.One of the most famous titles is (Amoun Ra's) "Protector of the Road".

After his integration and reunification with (Ra), appeared in the image of God( amun-Ra), became visible and invisible at the same time, visible in the image of( Ra), which is reflected on the worshipers in the body of the sun, and hidden and mysterious and separate from the world as (Amun),

( Horus ) :

He is the god of war and justice, the son of (Isis) and (Osiris).( Horus) is portrayed as a falcon, he is titled with ( father's protector) for his revenge on his uncle (Sit) the god of evil, and after the victory of Horus in his famous battle with his uncle became a god of life and a symbol of justice.

And (Horus ) had a many titles, such as (hurus )the wise, and the Savior . (Horus ) gave his father one of his eyes for attempt to restore life to him. From that moment (Horus) eye was considered an important religious symbol for the ancient Egyptians. They called it "the eye that sees everything" and the people took it as an amulet to protect themselves from evils. For help and protection from Horus.

Tomorrow I will complete publication of the rest of gods in the era of the ancient Egyptians.
