𒀩 ✵ TSALMU

Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt. Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. The history of ancient Egypt occurred in a series of stable Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age.

Horus trampling Antelope form Seth

This bronze statuette shows the falcon headed god Horus trampling an antelope. The antelope, a desert animal sometimes associated with Horus's uncle Seth, is depicted in relief on the top of the base beneath Horus's two feet.

According to ancient Egyptian mythology, Horus and Seth fought over who would become king following the death of Osiris, who was Horus's father and Seth's brother.

A spear, once held in Horus's outstretched hands but now missing, would have pierced the antelope's head. The deity wears a pleated shendyt kilt with an elaborate belt and the hemhem crown.

Late Period, 26th-27th Dynasty, ca. 664-404 BC.

The head of the cow goddess Mehet-Weret, partly gilded and painted with resin, found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

Now in the Luxor Museum.

Limestone fragment with king knelt before Thoth with an offering of Ma’at, while touching the Was Sceptre, c. 1070–664 B.C.

“He who ventures courageously into a labyrinth seeking to find the truth of his life is forced by its circuitous pathways to circumambulate the center of himself, to learn to relate with it and to perceive it from all sides. He can only reach it by passing through the entire interior space of the labyrinth beforehand, by relating to all of its dimensions, and integrating them all into the wholeness of his personality. In fact, in a labyrinth all passages lead into each other, making up an interconnected whole. Uninterrupted and leaving no part out, they form the basis for life's adventure of individuation. Hermann Kern provides the following interpretation in relating such psychic processes to the figure of the labyrinth: The labyrinth is thus also a symbol of integration, individuation, of the concentration of all essential layers, aspects, and levels of meaning of a human existence. It symbolizes, among other things, the process of maturation from a one-dimensional person, fragmented into a thousand separate functions, into a rounded-out personality, composed in itself, which has found its center.” — The Labyrinth by Helmut Jaskolski Art: Mazes and labyrinths; a general account of their history and developments, c. 1922 by William Henry Matthews
