Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you have a day that is full of interesting experiences! Today I would like to write about the symbolism in Egypt and hope you are able to expand your knowledge.
You can see the ankh symbol here, which was a well-known symbol in ancient Egypt where it was also depicted as a hieroglyph and is also a symbol of eternal life and is associated with a deep symbolism. In ancient Egypt, it was also a symbol of the gods and it has an important meaning in mythology and in ancient works of art, you can often see gods holding it in their hands or handing it to someone and it is assumed that in this context it was also considered a sign of strength that had just been given by the gods to give others eternal life and in mythology, it was also associated with the afterworld. Various ancient discoveries show how important the meaning of this symbol was for the ancient Egyptians and how important it was in relation to religion and the Egyptians also used it in everyday life because it was thought that this power could also be used to heal other people and it was particularly used by doctors or priests and has become an important symbol in the medicine of ancient Egypt. It is also considered a symbol of fertility or protection and the exact origins of the symbol are often very controversial and it is thought that there may be a reference to the goddess Isis and that it was already common in the early dynasties, although it is not entirely clear where the exact origins are. Some rulers also thought that ankh could help them strengthen the monarchy and that is why it was often worn by pharaohs or kings and it is also associated with a profound symbolism such as the duality of different opposites and it was also an important symbol of secret knowledge or wisdom and there are also some connections to alchemy and also in modern times, it has established great importance.
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about symbolism! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
