Taweret
Taweret ( t3‐wrt , “the great one”) was a goddess who protected women and children during Childbirth. She was depicted as a composite of a hippopotamus, crocodile, and lioness, and was often shown with the hieroglyphic sign sa , meaning “protection.”
Sobek
Sobek ( sbk , Greek: Souchos ) was a deity with diverse attributes and cult centers, mainly portrayed as a Crocodile or a man with a crocodile head. He was associated with fertility and the abundance of the annual Nile floods, as well as with royal power.
Atum
Atum ( Itm ), often called “Father of the Gods,” was the first god of creation and head of the Ennead (initial nine gods) in the Heliopolitan tradition. He was most often depicted in the likeness of a king, as a fully human man wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, though with a uniquely‐shaped beard. Atum's principal geographic centers were at Heliopolis and Pithom ( Per‐Tem ).
Meir
Meir is the Arabic name of a site in Middle Egypt, near which tombs of the local administrators of the Old and Middle Kingdoms are located. The site is about 7 km west of the ancient town of Cusae, which was the capital of the fourteenth Upper Egyptian Nome.
Tefnut
Tefnut ( Tfnt ) was the first female deity in the Heliopolitan cosmogony.
Ka
The ka was an aspect of the person related to one's character, nature, and way of thinking.
Meshkent
Meshkent was an ancient Egyptian goddess who protected women and children during childbirth, and was the personification of the magical birthing bricks (also called Meshkent ), on which woman in labor woulds quat.
Nome
Nome is the Greek word used to describe an ancient Egyptian administrative district ( sepat in Egyptian).
Min
Min (Egyptian: Menu), one of the oldest Egyptian deities, was associated with fertility, especially male potency. The Eastern Desert was also associated with this god, particularly the deserts to the East of Akhmim and Coptos, which were the chief cult centers for Min.
Fate, Pharaonic Egypt
The concept of fate in ancient Egypt seems most closely related to the word shau, something fixed or ordained by a god. Several aspects of a person's life were believed to be ordained at birth, including one's profession, social status, level of wealth, and the time and nature of one's death.
Cenotaphs
The term“cenotaph” is borrowed from classical archaeology, where it refers to an empty tomb erected for a person whose body was missing or who died away from home. However, in Egyptology the term is used rather loosely for structures of a funerary nature that did not contain an actual burial, including Ka‐chapels, secondary tombs, and symbolic tombs of deities. These different types of structure embodied different concepts and no single word in E…
