ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SYMBOLS
Life in ancient Egypt was a fusion between the spiritual and the physical aspects of their culture in the form of artistic architecture, symbols, amulets and many objects that were used to bring good fortune and protection. These Symbols played a vital role into passing the culture from one generation to another, as they were written on temple walls and obelisks and used in magical and religious rituals for both the living and the dead. They were depicted in the form of hieroglyphs and treated as “The Words of Gods” used to document the most important events in ancient Egyptian History, their spiritual believes and culture.
