Coptic Christmas is celebrated in Egypt on January 7th. Two special melodies are played during Coptic Christmas services. The shortest recorded Coptic Christmas sermon was delivered by Cyrus of Panopolis in 426-441 AD and consisted of only three sentences honoring the birth of Jesus Christ with silence. In ancient Egyptian times, presents were often exchanged in the form of amulets of the goddess Sekhmet, while modern Coptic Christmas celebrations involve gifts, food, and family.
The origins of ancient Egypt date from the Predynastic period to the Unification of Upper and Lower Egypt (5000-2920BC).
Scattered Predynastic chiefdoms become a civilisation through the imposition of order from chaos, derived from divinely conferred kingly power.
Early evidence of such rulership is found at the Predynastic city of Nekhen.
Dated to the Naqada IIC period (3600-3300BC), tomb 100 (“Painted Tomb”) is a tomb at the royal Nekhen cemetery.
From Predynastic beginnings, rulers evolved from petty chiefs vying for power to god-kings ruling over a unified Egypt.
The owner of Tomb 100 was one of the very first Predynastic kings, who helped establish a pattern for future rulers.
Through this combination of religion and the establishment of order, such kings forged the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
Ancient Egyptian Alcohol: Beer, Wine and the Festival of DrunkennessCaroline Seawright
This document provides information about alcohol in ancient Egypt. It discusses how beer was the most common alcoholic beverage, as it was safer to drink than water from the Nile. Beer was made from barley, honey, herbs and spices. Wine was reserved for the wealthy as an imported good. Alcohol played an important role in religious festivals and rituals, such as the Festival of Drunkenness held in honor of the goddess Sekhmet. The document also provides details on the production of beer and wine, the types that were made, and their uses in daily life and for offerings.
The design of an Antenna system for a Cell Extender site needs to take into account the following specific factors:
a) The systems input and output frequencies can be relatively close.
b) The Cell (output) channels are fixed, but the Donor (RF Link) radios are frequency agile, as the channel can vary from call to call (to follow the Donor sites Traffic Channel allocation).
This Document is specially written to assist in Cell Extender antenna system design. As such, it is assumed that the reader has a good understanding of standard antenna system design techniques such as filter, multi coupler and other combiner technologies, as issues discussed in this Document only relate to specific Cell Extender application aspects. Matters such as elimination of Intermod products etc are not addressed in the context of this Document - please refer to normal common standard techniques and practices for these issues.
Please note that this Document provides design "Rules" only. Experience in antenna system design remains indispensable in actual practice!
Hapi was the Egyptian god of the annual flooding of the Nile River, seen as vital for agriculture and hence fertility. He was typically depicted as an androgynous figure with large breasts and a pot-belly, representing the life-giving waters. As the Nile's flooding varied each year, Hapi was prayed to for a flood that was neither too high nor too low. He was one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt, providing both water and food for the land and people.
Anubis, Ancient Egyptian God of Embalming and the DeadCaroline Seawright
Anubis was an ancient Egyptian god of embalming and the afterlife who guided souls to the underworld. He was depicted as a black jackal or a black jackal-headed man. As the protector of cemeteries, he led souls to be judged by Osiris and defended them against evil forces. Anubis oversaw the mummification process and opening of the mouth ritual to allow souls to speak again in the afterlife. He was seen as both a protector of the dead and guardian of mummification.
In early times Bast (Ubasti, Bastet) was a goddess with the head of a lion or a desert sand-cat and was regarded as mother of Maahes, a lion-headed god, and wife to Ptah. She was usually depicted as a cat, or as a woman with the head of a cat or lion. She was also connected to Hathor, Sekhmet, Tefnut and Mut. Bast was considered to be the daughter of Atem or Ra. It was only in the New Kingdom that she gained the head of a house cat and became a much more 'friendly' goddess, though she was still depicted as a lion-headed woman to show her war-like side. As with Hathor, Bast is often seen carrying a sistrum.
Hathor was an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with many things including love, music, beauty, fertility and the afterlife. She was depicted as a woman with cow horns or as a cow wearing the sun disk. She protected women and children and was connected to the sycamore tree. One story describes how Ra sent Hathor as Sekhmet to punish humans but she got drunk on beer colored with ochre and became the more benevolent Hathor instead of the destructive Sekhmet. Hathor had many cult centers and temples in Egypt and was one of the oldest and most enduring goddesses in Egyptian mythology.

Isis, Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Motherhood and Magic

Isis, Sister of Nephthys, Mistress of Magic
by Caroline Seawright
May 7, 2001
Updated: November 29, 2012
Isis (Ast, Aset), unlike her twin sister Nephthys, is one of the most f amous goddesses of ancient
Egypt.Although it is thought that her worship originated in Af rica, was nurtured and ref ined in Egypt,
she was a popular goddess in predynastic times in the Delta area.At the opposite end of Egyptian
history, her worship spread through the ancient world by the Greek tourists the Romans
conquerors, albeit in a dif f erent f orm with the original myths of the goddess long f orgotten. Her
f ame quickly spread to all corners of the Roman empire. There was even a temple to Isis on the
River Themes in Southwark, London!
The last recorded f estival of Isis was held in Rome in 394 AD but it was one of
the last of the old f aiths to die out, surviving less f lamboyantly ... until the f if th
century AD.
-- Dr M D Magee, Christianity: Mystery Religions — Isis, Osiris, Dionysos, Orpheus
Isis was, of course, sister to Nephthys, and also to Osiris and Set, and mother
of Horus. To the ancient Egyptians, she was all that a mother should be - loving,
clever, loyal and brave. Many statues and images show Isis holding the inf ant
Horus on her knee, suckling the young god. To the Egyptians, she was the purest
example of the loving wif e and mother, and that was how they worshiped her -
and loved her - the most. In a culture where f ertility was a sign of success and
sexual attractiveness, it's no wonder that the Egyptians cherished the f ruitf ul
Isis.
She wasn't just a mother - Isis was also a great magician. She became one of the
most powerf ul magicians in Egypt when she managed to trick Ra into revealing
his secret name to her.
Thus when she wished to make Ra reveal to her his greatest and most secret
name, she made a venomous reptile out of dust mixed with the spittle of the god,
and by uttering over it certain words of power she made it to bite Ra as he
passed. When she had succeeded in obtaining f rom the god his most hidden
name, which he only revealed because he was on the point of death, she uttered
words which had the ef f ect of driving the poison out of his limbs, and Ra
recovered. Now Isis not only used the words of power, but she also had
knowledge of the way in which to pronounce them so that the beings or things to
which they were addressed would be compelled to listen to them and, having
listened, would be obliged to f ulf il her behests.
