The document discusses the history and symbolism of the ouroboros, a snake or dragon eating its own tail in a circle. It originated in ancient Egypt as early as the 14th century BC, representing the unity of Ra and Osiris and the cycle of renewal. The symbol persisted in Egypt and was later used in Roman magic talismans. The modern infinity symbol is a variation of the ouroboros symbolizing self-reflexivity, cycles, and eternal return.

Egyptian Hieroglyphics
A Brief slideshow presentation about Egyptian Hieroglyphics: Etymology, History and Development, and some example about Hieroglyphics; and ending the slideshow with article 1 of the human writes written in Hieroglyphics.
Egyptian Hieroglyphs
- Jean Francois Champollion was a French scholar credited with deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs from the Rosetta Stone, giving scholars the key to understanding this ancient writing system. He is known as the "Father of Egyptology".
- Hieroglyphs were a formal writing system used by ancient Egyptians combining logographic and alphabetic elements, used for religious texts on papyrus and wood.
- Some common Egyptian symbols included the ankh symbolizing eternal life, cartouches enclosing royal names, and the scarab beetle representing spontaneous creation.
Egyptian Hieroglyphics
Hieroglyphics were a system of writing developed by ancient Egyptians over 5,000 years ago to record all information they could gather. While the scripts are Egyptian in origin, the term "hieroglyphics" comes from the Greek language. Hieroglyphic writings provide insights into Egyptian history, rulers like King Tut, and iconic structures such as the ancient pyramids of Giza.
Egyptian writing
The document discusses the writing system of ancient Egypt known as hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics originated as pictorial carvings used for ceremonial and permanent messages, including on monuments and tombs, as the Egyptians believed the texts would guide the dead. Though the meaning of hieroglyphics was unknown for over 1800 years after Egypt's fall, the Rosetta Stone's discovery in 1799 and subsequent decoding in 1822 revealed hieroglyphics consisted of over 750 signs including pictures, sounds, and word combinations, and the language could be written horizontally or vertically.
Ancient Hieroglyphics
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics originated as a sacred writing system used since around 3000 BC, combining alphabetic, logographic, and ideographic elements. It was used by priests, scribes, and educated citizens in different scripts until being replaced by Coptic in the 4th century AD. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, had the key to decrypting hieroglyphics by bearing a decree in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic. It was deciphered in 1822, unlocking understanding of ancient Egyptian writings.
Ancient Egypt Writing
The document discusses writing in ancient Egypt, including hieroglyphics, papyrus, and scribes. It describes where writing was used, such as in scribe schools, fields, tombs, the army, government, and temples. Scribes were trained to read and write hieroglyphics and held important roles keeping records and communicating messages. Writing played a significant part in tomb decoration to help with the afterlife and was important for record keeping in government and rituals in temples.

This document summarizes some of the religious beliefs of ancient Egyptians based on artifacts and texts that have been discovered. It discusses how the Book of the Dead provided insights into judgments of the dead and their journey to the afterlife. Hieroglyphs on temple walls also revealed myths like that of Isis and Osiris, where Isis used magic to resurrect her husband Osiris and later their son Horus defeated Seth to become king. Archaeological sites like the Valley of the Kings containing tombs like Tutankhamun's have furthered understanding of Egyptian afterlife beliefs.
AncientEgyptianHistoryPaper
Egypt developed four scripts over time - hieroglyphs, hieratic, demotic, and Coptic. Hieroglyphs originated as pictograms and evolved into a complex writing system combining word signs, phonograms, and determinatives. Scribes became an important class who were responsible for correspondence and record keeping using these scripts. Eventually, Coptic replaced earlier scripts as the primary written language in Egypt.

The document provides background information on the Book of the Dead. It describes the Book of the Dead as a collection of ancient Egyptian funerary texts that served as a guide for the dead through the afterlife. The texts evolved over time from the Pyramid Texts carved in royal pyramids to coffin texts for elites to the Saite compilation that was more widely available. The Book of the Dead contained spells and passages to help the soul navigate dangers in the afterlife and reach the Egyptian paradise.
Leonardo Da Vinci and a Memory from his Childhood.
Leonardo Da Vinci wrote about a single childhood memory of a kite opening his mouth with its tail. Freud misinterpreted this as a vulture due to a translation error. The memory actually resembles an ancient Egyptian ritual where tools were used to force open the mouths of mummified pharaohs. While this ritual was not documented by Herodotus, who Leonardo read, it is possible he learned of it from esoteric texts like the Corpus Hermeticum or secret societies. The memory may have symbolized for Leonardo that a divine force opened his mind to genius.

Story of scripts – Part 3 Egyptian Hieroglyphs
The document discusses the history and features of Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. It originated suddenly around 3100 BC in a fully developed form, and remained unchanged for over 3000 years. Hieroglyphs were pictographic symbols that could represent sounds, syllables, or objects. They were used in monumental inscriptions but later evolved into cursive scripts for common use. The Rosetta Stone helped French scholar Champollion decode hieroglyphs in 1822 by providing a multilingual text for comparison.
EGYPTIAN TEMPORALITY IN PHAROS, THE EGYPTIAN
Egyptian culture has been transhistorically fetishized in Western literature. This is present in Antony and
Cleopatra by William Shakespeare, and reverberates in the Victorian novel Pharos, the Egyptian by Guy
Boothby. This paper examines the temporal climate of Pharos, the Egyptian, and shows how Boothby
perpetuates the myth that Egypt is so exotic that it operates on a different temporal plane than Western
countries. First, I will unpack Egyptian symbols that index the feeling of stasis via Postcolonial theory. I
will put these symbols in conversation with quotations from Antony and Cleopatra, which reveal the
historical understanding of Egypt as static. Then, I will discuss temporal inconsistencies in Boothby’s text,
which include gaps in time, fainting, entrancement, future-telling, differences in memory recall, and how
characters can be representative of temporality in their domestic spheres. Through this analysis, I
demonstrate that Egypt has been transtemporally communicated as static by British writers.
H24h introduction
This document introduces a course on the ancient Greek hero based on selected readings from Greek literature spanning from the 8th to 4th centuries BCE. The readings are available free online and include works by Homer, Hesiod, Sappho, Pindar, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Plato. The course is divided into five parts focusing on heroes in epic poetry, prose, tragedy, and Plato's dialogues. The document provides historical context, explaining that ancient Greece was made up of independent city-states rather than a single nation, and discusses concepts of religion, mythology, and Panhellenic culture that were shared across the Greek world.
All you need to know about hieroglyphics!
Hieroglyphics were sacred Egyptian writings that could have up to three meanings each. They were written on the Rosetta Stone in three scripts: hieroglyphics on top, demotic hieroglyphics in the middle, and ancient Greek on the bottom. Cartouches were oval shapes used to represent the names of pharaohs, queens and other important figures. Egyptians used over 700 symbols in hieroglyphics on buildings and tombs to represent words and sounds.
Mythology lesson 11 mercury (hermes)
Hermes is the Greek god of boundaries, travel, trade, thievery, and communication. He acts as the messenger of the gods. As the son of Zeus and Maia, he was born in a cave and fashioned the first lyre from a tortoise shell. Known for his speed and trickery, Hermes engages in humorous escapades like stealing Apollo's cattle. He later becomes associated with guiding souls to the underworld. In Roman mythology, he takes on the name Mercury and becomes a patron of merchants due to associations with trade and profit.
Ancient, Classical and Medieval Arts - Sculpture
Ancient sculpture began with prehistoric works like the Lady with the Hood statue. Egyptian sculpture used symbolism including hieroglyphics and relative size to represent gods and record events. Notable works include Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Menkaure and his Queen. Greek sculpture evolved from stiff early works to the naturalistic Hellenistic style exemplified by The Discus Thrower. Roman sculpture included reliefs on triumphal columns and sarcophagi depicting battles. Medieval works included religious themes in Byzantine art and individual devotional pieces in Romanesque and Gothic styles which began to project outward more freely.
Egyptian teachings in the light of theosophy .
The document discusses Egyptian hieroglyphs and mythology as symbols of esoteric wisdom and theosophical teachings. It analyzes the Egyptian gods Ra, Osiris, and Isis as representing different planes and principles. Ra symbolizes the highest self or Paramatman. Osiris represents manifestation on the atmic plane and the lower planes. Isis corresponds to the buddhi principle and was the vehicle of Osiris. Thoth symbolizes the divine mind and manasic plane. The Egyptian pantheon, myths, and symbols are interpreted as encodings of spiritual and philosophical concepts.
The secret symbols .
This document discusses Wayne Herschel's interpretations of lost ancient symbols and how they relate to star patterns and forbidden knowledge kept by ancient societies. It summarizes some of Herschel's key findings and interpretations, including that ancient Egyptian monuments represent the brightest stars, and that symbols like the Djed pillar and All-seeing Eye have meanings relating to stars and human origins. It also references Herschel's book The Hidden Records which explores these lost meanings of symbols.
Write Like an Egyptian!
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian art and culture from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. It describes hieroglyphic writing and various Egyptian gods. Examples of Egyptian art are given such as reliefs, sculptures, paintings, jewelry, and hieroglyphic inscriptions found on items like the Rosetta Stone. Characteristics of Egyptian art include its symbolic nature, use in tombs to depict the afterlife, and idealization of Egyptian royalty.
Egypt jena miki
Ra is an ancient Egyptian sun god. He became a major deity in Egyptian religion where he was primarily associated with the midday sun. As the main sun god, Ra was worshipped at the cult center of Heliopolis. He was later merged with other gods like Horus and Amun, and his cult declined when Aten became dominant before being restored. Ra was considered the creator of all life who was embodied by the Mnevis bull.
A much more complete Amduat Slideshare presentation
The document provides information on various ancient Egyptian gods and religious concepts. It discusses major deities like Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, Thoth, Anubis, Ma'at and their roles. Key ideas around sun worship, the afterlife beliefs involving the weighing of the heart, and the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt are summarized. Images, hieroglyphs, and descriptions of tombs, artifacts and religious ceremonies are presented throughout.
Hieroglyphics
Egyptians developed hieroglyphic writing around 3400 BC, and it was used until around 396 AD. Hieroglyphics could represent sounds or symbols and included images like the Eye of Horus. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, helped scholars decipher hieroglyphics because it included three translations of the same text in hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. Scribes were the only people trained to read and write hieroglyphics, keeping government records and writing letters.
EGYPT part 1 de Beaufort
1) Ancient Egypt was a highly stable civilization that lasted approximately 2500-3000 years due to its isolation along the Nile River.
2) The Nile River provided highly predictable annual flooding that made the soil fertile and supported Egypt's population with food and resources.
3) Early Egyptian society was divided into Upper and Lower Egypt that were eventually unified under the first pharaoh, Narmer. This began a long period of stable dynastic rule over a unified culture and religion.

1) The document discusses ancient Egyptian history, including their pantheon of gods and tradition of pyramid building for burials.
2) It provides details on 14 principal gods such as Ra, Osiris, Isis, and Horus. Gods were associated with nature, the afterlife, and kingship.
3) The tradition of pyramid building evolved from early mastaba tombs to include the Step Pyramid of Djoser and later true pyramids built by pharaohs such as Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure at Giza.The Eye and the Pyramid
The document discusses the symbolism of the pyramid and all-seeing eye found in various ancient cultures around the world. It explores possible meanings and origins, tracing references as far back as ancient Egypt and connections to concepts like the third eye and merkaba. Evidence is presented that suggests an older, more advanced global civilization may have existed, pointing to similarities in esoteric symbols and precise alignments of ancient sites across continents that would have supposedly had no contact.
Gods_Egypt_Sreerup_RC.pdf
The ancient Egyptians had many gods that represented important concepts. The most important were Osiris, the god of life, death, and fertility; Isis, the mother goddess and wife of Osiris; and Horus, the god of power and war who was the son of Osiris and Isis. Other major gods included Ra, the sun god; Amun, the king of the gods; and Anubis, the protector of the dead. These gods were often depicted as having animal heads and symbolized powerful forces of nature that the Egyptians sought to control and appease through rituals, worship, and offerings. The pharaoh was seen as a living god on earth who embodied Horus and ruled Egypt

Ancient Egypt

The Civilization of the Nile River Valley: Egypt
Geography – Isolated by deserts on both sides.
The Nile’s periodic flooding made civilized life possible in Egypt. During drought or famine, Egypt was the place to go because Egypt always has water (cf. the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis).
The kingdom was divided into two parts: Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt (Upper Egypt is in the south), with Lower Egypt being a bit more cosmopolitan than Upper Egypt.
Unlike Mesopotamia, stone was plentiful.
2
Pre-Dynastic Egypt: There is some evidence that very early on (3400-3200 BC), Egypt was influenced by Mesopotamia (corresponds to Jemnet Nasr period at Uruk). The evidence includes:
the use of rectangular sun-dried mud-brick in building,
the use of cylinder seals only during this time (Egypt usually used stamp-seals before and after this period),
pictographic writing (the “idea” comes from Mesopotamia),
the idea of kingship, social stratification and specialization,
certain kinds of painted pottery,
and pictures of twisted animals and battling with animals.
This contact may explain Egypt’s sudden explosion into a complex, advanced civilization with writing. The use of mud-brick is peculiar, noting the abundance of stone. There is evidence, however, that the development begins in Upper Egypt (i.e., the south). Two distinct cultures, the Upper, with social stratification and royal artistic expression, etc., and the Lower, with contacts in Palestine, etc.
Egypt seems to go from the Neolithic to a complex civilization overnight. Linear development is not apparent. Agriculture appears to be introduced from outside.
The Pharaoh (the king) is somehow responsible for the yearly success of the Nile. His throne was Isis, the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. The king is identified with Horus.
Egypt seeks to portray changeless continuity over thousands of years. This is somewhat true, but not entirely accurate. Ancient Egypt went through a few periods of relative chaos or lack of centralized power. Egypt, however, as is well known, chose not to usually record such periods for posterity.

Egyptian history begins with King Narmer
Narmer united Upper and Lower Egypt
He is likely the same person as Menes
Mizraim is often the Hebrew name for Egypt
The combination of the two crowns appears.
This is the beginning of the First Dynasty, and of Egyptian history
He established his capital at the new city of Memphis (= neutral ground)
It was a new city, said to have arisen out of the ground when Narmer diverted the Nile.
The royal burial grounds of Saqqara and Giza are located nearby.
The uniting of Egypt is commemorated on the Palette of King Narmer (fig. 2.3)
Egyptian artistic canon for relief figures is manifested:
head and feet in profile, with one foot forward, but eye and shoulders shown frontally (cf. fig. 2.2)
This is the beginning of Egypt’s Bronze Age
It is also the beginning of Egy.

Hieroglyphics were the formal writing system of Ancient Egypt combining logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements. Egyptian paintings emphasized the importance of the afterlife, depicting scenes to make the deceased's journey to the underworld pleasant. They were highly stylized using symbolic elements and a limited palette of pigments. Sculptures also used symbolism heavily, with gods represented as composite creatures and narratives arranged in horizontal registers. Sculptural styles realistically depicted figures in rigid postures to convey power and status.

1) Egypt under the Pharaohs was a very stable civilization that lasted approximately 2500-3000 years, in contrast to less stable Mesopotamia.
2) The Nile River valley provided highly fertile land and predictable flooding that facilitated agriculture. Major cities like Memphis developed, and two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were eventually united under one rule.
3) Some of the earliest large-scale structures were step pyramids like that of Pharaoh Djoser, but the Old Kingdom is best known for the massive Great Pyramids of Giza built as tombs for pharaohs like Khufu and Khafre. These structures reflected the importance of religion and the after

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

- 1. The Fool the Mobius, & serpent Infinity cycle
- 3. Egypt Gnostic gem from Roman-era Egypt (1st century AD), with an ouroboros surrounding a scarab and voces magicae, characters representing magic words The first known appearance of the ouroboros motif is in the Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld, an ancient Egyptian funerary text in KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, in the 14th century BC. The text concerns the actions of the god Ra and his union with Osiris in the underworld. In an illustration from this text, two serpents, holding their tails in their mouths, coil around the head and feet of an enormous god, who may represent the unified Ra-Osiris. Both serpents are manifestations of the deity Mehen, who in other funerary texts protects Ra in his underworld journey. The whole divine figure represents the beginning and the end of time.[2] The ouroboros appears elsewhere in Egyptian sources, where, like many Egyptian serpent deities, it represents the formless disorder that surrounds the orderly world and is involved in that world's periodic renewal.[3] The symbol persisted in Egypt into Roman times, when it frequently appeared on magical talismans, sometimes in combination with other magical emblems.[4] The 4th-century AD Latin commentator Servius was aware of the Egyptian use of the symbol, noting that the image of a snake biting its tail represents the cyclical nature of the year.[5]
- 4. The word infinity comes from the Latin term infinitas or "unboundedness.“ the ∞ symbol is a variation of the ouroboros snake symbol in which the snake is twisted into the horizontal 8 position while in the process of eating its own tail. The symbol represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. A suitable symbol for infinity, no?
Editor's Notes
- Ouroboros The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. While first emerging in Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism.
