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 MagicCaroline Seawright
Isis (Ast, Aset), unlike her twin sister Nephthys, is one of the most famous goddesses of ancient Egypt. Although it is thought that her worship originated in Africa, was nurtured and refined 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 different form with the original myths of the goddess long forgotten. Her fame quickly spread to all corners of the Roman empire. There was even a temple to Isis on the River Themes in Southwark, London!

As he lays dying, Sohrab reveals to his father that Rustum is indeed his long-lost father, through showing a tattoo with Rustum's heraldry placed on him as a child. Rustum is overcome with grief upon realizing he has killed his own son.

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.

Commencing with the fall of evil economic systems like fascism, Stalinism, and capitalism and concluding with the Trotskyist establishment of the United Socialist States of the World/Soviet Union of Socialist Republics (at the end of the Worldian Civil War), the Worldian Revolution was a series of two revolutions: the first of which overthrew governments like fascist governments, Stalinist governments, and capitalist governments and the second placed the Trotskyists in power.

The Ogdoad of Hermopolis was an ancient Egyptian creation myth centered around a group of eight primordial deities divided into four pairs - Nun and Naunet representing water; Heh and Hauhet representing infinity; Kuk and Kauket representing darkness; and Amun and Amaunet representing air. These eight primeval gods and goddesses emerged from chaos and through their interactions caused the mound of creation to rise from the waters, bringing order and setting the cycles of nature in motion. The Ogdoad held that the world was born from a cosmic egg or emerged from a lotus flower, revealing the sun god Ra and marking the beginning of time.
The document provides information on ancient Greek history, mythology, and language. It discusses the early hunter-gatherers and kings of ancient Greece. It then describes many of the major gods and figures in Greek mythology such as Zeus, Hera, Cronus, Rhea, Poseidon, and others. It also provides brief summaries of some key mythical places like Tartarus. Finally, it discusses the early development of the Greek language from Linear B to the classical Attic dialect to Koine Greek.
Ra was the ancient Egyptian sun god, often depicted as a man with a hawk's head wearing the double crown of Egypt. He was considered the ruler of all he created, including the seasons, plants and animals. In Egyptian mythology, Ra was believed to travel across the sky and underworld in solar boats, accompanied by other deities. At night, he battled the serpent Apophis who tried to stop his journey, and traveled through various underworld forms before being reborn each morning to create light, warmth and growth once more.
The document provides an overview of Greek mythology related to the underworld and ancient Greek death rituals. It describes the geography of the underworld including the Fields of Punishment, Plains of Asphodel, and Fields of Elysium. Upon death, souls were ferried across the rivers by Charon and judged by Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus, being sent to their appropriate afterlife domains. The document also outlines figures like Hades, Persephone, Cerberus, Hermes, and rituals like washing the body, the funeral procession, and burial with a coin for Charon. Notable souls like Sisyphus and Tantalus faced eternal torment for their deeds in life
The document discusses an ancient Assyrian text called "The Book of Dagon" that was originally written on parchment in the 15th century BC. It provides context about how the text was rediscovered and translated over time. The summary also notes that the document contains summaries of two parts of the original text - "The Red Scroll" dealing with formulas of demonology, and "The Black Scroll" telling of adventures of an ancient king.
The document provides an overview of classical Greek mythology. It discusses how the Greeks humanized the gods and made them more relatable compared to earlier mythologies. The Greeks created stories centered around human beings to explain nature and the world. The text then summarizes many of the major gods and figures in Greek mythology such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and the Muses. It also describes places like Mount Olympus and the Underworld. In general, the document outlines the key elements, characters, and beliefs that comprised classical Greek mythology.
Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, was killed by his brother Seth. Osiris's wife Isis searched for and reassembled Osiris's body, briefly resurrecting him. Now Osiris sits as the judge of the dead, weighing hearts on the Feather of Ma'at. Heavier hearts are eaten by the crocodile god, while lighter hearts enjoy afterlife rewards.
~~ Cats and world mythology ~~ specific info. acquired from google.com ~~Deepak Somaji-Sawant
Cats have played important roles in the myths and religions of ancient cultures around the world. In ancient Egypt, cats were associated with solar deities like Ra and were especially revered as representations of Bast, the goddess of pleasure, joy, and protection. Egyptians mummified cats when they died and punished those who harmed cats. In Norse mythology, the goddess Freyja used a chariot pulled by two large grey cats. Cats were also respected in other lands that traded with Egypt and the domestication of cats helped spread them throughout Europe and Asia, carrying their mythological associations with them.
The document provides information on figures and concepts from Greek mythology. It describes many of the major gods and goddesses like Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Aphrodite. It also discusses other mythical creatures and beings such as the Fates, Centaurs, Gorgons, and Pegasus. The myths and stories surrounding these figures are believed to provide insight into how ancient Greeks understood the world.
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.

Finally, it discusses the early development of the Greek language from Linear B to the classical Attic dialect to Koine Greek.
Ra was the ancient Egyptian sun god, often depicted as a man with a hawk's head wearing the double crown of Egypt. He was considered the ruler of all he created, including the seasons, plants and animals. In Egyptian mythology, Ra was believed to travel across the sky and underworld in solar boats, accompanied by other deities. At night, he battled the serpent Apophis who tried to stop his journey, and traveled through various underworld forms before being reborn each morning to create light, warmth and growth once more.
The document provides an overview of Greek mythology related to the underworld and ancient Greek death rituals. It describes the geography of the underworld including the Fields of Punishment, Plains of Asphodel, and Fields of Elysium. Upon death, souls were ferried across the rivers by Charon and judged by Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus, being sent to their appropriate afterlife domains. The document also outlines figures like Hades, Persephone, Cerberus, Hermes, and rituals like washing the body, the funeral procession, and burial with a coin for Charon. Notable souls like Sisyphus and Tantalus faced eternal torment for their deeds in life
The document discusses an ancient Assyrian text called "The Book of Dagon" that was originally written on parchment in the 15th century BC. It provides context about how the text was rediscovered and translated over time. The summary also notes that the document contains summaries of two parts of the original text - "The Red Scroll" dealing with formulas of demonology, and "The Black Scroll" telling of adventures of an ancient king.
The document provides an overview of classical Greek mythology. It discusses how the Greeks humanized the gods and made them more relatable compared to earlier mythologies. The Greeks created stories centered around human beings to explain nature and the world. The text then summarizes many of the major gods and figures in Greek mythology such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and the Muses. It also describes places like Mount Olympus and the Underworld. In general, the document outlines the key elements, characters, and beliefs that comprised classical Greek mythology.
Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, was killed by his brother Seth. Osiris's wife Isis searched for and reassembled Osiris's body, briefly resurrecting him. Now Osiris sits as the judge of the dead, weighing hearts on the Feather of Ma'at. Heavier hearts are eaten by the crocodile god, while lighter hearts enjoy afterlife rewards.
~~ Cats and world mythology ~~ specific info. acquired from google.com ~~Deepak Somaji-Sawant
Cats have played important roles in the myths and religions of ancient cultures around the world. In ancient Egypt, cats were associated with solar deities like Ra and were especially revered as representations of Bast, the goddess of pleasure, joy, and protection. Egyptians mummified cats when they died and punished those who harmed cats. In Norse mythology, the goddess Freyja used a chariot pulled by two large grey cats. Cats were also respected in other lands that traded with Egypt and the domestication of cats helped spread them throughout Europe and Asia, carrying their mythological associations with them.
The document provides information on figures and concepts from Greek mythology. It describes many of the major gods and goddesses like Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Aphrodite. It also discusses other mythical creatures and beings such as the Fates, Centaurs, Gorgons, and Pegasus. The myths and stories surrounding these figures are believed to provide insight into how ancient Greeks understood the world.

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.

Hathor, Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Love and Beauty
1. http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/hathor.html April 10, 2013
Hathor, Goddess of Love, Music and Beauty
by Caroline Seawright
October 3, 2000
Updated: November 29, 2012
Hathor (Het-Hert, Het-Heru, Hwt-Hert, Hethara), meaning "House of Horus [the Elder]", was a
goddess of many things, from the celestial to the alcoholic! She was a celestial goddess, The
Mistress of Heaven. A goddess of love, music and beauty as the Goddess of Love,
Cheerfulness, Music and Dance. Hathor was known as the Mother of Mothers and the Celestial
Nurse who presided over women, fertility, children and childbirth. Yet Hathor was also a
goddess of baser things - she was the Vengeful Eye of Ra, the Lady of Drunkeness, and a
goddess of the dead as Lady of the West. As Lady of the Southern Sycamore, the sycamore
was sacred to her. It was from the sycamore tree that Hathor was thought to hand out good
things to the deceased in the afterlife, and so she was thought to be a friend to the dead.
Her name is translated as "House of Horus", which may be a reference
to her as the embodiment of the sky in her role of the Celestial Cow,
being that which surrounds the decidedly sky-oriented hawk-deity,
Horus, when he takes wing. If Horus was the god associated with the
living king, Hathor was the god associated with the living queen.
-- Stephanie Cass (1997), Hathor
Hathor was also known as the Mistress of Life, the Great Wild Cow, the
Golden One, the Mistress of Turquoise, Lady of Iunet (Dendera, Egypt)
(her cult centre was located there), Mistress of Qis (Qusiya), Lady to the
Limit (of the Universe), Lady of Punt (perhaps an area in present day
Somalia - a famous expedition to this land was commissioned by
Hatshepsut (1473-1458 BC), of the 18th Dynasty), the Powerful One, the Mistress of the
Desert, Lady of the Southern Sycamore... and many other names, besides. She was also the
goddess of the third month of the Egyptian calendar, know in Greek times as Hethara.
An interesting story involving Hathor - all the more interesting because it
is very similar to the Japanese tale of the sun goddess who leaves the
company of the gods to sulk - is the story of Ra's temper tantrum. Baba
a predynastic baboon god, taunted Ra who stood for Set becoming
ruler rather than Horus, "Your shrine is empty!" With that, Ra stormed
off to be alone - presumably this is a story about a solar eclipse - and
refused to join the other gods. Realising that they'd gone too far, the
others sent Baba away, but still Ra refused to stop sulking. Finally,
Hathor decided on a plan. She went into Ra's presence and stood
before him and started to dance and strip, revealing her nakedness and
lewdly showing him her private parts. The dance caused Ra to laugh,
forget his hurt feelings and he once again rejoined the gods.
The reason that Hathor has so many names, one would assume, is because she is an ancient
goddess - she seems to have been mentioned as early as the 2nd Dynasty. Hathor may even
been associated with the Narmer palette - although the two human faced bovines may also
have been a representation of the king or of another ancient bovine goddess, called Bat, who
was eventually surplanted by Hathor.
It is interesting to note, though, that there is not a personal name of the
2. goddess mentioned in the list of names - they are all titles.
Hathor, Lady of Amenty, the Dweller in the Great Land, the Lady of Ta-
Tchesert, the Eye of Ra, the Dweller in his breast, the Beautiful Face in
the Boat of Millions of Years, the Seat of Peace of the doer of truth,
Dweller in the Boat of the favoured ones.....
-- The Book of the Dead, The Chapter of Praise of Hathor, Lady of
Amenty
Another interesting thing about Hathor is found in one particular
Egyptian tale - when the hero of the story was born, the 'Seven
Hathors', disguised as seven young women, appeared and announced
his fate. They seemed to be linked with not only fortune telling, but to
being questioners of the soul on its way to the Land of the West. These
goddesses were worshiped in seven cities in Egypt: Waset (Thebes,
Egypt), Iunu (On/Heliopolis, Egypt), Aphroditopolis, Sinai, Momemphis,
Herakleopolis, and Keset. They may have been linked to the Pleiades in
later times, but this is debated. Hathor herself was known as "Lady of
Stars" and "Sovereign of Stars" and linked to Sirius (the goddess
Sopdet). The day that Sirius rose (originally on the first day of the first
month, known as Thuthi by Greek times) was a festive occasion to the
followers of Hathor - it was the day they celebrated her birth. By Greek
times, she was the goddess of Hethara, the third month of the Egyptian
calendar.
Generally, Hathor was pictured as a woman with cow's horns with the sun between them
(giving her the title of 'Golden One'), or as a beautiful woman with cow's ears, or a cow wearing
the sun disk between her horns, or even as a lioness or a lion-headed woman showing her
destructive side. It was only in later Egyptian history that she was shown as a woman with the
head of a cow.
Hathor often is seen carrying a sistrum, an ancient musical instrument played by the
priestesses. The sistrum usually had the face of Hathor where the handle adjoins the rest of
the instrument. This particular instrument was thought to have sexual overtones, relating to
fertility. Hathor has a rather odd title, "Hand of God". This might be related to how the handle
of the sistrum is held, just as the relationship of the loop ajoined to the handle (the naos) might
be related to her title of "Lady of the Vulva"!
Hathor was also known as the "Great Menat". The menat, a necklace
with a special counterweight, is not actually jewelry - it is a musical
instrument sacred to Hathor! The counter piece is similar to the fertility
dolls found in ancient tombs, while the beaded necklace was believed to
represent the womb. It was held in the hand and rattled to convey the
blessing of the goddess.
Hathor was also the "Lady of Greenstone and Malachite" and "Lady of
Lapis-Lazuli", presiding over these materials as well as being a goddess
of the fringes where they were mined. (Malachite is a banded light and
dark green semi-precious stone that was ground up and mixed with eye
make up. Lapis-lazuli adorned many pieces of ancient Egyptian jewelry.
This fits in well with Hathor's role of a goddess of beauty.) She was a
goddess of the west, and a goddess of Punt and Sinai and so was a
goddess of far off places. This is perhaps why Hathor was also known
as the "Lady to the Limit" - the Egyptians believed her to be a goddess who ruled over the
known universe!
3. My majesty precedes me as Ihy, the son of Hathor I am the male of masculinity ....... I escaped
from her blood, I am the master of the redness.
-- Rundle Clark (1960), Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt, p. 88
But it is the following tale for which Hathor is most remembered today:
The Eye of Ra
One of the tales of Hathor was how she was originally a goddess of destruction (Hathor-
Sekhmet), and how she came to be the goddess of happier things:
Then Ra took on the shape of a man and became the first Pharaoh,
ruling over the whole country for thousands and thousands of years,
and giving such harvests that for ever afterwards the Egyptians spoke
of the good things "which happened in the time of Ra".
But, being in the form of a man, Ra grew old. In time men no longer
feared him or obeyed his laws. They laughed at him, saying: "Look at Ra!
His bones are like silver, his flesh like gold, his hair is the colour of lapis
lazuli!"
Ra was angry when he heard this, and he was more angry still at the evil
deeds which men were doing in disobedience to his laws. So he called
together the gods whom he had made - Shu and Tefnut and Geb and
Nut - and he also summoned Nun. Soon the gods gathered about Ra in
his Secret Place, and the goddesses also. But mankind knew nothing of
what was happening, and continued to jeer at Ra and to break his
commandments. Then Ra spoke to Nun before the assembled gods: "Eldest of the gods, you
who made me; and you gods whom I have made: look upon mankind who came into being at a
glance of my Eye. See how men plot against me; hear what they say of me; tell me what I
should do to them. For I will not destroy mankind until I have heard what you advise."
Then Nun said: "My son Ra, the god greater than he who made him and mightier than those
whom he has created, turn your mighty Eye upon them and send destruction upon them in the
form of your daughter, the goddess Sekhmet."
Ra answered: "Even now fear is falling upon them and they are fleeing into the desert and
hiding themselves in the mountains in terror at the sound of my voice."
"Send against them the glance of your Eye in the form Sekhmet!" cried all the other gods and
goddesses, bowing before Ra until their foreheads touched the ground.
So at the terrible glance from the Eye of Ra his daughter Sekhmet came into being, the fiercest
of all goddesses. Like a lion she rushed upon her prey, and her chief delight was in slaughter,
and her pleasure was in blood. At the bidding of Ra she came into Upper and Lower Egypt to
slay those who had scorned and disobeyed him: she killed them among the mountains which lie
on either side of the Nile, and down beside the river, and in the burning deserts. All whom she
saw she slew, rejoicing in slaughter and the taste of blood.
Presently Ra looked out over the land and saw what Sekhmet had done.
Then he called to her, saying: "Come, my daughter, and tell me how you
have obeyed my commands."
Sekhmet answered with the terrible voice of a lioness as she tears her
prey: "By the life which you have given me, I have indeed done
vengeance on mankind, and my heart rejoices."
4. Now for many nights the Nile ran red with blood, and Sekhmet's feet
were red as she went hither and thither through all the land of Egypt
slaying and slaying.
Presently Ra looked out over the earth once more, and now his heart
was stirred with pity for men, even though they had rebelled against him.
But none could stop the cruel goddess Sekhmet, not even Ra himself:
she must cease from slaying of her own accord - and Ra saw that this could only come about
through cunning.
So he gave his command: "Bring before me swift messengers who will run upon the earth as
silently as shadows and with the speed of the storm winds."
When these were brought he said to them: "Go as fast as you can up the Nile to where it flows
fiercely over the rocks and among the islands of the First Cataract; go to the isle that is called
Abu (Elephantine) and bring from it a great store of the red ochre which is to be found there."
The messengers sped on their way and returned with the blood-red ochre to Iunu, the city of
Ra where stand the stone obelisks with points of gold that are like fingers pointing to the sun. It
was night when they came to the city, but all day the women of Iunu had been brewing beer as
Ra bade them.
Ra came to where the beer stood waiting in seven thousand jars, and the gods came with him
to see how by his wisdom he would save mankind.
"Mingle the red ochre of Abu with the barley-beer," said Ra, and it was done, so that the beer
gleamed red in the moonlight like the blood of men.
"Now take it to the place where Sekhmet proposes to slay men when the sun rises," said Ra.
And while it was still night the seven thousand jars of beer were taken and poured out over the
fields so that the ground was covered to the depth of nine inches -- three times the measure
of the palm of a man's hand-with the strong beer, whose other name is "sleep-maker".
When day came Sekhmet the terrible came also, licking her lips at the
thought of the men whom she would slay. She found the place flooded
and no living creature in sight; but she saw the beer which was the
colour of blood, and she thought it was blood indeed -- the blood of
those whom she had slain.
Then she laughed with joy, and her laughter was like the roar of a
lioness hungry for the kill. Thinking that it was indeed blood, she
stooped and drank. Again and yet again she drank, laughing with delight;
and the strength of the beer mounted to her brain, so that she could no
longer slay.
At last she came reeling back to where Ra was waiting; that day she had
not killed even a single man.
Then Ra said: "You come in peace, sweet one." And her name was changed to Hathor, and her
nature was changed also to the sweetness of love and the strength of desire. And henceforth
Hathor laid low men and women only with the great power of love. But for ever after her
priestesses drank in her honour of the beer of Iunu coloured with the red ochre of Abu when
they celebrated her festival each New Year.
