Ancient Egyptian Symbols : 50 New Discoveries Part I: Ancient Egyptian Sacred Blue Waterlily Part II: Ancient Egyptian Sacred White Waterlily Part III: Mysterious Seth and the Eye of Horus Summary: Summarizes and Illustrates discoveries After a decade of work and many visits to Egypt and Europe to photograph and study ancient Egyptian symbols, Jonathan Meader and Barbara Demeter have just completed documenting their discoveries in book form. In it they identify the sources and meanings of more than 50 ancient Egyptian symbols, including 10 major crowns, god Seth and his mysterious head, and the Eye of Horus, perhaps ancient Egypt's most significant symbol. Many of these symbols are key to the understanding of ancient Egypt. |
