The true significance of Hathor in the Egyptian creeds and myth. A
Hathor the cow-goddess is among the oldest gods in the Egyptian pantheon. Hathor also was one of the most popular goddesses there as she played the role of the holy mother and the wife for many of the ancient triads of deities. Hathor also was the perfect force that "Ra" had required in order to maintain balance between his flaming heat" sekhmet" the urging power of the heat and the gentle force of appeasing "Hathor". Indeed the Egyptian myth describes both of the goddesses Hathor and Sekhmet to be the Yen and Yang. Goddess Hathor had to carry" Ra" the sun god out of the "Nun" the water as he sunk into it in order to appease its energy once he established the basic creation. Hathor the Egyptian Yen-force also had signified for the welfare, the prosperity, the wealth, the harmony and the unity. We can observe that powerful meaning in Predynastic and the archaic tablets that describe the unification trials in ancient Egypt and specifically the one belongs to king's Narmer 3200 B.C.
Starting from the Old-kingdom, 2878 B.C Hathor had become to represent the love, the joy and the maternity. Further on, Hathor was seen representing mainly the joy, the fun, the drunkenness and the fertility. The Bible and the Qur'an brought us a very similar historical tale about an ancient Egyptian king and Joseph the prophet and it mentions the king in Egypt to suffer form a successive scary visions and he panicked then asked for counseling the dream-interpreters he had and none of them could help then they released Joseph from his prison and had been able to advise the king of Egypt. The king in his dream could see seven lean cows fierce and eat seven fat cows. According to Joseph's interpretation "Egypt should expect seven years of drought and dearth where the Nile would never flood" So the Hathors will be eaten and there will be no prosperity or welfare.

The true significance of Hathor in the Egyptian creeds and myth. B
Hathor the mother goddess who protects the newly born child for seven successive days until he/she becomes healthy and safe. The myth of the seven protective Hathors is often repeated in almost every birth-chapel and always ends with the seventh-day party where gods all are invited then Hathor would present her rattle-toy to the child. Modern Egyptians had inherited many of these traditions as they still to celebrate the seventh-day birth party and invites all families and neighbors, then the seven grain-seeds should be scattered on floor of the child's house. Also the rattle-toy is presented to the children. Probably the division of the week to be just seven days world wide is after Hathor patronage. The most charming figure for Hathor is the one that represent her melting with a woman face her triangular face, elongated eyes and ears next to a woman cheeks, chin and mouth. . Copyrig ©Musegypt.

The Egyptian Museum, the funeral Labels. A
Painted by Yasser kamel
The archaic history in Egypt is featured with its sophisticated belongings. The Thini-kings of first and the second dynasties who had located their tombs mainly at Abydus are included by the Archaic Period, 3200 -3000 B.C. The most outstanding finds of those kings are the funeral labels. The funeral labels were always made out of hard materials such as ivory or stone in order to last for long, their main function according to the Egyptian creeds was to ascertain the possession of the objects that they were attached to, in addition to that, they were also incised with inscriptions that brief the status of the country or commemorate a victory or a battle. The ivory label that is shown here is a good sample to the collection we have in the Egyptian museum or the British museum or the louver museum. This label dates back to the reign of the archaic/thini king Den, 3200-3100 B.C; the label has three registers of inscriptions. In the first register, from the right the nisu sign appears to refer to the southern origin of the king then below of it appears a sign of a land or a field which had become afterwards to represent the nomes or provinces, then further down you can see a scene of surgery is the oldest been found obviously we can see a surgeon with a blade or spatula is executing an immediate Tracheotomy. This surgery is believed to be practiced in Archaic Egypt. Also we can see a flag-bearer, then two bearers one caries a bird " a vulture" while the other man bears a cat-fish, then the sign mes or mas appears above the two bearers possibly to refer to the royal title "the child of the vulture "Nakhbet" or the cat-fish goddess or both". Then just beside them there is another man who bears a mummy which seems to be a royal one and followed by another man who caries a flag-pole while heading to a structure in the form of the Serkh with Horus the falcon god right above which emphasizes a funeral that is heading to the grave. The middle register shows from the right, two seated human figures or statues for royal ones with lotus-flower head dress, then some signs of birds also a man seems to arrange some round items in front of a duck which emphasizes the idea of domesticating it or breeding it or feeding it. Then we see two last symbol-bearers one has the Serkh then the other has a stand with a figure of a bull which signs for the victory and the Heb-Sed and one more birth sign. The third one has a lot to do with the environment and Egypt nature as it shows the Nile-river, birds, fish "probably the Nile-Perch", plant "most probably a sugar-cane" and a drowned man. We only come to one specific conclusion that the ancients of Egypt even at the archaic era were a lot more civilized than we ever thought, they also were aware of the importance of recording their history and their knowledge .

Cairo museum, Seth since the beginning.
Painted by Yasser kamel
We have enough evidence that Seth cult goes back to the beginning. Seth, the god and the force of chaos , disorder, confusion, dark and evil seems to be much older and stronger than his rivals in the Nile Delta. The Egyptian museum keeps at the moment the most recent finds of the excavations in the Nile-Delta which includes a terra cotta pot dates back to the Pre-dynastic era, about 4000 BC. That pot was discovered in Tal El Farkha "mound of the bird" the tiny hand carvings represent Seth in his traditional animal shape. Copyrig ©Musegypt
