Amen and Amen-Ra, King of the gods, and the triad of Thebes. Among the gods who were known to the Egyptians in very early times were Amen and his consort Ambnt, and their names are found in the Pyramid Texts, e.g., Unas, line 558, where they are mentioned immediately after the pair of gods Nau and Nen, a and in connexion with the twin Lion-gods Shu and Tefnut, who are described as the two gods who made their own bodies, and with the goddess Temt, the female counterpart of Tem. It is evident that even in the remote period of the Vth Dynasty Amen and Ament were numbered among the primeval gods, if not as gods in chief certainly as subsidiary forms of some of them, and from the fact that they are mentioned immediately after the deities of primeval matter, Nau and Nen, who we may consider to be the equivalents of the watery abyss from which all things sprang, and immediately before Temt and Shu and Tefnut, it would seem that the writers or editors of the Pyramid Texts assigned great antiquity to their existence. <strong>...</strong></p>Budge Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis - The gods of the egyptians Volume 1urn:md5:622d476157a23fa1514733093e4899142013-04-28T22:25:00+01:002013-04-28T21:26:07+01:00balderBudge Ernest Alfred Thompson WallisEgyptMythologyReligion <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Budge_Ernest_Alfred_Thompson_Wallis_-_The_gods_of_the_egyptians_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Among the various brandies of Egyptology which have been closely studied during the last twenty-five years, there are none which are more interesting to inquire into, or more difficult to understand fully, than the religion and mythology of the inhabitants of the Valley of the Nile. "When we consider the number of works on these subjects which have been written and published, both by expert Egyptologists and by competent exponents of the science of religion during that period, such a statement may appear at first sight to be paradoxical, and many may think when reading it that some excuse must certainly be made for the philosopher who asked an eminent professor of Egyptology the somewhat caustic question, "Is it true that the more the subjects of Egyptian religion and mythology are studied the less is known about them ?" The question is, however, thoroughly justified, and every honest worker will admit that there are at the present time scores of passages, even in such a comparatively well-known religious compilation as the Book of the Dead, which are inexplicable, and scores of allusions of a fundamentally important mythological character of which the meanings are still unknown. The reasons for this state of things are many, and the chief of them may be briefly recalled here. <strong>...</strong></p>Budge Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis - Osiris & the Egyptian Resurrection Volume 2urn:md5:5cd984ca690e8a907206e60ae143243d2013-04-28T22:02:00+01:002013-04-28T21:07:41+01:00balderBudge Ernest Alfred Thompson WallisEgyptMythologyReligion <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Budge_Ernest_Alfred_Thompson_Wallis_-_Osiris_and_the_Egyptian_Resurrection_Volume_2_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

IT is impossible to state when and where the first shrines in honour of Osiris were built in Egypt, but it is tolerably certain that his most ancient shrine in the South was at Abydos, and his most ancient shrine in the North at Busiris, and that the cult of the god was firmly established in these places at the beginning of, if not before, the Dynastic Period. <strong>...</strong></p>Budge Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis - Osiris & the Egyptian Resurrection Volume 1urn:md5:2733ba95332d29f031e6d9263d73598a2013-04-28T21:59:00+01:002013-04-28T21:01:58+01:00balderBudge Ernest Alfred Thompson WallisEgyptMythologyReligion <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Budge_Ernest_Alfred_Thompson_Wallis_-_Osiris_and_the_Egyptian_Resurrection_Volume_1_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Osiris, the king, was slain by his brother Set, dismembered, scattered, then gathered up and reconstituted by his wife Isis and finally placed in the underworld as lord and judge of the dead. He was worshipped in Egypt from archaic, pre-dynastic times right through the 4000-year span of classical Egyptian civilization up until the Christian era, and even today folkloristic elements of his worship survive among the Egyptian fellaheen. In this book E. A. Wallis Budge, one of the world's foremost Egyptologists, focuses on Osiris as the single most important Egyptian deity. <strong>...</strong></p>Budge Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis - The Babylonian Legends of the Creationurn:md5:6fba4b913ec0f6e1c01d2081dbe9d8802013-01-24T15:18:00+00:002014-03-27T23:59:53+00:00balderBudge Ernest Alfred Thompson WallisAssyriaBabylon <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Wallis_Budge_Ernest_Alfred_Thompson_-_The_babylonian_legends_of_the_creation.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Discovery of the tablets. THE baked clay tablets and portions of tablets which describe the views and beliefs of the Babylonians and Assyrians about the Creation were discovered by Mr. (later Sir) A. H. Layard, Hormuzd Rassam and George Smith, Assistant in the Depart ment of Oriental Antiquities in the British Museum. They were found among the ruins of the Palace and Library of Ashur-bani-pal (B.C. 668-626) at Kuyunjik (Nineveh), between the years 1848 and 1876. <strong>...</strong></p>Budge Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis - Legends of the Godsurn:md5:e28cc0fda04228da7eb440fbcfb0935e2012-08-28T15:09:00+01:002014-03-27T23:54:45+00:00balderBudge Ernest Alfred Thompson WallisEgyptMythology <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Wallis_Budge_Ernest_Alfred_Thompson_-_Legends_Of_The_Gods_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The welcome which has been accorded to the volumes of this Series, and the fact that some of them have passed into second and third editions, suggest that these little books have been found useful by beginners in Egyptology and others. Hitherto the object of them has been to supply information about the Religion, Magic, Language, and History of the ancient Egyptians, and to provide editions of the original texts from which such information was derived. There are, however, many branches of Egyptology which need treatment in a similar manner in this Series, and it has been suggested in many quarters that the time has now arrived when the publication of a series of groups of texts illustrating Egyptian Literature in general might well be begun. Seeing that nothing is known about the authors of Egyptian works, not even their names, it is impossible to write a History of Egyptian Literature in the ordinary sense of the word. The only thing to be done is to print the actual works in the best and most complete form possible, with translations, and then to put them in the hands of the reader and leave them to his judgment. With this object in view, it has been decided to publish in the Series several volumes which shall be devoted to the reproduction in hieroglyphic type of the best and most typical examples of the various kinds of Egyptian Literature, with English translations, on a much larger scale than was possible in my “First Steps in Egyptian” or in my “Egyptian Reading Book.” These volumes are intended to serve a double purpose, i.e., to supply the beginner in Egyptian with new material and a series of reading books, and to provide the general reader with translations of Egyptian works in a handy form. The Egyptian texts, whether the originals be written in hieroglyphic or hieratic characters, are here printed in hieroglyphic type, and are arranged with English translations, page for page. They are printed as they are written in the original documents, i.e., the words are not divided. The beginner will find the practice of dividing the words for himself most useful in acquiring facility of reading and understanding the language. The translations are as literal as can reasonably be expected, and, as a whole, I believe that they mean what the original writers intended to say. In the case of passages where the text is corrupt, and readings are mixed, or where very rare words occur, or where words are omitted, the renderings given claim to be nothing more than suggestions as to their meanings. It must be remembered that the exact meanings of many Egyptian words have still to be ascertained, and that the ancient Egyptian scribes were as much puzzled as we are by some of the texts which they copied, and that owing to carelessness, ignorance, or weariness, or all three, they made blunders which the modern student is unable to correct. In the Introduction will be found brief descriptions of the contents of the Egyptian texts, in which their general bearing and importance are indicated, and references given to authoritative editions of texts and translations.
