EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving of an ancient Egyptian calendar offers a glimpse into the intricate and mystical world of Egyptian mythology. The illustration features the powerful god Osiris, depicted with a key and whip symbolizing his role in unlocking the fruits of the earth and regulating the course of nature. A scorpion at his feet signifies that the year begins when the sun is in that constellation, highlighting the importance of celestial alignment in ancient Egyptian culture.
In the center of the image stands Isis, marking the date of a significant gathering known as "the great Assembly of the People." On one side, Anubis represents the early morning rising of Sirius, also known as the Dog Star. Meanwhile, on the far left, we see a watchful Sphinx overlooking its shoulder and awaiting the inundation of Nile River.
This detailed engraving not only serves as a visual representation of timekeeping in ancient Egypt but also provides insight into their religious beliefs and connection to nature. Each element within this artwork tells a story about how Egyptians perceived their place in relation to celestial bodies, seasons, and natural phenomena. It is truly a fascinating piece that invites viewers to explore and appreciate Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
