A very old legend in Egypt told that mankind was divided into four types when they were made on the potter's wheel by the great creator Khnum. He made them all out of mud of various colors from the Nile. The order in which they were made was as follows: First was - Romut, meaning "men", and these were the Egyptians themselves. The second to come from the potter's wheel was - Ãamu, the people from the desert mountains east of the Nile. This name was later also used for Asians in general. Number three, called - Temehu, was the fair skinned people from the Mediterranean coast west of the Nile Delta and the oases west of the Nile Valley. The last to be made was - Nehesy, the black people to the south of Egypt, below the province of Nubia. Notable is that the names of these people seem to be very old and originating from the early times when the Egyptians didn't have a name for Asians, which they surely encountered well before the first dynasty as shown in archaeology remains. According to another (much younger) legend mankind was created from a tear that fell from the eye of the god Re, and turned into men and women. The fair-skinned Libyans, considered as "cousins" by the people in the Nile valley, were formed in the same way. The two other people have a tear from Re as their origin too, but in a more irregular way.




 

Ra Thoth Sobek Set Selkhet

Ptah Osiris Nephthys Neith

Maat

Khnum Isis Horus Hathor Anubis


During the height of the Egyptian civilization, these were the most prominent of the Ancient Deities that were worshipped at the time before the conversion of worshipping one God was established. Some beleive that this act was the catalyst that led to the beginning of the end of the Egyptian Dynasty


The Court in the Underworld
When a person died they were taken to the Underworld where his deeds in life were taken to the Court of Osiris for the final judgement. Since this place also was called "The Island of Fire" it's quite obvious that the Egyptians had knowledge about the burning interior of the Earth though they had no volcanoes in their own country. Before coming there the dead person had to pass a labyrinth of gates and doors and answer questions correctly to pass through. The lion-god Aker let him through the last gate and he was facing the fourteen members of the jury in the Tribunal Hall. There he was allowed to speak about his behaviour on Earth. (Shown in the upper left in the picture below). Then god Anubis took him into the courtroom presenting him the scale where his heart would be put in balance with the feather of the goddess Máat, patroness of truth and harmony. The procedure was recorded by Thoth - the god of writing and wisdom. Sometimes Thot's animal (a baboon) was sitting on top of the scale ready to adjust the result using a sliding weight.





The deceased enters from the left guided by Anubis. His heart is placed on the scale and the result is recorded by Thoth. Then Horus takes him in front of the judge Osiris for the final verdict. Behind the throne stand Isis and Nephtys

Preparation for Eternity

Anubis whose charge was to safe guard the cemetaries, also took care of the more important mummifications such as Pharoahs. Without a physical body the soul had no place to dwell and became restless forever. Poor people could only afford small clay figurines as a substitute for an embalmment.
