Sinopsis

In a group of five pyramids at Sakkara, the tombs of Egypt?s Fifth- and Sixth-Dynasty pharaohs, whoruled from about 2650 to 2475 B. C, is preserved as the largest body of inscriptions known anywherefrom that remote age. These mortuary and religious texts not only present through their allusions aninvaluable commentary on early Egyptian civilization, but they reveal the earliest discernible phases ofman?s thoughts on the great problems of cosmic origin and human destiny. Here lie the occurrences ofdivine names and epithets. Differentiation of independent deities from the mass proved a ratherarbitrary matter. Not only do various types of supernatural beings appear, from the great. Cosmicpowers down to representative of the animal and vegetable world geographic incarnations, and eveninanimate objects. These texts shed light on The most detailed myth traceable is that which records howHorus was born to Isis in Khemmis, fought with Set in his young manhood, and after recovering hiseye? which Set. had taken and swallowed, bestowed it upon his father Osiris. The judicial proceedingsthat ensued at Heliopolis seem to have been a trial of Horus himself or, again, concerned the eye. Theyresulted in any case in the defeat of Set.
