The god of malice

As many of you probably know, "Seth" is the name of the god who symbolizes the evil. (He is also known as the god of war) And "Horus" is the one who killed Seth, in order to avenge his devoted father that Seth has murdered to maintain his rulership in Egypt.

Now things get a bit complicated in evillious here, because Seth and Horus are literally the same person, but something came to my mind after I found about those gods' doings.

In the crime novel Seth was disguised as "Horus". We saw a fake death of "Horus" and Seth stopped his disguise after that. Since the Seth symbolized evil and Horus defeated him according to the myth, but in ec Seth countinues to live while Horus doesn't. So the evil set free as there was none to defeat it, and even Horus was actually Seth himself. How ironic, isn't it?

Seth or Set, Ancient Egpytian god.

Horus the son of Osiris and Isis.

Death on the Nile

The night passed without much incident as the boat powered upstream (and further south) towards Edfu. A shame really, as I had been busy practicing my faux French Belgium accent to impress upon the others in my tour group of my deductive ability as a modern day Asian woman version of Poirot.

“Zere ‘as been a murderrr!!”

Alas, it was not to be.

In fact, the only ‘death’ to truly be considered on the cruise was the dearth of free wifi, leaving many of the older guests with nothing to do. Thankfully, I am easily entertained if presented with a book. And I had also packed my Nintendo Switch OLED with me, jam-packed with hundreds of tracks from the Final Fantasy franchise - for which, Ansem did not share in my entusiasm and fell a few pegs down in the rankings of a potential future beau - which meant I had all the things I needed to keep my interest from flagging. That and my trust journal (from which this blog post derives from. Go me!)

I suppose I should also give a review of the Jaz Celebrity, the ship that we were on, but I doubt you, dear readers care too much for a floating hotel. Yes, it featured a pool on the upper decks and a bar on the second floor but given the proclivities of a large group of mostly elderly Chinese woman, including Popo, their primary interests were mostly napping, trying to get a decent signal to post things on WeChat and heading to the dining hall for the required three meals per day.

The only people that I witnessed frequenting the sun deck and the bar were the cruise ship’s other guests. Namely, the guests that had come from France and Spain. Never in my entire life have I heard so much ‘merci’ and ‘d’accord’ in my life on a daily basis.

Anyways, back to old decrepit ruins!

Our first destination for the day, after arriving at Edfu, was a visit to the Temple of Horus. Despite its distance from the Nile, it too had been buried by desert sand until it was later excavated in the late 1800s. It was so buried, in fact, that passing travellers that had set up camp had stained the very top of the Crecian columms (done in either Ionic or Corinthian style according to my untrained eye) black.

Ahmed, our erstwhile local guide pointed all this out for us before explaining a little bit of Ancient Egyptian mythology. But, I must admit that I was tickled pick by the story he chose to tell. For it was the love story of Osiris and Isis. As well as the very jealous and covetous Set (or Seth based on alternate spelling). And time, though, I was used as a prop to the narrative our guide was telling the other guests. In fact, I played Seth’s wife, Nephthys!

In any case, the story Ahmed told was how Set was jealous of his brother, Osiris, and had a sarcophagus built in just the right size to fit his brother. He asked the other Gods to try to fit inside during a party, with Osiris being the only one that could fit snugly inside. When Osiris was ensconced inside, Set shut the lid and tossed his brother into the Nile. He later then recounted the subsequent butchering of Osiris into 14 different parts (representing the 14 regions of Egypt at the time).

He had to tell this story, of course, to explain the birth of Horus, the son of Osiris, and the very reason for the temple we stood in.

Crammed full of tourists from all over the world, we were able to squeeze our way to a few key areas, snap a few photographs and learn a little more about one of the oldest civilisations known to man. Such as the fact that they had wi-fi! Okay, the last was a joke. The Ancient Egyptians did NOT have wi-fi but one of their hieroglyphs (supposedly to denote racks of meat) looked very much like the current symbol we use to express the internet.

By 9:30AM, we were back on the cruise ship and headed to Kom Ombo. To while away the hours, I lounged around the ship, read a few pages of my book: The Silk Roads: A New History of the World (mostly to appear smart and learned) and played a few select songs from the Final Fantasy franchise.

After a hefty lunch and some afternoon tea on the sun desk, our ship finally pulled into Kom Ombo and most of the tour group disembarked to take a gander inside.

Unlike most other temple Kom Ombo was dedicated to two gods. Horus and Sobek. The story here was that Horus and Sobek were meant to represent the body and the mind. Sobek, our great crocodile-headed God was displeased by the offerings that were provided to him. As such, he and Horus had a disagreement which resulted in Ra flying off alone. Left alone, Sobek began demanding more and more from the local populace until they realised that in searching for gold and jewels to appease the gold, they had not planted the next harvest and would starve to death. Desperate, they prayed to Sobek for aid, but being a representation of mental fortitude, Sobek was unable to bequeath the people the physical strength needed to labour underneath the harsh sun.

Seeing no recourse, Sobek was then forced to beg Horus for assistance. When Horus returned, granting the people the strength they needed to farm the land and survive the winter, Sobek was grateful and agreed to share the Temple again with his fellow god.

The moral, therefore, at the end, was that a healthy balance was required between body and mind. It also encourages people to listen to both sides of a story before passing judgement. And it was also something a lesson in moderation. For too much indulgence can lead to sloth, but too much labour with too little rest can also prove detrimental to one’s body.

That aside, Kom Ombo is also famous for its depictions of surgical tools. There was even a specific hieroglyph of the ‘correct’ form for birthing a child!

Such discoveries have helped inform our understanding of this ancient world and how it functioned. For the Ancient Egyptians were not so different to who we are now, except maybe they were far smarter than we ever thought possible. Indeed, a lot of what I’ve learned and seen with my own two eyes will prove invaluable in constructing the fantastical worlds I want to create in a so-called fantasy setting.

I do, after all, have a story planned in my head with the central setting a city in the desert. Now, I have the first-hand experience to help me build it!

So, stay tuned, dear readers, one and all for further observations from good ol’ Kyndaris of Ancient Egypt and beyond.

Oh, and there was also a crocodile museum! With mummified remains! How crazy is that? Clearly dissection was not something that only came about in the 17th-18th century and anatomy was clearly something people in the ancient past were already exploring.

Denderah - Carvings with Cleopatra VII and her son Ptolemy XV Caesar

The colossal carving of Cleopatra VII Philopator (51-30 BC) and her son Ptolemy XV Caesarion (44-30 BC) before the gods, on the south exterior wall of Temple of Dendera. The large goddess on the right, the first of a procession of deities not included in the photograph, is Hathor. The present temple at Dendera is essentially a Ptolemaic structure, with the exception of the mammisi (or 'birth house') erected by Nectanebo I (380-362 BC), which represents the earliest surviving structure of the complex, and later Roman additions, such as the first hypostyle hall, built by the Emperor Tiberius (42 BC-AD 37). There is evidence, though, that the temple was built on the site of a previous one, dating at least from the early New Kingdom (around 1500 BC) with suggestions of structures being present in the area at the time of Pepy I (2321-2287 BC). The temple, one of the best preserved in Egypt, is dedicated to Hathor. The goddess is usually represented as a cow, often with the solar disc between the horns, in human form with, similarly, the solar disc between cow horns, such as in this case, or as a woman with cow’s ears. Her name means ‘house of Horus’ and, as the living king was identified with Horus, Hathor was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who had ‘son of Hathor’ as one of his royal titles. It is then certainly not a coincidence that Cleopatra decided to have this colossal scene carved onto a wall of the temple of Hathor.
