Description

The whole observable world was, for the Ancient Egyptians, a symbolic representation. From the sun and the river Nile, to the animal kingdom and even architecture, different phenomena were seen to have hidden meaningsOne of a series of volumes that introduce symbolic systems. This volume covers the symbols of Ancient Egypt. The whole world was a symbolic representation, and symbolism, at its deepest level, was the means by which the Egyptians interpreted the nature of life itself.
