Egyptian Religion
In this seminar, participants will embark on an exciting journey into ancient Egyptian cosmology, examining its fundamental structures, from the myths of creation and the hierarchy of gods and goddesses (such as Ra, Osiris, Isis, and Horus) to the central concept of Maat (cosmic order, truth, and justice). Burial practices and beliefs about the afterlife, the soul, and the roles of Ka and Ba will be analyzed in depth, offering a comprehensive understanding of how religion shaped the politics, art, and daily life of Egyptian civilization for millennia.
