Ancient Egyptian afterlife

The ancient Egyptians have left more writings about the afterlife than any comparable society of antiquity like the famous Book of the Dead. The conviction that the individual could survive death was so deeply rooted in the Egyptian psyche that it became one of the mainstays of their culture. They believed that in order to be immortal after death your soul has to pass the journey of judgment that starts with Anubis the God of the Dead and 42 Judges who consult with the gods to determine everyone's fate. Our article here will help you to get everything about the perilous journey that the ancient Egyptians believed lay between death and the perfect afterlife.

Ancient Egyptian Language

The ancient Egyptian language has a written history of about 5000 years, which makes it one of the oldest written languages known today. Though it not used these days, the ancient Egyptian language originated and evolved through centuries to become a benchmark of oral and written communication and record-keeping in ancient times. 3000 B.C. Hieroglyphs appeared, and it was used mainly for formal inscriptions on the walls of temples and tombs, it remained in use until the eleventh century AD, making it the longest continually attested language in the world with a 4000-year lifespan. There were other related writing systems used like Demotic that was used for more than 1000 years, and Coptic language that was a combination of the ancient languages Demotic, Hieroglyphic and Hieratic.

Cleopatra’s daughter Cleopatra Selene II.

Cleopatra Selene had two full brothers, her twin Alexander Helios and the younger Ptolemy Philadelphos. Her older half-brother, Caesarion, was the son of her mother and her first partner, Julius Caesar. Cleopatra most likely planned her only daughter to marry her eldest son Caesarion. Her father also had five other children with previous wives.

Her parents, Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII, were defeated by Octavian (future Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus), during a naval battle at Actium, Greece in 31 BC. In 30 BC, her parents committed suicide as Octavian and his army invaded Egypt. Octavian captured Cleopatra Selene and her brothers and took them from Egypt to Rome, parading them in heavy golden chains in his triumph. The chains were so heavy that the children were unable to walk in them, eliciting unexpected sympathy from many of the Roman onlookers. Octavian gave the siblings to his elder sister (Mark Antony's former wife) Octavia Minor to be raised in her household in Rome.

Between 26 and 20 BC, Augustus arranged for Cleopatra to marry King Juba II of Numidia in Rome. The Emperor Augustus gave to Cleopatra as a wedding present a huge dowry and she became an ally to Rome. By then her brothers, Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphus, had disappeared from all known historical records and are presumed to have died, possibly from illness or assassination. When Cleopatra married Juba, she was the only surviving member of the Ptolemaic dynasty.

🔊 Watch with sound 🔊 Ancient Egypt inspired statement necklace hand made out of acrylic. This is it's inspiration and maker's story: One of the most mysterious and powerful women in ancient Egypt, Nefertiti was queen alongside Pharaoh Akhenaten from 1353 to 1336 B.C. and may have ruled the New Kingdom outright after her husband’s death. Her reign was a time of tremendous cultural upheaval, as Akhenaten reoriented Egypt’s religious and political structure around the worship of the sun god Aten. Nefertiti is best known for her painted sandstone bust, which was rediscovered in 1913 and became a global icon of feminine beauty and power. Our flagship piece in this collection is this impressive collar made from golden metallic acrylic with a series of concentric detailed coloured inlays in sea blue, turqouise, red and green which are exact to Queen Nefertiti's specifications. The collar is finished with a emerald green velvet backing allowing the segmented piece to take the shape of the wearer no matter what. It wears ultra comfortably and comes with a golden magnetic clasp. Size: 300mm x 300mm with 170mm inside diameter neck ~ 12in x 12in x 7in. Every piece we make is hand made to order by a highly skilled artisan maker and as such the lead time on your order may on occasion be around a week. #ancientegypt #egyptjewelry #nefertiti #pharaoh #cleopatra #queen #collar #statement #wrap #shoulderwrap #shoulderjewelry #bust #video #redgoldgreen #fashionandtextilemuseum #ftm #zandrarhodes #rhodes #ancienthistory #egypthistory (at Missj) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_E5T97gxkE/?igshid=13cxitoevlghz

The People who killed Ghadafi can never be our friends , they don't love us but our Minerals. Solutions are within us, we can only develop ourselves. He believed in his fellow Africans. The Africa History: shared; Ghadafi, one of the greatest pan Africanist. He printed images of his role models who are African inspiring leaders we should celebrate. They brainwashed you and told you all the lies in the world to paint him bad. Under Ghadafi, Libya was a prosperous and rich country and Ghadafi also ensured the stability of the whole region. For standing for the unity of Africa and standing against imperialist,they killed him in cold blood. They feasted on Tripoli and left the whole region in chaos. The rest is history. Ghadafi is an African hero. www.theafricanhistory.com #africahistory #hair #worldhistory #africa #ancientegypt #black #kemet #india #ancient #ghana #nigeria #culture #theafricanhistory #theafricanhistory #blackhistorymonth #madagascar #egypthistory #egypthistory https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd8d0BlIxKo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The 'Romanticised' fiction Vs the Brutal Truth. An amazing discovery today at Bygone Treasures. A photograph album from the first world war period showing at first family travel photographs then the move to Cairo and Alexandria. The final pages showing the sinking of the SS Ivernia by a German U Boat. Never before seen or published photos of the rescue by HMS Rifleman and armed trawlers. The real events caught on camera rather than the published colour postcards issued later. The captain of the Ivernias previous ship was the Lusitania, the very same ship that brought America into the war. An amazing find and available now to view and for sale. #cunard #cunardline #lusitania #rmslusitania #worldwar1 #ww1history #ww1 #uboat #wolfpack #submarine #submarinewarfare #royalnavy #rescueatsea #egypthistory #alexandriaegypt #historyofdivingmuseum #firstflight (at Bygone Treasures) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNp8Hz6FAIK/?igshid=a6k9zxwxhdam
