Importance of the statues in the era of the Pharaohs

Was one of the creations of ancient Egyptian art, called the Pharaonic statues of kings or whether individuals or gods or animals ... Etc.. But the real significance of what he wanted from the ancient Egyptian statues? And the purpose for which made for him

We find that each type of statues has significance and meaning of a separate himself In the statues of kings and their significance for different individuals statues of gods, statues of animals

With the beginning of the ages before history, we find that the most important types of statues were small statues of clay represent some of the gods and their purpose is to worship and draw closer to these gods of different purpose of using them on the face of ancient Egyptian from the dangers, and to try to ward off this danger and the search for security and safety, such as statues of the Son of shelter or god "Anubis," the god of the cemetery and the dead and mummification, which Abdo ancient Egyptian to ward off the evil of this animal, who is looking for the bodies of the dead the whole, I think the Egyptian that he approached him and worship them by idolizing and keep this statue will stave off the evil curse for the protection of his body to Yahya again

There are other examples of statues of the gods of good and development such as the cow and which is called "Hathor"and other statues, these statues were simple baked clay, then the development of other materials of stone and bronze. Statues were simple in the details and significance of which is clear and explicit.

Then he started carving in the ancient Egyptian statues of kings, a second type, followed by the statues of individuals

It was for the statues of kings representing the Kings to the body of God after death in the sitting position on the throne, a bearded man with beard of the gods wearing the apron around the waist and the head Nemes headdress, called the mongoose, the most popular headwear with covers other differed in their forms and colors of Taj North and Red South White and double component of them together with various other covers and was keen to adorn the front Kabra snake (cobra) and Phoenix (female eagle) Ramzy goddesses garrisons of the south and north. Was the belief of ancient Egyptian King when he ascended the throne in accordance with what was similar to the priests the son of God State official (Ra) the sun and therefore is called the king title (Sa-Ra) no son of the sun, along with many titles such as (SA Ptah) no son of god (Ptah) God (dead hostage) Memphis, king of the north and the south (Nsopety) and vegetans title belongs to the gods of Egypt Alhmajtn North and South Korea, any title Horus (Horus).

The king must be represented at a young age, have no more than about 25-30 a year at most no matter what age the king and this is noted clearly during the Pharaonic era entirely from 3200 BC. Till 332 BC. M should be a statue of the king at the age of a small man with a bully macho, strong architecture, a consistent strength, with insight and Hmok the head, shoulders Unfolded, sitting in with different absolute ideal conditions, both hands on the shoulders or chest, sitting or standing

 However the study ages Egyptian kings in throughout the Pharaonic times (an old state - the State and Central - a modern state) and the era of late, we find that the ages starting from 7 years to 109 years old, such as Tutankhamun nine years and he died in the ninth century and there Ramses II from 23 to 93 In general, King Pepi II of 19 and even 109 in Queens and were between twenty and eighty-year

But they have to represent all of them in this form so that the non-ideal student of Egyptian art is believed that all statues are similar to any one person or several people frequent and there are no differences between this or that

 Means that there is a model or two models Itakerran in all statues, but this is not true With the audit in the features of statues of every king there is a difference between the features of the property for another should be that the example was keen to represent the details of the king's face carefully, otherwise this will not be the statue of the king and becomes a problem it may Loses his life, it is reasonable to accept a statue of King is not by the details of his face

But what the significance of the representation of the kings on this the ideal body and especially the young and the bully

 The answer is that the ancient Egyptians when they secure the doctrine of resurrection and life again, it was the essence of this belief that when Yahya seconds must be in this picture man the forces of muscular sound structure of Yahya life happy and enjoy life second to the fullest and this image will be eternal, ie will not grow year again, as it was in early life if he died, such as: Ramses II, for example, at the age of 91 or 93-year-old man, old man , Is not aware of anything in this world sick, sick, sick, not up to walking or standing, sitting, and can not eat or drink as it was in his youth, how would he happy life again? Will be a torment to him, and would not wish to live a second life this way and that way

So Vaatkaddoa that man will return a young man to enjoy his life a second.

But from where he came from this belief? And how the doctrine has become well established over three thousand years is the age of Egyptian civilization, a roots and sources. Here we pause

There is talk about the story of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him, he said one day in the House attended by men and women, "that man will not enter Paradise." Vzhilt The woman came out crying from the Council not enter Paradise. Sent to the Holy Prophet large cup of milk and said to her: Why are you crying? She replied: I have said that will not enter Paradise man and I am old, this means I will not enter Paradise. He laughed and said to her: for you will you are young you will not be old, Vkaber will return a young man. As well as Allekel and old-age young people, although their deaths in the different stages of the Sunni. Aware of how the ancient Egyptians of this information? That God Almighty sent when the day will once again Isorna on this body and this age?.

 As for the statues of individuals, which prevailed all the Pharaonic times in different situations and different categories of them royal writer - the commander of the Army - a priest - a senior officer ... etc.. The keenness of the statues was able to work to make a statue of himself posed in what he was doing in the world. What is the significance and meaning?

We find these statues are similar identity card or personal writer during his life he has developed a distinct social next to his property and in the society is keen on this situation and this post was made a statue of him adorns by his home during his life to boast among his family and his companions, when death should be placed this statue in the tomb to inform all of life, the second that he was a writer royal during his life to the revered and accorded the same status, in the other world, also found these statues graves, as well as the individuals and the judges and leaders of armies, they are considered such as cards and identity information from the world's other place these in their community Vinaloa same status

 The statues of the gods they represent all the gods, whether the gods grand or formal or local, which now have reached over 170 hundred and seventy god and goddess, is the embodiment of the power of the spirit of the gods Vtmthal god Amun, the God of a doctor for example, is a physical image of this God and dedicated the statues of worship, whether in temples or houses.

Thus we see that the ancient Egyptian when he wanted to serve a specific idea, whether of faith or belief or social work to make them serve in the shape of this idea and expressed clearly, explicitly and unambiguously
