CALGARY SSEA
Lecture: Ancient Egyptian Religion – An Overview
Date: 7:30 – 9:00 pm, 07-Mar-2014
Cost: Meetings are Free to members, Guests $5 – Students with ID $2
Description:
The worship of the gods and goddesses had an impact on the royal and private lives of those living in pharaonic Egypt. Have you ever wished to know a little bit more about these religious aspects?
This lecture is intended for a general audience who want to know the functions of ancient Egyptian religion during the pharaonic period. We will discuss how royal rule was intertwined with the concept of cosmic order (ma’at) and how this impacted daily ritual at temples. Also, this lecture will consider the roles of the gods and goddesses of pharaonic Egypt and how these ‘spheres of influence’ are sometimes blurred in literature. To gain a familiarity of the divine, attendees will be presented with the attributes and artistic forms of the most popular deities. To conclude, there will also be an analysis of the creation myths of the Egyptians.
