Ancient Egyptian Coat of Arms
Copyright © 2020 MC All rights reserved
Ancient Egyptians worshiped Natural
Forces that were
represented by Animals. For instance, a Sky God would be a bird or some animal that flies in the Sky,
such as the Falcon (Horus). To worship this Falcon-God would be to influence events in the Sky, such as Rain (Tefnut), Wind (Amun,
Shu), or Lightning (Seth). So they worshiped a Statue of an Animal, and
made offerings to it. The Animal was
part of their early Feudalism
Identity like a European Coat of Arms
(Heraldry), so the image appears on wooden Shields or Armor in their Military,
and when Literacy was formed the
animals would be part of their Names of Leaders or Kings. Literacy began in Egypt for the purpose of recording these Heraldic displays as
Hieroglyphs.
Animal-headed Gods in Human form came
later as a better way
to represent the Gods in tangible form
or diagram. They do not actually look like this
in Natural Form, as they are invisible
in white light. The Animal shapes
also describe their personality.
Non-Egyptian Monotheism said “God
created humans in His Likeness” as
the religion saw Human-form Deities in Egypt and believed the human form came
first. The Monotheist God in Natural Form is a “burning bush”
(Green Fireball or Emeraldian), or a
small glowing, fiery-green ball of light that “burns but does not
consume itself,” the closest description of it.
The Hathor Tree was never shown
as burning, but she was colored green
once, as were Ptah the Creator and Lord Osiris. Egyptians never drew the Natural Form of
their Gods. Other cultures worshiped Fire, as in Ancient Persia or
Greece.
Dynastic
Egyptians had Animal “totems” as Coat of
Arms in their names or Family Names.
King Scorpion had the insect as his totem. Narmer had a Catfish as
his. Thutmose I to 4 had the Scarab + Ra
as their Family Name, while the Amonhotep Family had Maat + Ra in their names. Ramses Family had part of the Amonhotep
lineage (the Strength of Maat + Ra). By
the Ptolemaic Dynasty most were written as Greek names, with “Beloved” of this
or that Deity added.
