They were beloved by him and treatâ€" ed with reverence and care. Apartâ€" ments were set aside for them in the temples throughoutâ€" the country; whole cities were dedicated to them. Sacred animals were washed in hot baths, their bodies annointed and perâ€" fumed. Rich beds were provided for them to lie upon and the greatest care was exercised to give them the most comfort. The Fear of the Serpent The abject fear of the Egyptians for FREE ‘ The cults had their origin in the precarious life of primitive man when the physical conditions of Egypt were similar to those in certain parts of Central Africa today. The land was covered with forests and the ground obscured by dense undergrowth. Great numbers of beasts roamed about the forests; huge serpents of various speâ€" cies, including hosts of deadly repâ€" tiles, lived in the undergrowth, and the river was filled with great crocoâ€" diles such as may be seen even toâ€"day in the Blue Nile. When the canals dried up, the crocodiles wandered about the field at will and ate whatâ€" ever came their way. When man capâ€" tured them he tamed them, fed them‘ honey, put crystal and gold earrings ‘ into their ears, and bracelets on their forepaws. After death he embalmed their bodies and buried them in vaults. “ Worship Because of Fear _ Facts now available indicate thatl primitive man worshiped animals be-l cause he feared them. They possessâ€" ed, he thought, greater strength, powerl and cunning than his own; they wereI endowed with some quality which enâ€" abled them to do him harm and to cause his death, He regarded them as the personification of the powers of evil and of death, and came to believe that he might court their goodâ€"will by offerings and prayers, for their' spirits must be appeased. " Knights‘" Meaford Flooring lt’s GOOd See your dealer Much has still to be learned of the many cults of the ancient Egyptians, though it is known that hundreds of them were recognized by theologians even in late dynastic times when aniâ€" mals, beasts, birds, fishes and reptiles lwere worshiped. The ~gyptians exâ€" tended their veneration to human beâ€" ings, to the great powers of nature, and to the large numburs of beings with which they peopled the heavens, the air, the earth, the uky, the sun, the moon, the stars and the water.

His birth was commemorated by an annual festival which lasted seven days, and during this period no man was ever killed even by a crocodile. The bull was turned loose in the courtâ€" _ The beetle or scarabaeus became the symbol of the god of creation and resurrection. It was often placed in tombs because it was thought to give potential life to the dead body upon which it was placed, provided the proâ€" per words of power were first said over it or written upon it. The idea of life appears to have been associated with the scarab from time immemorial in Egypt, for to this day, the insect is dried, pounded, mixed with water, and‘ then drunk by the women, who beâ€" lieved it to be an unfailing specific for: the production of large families. i ’ At the period when the serpent was being worshiped in Lower Egypt the vulture was the chief object of adorâ€" ation in Upper Egypt. So powerful were these two centres of worship that the kings gave themselves the title, "Lord of the Shrines of the Vulâ€" ture and Uraeus,‘ ‘to proclaim their sovereignty. â€" / Other wild animals which were worshiped by theâ€" Egypâ€" tians were the lion, the lynx and the hippopotamus.

There were many other gods for the Egyptian, which Egypt‘s conquerore adopted in time, but they never were fully assimilated by them. ‘The Asâ€" syrians and Babylonians never made them their own, and the Greeks scofâ€" fed not a little at such materialism, though they themselves used animals as symbols of their gods and godâ€" desses.
