EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from ancient Egypt, the sacred new year is celebrated with reverence and joy. The new year was a time of renewal and rebirth, and was considered sacred to the god Thoth, the god of wisdom, knowledge, and the inventor of the calendar. Thoth was often depicted as an ibis bird or a man with the head of an ibis, a regional bird revered in Egypt. The new year was a time for customs and acts of devotion, as people sought to honor the gods and ensure a prosperous year ahead. The image shows a beautifully decorated temple, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful hieroglyphics. Priests and priestesses, dressed in their finest linen robes, perform rituals and offerings to the gods. Thoth, the god of the new year, is depicted in this scene as a wise and benevolent figure, holding the symbols of his power: the scepter and the ankh, the symbol of life. The god is surrounded by offerings of food, drink, and other gifts, as the people seek his blessings for the coming year. The invention of the calendar was just one of Thoth's many acts of wisdom and usefulness. He was also credited with the ability to record history, and was often depicted as the scribe of the gods. Thoth's wisdom and knowledge made him an essential deity in ancient Egyptian society, and his influence could be felt throughout the year, but especially during the sacred new year celebrations. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt, a time when the gods were believed to be intimately involved in the daily lives of the people. The new year was a time of hope and renewal, and the people looked to Thoth, the god of wisdom and the inventor of the calendar, to guide them through the coming year.
