EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to ancient Egypt, where we witness Ani and his beloved wife, accompanied by a priest, making their way through the hallowed halls of the afterlife. The scene is taken from the Twelfth Chapter of the Book of the Dead, a sacred text that guided the deceased on their journey to the afterlife. Ani, the ancient Egyptian man depicted here, is shown dressed in the traditional white linen garments of the deceased. His wife, adorned in jewelry and a beautiful headdress, walks at his side, her hand resting gently on his shoulder for support and companionship in the afterlife. The priest, clad in a ceremonial linen kilt and wearing a nemes headdress, leads the way, his arms outstretched to ward off any potential dangers. Behind the trio, we see the Seven Gates and Ten Pylons, symbolizing the various challenges and obstacles that Ani and his wife must pass to reach the afterlife. The gates are guarded by fearsome creatures, including serpents and lions, which the couple must navigate with the help of the priest and the protective spells inscribed in the Book of the Dead. The priest, who wears a panther skin, represents the goddess Bastet, the goddess of home, fertility, and protection. The panther skin symbolizes her power and strength, and the couple's wearing of the skin is believed to provide them with her protection during their journey through the afterlife. This powerful and evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history and religious practices of ancient Egypt, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of this fascinating civilization.
