Atum Basis Crosses Daily Depicted Universe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the ancient Egyptian sun god Atum, also known as Ra or Atum-Ra, Tem, or Atum-Khuit, in his divine boat as he sails across the daily sky, bringing light and life to the universe. Atum was considered the primordial deity, the creator of the cosmos, and the embodiment of the sun's life-giving power. Egyptian mythology holds that Atum rose from the primordial waters of Nun and brought order to the chaos of the universe through his creative acts. He was often depicted as a man with the head of a ram or a falcon, and his boat, called the Bark of Millions of Years, was a symbol of his divine power and the means by which he traversed the heavens each day. The intricately decorated boat in this print is adorned with various symbols and figures representing the gods and goddesses of the Egyptian pantheon, as well as the celestial bodies of the sun, moon, and stars. The image is a testament to the rich and complex religious beliefs of ancient Egypt, which held that the natural world was infused with divine power and that the gods played an active role in the daily lives of their people. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious and artistic traditions of ancient Egypt, providing valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of one of the world's oldest civilizations. The image's timeless beauty and intricate detail make it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of religion, ancient civilizations, or the mysteries of the human spirit.
