EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Symbol of Divine Protection: The Sacred Goose and the Sun at the Karnak Temple Complex, Egypt" This relief, hailing from the ancient Egyptian civilization's New Kingdom era, showcases a mythological scene at the renowned Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt. The intricately sculpted frieze, adorned with hieroglyphs and hieratic symbols, presents a sacred goose standing beside the sun disc. The goose, a revered bird in ancient Egyptian mythology, was believed to be a symbol of the goddess Ma'at, the goddess of truth, justice, and order. The goose was also considered a sacred creature that laid the cosmic egg from which the sun was born each day. The circular sun disc, a common motif in Egyptian art, represents the all-powerful sun god, Ra, who was believed to have created the universe and governed the cycles of life and death. The sun disc is encircled by a series of hieroglyphs and ideograms, which serve as phonograms, conveying the sacred names and titles of various deities. The relief's intricate design and symbolism reflect the advanced artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Karnak Temple Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the rich history and historical significance of Egypt. This relief is a stunning example of the mythological and symbolic artistry that flourished during the New Kingdom, a period of great artistic and architectural innovation in ancient Egypt. The sacred goose and the sun disc continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty and the profound insights they offer into the beliefs and values of this ancient civilization.
