بعض مناظر الثور حب (أبيس)‎ على بعض من توابيت العصر المتأخر في مصر القديمة

Abstract EN

The ancient Egyptian's choice of the scenes on the coffins of the late era had a lofty purpose: protection from evil and ward off dangers in the other world.

one of the most important sacred animals in ancient Egypt was the "apis" calf, which was a symbol of strength and fertility and was sanctified since the early ages of Egyptian history.

one of the most famous scenes of the calf "Ipis" that appeared on coffins of the late era is the scene of the calf carrying the mummy of the deceased on its back, heading to the other world.

the ancient Egyptian linked the calf "Ibis", alive or dead, with the deity Osiris, whom the ancient Egyptian sanctified because he believed that he was the renewed spirit of Osiris and his incarnation on earth.
