Pharaoh Seti I Offering to Amun-Ra Relief | |
|
This relief shows
Pharaoh Seti I making
an offering to Amun-
Ra. The votive object
consists of a ram
emblematic animal of
Amun. The oldest and
longest venerated
ruler of ancient
Egypt, Amun
meaning "hidden" and
Ra meaning "light"
translates to "hidden
light". The sacred
creature of Amun is
the ram with curved
horns. This image was
probably suggested by
the ram's procreative
energy, a symbol to
his aspect as a god
of
fertility. "Woserhat",
the gilded, festival
boat of Amun had a
ram's head at its
prow and stern, and
the processional
roads to his temple
were flanked with ram-
headed lions.
Pharaohs repeatedly
called
themselves "Merry-
Amun" or beloved of
Amun. Also, since the
ruler was "Son of Ra"
it followed that Amun
was father of the
Monarch. As God of
the Theban capital,
Amun attained the
position of supreme
state God. Lastly,
the God "He who
abides in all
things", was imagined
as the soul (Ba) of
all phenomena.
