[Narmar prayer_صلايه نعرمر]
✒Written by: Rema Fayez
▪︎ It dates back to the beginning of the First Dynasty around 3100 BC.
▪︎ Its length is 64 cm, and its width is 42 cm.
▪︎ Made from green schist stone, the Egyptians used it to record their historical events.
▪︎It was discovered in the remains of a temple in the ancient state in Hierakonpolis (now known as Kom al-Ahmar) near Edfu.
1️⃣In the first face: From the top of the prayer, we find two faces of the goddess Hathor, and between them is a scroll with the name of King Narmer written on it.
▪︎ In the middle, we find the king depicted in a large figure, wearing the white crown, which is the crown of the north, and holding a spear with which he strikes one of his enemies.
▪︎ Behind him, he depicted a shoe holder, and in the front, the god Horus was depicted in the form of a falcon carrying the head of one of the captives, and his body was in the form of the sign of the earth, from which a papyrus plant emerges, as evidence that he is from the north. The depiction of Horus in the inscription here indicates that he is offering the North Delta to rule it and extend his influence over it.
▪︎ Below the prayer , we find 2 of the sacrifices running away and looking behind them to indicate fear of what they are running away from.
2️⃣In the second aspect: we find a depiction of the two faces of the goddess Hathor at the top of the prayer hall, and between them is the stage.
▪︎ In the middle, we find the king walking in the victory parade wearing the crown of the south, which is the red crown, and behind him is a slipper holder, and in the front, his most senior minister, and above him is a sign (st) to indicate that he is a minister, and in front of the minister walk the flag bearers.
▪︎ On the far right are pictures of the prisoners with their heads cut off and placed between their feet, with all feet facing each other except for two of them, who are likely commanders from the north.
▪︎ In the middle of the prayer, there are pictures of two huge animals with their necks intertwined, and this is evidence of the monotheism of Upper and Lower Egypt .

[ Saqqara Serapeum📍🇪🇬]

Written by✍️ : Tour guide_Rema Fayez

▪︎It is located in the Saqqara antiquities area in Lower Egypt.
▪︎ It is called the Cemetery of the Sacred Calves, which was dedicated to the Apis calf, which was worshiped as a calf during a period of time, then was mummified and buried there.
▪︎The history of the Serapeum dates back to the 18th Dynasty in the Late Era.
▪︎ Serapeum was discovered in 1851 AD by Auguste Mariette.
▪︎The Serapeum was carved up to a depth of 380 meters underground, then corridors and side rooms, numbering 24 rooms, were made.
▪︎Each room contained a coffin made of black granite, basalt, and stone.
▪︎ The weight of one coffin with the lid reaches more than 100 tons.
▪︎ The Ibis calf was mummified in the same manner as the ancient Egyptians mummified the dead, except for one method, which was that it was not wrapped in linen. ▪︎ Some mummies of the Apis calf were found intact and are preserved in the Egyptian Museum to this day. ▪︎The Serapeum is one of the miracles that occurred on the land of Egypt. It is a miracle of astonishment and beauty.
▪︎If there are seven wonders of the world, then Sasserapium of Saqqara is considered the eighth of the wonders.
▪︎ And here remains the question that has puzzled everyone and scientists, which is that how were the ancient Egyptians able to carve a place of such magnificence underground, and how were they carving those passages with such precision and planning?!! How were they able to transport and insert 24 coffins of this size and weight into those corridors?!!!
