EDITORS COMMENTS
1. "A Triumph of Ancient Egyptian Religion: A Three-Headed Monument Embodying the Past, Present, and Future This copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, based on an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, showcases three significant Egyptian monuments. The central monument is a three-headed deity, symbolizing the eternal cycle of the past, present, and future. The heads represent the gods Atum, Ra, and Anubis, respectively, emphasizing the continuity and cyclical nature of Egyptian religious beliefs. 2. The God Apis in Metal: A Revered Divinity Worshipped in Metal To the left, we find a magnificent metal monument dedicated to the revered Egyptian god Apis. Apis was considered a manifestation of the god Ptah and was worshipped as a sacred bull. This monument is a testament to the deep reverence and devotion the ancient Egyptians had for their gods. 3. The Coiled Serpent: A Symbol of Renewal and Protection On the right side of the engraving, we see another Egyptian monument featuring a coiled snake. This symbol is often associated with the god Wadjet, who was believed to protect the pharaoh and symbolize rebirth and renewal. The serpent's coils represent the protective embrace of the goddess, ensuring the continuation of life and order. This exquisite copperplate engraving, taken from Lorenzo Rocceggiani's 100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, published in Rome in 1802, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex religious practices of ancient civilizations. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving serve as a reminder of the enduring allure and influence of these ancient cultures on our collective human heritage.
