古埃及符号

Amenta

This symbol represents the Underworld or Land of the Dead. Originally it meant the horizon of the sun set. Later, it became the symbol of the west bank of the Nile, where the sun set and also where the Egyptians traditionally buried their dead.

阿门塔

这个符号表现了阴间或死亡陆地。最初它意味太阳落下的地平线。后来，它成为尼罗河西岸的符号，在那里太阳落下而也是埃及人传说上埋葬他们死者的地方。

Akhet

This symbol represents the horizon from which the sun emerged and disappeared. The horizon thus embodied the idea of both sunrise and sunset. It is similar to the two peaks of the Djew or mountain symbol with solar disk in the center. Both the beginning and the end of each day was guarded by Aker, a double lion god. In the New Kingdom, Harmakhet ("Horus in the Horizon") became the god of the rising and setting sun. He was pictured as a falcon, or as a sphinx with the body of a lion. The Great Sphinx of Giza is an example of "Horus in the Horizon".

Akhet

这个符号表现了地平线，自地平线上太阳显现和消失。这样地平线就具体表达了既是日出又是日落的想法。它类似Djew的两个山峰或以太阳圆盘为中心的山脉符号。Aker守护的每一天开始和结束，一双重狮神。在新的王国Harmakhet（“在地平线的何露斯”）成为了正在升起和落下的太阳神。他是猎鹰的化身，或具有狮子身体的[希神]斯芬克斯(有翼的狮身女怪, 传说她常叫过路行人猜谜, 猜不出者即遭杀害)。伟大的吉萨斯芬克斯就是“在地平线的何露斯”的一个例子。

[女尸注：洪水季（Akhet）、冬季（播种季，Peret）和夏季（收获季，Shemu）。不知有何关系]

Ankh

Symbol of eternal life. The gods are often seen holding an ankh to someone's lips this is considered to be an offering of "The Breath of Life". The breath you will need in the afterlife.

T形十字章(古埃及生命的象征)

永生的符号。经常看见众神握着T形十字章至某人的嘴唇，这被认为是“生命气息”的献祭。你将要在死后需要这气息。

Ba

The Ba is what we might call someones personality. It would leave the body at the time of death. During the days the Ba would make itself useful, at night it would return to the tomb. At this time, it would look for the person to which it belonged. This would be the mummy, however, often the egyptians would supply the Ba with a statue in the likeness of the deceased in case the mummy was lost or damaged.

Ba

Ba可以称为某人的个性。在死亡时它会离开肉体。在白天Ba会使它自己有用，在晚上它就回到坟墓里。在这时，它会寻找它居住的身体。这可以是木乃伊，然而常常埃及人会提供象死者的雕像，在这情形下木乃伊就失去了或损坏了。

Canopic Jars

During mummification the internal organs were removed and placed in four containers. These containers often have human or animal-headed stoppers. The word, canopic, comes from the Greek name of the local god of Canopus in the Nile delta, who was represented as a

human-headed pot. Canopic jars can be made of limestone, alabaster, wood, pottery, or even cartonnage.

有罩盖的罐

在木乃伊化期间内脏被摘除放进四个容器内。这些容器经常具有人或动物头形的塞子。有罩盖的这个词，从在尼罗河三角洲本地Canopus神希腊名称演变而来，她是以人头形罐那样去表现。有罩盖的罐可以由石灰石、石膏、木头、陶器、甚至是cartonnage做成。

The heads of the canopic jar represented the Four Sons of Horus
