Egyptian Myths

 Egyptian Myths

Author : KUSH SANDEEP HARIANI

As I described in my last blog, our world was shaped by myths. Every historical site has something reminiscent of these myths. This incudes Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations. Obelisks and pyramids were created due to myths, and their influence can be seen even today. Why, The Washington Monument and Victoria' Needle are obelisks, and the Musée de Louvre is a pyramid. In this blog I will tell you how the world began.

At first there was a sea of nothing but Chaos, and in this Primordial soup, swam Apophis, the Serpent of Chaos. One day, from the Sea. rose an obelisk, and this was the first piece of land, and the symbol of Ma'at (Order). And from here rose Ra, the Embodiment of Order and the nemesis of Apophis. From him came two more gods, from his sneeze came Tefnut, goddess of rain, and from his breath came Shu, the god of wind and air.

There were also other gods- Sekhmet-Goddess of illness and the first Eye of Ra, Sobek-The god of Crocodiles, Bast-The goddess of cats, and the second Eye of Ra. The world of mortals separated form the realm of the supernatural, which was called the Duat. In the Duat was the River of Night, through which Ra traversed, and on its shores were places such as the Halls of Judgement(The place where human souls were judged after death), and The Land of Demons(where most demons and servants of Chaos resided).

That was all for today. Hope you liked my blog, Please share your views on it. Ta!

A SWEET DREAM Author : SHRIYANS SACHITH

  A SWEET DREAM Author : SHRIYANS SACHITH Aquaman was the movie playing when I guess I shut my eyes on a lazy sunday afternoon after a heavy meal. The mermaid was beautiful as it looked at me with its blue eyes. She had long blonde hair and a smile that made me blush. I was in deep sea surrounded by various aquatic animals, lush topographand clear water. She held out her hand and said I should take it if I wanted a tour of the underwater world. I grabbed at her hand and almost fumbled with it. She laughed at my awkwardness and I smiled back with a foolish look. 'Come' she said' and led me into an astonishing world. The air bubbles floated around me as I breathed out deep. As we sped along, I noticed various fishes of all shapes and sizes. Each of them gawked at me with bewilderment while I waved at them. The ocean-bed was laced with shells, oysters, precious stones that glittered and pebbles embedded in the white sand. Everything seemed so fresh and un-polluted and pristine
