Look at my Log book ^_^


Hey Everyone

here are few pages of my log book 

have a look

Just tried making few of their hieroglyphic characters. 





Osiris written in hieroglyphs 
 He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and and flail.




   Thoth was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat,

Glimpse of History

The Egyptians themselves affirm that their history began with the realm of osiris. Osiris, god-king and man is remembered as a king of immense goodness and wisdom,who taught them how to profit from damage wreaked by the floods, how to keep the destruction of the dessert perticular and with the wise Thoth taught them writing and art.Thoth was one of the deities of the Egyptian pantheon, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon, animals sacred to him.

The Egyptians say that it was god Thoth who taught them writing  during the reign of Osiris.
"Osiris...was successively god of the Nile, a life-giver, a sun-god, god of justice and love, and finally a resurrected god who ruled in the afterlife....

Eyes Wide Shut

Sunlight hits my shut eyes. The insides look red. The heat, scorching. I feel a strange surface under me. It’s warm too, much warmer than my bed should be. It’s moving away as I touch it. What is happening? Where am I? Do I even dare to see where it is my dreams have taken me today? I slowly peek, too scared to even guess. I see a bright blinding light, too bright to make out. The world is white and yellow. I’m on sand. Where is this and which year is it. People walk by me as if they don’t even see, as if I’m in an invisible bubble. Follow them, I think, answer your own questions. That is the only way.

What are they wearing? I have never seen something like this before except maybe in a book. I follow them, they are going somewhere. They are walking in a line as if made to. They carry chisels and hammers. They have a task at hand. We reach a wall so high it’s apex was lost in the bright light. The walls have something on them. Pictures. In succession. Why are they there?
My vision goes blurry. What now? Familiar surroundings. I’m awake now. But what was that? What did I just see? A book lies next to me. A book about Egypt. Its cover has the same drawings I just saw. Signs and symbols of ancient Egypt read its cover.
