ISIS

Isis / Isis The story of the ancient Egyptian lady and the mother of the Egyptians, where the ancient Egyptians considered Isis a symbol that embodies the image of the ideal mother and the wife at the same time, she is the wife of Ozer and the mother of Horus. The Egyptians thought that the Nile was flooded because of tears that she shed with grief over the death of her husband, But Isis transformed herself into a bird and gathered the parts of her husband's body scattered in more than one part of the earth. The Spirit returned to him to have her son, Horus, bequeathed to him and he was the heir. Only to rule

SPORTS & LEISURE

Swimming was an important part of Egyptian culture and children were taught to swim when very young. Water sports played a significant role in Egyptian entertainment as the Nile River was such a major aspect of their daily lives. The sport of water-jousting, in which two small boats, each with one or two rowers and one jouster, fought each other, seems to have been very popular. The rower (or rowers) in the boat sought to strategically maneuver while the fighter tried to knock his opponent out of the craft.  They also enjoyed games having nothing to do with the river, however, which were similar to modern-day games of catch and handball.

Gardens and simple home adornments were highly prized by the Egyptians. A home garden was important for sustenance but also provided pleasure in tending to one’s own crop. The labourers in the fields never worked their own crop and so their individual garden was a place of pride in producing something of their own, grown from their own soil. This soil, again, would be their eternal home after they left their bodies and so was greatly valued. A tomb inscription from 1400 BCE reads, “May I walk every day on the banks of the water, may my soul rest on the branches of the trees which I planted, may I refresh myself under the shadow of my sycamore” in referencing the eternal aspect of the daily surroundings of every Egyptian. After death, one would still enjoy one’s own particular sycamore tree, one’s own daily walk by the water, in an eternal land of peace granted to those of Egypt by the gods they gratefully revered.
