Extraordinary scene from Karnak complex

 
King Ramesses II  is burning incense before
Amun-min Kamutef,The name Kamutef ("bull of his mother") conveys that the god is both father and son and, therefore, self-created. with two phallus  the first one was made a little bit higher so they plaster it and done another one to be perfect with the harmony of his body 


Around his forehead, Min wears a red ribbon that trails to the ground, claimed by some to represent sexual energy. The symbols of Min were the white bull, a barbed arrow, and a bed of lettuce, that the Egyptians believed to be an aphrodisiac, as Egyptian lettuce was tall, straight, and released a milk-like substance when rubbed, characteristics superficially similar to the penis.I believe his phallus is on the verge of going limp; the stage after ejaculation. In some depictions of him in Karnak, there are little drops of sperm shooting from his tip. Seeing as Min is a fertility Netjer, I doubt the limp phallus has anything to do with impenitence.

Visite au quartier des potiers à Fustat

Visite au quartier des potiers à Fustat Eau, terre et feu, font la passion du potier Les poteries sont toujours là pour parler au cœur de l'homme, lui renvoyer le geste éternel de la main qui modèle, façonne, pétrit et décore.

Le quartier des potiers au Caire, tout près de Salah Salem (quartier de Fustat), est un centre important de production d'objets en terre cuite et en argile. Découvrez au fil d'une rapide visite des lieux, ces nombreux artisans, leurs ateliers primitifs et les salles d'exposition de leurs produits, qui ne sont que les trottoirs mi-pavés, mi-détruits. Ils créent de nouveaux pots culinaires, des objets décoratifs d'une grande variété, d'inspiration classique et résolument moderne, du même coup. Plus qu'aucune activité de l'homme, la poterie est conservatrice de la mém...

These railings were especially installed to protect the relief on the pillars, however, they make the inspection of the relief more difficult.   the sequence of the scenes is given below with the help of the numbers: 1 - the fleet arrives in Punt 2 - the expedition is welcomed in Punt 3 - exchange of gifts, above No. 3 men carry trees including the root-stocks 4 - ships are loaded with the "tribute" of Punt 5 - return of the expedition 6 - gifts for the Lord of Punt 7 - Hatshepsut presents gifts from Punt to Amun      7a - Hatshepsut      7b - three large trees 8 - Weighing and  Counting      8a - piled myrrh between registers 8 und 9 there is only text 9 - the success of the e...
