EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Egyptian artwork of "Thoueris and Hathor in the papyrus". Dating back to the 19th dynasty, this piece is reminiscent of the famous papyrus of Ani from Thebes. Housed in the Bibliotheque du College de France in Paris, France, it offers a glimpse into Egypt's rich cultural heritage. The image depicts two mythological characters: Thoueris (also known as Taouret) and Hathor. Both figures hold significant roles in Egyptian mythology. Thoueris, often depicted as a hippopotamus or a pregnant woman with a hippopotamus head, symbolizes fertility and protection during childbirth. Hathor, on the other hand, represents love, beauty, music, and motherhood. The intricate hieroglyphs surrounding these divine beings add depth to their portrayal. These symbols were an essential part of ancient Egyptian writing system and conveyed both literal meanings and symbolic representations. In addition to showcasing these mythical creatures and hieroglyphic writings, this artwork also incorporates botanical elements such as various plants. This inclusion highlights the importance of nature within Egyptian culture. As we admire this stunning piece from ancient Egypt's antiquity, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when gods ruled over daily life and art served as a medium for storytelling and religious devotion.
