This is very useful. Thank you. (Not sure how to contact you so leaving comment here)
I’m glad you find it informative.
(I can also be reached at epb223@gmail.com.)
this is very informative thank you
Excellent work. Very helpful and written in an educated and scientific manner. It’s nice to find information that is not simply based on one’s personal belief.
Excellent website! I am very very grateful.
Thank you; your blog is quite intriguing, I’ll be watching it.
could you also do a henadology on the crowns of both upper and lower Egypt and the customary items like the ankh and serekh…that would really be grateful but overall great site
this is very rich informative site. Thank you for your efforts

Do you have any thoughts on the Set Animal ?
Have you read the entry on Set here? There, I say that I am most persuaded by Newberry’s identification of the Set animal (the sha) as a kind of pig, now extinct. But it’s all quite speculative.
Any notes on the nature of the Uraeus?
There are some remarks in the entry on Wadjet.
Thankyou; excellent stuff.

Wonderful, rich, diverting and confusing. Which is meant to be high praise… I I know everything ultimately comes together, but is there any direct link between the female Bes, Bestet and Bastet….
No, there is no link between Beset and Bast(et); the superficial similarity in the Romanized orthography of these names is misleading.

I’d like to know more about the origins of the headresses and crowns of Egypt,that’ll be very useful research.
Henadology is quite insightful
Question for you: the figures that Hachette made a while back include a deity I’ve not heard of otherwise, nor been able to find anything about, who is rendered as “Chai,” and is shown as a humanoid with a snake-head, and holding an unrolled scroll, I believe. I don’t know if this might be Sha (i.e. Ash), given in a form that is more in line with French phonetics perhaps (as many of these figures seem to be), but I wondered if you might be able to shed any light on the matter.
This is probably Shai.
Here it is:

My mistake–he’s not holding an unfurled scroll, but instead a tablet or stele of some sort.
In any case, very intriguing, and I’d be interested in hearing what you might come up with here!
What a peculiar piece. Not exactly a standard depiction, of course, but I’m pretty confident this is meant to be Shai, with the stele evoking the textuality by means of which Egyptian thought tends to symbolize destiny.
Yes, that makes sense based on what I’ve seen so far…thanks so much!
