Taweret the Goddess of mothers and children in Ancient Egyptian Art

6 months ago
44

Taweret is a fascinating figure from ancient Egyptian mythology. She was a goddess associated with childbirth, fertility, and protection. She was called:
"Lady of Heaven",
"Mistress of Pure Water",
and "Lady of the Birth House"
Throughout the history of Egypt, female hippopotamus was revered as she studiously protect her young from harm. So Egyptians called her Taweret or Taurt ("GREAT ONE")
They frequently depicted her as a female hippopotamus holding the hieroglyphic sign "Sa" "protection"
No house or temple was void of an image, a statue, or a Protective amulet of Taweret.
Although King Akhenaten in the 18th dynasty proscribed the worship of many traditional gods, Taweret's survival in the artistic corpus found at the Aten's capital demonstrates her overwhelming significance in Egyptian daily life.
