 a group of butchers felling an ox



A group of butchers can be seen felling and parting an ox as part of preparations for offerings. Note; there was never any human sacrifice in ancient Egypt only animals, birds, vegetables, fruit, wine and so forth. When the offering ceremonies was over, these offerings became food for priests or normal people.

A tradition that most likely has its root from these offering is still found on the countryside in Egypt. After 2 weeks and then 40 days after a person is dead and buried, the family meets bring food to the tomb. When the meeting around the tomb is over the food is distributed to needing families in the name of the deceased.

EGYPT  EXPEDITIONS  &  TOURS  


An elderly American professor in Egyptology (ancient Egyptian history and culture) was asked during his last season in Egypt before retirement, if he felt he had seen all of Egypt now? He answered - "are you crazy, I have only been here for twenty years"! With that statement in mind, you would do best if you look at some tour options before you finalize your Egypt tour plans.
