RA, the Egyptian God of the Sun, makes his way across the turquoise heavens each day, led, guided and protected by the two divine "fish", Ant and Abtu.
Heiroglyphs from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, describing Ant and Abtu.
Some researchers have suggested that the Great Pyramid was originally surrounded by a shallow lake.
On two sides of the pyramid are large pits, in which ceremonial boats have been found.
Isis wears an unusual headdress, and some see a snake at the front, the wings of a bird on the side and the scales and tail of a fish at the back.
In some representations, Isis has a biform body, with the tail of a snake. As we have shown, the snake and the cetacean are often and the same.
Here, both Isis and Osiris have "snake" tails, intertwined.
Osiris is the master of the waters, a mysterious God who was popular from the beginning to the end of ancient Egyptian history.
At the main temple for the worship of Osiris in Abydos, the interior was orignally designed to be flooded, with a raised dias in the center, rising out of the water.
Here we see Osiris in a tank. If we overlay the image of a dolphin on his body, we see that his legs, which are always depicted together, wrapped, are similar to a dolphin's tail. In addition, his arms suggest pectoral fins, and his hat is similar to the head of a dolphin.....
Osiris on his throne, which is made of water, with his sons rising on a lotus flower, which grows in shallow water.
Ptah, associated with Osiris, is also depicted in the same way, with his legs wrapped and his arms akimbo.
