Ankh - Tumblr Posts

Currently reading Andrew Gordon and Calvin Schwab's "The Quick and the Dead: Biomedical Theory in Ancient Egypt" and though I was familiarized with the fact that Djed Pillar and Ankh could have their iconographical origins in bulls' last three lumbar and sacrum vertebrae in dorsal perspective and thoracic vertebra in cephalic perspective respectively, I wasn't ready for the Was sceptre being (or, at least, having it's predecesor in) a dried bull penis, which definitely makes sense due the connotations of power and dominion of both the Was sceptre and wild bulls.

Like, fuck

I think, by the way, this also helps understand and highlight better not only certain iconographical aspects of Set (and from other Gods as well, but concerning different aspects, I'd say) in relation to bulls and their anatomy, but some theological ones as well.
