Isis and Hathor |
Isis, heavy the orthodox throne on her head, and the goddesses Nephthys, Neith, and Selket all widespread their wings in security around the four faces of Tutankhamens sarcophagus. The said four goddesses also appear on the canopic shrine that holds the kings mummified pipe organs.
A shape of Isis straight behind the king was finished when a portion of the tombs wall was dismantled during excavation to remove the large shrines covering the sarcophagus. In the prospect, Isis and Anubis welcomed Tutankhamen to the Netherworld, and Hathor, the principal goddess of the west, proposed the king eternal life by holding an ankh to his nose.Isis, who plays an essential role in the myth of Isis and Osiris by seeing the took apart parts of her husbands body, reassembling his branches, and breathing life into his body, does not companion him when he resurrects in the realm of the dead. Isis remains among the living, and it is Hathor who is associated with the west the land of the dead. Often it is hard to tell the departure between pictures of Isis and Hathor in the royal tombs because Isis sometimes switches her throne headdress for the headdress of sun disk and cows horns more commonly affiliated with Goddess Hathor. The only way to tell them apart is to read the hieroglyphs that place the figures. When their personalities begun to blend they were sometimes called Isis-Hathor.
