Here are some facts about the concept of Egypt Dualism in ancient:

Ancient Egypt Dualism

There have been subdued implications to the concept of duality in ancient Egyptian religion and beliefs. The concept of life and death, chaos, and harmony, joy, and sorrow are some of the highlights of ancient Egypt dualism.

The contrast in the representation of two ancient Egyptian Gods, god Seth and god Oris is one of the many examples of ancient Egypt dualism. Seth was connected to disorder. He was violent, aggressive and sterile. Oris, on the other hand, was the God of sterility and life.

Ancient is marked with overtones of Egypt Dualism Duality.

I have tried to bring together some of them here.
1. Egypt is the land of deserts and the river Nile flowing through it is Egypt’s life blood. This duality in the Nile is a sustainer of life, and desert a destroyer of life is what creates Egypt.

2. The Nile itself has dual nature. On one hand, it sustains life, aids in the cultivation of crops and produces the good harvest. On the other hand, it also causes floods unleashing death and destruction.

3. On one side of the river, crops were grown and harvested. This symbolized sustenance of life. In the other side of the river, dead were buried.

4. Ra, the sun god is believed to associate with Atum and form Re-Atum. Coming of Re-Atum signified the coming of light to disperse away Nu, the god of darkness.

5. The tombs built by ancient Egyptians were meant to last for eternity. So, rocks and durable material were used to build them. Palaces of kings, on the other hand, were considered perishable and built with clay, bricks, and wood.

6. Egypt was initially a land of two kingdoms. These two kingdoms again, had duality exhibited in them. The north, Lower Egypt was the delta area. It was fed by two important branches of Nile. The south, higher Egypt had deserted. The two regions were named red Egypt (delta region) and white Egypt (desert region) respectively.

The ancient Egyptians believed in the theory of life after death. During the burial of the dead, they would place all the essential things that the person might require in his after life into the tomb. They used balms to preserve the bodies of the deceased. Their belief in eternity gave them exuberance for life.

The river and the desert, concepts of life and death, north and south Egypt are some interesting patterns from ancient Egypt duality. These facts make Egypt a country of contrasts.
