Description

The Egyptian gods manifested themselves in various forms and many of them were associated with specific animals. The practice of mummification of animals has been known since 3000 BC. until it disappeared in the 4th century AD. In the temples, a specially selected specimen of the animal associated with the god was bred, considered an incarnation of him. At his death the body was mummified and placed in a sarcophagus. Other animals were mummified and brought to the temple as an ex voto. The bull was connected to the god Apis, royal power and the concept of strength.
