Marriage in Egypt was far less formal that it is now. There were no legal or religious ceremonies, , exception cases where a pre-nuptial agreement was made (such devices were known in Egypt. Though were not required, some people had them). There was possibly a bridal gift/dowry, though the evidence is far from certain on this aspect, and then the couple moved in – and that was that.Families no doubt held parties and festivities, but from a legal-religious view it was quite a low key affair, and the Egyptians didn’t regard marriage as a sacrosanct and eternal contract.

We don’t know a great deal about Royal weddings. The private life of Pharaonic Royalty existed in a completely opposite situation of modern Royalty in that it was kept almost entirely out of public view. A few Ramesside Pharaohs did not keep to this tradition, but they are very much the exception. As such, we honestly don’t know very much.

The marriage situation for the Pharaoh was very different – Unlike commoners Pharaonic marriages were polygamous, which was unknown amongst common Egyptians. Marriages to 1st degree relatives (i.e. parent-child, and between siblings) sometimes within the palace (not always, contrary to popular myth), but not amongst commoners.

Question by sir paddlemonkey: When is the best time of the year to visit Egypt?
Some time when it’s not too hot and when I can escape most of the tourist crowd at the historical sites, perhaps. Does Egypt have seasons?

The Mind of Egypt: History and Meaning in the Time of the Pharaohs

The Mind of Egypt presents an account of the mainsprings of Egyptian civilization – the ideals, values, mentalities, belief systems and aspirations that shaped the first territorial state in human history. Drawing on a range of literary, iconographic and archaeological sources, Jan Assmann reconstructs a world of unparalleled complexity, a culture that, long before others, possessed an extraordinary degree of awareness and self-reflection.”Writing a history of the development of the ancient Egyptian mind,” wrote the Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt a century and a half ago, is “an impossibility.” Today, observes Jan Assmann, we know “infinitely more about Egypt” than did the scholars of Burckhardt’s day. But, even so, the ancient Egyptian mind continues to elude us.

Turning to what he calls “the hidden face of history,” Assmann explores the meaning of the Egyptian past to the ancients themselves. For them, history, that chronicle of pharaohs and empires, began with the recognition that humans, not gods or demigods, controlled earthly affairs. From the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the time of the Ptolemy dynasty, the idea of the state was central to Egyptians’ view of themselves in the world. With this centralized power, Assmann argues, grew other ideas, such as the notion that the stone of the pyramids was “an eternalized form of the body” and that our short time on earth was “something more akin to a dream than to reality.” Full of learned discussions on such matters as the origins and development of hieroglyphic writing and the evolution of funereal architecture, Assmann’s book offers a fascinating view of ancient history, and of ancient ways of thinking. –Gregory McNamee

The calendar of ancient Egypt is older than astrology. Even though the Egyptian calendar itself is all but forgotten, it is the direct ancestor of the Western calendar in use today. The ancient Egyptians were keenly focused on the concept of life as a journey through time, and the calendar was their map. In Work Like An Egyptian, you will find one of the world’s oldest guides to self-navigation in an easy-to-use format, a daily horoscope from the dawn of history. Each season, month and day is listed with its ancient name, together with the warnings and requirements, stories and scenarios of the gods involved in the story of the year. The day is divided into eight-hour segments of morning, afternoon and night. The hieroglyph for either “lucky” or “unlucky” is assigned to each segment, and most days are either “triple good” or “triple bad.” Sacred ceremonies and ritual feasts are also listed, making the calendar a complete guide to the Egyptian year, a horoscope unlike any other in the modern world.

Their horoscope was not based simply on the two-dimensional wheel of the horizon turning around beneath the sky, but on the three-dimensional interaction of the daily turning of the wheel of the horizon within the yearly turning of the globe of the sky. The calendar of the turning sky was the “Sirius-rising” calendar, measured out in ten-day weeks relating to observations of the heliacal risings of 36 selected star clusters. The calendar of the horizon was the “Nile-rising” calendar, measured by the cycles of the Nile’s flood. The two calendars intersected annually at the summer solstice, during the “yearly five days” outside of time that linked the old year to the new. All life and time were generated by the motions of those mighty wheels.

Like all things ancient Egyptian, the interpretation of the horoscope itself is intended to be uniquely personal. The map is universal but the journey is your own. Only you can know how the stories of the gods are played out in your inner world from moment to moment. The horoscope images seem locked into a universal and repetitive round only because the calendar was the anchor in time, the still center around which life moved. Thus, even though the auspice and warnings for New Moon Day in the month of Hathys will be the same next year as this, you will not be the same. The sky will not be the same. The ritual and ceremony of each day keep you connected to the person you were on that day in other years. This temporal orientation serves as navigation for the year ahead.

In her first book, Walk Like An Egyptian, author Ramona Louise Wheeler brought the concepts of ancient Egyptian religion and philosophy into the context of the modern world. Readers around the globe found the once-obscure ideas of ancient wisdom interpreted as profound contemplations of the reality of human nature. Readers of Walk Like An Egyptian will encounter familiar faces here: Osiris, the eternal and immortal portion of each human’s soul clothed in mortal flesh, and Re, the divine light of consciousness in the mind; Horus, who is the paradox of the universal nature of each soul’s unique identity, and Isis, bonding force of the soul, are frequent players in the calendar round. Thoth, representing the power of human thought and intellect, is credited as original author of the calendar texts. He stands in judgment in the calendar scenarios, overruling even the will of the gods.

The success of Walk Like An Egyptian led to Wheeler’s collaboration with Diana Janeen Pierce, who had assembled a daily calendar of ancient Egyptian ceremonies, rituals and festivals. Wheeler and Pierce worked together on a translation of the lengthy and difficult calendar papyri texts, and Wheeler’s accompanying interpretation of the cosmos as defined in the calendar makes a lively counterpart to the horoscope, clarifying the often confusing material. Together, Wheeler and Pierce provide a modern evaluation of how to “work like an Egyptian,” attuned to eternity in your daily life and guided by eternal principles.
