Das Göttliche in der Natur erkennen. Tiere, Pflanzen und Phänomene der unbelebten Natur als Manifestationen des Göttlichen

Abstract

Apart from the well-known sacred animals (like e.g. the Apis bull) a concept of divinity not only of animals but of animate and inanimate nature in general can be documented for Ancient Egypt. This concept is typically tobe found in scientific writings and lists rooted in the priestly and intellectual elite milieu. In an appendix, the hieratic pBerlin 29027 is edited. On its recto, it contains a list of trees and associated gods.
