The Enchanted Statue The Djed-hor statue,
The statue of the priest "Djed-Hour", made of black basalt, is one of the most famous pieces of art in the Egyptian Museum. This statue gained its fame due to rumors that spread around it that it is a "bewitched" statue.
What is the story of the enchanted statue?
The statue of the priest, "Djed-Hor", dates back to the Late Period (About 323-317 BC) and it bore the artistic qualities of what is known "Child Horus Tablets", and it is considered one of its variants.
The "Baby Horus" tablets appeared in the late era and were used for therapeutic purposes, especially for treatment of snake bites, scorpions and reptiles Toxic.
And the symbols engraved on these tablets are symbols intended to address another world, the star world (Duat). In the eyes of the ancient Egyptian, the star world was a world intertwined with our world and not separate from it, and it was the world to which souls go after death, and it is also the source from which all things come.
And in it also lies the causes of all diseases. And priests in ancient Egypt used to treat the sick by contacting this world (dwats).
British writer Jeremy Naydler says in his book (Temple of the Cosmos) The tablet of child Horus is part of the magic rituals in ancient Egypt, and its symbols address the astral world (Duat),
And it is the world in which the causes of diseases lie.
