Be a part of the ancient Egyptian history by buying the Egyptian Kings with the Health, Life and Power pendant. A pendant that is one of our very special handmade collection. Ancient Egyptian Kings are called Pharaohs. Pharaohs were referred to as living gods, or like gods, or as the go between mortal man and gods, and other god related positions. During the Old Kingdom, pharaohs believed themselves to be living gods. But they were mortal. During the Middle Kingdom, pharaohs no longer thought of themselves as living gods, but rather as the representatives of the gods on earth. Pharaoh, to the ancient Egyptian people, was simply Pharaoh, King of Egypt and High Priest of all temples. His (or her) power was absolute and overwhelming. He was not worshipped. He was obeyed.
The ancient Egyptians believed that all the wealth of Egypt and all the wealth in the world belonged to Pharaoh. Every house, brick, stone, animal, amulet, jewelry, statue, man, woman, child, clothing, temples, store houses, tombs, eggs found along the Nile, everything, absolutely everything belonged to Pharaoh. In exchange for all Pharaoh owned and controlled, Pharaoh was responsible for the health and happiness of ancient Egypt. If Pharaoh did not do his or her job, the Nile would not rise and leave rich soil behind for planting as the waters receded. If the people did not obey Pharaoh, the Nile would not rise.
The Ankh is also known as key of life, the key of the Nile. It was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read “eternal life”. Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest. The Ankh is a representation of both Physical and Eternal life. It is also known as the original cross. The Ankh is typically associated with material things such as water (which was believed by Egyptians to regenerate life), air, sun, as well as with the Gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an Ankh.
In the Middle are the hieroglyphic signs for Health (wechah) and power or prosperity (seneb). These were the perfect elements for the King to rule. The King on the right is wearing the crown of Upper Egypt (hedjet) while the King on the left, the crown of Lower Egypt (deshret).
