The god Set (aka Seth) has been much of a puzzlement to Egyptologists. If we go with the attitude of later Egyptians, we find Set blamed for every misfortune that can befall humanity. However, if we go with the attitude of earlier times, in particular the Ramesside period, when Egypt was at its peak in prosperity, we find a completely different picture. For we find a god who was very much adored. Most of the surviving imagery is from that period, although even in Ptolemic and Roman times we occasionally find a piece which was a part of worship and magical rites. It's my goal to find all his imagery and bring it together, thereby shedding new light on this god, called "great of strength" and "great of magic" in ancient times. |
