The thesis presented by student Saad Jaber Muhammad dealt with the symbols of the most important gods in ancient Egypt – a historical semantic study

The thesis dealt with the most important symbols of the gods and the forms they took, as the ancient Egyptians paid great attention to their gods and portrayed them in the form of symbols. These symbols, according to their belief, were a reflection of the tasks or functions that each god performed in organizing the affairs of the universe and human beings on earth.

The study aims to focus on the symbols of the most important gods in the civilization of ancient Egypt, and not all of them, as the number of gods, their names and symbols were more than three thousand gods.
