Apep Cobra Statue – Egyptian God Sculpture

Apep Uraeus Statue — beautiful statue of the God Apep or Uraeus cobra.

This Apep Uraeus Statue represents one of the Egyptian gods of protection in ancient Egyptian mythology. It’s made of stone, handcrafted, and modeled after the original piece discovered in the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

History:

Apophis (also known as Apep) is the Great Serpent, enemy of the sun god Ra, in ancient Egyptian religion.

The sun was Ra’s great barge, which sailed through the sky from dawn to dusk and then descended into the underworld. As it sailed through the darkness, it was attacked by Apophis, who sought to kill Ra and prevent sunrise.

On board the great ship, a number of different gods and goddesses are depicted in differing eras, as well as the justified dead, and all of these helped fend off the serpent.

Ancient Egyptian priests and laypeople would engage in rituals to protect Ra and destroy Apophis, and through these observances, linked the living with the dead and the natural order as established by the gods.

Apophis never had a formal cult and was never worshiped, but he featured in a number of tales dealing with his efforts to destroy the sun god and return order to chaos.

Apophis is associated with earthquakes, thunder, darkness, storms, and death, and is sometimes linked to the god Set, also associated with chaos, disorder, storms, and darkness.

Set was originally a protector god, however, and appears a number of times as the strongest of the gods on board the sun god’s barque, defending the ship against Apophis.

Although there were probably stories about a great enemy-serpent earlier in Egypt’s history, Apophis first appears by name in texts from the Middle Kingdom (2040-1782 BCE).

He is acknowledged as a dangerous force through the Late Period of Ancient Egypt (525-332 BCE), especially, and on into the Ptolemaic Period (323-30 BCE) and Roman Egypt.

Most of the texts which mention him come from the New Kingdom (c. 1570-1069 BCE), including the one known as The Book of Overthrowing Apophis, which contains the rituals and spells for defeating and destroying the serpent.

This work is among the best known of the so-called Execration Texts, works written to accompany rituals denouncing and cursing a person or entity, which remained in use throughout ancient Egypt’s history.
