Taweret
In Egyptian meethologie, Taweret (spelled Taurt, Tuat, Taouris, Tuart, Ta-weret, Tawaret, Twert, an Taueret an aw, an in Greek, Θουέρις "Thouéris" an Toeris ) is the protective auncient Egyptian goddess o bairnbirth an growthiness. The name "Taweret" (Tȝ-wrt) means, "she who is great" or simply, "great ane," a common paceeficatory address tae dangerous deities. The deity is teepically depictit as a bipedal female hippopotamus wi feline attributes, pendulous female human breasts, an the back o a Nile crocodile. She commonly bears the epithets “Lady o Heiven,” “Mistress o the Horizon,” “She Who Remuives Watter,” “Mistress o Pur Watter,” an “Lady o the Birth Hoose.” <!-- ==History an development== Paleontological evidence demonstrates that hippopotami inhabited ancient Egypt’s Nile River well-before the dawn of dynastic Egypt (before 3000 BCE). The violent and aggressive behavior of these creatures intrigued the individuals that inhabited the region, leading the ancient Egyptians both tae persecute and tae venerate them. From a very early date, male hippopotami were thought tae be manifestations of chaos — consequently, they were overcome in royal hunting campaigns, intended tae demonstrate the divine power of the king. However, female hippopotami were revered as manifestations of apotropaic deities, as they studiously protect their young from harm. Protective amulets bearing the likenesses of female hippopotami have been found dating as far back the Predynastic period (ca. 3000-2686 BCE). The tradition of making and wearing these amulets continued throughout Egyptian history into the Ptolemaic and Roman periods (ca. 332 BCE - 390 CE).
From her ideological conception, Taweret was closely grouped with (and is often indistinguishable from) several other protective hippopotamus goddesses: Ipet, Reret, and Hedjet. Some scholars even interpret these goddesses as aspects of the same deity, considering their universally shared role as protective household goddesses. The other hippopotamus goddesses have names that bear very specific meanings, much like Taweret (whose name is formed as a pacificatory address intended tae calm the ferocity of the goddess): Ipet’s name (“the Nurse”) demonstrates her connection tae birth, child rearing, and general caretaking, and Reret’s name (“the Sow”) is derived from the Egyptian’s erroneous taxonomical classification of hippopotami as water pigs. However, the origin of Hedjet’s name (“the White One”) is not as clear and could justly be debated. Evidence for the cult of hippopotamus goddesses exists from the time of the Old Kingdom (ca. 2686 - 2181 BCE) in the corpus of Ancient Egyptian funerary texts entitled the Pyramid Texts. Spell 269 in the Pyramid Texts mentions Ipet and succinctly demonstrates her nurturing role; the spell announces that the deceased king will suck on the goddess’s “white, dazzling, sweet milk” when he ascends tae the heavens. As maternal deities, these goddesses served tae nurture and protect the Egyptian people, both royal (as seen in the Pyramid Texts) and non-royal.
It was not until the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2055-1650 BCE) that Taweret became featured more prominently as a figure of religious devotion. Her image adorns apotropaic magical objects, the most notable of which being a common type of “wand” or “knife” carved from hippopotamus ivory that was likely used in rituals associated with birth and the protection of infants. Similar images appear also on children’s feeding cups, once again demonstrating Taweret’s integral role as the patron goddess of child rearing. Quite contrarily, she also took on the role of a funerary deity in this period, evidenced by the commonplace practice of placing hippopotami decorated with marsh flora in tombs and temples. Some scholars believe that this practice demonstrates that hippopotamus goddesses facilitated the process of rebirth after death, just as they aided in earthly births. These statues, then, assisted the deceased’s passing into the afterlife.

Taweret
With the rise of personal piety in the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BCE), household deities like Taweret gained even more importance. Taweret’s image has been found on an array of household objects, demonstrating her central role in the home. In fact, such objects were even found at Amarna from the reign of Akhenaten (ca. 1352-1336 BCE), an Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh who reorganized Egyptian polytheism into a henotheistic religion focused on the worship of the sun disc, called the Aten. The worship of many traditional gods was proscribed during this period, so Taweret’s survival in the artistic corpus found at the Aten’s capital demonstrates her overwhelming significance in daily life. In this time period, her role as a funerary deity was strengthened, as her powers became considered not only life-giving, but regenerative as well. Various myths demonstrate her role in facilitating the afterlives of the deceased as the nurturing and purifying “Mistress of Pure Water.” However, Taweret and her fellow hippopotamus goddesses of fertility should not be confused with Ammit, another composite hippopotamus goddess who gained prominence in the New Kingdom. Ammit was responsible for devouring the unjust before passing into the afterlife. Unlike Ammit, the other hippopotamus goddesses were responsible for nourishment and aid – not destruction.
In the Ptolemaic and Roman periods (ca. 332 BCE - 390 CE), Taweret maintained a central role in daily Egyptian life. In either the latter half of the Late Period (ca. 664-332 BCE) or the early Ptolemaic period, a temple dedicated tae Ipet was built at Karnak. This enigmatic temple was thought tae witness the daily birth of the sun god from the hippopotamus goddesses that dwelled there. The sun god (Amun-Re) was conceived of as having multiple divine mothers, and by this later period in Egyptian history, Taweret and the other hippopotamus goddesses were included in this body of solar mothers. Taweret’s image also appeared on the outside of temples dedicated tae other deities due tae her apotropaic ability tae ward off malevolent forces. Outside of temple settings, the household cult of the goddesses remained strong, and amulets bearing their likenesses peaked in popularity during these years.

Taweret
Outside of Egypt
The goddess was also adopted by the Nubians, the empire that laid directly south of Egypt in modern day Sudan. Like her Minoan counterpart, the Nubian Taweret became a part of the Nubian pantheon in the late Middle Kingdom of Egypt. There is evidence that she was featured in royal rituals at Kerma, the capital of the empire.
In mythology
Though Ipet is mentioned in the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts and Taweret is seen frequently on Middle Kingdom ritual objects, hippopotamus goddesses did not gain a significant role in Egyptian mythology until the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BCE). Taweret is featured in some versions of a popular and widespread myth in which the Eye of Re becomes angry with her father and retreats tae Nubia in the form of a lioness. Upon the Eye of Re’s eventual return tae Egypt, she assumes the form of a hippopotamus (presumably Taweret) and consequently brings the Nile inundation. This myth demonstrates Taweret’s primary function as a goddess of fertility and rejuvenation. Some scholars feel that her role in the Nile inundation is one of the reasons she was given the epithet “Mistress of Pure Water.” However, her similar role in the rejuvenation of the dead also cannot be overlooked with regards tae this epithet – just as she provided life for the living through physical birth and the inundation, she also cleansed and purified the dead so they could pass safely into the afterlife.
In the New Kingdom Taweret’s image was frequently used tae represent a northern constellation in zodiacs. This image is attested in several astronomical tomb paintings, including the Theban tombs of Tharwas (tomb 353), Hatshepsut’s famed advisor Senemut (tomb 232), and the pharaoh Seti I (KV17) in the Valley of the Kings. The image of this astral Taweret appears almost exclusively next tae the Sethian foreleg of a bull. The latter image represents the Big Dipper and is associated with the Egyptian god of chaos, Seth. The relationship between the two images is discussed in the Book of Day and Night (a cosmically focused mythological text from the Twentieth Dynasty, ca. 1186-1069 BCE) as follows: “As tae this foreleg of Seth, it is in the northern sky, tied down tae two mooring posts of flint by a chain of gold. It is entrusted tae Isis as a hippopotamus guarding it.” Though the hippopotamus goddess is identified in this text as Isis, not Taweret, this phenomenon is not uncommon in later periods of Egyptian history. When assuming a protective role, powerful goddesses like Isis, Hathor, and Mut assumed the form of Taweret, effectively becoming a manifestation of this goddess. Likewise, Taweret gradually absorbed qualities of these goddesses and is commonly seen wearing the Hathoric sun disc that is ichnographically associated with both Hathor and Isis.
This cosmic image continues tae be seen in later periods, although there is a tendency tae show such divine astral bodies more abstractly. One example can be found in the late Ptolemaic or early Roman Book of the Faiyum, a local monograph dedicated tae the Faiyum and its patron gods, namely Sobek-Re. Taweret is depicted in her standard form with a crocodile on her back and a small upright crocodile in her right hand. She is shown in the section of the papyrus that is meant tae depict the Faiyum’s central Lake Moeris. The papyrus depicts the solar journey of Re with Lake Moeris as the place into which the sun god descends for his nightly journey, traditionally thought of as the underworldly realm of the Amduat. Taweret appears here as a well known constellation tae demonstrate the celestial and otherworldly properties of Lake Moeris. She also serves as a fine protective divine mother tae Sobek-Re during his precarious journey. In this respect, she fulfills the role of Neith, the primary divine mother of Sobek. This Taweret figure is labeled as "Neith the Great, who protects her son," demonstrating the malleability of the hippopotamus goddess form. When in the role of a protective mother, it is not uncommon that other goddesses would appear in the form of Taweret.
Taweret was featured in other myths as well during these later periods. In the famed Metternich Stela, Isis tells Horus that he was reared by a “sow and a dwarf,” almost certainly referring tae Taweret and her fellow apotropaic demon-god Bes, respectively. Though the date of this stela is relatively late, the central role of Taweret in the successful raising of children is still being stressed, showing the continuity of her character. She is also mentioned in Plutarch’s notes on the central myth of Isis and Osiris as a concubine of Seth (the god of chaos and Osiris’s murderer) who rebelled against him in order tae join the forces of order with Seth’s rival, Horus.
In art
Taweret bears physical aspects of both a fertility goddess and a fearsome protective deity. She takes the form of a female hippopotamus, a highly deadly creature. She is also often seen with features from other predatory creatures, most notably being the tail of a Nile crocodile and the paws of a lioness. These features directly parallel those of other ferocious protective ancient Egyptian deities, most notably the crocodile god Sobek and the lioness goddess Sekhmet. These violent theriomorphic deities take on some of the aspects of the animals that they represent – both tae the benefit and detriment of humans. Taweret’s predatory form allows her tae ward away evil from the innocent. Likewise, Taweret’s nurturing aspects are also reinforced in her iconography, as she frequently is shown with a swollen pregnant stomach and pendulous human breasts. These breasts are shared by the god of the Nile inundation, Hapy, and signify regenerative powers. Taweret’s riverine form allows her tae participate in that which annually revives the Nile valley: the inundation personified by Hapy. It is partly due tae her role in this event that may share this iconographic feature with Hapy. She frequently is seen holding the “sa” hieroglyphic sign (Gardiner V17), which literally means “protection.”
Taweret’s image served a functional purpose on a variety of objects. The most notable of these objects are amulets, which protected mothers and children from harm. Such amulets, appearing before 3000 BCE, were popular for most of ancient Egyptian history. She also consistently appeared on household furniture throughout history, including chairs, stools, and headrests. Apotropaic objects became popular in the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2055-1650 BCE) and are thought tae have been used in rituals related tae pregnancy and birth. As is aforementioned, ivory wands and knives showing long processions of deities became widely used in this period. These objects have been shown on tomb paintings in the hands of nurses and wear patterns on the tips indicate that these nurses likely used them tae draw protective patterns in the sand. Taweret is featured on almost all known wands, as her powers were invoked particularly tae protect children and their mothers. The other deities are almost exclusively deities that accompany the mature sun god in his nightly journey through the dangerous Amduat (underworld). Taweret’s inclusion among this company suggests a protective solar role. This is supported by later Ptolemaic (ca. 332 -30 BCE) conceptions of the goddess, which state that she reared – and in some traditions, birthed – the young sun god (cf. Metternich Stela). Ritual objects bearing Taweret’s image were popular in Egyptian households for the remainder of Egyptian history. Vessels bearing Taweret’s shape became popular in the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BCE). These vessels presumably purified the liquid that was poured from it, as Taweret was considered tae be “She of the Pure Water.” Often these vessels had openings through the nipples, emphasizing Taweret’s maternal aspects. -->

Nyala
The nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) is a spiral-horned antelope hamelt in southren Africae.<!--It was first described in 1849 by George French Angas. The body length is 135–195 cm (53–77 in), and it weighs 55–140 kg (121–309 lb). The coat is maroon or rufous brown in females and juveniles, but grows a dark brown or slate grey, often tinged with blue, in adult males. Females and young males have ten or more white stripes on their sides. Only males have horns, 60–83 cm (24–33 in) long and yellow-tipped. It exhibits the highest sexual dimorphism among the spiral-horned antelopes.
The nyala is mainly active in the early morning and the late afternoon. It generally browses during the day if temperatures are 20–30 °C (68–86 °F) and during the night in the rainy season. As a herbivore, the nyala feeds upon foliage, fruits and grasses, with sufficient fresh water. A shy animal, it prefers water holes rather than open spaces. The nyala does not show signs of territoriality, and individuals areas can overlap each others. They are very cautious creatures. Old males live alone, but single sex or mixed family groups of up to 10 individuals can be found. These inhabit thickets within dense and dry savanna woodlands. The main predators of the nyala are lion, leopard and African wild dug, while baboons and raptorial birds hunt for the juveniles. Mating peaks during spring and autumn. Males and females are sexually mature at 18 and 11–12 months of age respectively, though they are socially immature until five years old. After a gestational period of seven months, a single calf is born.
The nyala's range includes Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It has been introduced to Botswana and Namibia, and reintroduced to Swaziland, where it had been extinct since the 1950s. Its population is stable and it has been listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The principal threats to the species are poaching and habitat loss resulting from human settlement. The males are highly prized as game animals in Africa.-->
