BY the Ancient Egyptians.
ghe appearance Of a green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly so because in the
clear air Of Egypt the tints of sunset
are peculiarly distinct.
AS the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and is Inn
mensely enlarged and flaming It sud
denly becomes for an instant a bril-
liantly green color and Immediately a
series of green rays sufuses the sky in
many directions. well nigh to the ze-
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
sunrise, but to a smaller extent. Some
times. Just as the last part Of the suns
disk vanishes, its color changes from
green 10 blue. and so also after It has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green. while toward the zenith
it is blue
This was alluded to IN Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem Of life
and night that OF death. and the noe

thus rendered Osiris king Of the dead.
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris. as the nocturnal deity of the
dead, was painted green. The splendid
cofins of the high priests Of Ammon
frequently depict the green sun. and
the funeral deities are all colored
green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egvnfian relics of representotions
relative TO death being colored green.
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints of sunrise and sunset.
