The DJED PILLAR, also known as the backbone of Osiris, was a crucial funeral amulet that stood in steadiness for the departed. The Book of the Dead's Chapter 155 specifies that a pillar of gold should be placed on the mummy's throat, but because gold was too expensive, many times, a string of faience or bone Djed amulets were used instead. If you are interested in discovering the history of Osiris and the eternal love story with Isis, book our Aswan day tours to Philae temple, there you will discover the story of Isis and Osiris in detail.
Egyptian Amulets and their Meaning
Explore during our Egypt Classic tours The TET or KNOT OF ISIS, also known as the "Blood of Isis" or the "Girdle of Isis," was another powerful funerary amulet. Isis was easily recognized during the Greek and Roman eras (332 B.C.–A.D. 395) thanks to the unique knot on the front of her robe. The tet is frequently carved from a hard red stone, such as carnelian or jasper; however, it may occasionally be made of red glass. The tet is supposed to be constructed of red jasper and dipped in the sap of the Ankhimy plant, according to the Book of the Dead. Although the name of this plant is unknown today, it denotes magical power because it indicates.

The mummy needed a set of amulets known as the FOUR SON OF HORUS. Each of the four deities has a man's physique, but they all have distinct heads. In order of head shape, Mesti has a human head, Hapi is an ape head, Duamutef is a jackal head, and Qebesenef is a falcon head. The faithful wore these four gods' amulets, typically constructed of blue faience with multiple holes on each side so they could be sewn onto the mummy wrappings. Almost invariably, they were positioned across the mummy's chest. Often, a miniature headrest made of hard stone was placed in the mummy wrappings to protect the head of the mummy and help them ariase in the next world. Small heart amulets were sometimes wrapped with the mummy to protect the heart and ensure that it did not speak against the deceased when they made a plea before the gods. All these historical monuments will be relevant during Egypt Easter tours.
