DID YOU KNOW? Isis, Bastet, and Nephthys of Saqqara

DID YOU KNOW that Isis was worshipped from the late New Kingdom Period with a particularly holy temple at Saqqara and was called "Mistress of the Pyramid"? Bastet and Nephthys were also two goddesses venerated with Isis in this very complex conglomeration of Saqqaran temples, tombs, and shrines...many of which are still being excavated and studied to this day.

To learn more about these three goddesses at Saqqara, feel free to e-mail Zachary with a question and take a moment to order the new book, The Intrepid Wanderer's Guide to Ancient Egyptian Goddesses, by clicking on the amazon book-cover link to the right.
