Abstract

In the last issue of this magazine, I published the first part of this topic about the important of the phallus In Ancient Egypt during the Greco-Roman Period, in which I disused the various kind of phallic objects and amulets, including ancient Egyptian concepts of phallus as a part of their sex and erotic matters and as an important element of their life. In the present paper, I continue lighting out another aspect of the phallus In Ancient Egypt during that period which is the variety of the phallic signs that essentially are used as illustrations of views derived from the ancient written record. The matter that show the important of the phallus as a part of ancient Egyptian sex and erotic issue and as an important element of their life.
In general, the Ancient Egyptians used both the two different phallic signs: the phallus itself and the phallus with liquid leaking from it as determinatives for verity of words refer to constituents of creation, conception, as rebirth, power, masculinity and many other different significances, that I source it in this paper.
