”Wait, you’re supposed to weight it first!”
Cover for my next artbook which will be available in April!
In case you’re wondering, that’s my version of “Weighing of the Heart” from the Book of Dead” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_DeadAww, what a cuteness!
Funny, someone scanned it from russian book :))
It was supposedly printed in Egypt
and it has “Ptah” misprinted right over Aten’s sundisk :) (but no Ptah picture)
Sobek (also called Sebek, Sochet, Sobk, and Sobki), was an ancient Egyptian deity with a complex and fluid nature. He is associated with the Nile crocodile and is either represented in its form or as a humanwith a crocodile head. Sobek was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities, invoked particularly for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile river.
