Author Description

Release Your Inner Egyptian Scribe! Can you imagine yourself writing on a papyrus like an Ancient Egyptian scribe? In Ancient Egypt, the scribes were the learned, wise ones and were greatly respected. Each of these notebooks is filled with 80 pages that look like ancient papyrus! Now you, too, can write like an Egyptian scribe when you use these notebooks as a diary or travel journal, for class notes, or even to practice writing hieroglyphs yourself. The pages are unlined, but papyrus paper was created by laying out strips of papyrus, so those strip marks can be a guide for writing evenly. You can write with a normal ballpoint pen, felt-tip, or calligraphy pen - just like any normal paper. The spine of each volume is a different color for easy reference, and they create a pleasing variety of colors on your bookshelf. The cover of this 80-page 7"x10" notebook is glossy. There are also 120-page versions of the Egyptian Gods & Goddesses Notebooks that have covers in a matte finish. This volume: The goddess Hathor is No. 7 in the Egyptian Gods & Goddesses Notebooks series. Hathor was a very important goddess throughout all of Ancient Egyptian history. She had many titles - Lady of the Sycamore, Lady of Turquoise, Goddess of the West (the Afterlife), Lady of Heaven. There are more temples dedicated to Hathor than any other Egyptian goddess. She is associated with childbirth, music, dance, and joyous celebrations. People can confuse her with the goddess Isis because Isis often wears Hathor's headdress - cow's horns surrounding a sun disk. Hathor's animal was the cow, so she can be represented with the cow's horns headdress (see the back cover), or as a woman with cow's ears (see the front cover), or as a cow wearing a sacred necklace. She is nurturing and helpful to all.A perfect gift for anyone who loves Egypt, both adults and young people!
