Altliough the djed pillar was original!} associ¬ ated with the god sokar, i'tah, the patron deity of Memphis, is sometimes described as ‘the noble Djed'. It was becau.se of the associa¬ tion of Ptah with Sokar and therefore also with OSIRIS, god of the dead, that the djed pillar Amulet in the form of a djed pillar. Saite period, faience, it. II. I cm. (ea]223.^) eventually became a symbol of Osiris. In the Book of the Dead it is said to represent his backbone, and certain depictions of the pillar portray it with human arms holding the royal regalia. It was probably at Memphis that kings first performed the ceremony of ‘raising the djed pillar’, the best-known depiction of which is in the Osiris Hall at ABVDOS, although the ritual was also incorporated into one of the .sed eesTtVALS of Amenhotep iii (1390-1352 bc) at Thebes. This act not only served as a JilER metaphor for the stability of the monarchy hut also symbolized the resurrection of Osiris. J.

However, the Step Pyramid is only the most visible feature of this great burial site, and the tombs of many thousands of individuals are hidden beneath the sands, some excavated, others not. These human burials are only a part of Saqqara’s funerary history. This paper examines the catacombs of the numerous animals revered by the Egyptians at Saqqara and whose burial places have come to be known collectively as ‘The Sacred Animal Necropolis’ (SAN). First amongst these, both in importance and inception, was the Apis bull, the living image (ba) of Ptah, creator god of Memphis. However, it was the work conducted by Professor W.B. Emery (1903–1971) which brought to light the burial place of the Mother of the Apis as well as those for ibises, falcons, and baboons and which has provided much of what we know of the Sacred Animal Necropolis at Nor...
