A rare statue of the god of chaos |
“The
Egyptians generally chose red pottery to smash, the colour of Seth, god of
chaos, and also the colour of blood, but the use of red ink would suffice,
usually scrawled in cursive hieratic text. Let me give you the flavour of
threat formulae:
“I overthrow all enemies from all their seats in every place
where they are… every land,
every ruler, every servant, every woman, every man, every child, every animal…
all will be destroyed forever. They will not exist, nor will their bodies. They
will not exist, nor will their souls. They will not exist, nor will their
flesh. They will not exist, nor will their bones… they will not exist and the
place where they are will not exist."
