What Amulets Symbolised




Amulets had all different meanings. The key of life ment god fortune and prosparity, the snake ment you were verry wealthy. All these meanings were verry important to the egyptians because they would also carry around amulets that were their gods so they would carry the god of their town or village and it would protect them

Lucky Charms


This is an amulet....okay what now? There is more to amulets than you think. Amulets were the things that the egyptians loved. Why?? It was the things that kept them safe. Amulets were good luck charms they belived that if you put one of these in a coffin of a mummy that they would be safe in the afterlife. They them around the neck. even though these things wernt totaly real they still thought that a little peice of clay would protect them.
This is a hippo,an amulet so to speak and this amulet made it more likely to get pregnant....YAY!! an amulet that helps you to have kids.
Trust me there are more amulets than meets the eye, you can have an amulet and not even know it. Okay think do you have like a special necklace of a charm that you always have...thats an amulet in a way. How cool right!!

Amulets They Loved The Most

The scarab beetle was the most loved amulet because they belived that this beetle roled the sun acrosed the sky. This amulet would be carved from clay to rock to precious jewls, this one is made of bronze
I always knew that they woulde put amulets in the coffins of mummys but i read that they found amulets un the throat of a mummy, so that means that they pushed an amulet down a mouth of a dead person...how disgusting!!

How Many Amulets!?!?!


Amulets worn around the neck were just about one or two but in a sarcophagus it could be 100-200!! The "magic number" of amulets was 104 no one knows why tis number was so important.
