Historical Outline
Ancient Egyptian statue of a cobra, Luxor Museum
The cobra was almost always portrayed rearing up and with its hood dilated. The Greek word uraeus is typically used to describe the cobra in this pose. The word may have its origins from the Egyptian words which meant "she who rears up". The species of cobra represented as the uraeus is the Naja haje.
Meaning: According to the Story of Re, the first uraeus was created by the goddess Isis who formed it from the dust of the earth and the spittle of the sun-god. The uraeus was the instrument with which Isis gained the throne of Egypt for her husband Osiris.
Cobra Figures and the Step Pyramid Saqqara in Egypt
The uraeus was a symbol for various things from early times including: the sun, Lower Egypt, the king and a number of deities.
As the sacred creature of the Delta city of Buto, the reptile was known by the same name. She soon became an emblem of all of Lower Egypt. The uraeus was often depicted with the vulture Nekhebet who served the same function for Upper Egypt. Together they symbolized the unification of the two lands. The creatures also appear together in the pharaoh's nebty or "Two Ladies" name.
The cobra was also called the "fiery eye" of Re and two uraei were sometimes depicted on either side of the solar disk.
A Cobra Worship Temple of Karnak
A gilded wooded cobra called netjer-ankh ("living god") was found in the tomb of Tutankhamon (see picture at left). It is representative of the cobra's associations with the afterlife. In funerary works, the cobra is often depicted spitting fire. Two cobras doing just that were said to guard the gates of every "hour" of the underworld. During the Late Period, uraei were also shown towing the barque of the sun in funerary papyri. In all of these examples, the cobra's protective nature is clearly demonstrated.
The cobra was also representative of various deities such as Neith, Ma'at, and Re.
Egyptian Cobra at the Temple of Edfu
The Cobra was used to protect the Temple. The ancient Egyptians worshipped it and used it as a symbol on the crown of the pharaohs. It is believed that Cleopatra committed suicide by holding a cobra against her body. It is likely that Cleopatra chose this snake for its quick-acting venom.
Between Aswan and Luxor is located the major Ptolemaic temple of Edfu - the best preserved major temple in Egypt. The reason is that the temple had been totally submerged under the desert except for the very top of the pylon entrance. The temple was built over a 180-year period from 237 BC to 57 BC.
The temple is dedicated to Horus and was built in the Ptolemaic period. At the entrance to the inner temple stands a magnificent black marble statue of the god. The Hypostyle hall is both imposing and impressive because of its size and condition. An impressive feature of the temple is that nearly every surface is covered by carvings and hieroglyphics, some of which were defaced by Christians as they considered the images to be pagan.
This temple is unusual in that it is on the west bank of the river which was normally dedicated to the afterlife. It is thought that redirection of the river some time after construction of the temple is responsible for this.
