Hall's Egyptian symbolism: the ka carries emblems of conduct, and in death the ghost takes on its true nature — a shadow that crumbles when the true person departs. 🔮
Hall reads Egyptian afterlife symbols, the ka, as moral emblems
Key facts
- Hall describes Egyptian funerary symbolism as a world in which the afterlife is populated by symbols created to represent conduct and codes of action.
- He identifies the ka as a level of being that carries these emblems, arguing the ghost entering the other dimension takes on the appearance of its true nature rather than its earthly appearance.
- According to Hall's reading of Egyptian belief, a person's shadow or emblem persists through re-embodiment or renovation until the true person departs from it, at which point the form disintegrates.
- Hall cites the case of the Faust legend as a European example in which a devil ultimately claims the practitioner, and refers to Tibetan diagrams filled with divine and monstrous beings as the same kind of astral symbolism.
- These interpretations are the lecturer's reading of Egyptian religion rather than reported archaeological evidence.
