Declared as the both the “Lord of Love and the Lord of Silence, this enigmatic deity often proves allusive and even intentionally obscure, as he stands at the very threshold of the mysterious realm beyond.Dr. James Rietveld well provide an academic explanation for how the Ancient Egyptians viewed this god and also offer up insights into the Egyptians’ views of life and death.
