I have an Art History class that got me sooo fancinated with Egyptian culture....its really has alot of Christian roots to it...alot of simularities....

There is alot of wonderful symbols that has such great meanings....

So I just ordered a Scarab and lotus flower bracelet...will load pics when I receive it in a day or so...

Do you guys own any pieces??? Very curious......:P

Actually, I think Christianity received lots of influence from Egypt....since Egypt is sooo much older. The earliest representations of Goddess-Madonna with Baby boy on lap are from Egypt, from the cult of Isis. IIRC, they're like 2500BCE

I have a few pieces of modern Egyptian style jewelry - and we've been looking on ebay for old stuff. I have a 1930's choker style Egyptian necklace and need to get it out and wear it!

Here's a necklace from around 700-1000BC (not mine, it's in a museum. :blah:)

I have just bought a Egyptain ring from London in one of the big stores. its amazing done in gold with an oval centre, in the centre is wood, which I know sounds really strange, but the wood has gone hard and is shaped like a scarab, the oval flips over and their is writing in the wood on the other side which is Egyptian
