Egyptian playing cards



SCARABEAUS


he inspiration for Egyptian cards originated from ancient Egyptian culture. Its history and lifestyle are quite diverse. Egyptian mythology, traditions, and beliefs have always been impressive to me, which is why I decided to create a card on this topic.




K---The inspiration for this card was generally Pharaoh
Q--- The idea of ​​the queen'ს card is of course Nefertiti, the most famous and beautiful woman in the history of Egypt.
J---And the prince is a priest who occupied quite a large place in the royal court of the pharaoh




The cards also have a lot of little details from Egyptian culture, for example: the scarab beetle on the cover of the pack and on the back of the card. the scarab beetle was associated with the sun god Ra and represented resurrection, transformation, and protection.




he clubs is The ankh, often referred to as the "key of life" or the "key of the Nile," was an ancient Egyptian symbol representing life and immortality.

The diamond card is a symbol of Sirius, which is associated with the creation of the Egyptian calendar

The circle and rays in the center of the card of spades are symbols of one of the most important gods, Aten.




Finally, the eyes of "Ra" and "Horus" represent the sun and the moon. Also associated with the Eye of Horus is the appearance of the phases of the moon
