White Lotus Flower
The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from ancient
Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion. The
pure white lotus flower, the only plant to fruit and flower
simultaneously, emerges from the depths of the muddy swamp. Growing
from the mud at the bottom of ponds and streams, the exquisite Lotus
flower rises above the water and is usually white or pink with 15 or
more oval, spreading petals, and a peculiar, flat seedcase at its
center.
Sesen A Lotus Flower. This is a symbol of the sun, of creation and
rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at
dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a
giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning
of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day. A
symbol of Upper Egypt .The lotus flower played a prominent role in the
version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before
the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert
water which constituted the primeval being named Nun. Out of Nun
emerged a lotus flower, together with a single mound of dry land. The
lotus blossoms opened, and out stepped the self-created sun god, Atum,
as a child. A slightly different version of the creation story
originated in Hermopolis. In that version, the sun god who formed
himself from the chaos of Nun emerged from the lotus petals as Ra. The
lotus is a flower which opens and closes each day. His history went on
to say that the petals of the lotus blossom enfolded him when he
returned to it each night.
The lotus flower has been featured extensively throughout the art of ancient Egypt. In various works of art, you may see it held in the hand of a god or human, serving as a border to outline a section of the artwork, unfolding to reveal various gods or humans, and many other depictions. The ancient Egyptians from the 4th dynasty greatly valued the sacred lotus, in religious ceremonies and funerals. The ancient Egyptians developed the art of counting to a high degree, but their system of numeration was very crude. For example, the number 1,000 was symbolized by a picture of a lotus flower, and the number 2,000 was symbolized by a picture of two lotus flowers growing out of a bush.
