Résumé

For over three thousand years, the ancient Egyptians turned to a single symbol to uphold their world: the Djed, the Pillar of the Gods. More than an amulet, more than a hieroglyph, the Djed was the very spine of the cosmos-an axis of power that held heaven and earth apart, resurrected the god Osiris from death, guided the pharaoh's soul into eternity, and anchored the universe in unshakeable order.
Djed, Pillar of the Gods takes readers on a sweeping journey from its mysterious predynastic origins to its central place in Egypt's grandest festivals, temples, tombs, and cosmic philosophies. Through myth, archaeology, ritual, and architectural symbolism, this book reveals how a simple pillar became the engine of resurrection, the guarantor of kingship, and the ultimate expression of ma'at-truth, harmony, and eternal balance.
Drawing on cutting-edge Egyptology and the latest archaeological discoveries, this definitive volume uncovers the Djed as it has never been seen before: a living symbol that shaped every corner of Egyptian thought. From the sacred posts of Abydos to the monumental temples of Memphis, from the Pyramid Texts to the Osirian Mysteries, the Djed's story is nothing less than the story of how a civilization understood life, death, and eternity.
Rich, immersive, and meticulously researched, Djed, Pillar of the Gods is an essential work for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt, symbolism, mythology, or the eternal quest to understand what holds the world together.
