3. What lay at the heart of Egyptian civilization?

Egypt's symbols and myths, which proved to be long lasting, and the basis of prehistoric kingship were at the heart of Egyptian Civilization. The temple represented the original mound of creation, with a shrine surrounding a perch were hawks would land. This myth caused a whole theory of society to be formed. The temple was a depiction of the first time when a stable society had been handed down to humankind. This pattern would be maintained by kingship, law, religion, and ritual. The ancient beliefs of the myth still remain with us today.
