{"Image ImageDescription": "[Egypt 29894]\n\u2018Bee and rush hieroglyph at Abydos.\u2019\n\nIn royal nomenclature the rush and the bee hieroglyph generally precede the name of the pharaoh, meaning \u201cHe who belongs to the rush and the bee\u201d, where the rush was the emblem of Upper Egypt and the bee of Lower Egypt. \nOn the broad delta plains of Lower Egypt apiculture must have had a tradition and importance dating back thousands of years, and it was in the religious circles of the central delta where the symbolism of the bee developed. According to one Egyptian myth, bees were the tears of the sun god Ra.\nThe relief detail can be found on a pilaster of the north wall in the Chapel of Amun, one of the seven chapels that are located directly west of the Second Hypostyle Hall of the Seti I Temple at Abydos.\nThe Seti Temple at Abydos was begun by Seti I and completed by his son Ramses II in the 13th century BC.
