THANATOLOGICAL MYTH IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND ANCIENT IRANIAN WORLD: SOME PARALLELS
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.sidebar##
Abstract
In the basis of the funerary rites there is the system of the mythological representations of the afterlife and the archetype mythologems which create the ideological model for practical ritual actions. The similarity of the Egyptian and Iranian versions of Thanathological myths is discussed and compared in the paper. The two-stage structure of these narrations can be connected with process of the centralized state and the royal power forming. Early written tradition in both cultures could fix the certain transitive moment of laying of a new variant on the archaic myth.
