Abstract
Sacred Space is not uniformly perceived. The landscape is experienced in
diff erent ways, with greater or lesser human adhesion. The case of the Egyptian
civilization is no exception. Indeed, the different components of the Egyptian land are assigned to different gods. Contrary to the idea of ‘Mother-Earth’, the most common Egyptian associations with earth are expressed through male deities. Connecting theoretical contributions of the phenomenology of landscape with the core of relations between Egyptian nature and religious beliefs, I intend to (re)consider topics on sacred nature, cosmic sacredness but also fertility in ancient Egypt.
