Abstract

Bricks " Nile- Mud " religious Architecture archaeological evidence  have had symbolic meaning ,which  the element necessary for the creation, The use of bricks was quite complex . which were made of the black alluvial "Nile –Mud" bricks that was the fertile substratum of the Egyptian cosmos . the religious role and the purpose of using of "Nile-Mud" have had a deeper creative meaning in Ancient Egypt .. emerging from the floodwaters when they receded and forming a part of the primeval mound . which Re-Atum stood to create the cosmos and Khnum create and made the people from bricks-pottery . Perhaps magical bricks , the bricks of rebirth which supported and presumably protected a mother during childbirth and they formed a platform upon which the infant was laid while its social destiny was then inscribed upon the bricks by Thoth .After death ,the bricks again served as support and protection during the metaphorical rebirth into the afterlife , which affected the way his or her life was judged . As an extension of their role in human birth ,the four bricks can be seen to have had a role in protecting temples , which were thought to be similarly born . also the function of Osiris bricks  was to contain "Nile- Mud "bricks the element necessary for the creation of an Osiris –Vegetant . Perhaps the Egyptians wished to  invoke the power from bricks in their quits to to create  and be reborn after death
