Abstract

The migration of birds to northern Africa during the winter is quite common in the Nile Delta. The arrival of these birds in the Egyptian skies fascinated the ancient Egyptians who include these species in the scenes decorating the walls of the temples and the tombs. Considering the fishing, clap netting and fowling scenes in the papyrus thickets in ancient Egypt, so many birds were depicted in these scenes such as: Hoopoe, purple Gallinule, Cormorant, Golden Oriole and Lapwing. These birds are shown in a very symmetrical manner. Rather than flying in various directions, they are arranged flying to the left and the right. Among these species the research focuses on the lapwing bird and its representation in the ancient Egyptian tombs, as most of scholars concentrated only on studying the religious symbol of the Lapwing and it's relation with the royalty . The research aims to study the various scenes of the Lapwing bird in the ancient Egyptian tombs, to illuminate the characteristic behaviors of the Lapwing bird in these scenes and to understand the purpose from depicting the Lapwing bird in the ancient Egyptian burial tombs.
