Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to show the origin of some remarkable and distinguished contemporary common sayings and expressions in the ancient Egyptian sources represented in the statues, the wall scenes inside the tombs, the pictorial signs in the words and the tales. The common sayings are associated with the essential role of the woman in the society such as for example “Behind a great man is a great woman", “wife is the mainstay of the house" and “the obedient wife is under the legs of her husbands". Other expressions are rhetorically used to describe the characters of the person like “his heart is like feather", “he suckled tenderness from the breast of his mother", “her face is like owl", “she deserves to be burned" and “she put our heads in the mud". Other says are associated with condition of the person like “Sleep flied from the eyes" and “the atmosphere is messy".
