Ka. A city and nome in |

Ka. "Touch." An obscure Egyptian divinity, named in the XVIIth chapter of=

Ka. A daughter of Amen-em-ap, a priest of =

Ra, in the XVIIIth dynasty. She had also a sister named Ta-na-ra. (1876c1=

ka: the soul or "double"; sometimes the personality or for=

of a man. (1894e1) |

Ka. "Existence." In Egyptian mythology one of the five component parts of the

Sah, etc. (1876c1) |
|
Ka.
The Ka in Egyptian pneumatology was one of the seven parts of man. It cor=
responds
to the genius of classic writ=
ers,
constituting a separate entity, a kind of spiritual double, as the Fravas=
his
of the Zoroastrians. "As the Roman appeased his genius, so is the
Egyptian king frequently sculptured in the act of propitiating his own
Ka." The prayers in the tombs are for oblations to the Ka of the
deceased. In the earliest times we find mention of the office of hen ka, i.e. minister or priest =
of the
Ka. In birth scenes, as in that of Hatshepsut at Dêr-el-Bahri there=
are
always two little figures represented, one that of the royal infant, the
other his Ka. That the ordinary Egyptian found some little difficulty in =
so
entirely abstract a conception is evidenced by the fact that he made stat=
ues
for the Ka to inhabit when the body was dead and mummified. These were ex=
act
likenesses of the deceased, and one or more were placed in a serdab (q.v.) in the tomb for the use of=
the
Ka. Each king had a special Ka name enclosed in a kind of square cartouch=
e on
a banner. It was not only human beings who had Kas but everything, gods,
localities, furnishings, and in order that the Ka might be well served,
objects he might be supposed to want were broken to free their Kas, and
placed in the tomb. The idea is almost equivalent to Paracelsus' theory o=
f astral
bodies. (See SETEN-HETEP-TA.)=
ILLUS. Ka figure. ILLUS. Ka banner.(1902b1)
