“Hathor's maternal aspects can be compared with those of Isis and Mut, yet there are many contrasts between them. Isis's devotion to her husband and care for their child represented a more socially acceptable form of love than Hathor's uninhibited sexuality, and Mut's character was more authoritative than sexual.The text of the first century AD Insinger Papyrus likens a faithful wife, the mistress of a household, to Mut, while comparing Hathor to a strange woman who tempts a married man.

Foreign lands and goods

Egypt maintained trade relations with the coastal cities of Syria and Canaan, particularly Byblos, placing Egyptian religion in contact with the religions of that region. At some point, perhaps as early as the Old Kingdom, the Egyptians began to refer to the patron goddess of Byblos, Baalat Gebal, as a local form of Hathor. So strong was Hathor's link to Byblos that texts from Dendera say she resided there. The Egyptians sometimes equated Anat, an aggressive Canaanite goddess who came to be worshipped in Egypt during the New Kingdom, with Hathor. Some Canaanite artworks depict a nude goddess with a curling wig taken from Hathor's iconography. Which goddess these images represent is not known, but the Egyptians adopted her iconography and came to regard her as an independent deity, Qetesh, whom they associated with Hathor.”

>> LoL! I’m holding my ribs and roaring in laughter. Check out this beauty of paragraph anons. (((They))) tell you the City-State’s name = Byblos which is clearly Phoenician; it’s in fact one of the oldest Phoenician City-States. But amazingly the names Phoenicia and/or Lebanon are not mentioned. Instead (((they))) use Syria, Canaan and the funniest is “that region”! LoL! THAT REGION! I bet (((they))) choke on the name if (((they))) say it out loud. Is it that hard to say Phoenicia? Why aren’t (((they))) saying it? It’s just a name of an old country after all, nothing to it. Or is there something to it? Think anons, think.

So it’s Isis/Hathor and she resided = lived in the Gebal City-State for some time. The link between Gebal City-State and Ancient Egypt Hathor/Isis was STRONG. (((They))) tell us in this Wikipedia page that the Ancient Egyptians equate Baalat of Gebal = Lady of Gebal to Anat, but don’t give us a source, an artifact, and don’t tell us how or why. Incredible! We are supposed to believe (((their))) word. Seems like Dendera site is holding more than one secret/mystery.

Another beauty is this sentence: “Some Canaanite artworks depict a nude goddess with a curling wig taken from Hathor's iconography” = it’s incredible how vague this sentence is. We don’t know the name of the goddess, her description and where she was specifically worshiped. We also don’t know what these artifacts are and where they were found. (((They))) won’t tell you that a part of these artifacts representing this mysterious goddess were found in current day Israel. Shh! Nothing to see here. And just because 2 ladies have curly hair, it doesn’t mean they are one and same person. It simply means both have curly hair and that’s it.

“Hathor's solar character may have played a role in linking her with trade: she was believed to protect ships on the Nile and in the seas beyond Egypt, as she protected the barque of Ra in the sky. The mythological wandering of the Eye goddess in Nubia or Libya gave her a connection with those lands as well.”

>> Isis played the same exact role (page 848), didn’t she? I keep on wondering why both deities were protecting ships. Is it something that’s got to do with the Great Flood and the Ark? Were they on board and protected the Ark with their special powers during the cataclysm? Or is this due to the Nile navigation? Maybe trade nagivation with the Phoenician and Chypriotes?

“Hathor was closely connected with the Sinai Peninsula, which was not considered part of Egypt proper but was the site of Egyptian mines for copper, turquoise, and malachite during the Middle and New Kingdoms. One of Hathor's epithets, "Lady of Mefkat", may have referred specifically to turquoise or to all blue-green minerals. She was also called "Lady of Faience", a blue-green ceramic that Egyptians likened to turquoise. Hathor was also worshipped at various quarries and mining sites in Egypt's Eastern Desert, such as the amethyst mines of Wadi el-Hudi, where she was sometimes called "Lady of Amethyst".

South of Egypt, Hathor's influence was thought to have extended over the land of Punt, which lay along the Red Sea coast and was a major source for the incense with which Hathor was linked, as well as with Nubia, northwest of Punt. The autobiography of Harkhuf, an official in the Sixth Dynasty (c. 2345–2181 BC), describes his expedition to a land in or near Nubia, from which he brought back great quantities of ebony, panther skins, and incense for the king. The text describes these exotic goods as Hathor's gift to the pharaoh.Egyptian expeditions to mine gold in Nubia introduced her cult to the region during the Middle and New Kingdoms, and New Kingdom pharaohs built several temples to her in the portions of Nubia that they ruled.

Afterlife

Hathor was one of several goddesses believed to assist deceased souls in the afterlife. One of these was Imentet, the goddess of the west, who personified the necropolises, or clusters of tombs, on the west bank of the Nile, and the realm of the afterlife itself. She was often regarded as a specialized manifestation of Hathor.

Just as she crossed the boundary between Egypt and foreign lands, Hathor passed through the boundary between the living and the Duat, the realm of the dead. She helped the spirits of deceased humans enter the Duat and was closely linked with tomb sites, where that transition began.The Theban necropolis, for example, was often portrayed as a stylized mountain with the cow of Hathor emerging from it. Her role as a sky goddess was also linked to the afterlife. Because the sky goddess—either Nut or Hathor—assisted Ra in his daily rebirth, she had an important part in ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs, according to which deceased humans were reborn like the sun god. Coffins, tombs, and the underworld itself were interpreted as the womb of this goddess, from which the deceased soul would be reborn.
