The Sycamore in Egyptian Texts

 

The sycamore tree also appeared in the Egyptian text, the "Book of Dead." According to the text, there were two sycamore trees that stood at the eastern gate of Heaven. Between the trees, this is where the Sun God, Ra, showed himself each morning.

 

It's clear that the sycamore was therefore very important in ancient Egyptian culture, and even the hieroglyphic symbol of a tree is remarkably similar to a sycamore. Also, the sarcophagi, or coffins, were carved from the wood of a sycamore tree and when someone died, a sycamore was often planted next to the tomb. It seems, therefore, that the sycamore was a symbol of protection for the Egyptians.
