Abstrakt
Anthropology and Egyptology share the same interest in mortuary rituals. However, the higher-order interpretative framework developed by anthropology is not standardly applied by Egyptology.
The present study focuses on summarizing a comparative framework of mortuary rituals and applying it to the study of bodily fluids in ancient Egypt. The bodily fluids under discussion-menstrual blood, milk, efflux of Osiris (rDw-fluids), and semen-have been chosen because of their specific connection to birth and rebirth in the ancient Egyptian symbolical system.
