Throughout House of Anubis[]
Various symbols have appeared in different images and forms and have been considered symbols of power, corruption and many other meanings.
The Symbol of the Eye[]
It is usually an oval line representing the human eye with a point in the center, it is generally a signal for the locket to be placed where said symbol is drawn in order to open a secret compartment, a passageway, etc.
The Symbol of Flames[]
It is a symbol that represents fire, it usually appears drawn as yellow flames of fire with red edges, in the first season Nina, Fabian and Amber find the ring of the glass in the basem*nt because the symbol was on the wall. As in other cultures, fire was an ambivalent element; that is, it was considered both beneficial and harmful, purifying and devastating.
Fire was what the serpent goddess (Ureos) gave off when she got angry, what she spat out of her when - placed on the forehead of Ra or the monarch - she protected him against all the evil that she wanted to attack him. It was the element that some deities used to scare off evil forces. Because of the thermal properties of the Sun, the Egyptians suspected that it was fire and as such placed their dwelling in a place called "the island of flames" or "Island of Fire". This "fire" was perceived every morning in the red-tinged sunrises.
Fire could be a symbol of life and health, so essential that the deceased felt the need for it as energy to keep their body "alive"; precisely for this function they were buried with certain talismans, called hypocephalus. Despite its purifying qualities, as a dangerous and fearsome element, it also had to be conjured so that it would not harm the deceased. Also as a purifying element, it served to undo certain wax figurines that reproduced some animals (virtually simulating their real sacrifice) or the image of the enemies to which they were endowed with personality thanks to the reproduction of their characteristic appearance and the inscription that it was engraved or painted on the surface of the figure.
It is cited on many occasions as a means of torture for those condemned in the Hereafter, as martyrdom for those who had not been righteous on earth. The beings that died burned had no possibility that their Ba would survive in eternity and the souls condemned in the judgment of the Hereafter also suffered this punishment or capital punishment (Lake Of Fire).
The Symbol of Ra[]
It is a symbol marked most of the time in a circle, it has a pyramid with its tip highlighted in black and it has 6 lines on each side. It is associated with the Egyptian goddess called Ra, who represents the Sun, every object with her mark is charged with the magic of the Egyptian solar god.
Mark of Anubis[]
- Main article: Mark of Anubis
It is a symbol that represents the god Anubis, only the silhouette of his head as a jackal. The mark was a curse and a symbol to show that they belonged to Senkhara now and would do whatever she desired them to do. When she became angry with Sibuna, Senkhara could make the mark burn and cause them a lot of pain.
The Cross of Ankh[]
It is a cross with an oval outline, similar to the Christian cross (only that it dates from many years before). It is usually painted yellow in allusion to gold, it represents life itself and the Egyptians believed that once a person died, the god Anubis placed an Ankh cross in his mouth so that the deceased could chant the spells and thus pass the obstacles in Duat.
The Symbol of Gold Trinity[]
They are three paths of golden or yellow color that are joined by a red Sun that makes them intertwine with each other and, therefore, have a point in common as they are paths that touch. It is a symbol that represents the conception of the golden trinity in Ancient Egypt, the three most relevant deities for the Egyptian people are Osiris, Isis and Horus. It can also represent childhood, youth and old age, among others.
When KT and Eddie searched for the fourth piece of the Osiris staff in the Summer House, they were helped by a stained glass window bearing the symbol.
The Symbol of the Sceptre[]
The sceptre is a symbol that appeared often in relics, art, and hieroglyphics associated with the ancient Egyptian religion. Sceptres were used as symbols of power or dominion, and were associated with ancient Egyptian deities such as Set or Anubis as well as with the pharaoh. Sceptres also represent the Set animal. In later use, it was a symbol of control over the force of chaos that Set represented.
In a funerary context the was sceptre was responsible for the well-being of the deceased, and was thus sometimes included in the tomb equipment or in the decoration of the tomb or coffin. The sceptre is also considered an amulet. The Egyptians perceived the sky as being supported on four pillars, which could have the shape of the staff.
Sceptres were depicted as being carried by gods, pharaohs, and priests. They commonly occur in paintings, drawings, and carvings of gods, and often parallel with emblems such as the ankh and the djed-pillar. Remnants of real was sceptres have been found. The earliest examples date to the First Dynasty.
