In May 1895, Giuseppe Botti found in the great temple of Serapis, a pillar bearing a dedicatory inscription: "To the great god Serapis and sunnaoi (deities sharing the temple) for the safety of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus". A few days later, parts of the Apis bull statue were found on the surface at the northeastern corner of the building leading to the underground galleries. The head was separated from the body as well as the tail and parts of the hooves. These parts remained for three years in the courtyard of the Alexandria municipality building until Chiess Bey, head of the museum committee of the municipal council, managed to obtain funds for its restoration. The Italian sculptor M.V. Marcucci took responsibility and pointed out the attaching point of the pillar under the belly because of a socket cut there.
This statue was probably dedicated to Hadrian or from the emperor himself to Serapis in the Alexandria temple, during his visit to Egypt in 130 AD. The bull was a sacred symbol of Osiris-Hapi, the god of Memphis, an Egyptian deity since Pharaonic times as a god of the underworld and a symbol of the annual resurrection of nature, and later on, turned into Serapis, and was worshipped by both Egyptians and Greeks.
The statue depicts the Apis bull in a naturalistic way, which appears clearly in the area below the chin. A layer of short hair appears on the forehead and two growing horns with the sun disk between them and a uraeus in front. The movement of the ears indicates sensitive listening, which alludes to the god responding to the supplication of its worshippers.

The bull Apis with the crescent moon between its horns was depicted at Pompeii in connection with the cult of Isis. Here Apis was understood as an expression of Osiris, the consort of Isis, and possibly as Serapis. From the Insula occidentalis of Pompeii. 40-50 AD. Inv. 8971.

A bee numbed by the cold found in shade in a wet meadow in February. I put her in the sun on a dandelion flower where she greedily fed, before flying to the hive.

maledette api
ammicco le palpebre nell' angolo del silenzio ed esposto
al vento mi metto in disordine per colpa di un segnale di ritorno.
mi pulisco le spalle dalla ruggine ferrigna e con una decisa
testata rompo uno strato di ghiaccio opaco.
una farfalla emette un ronzio simile al cigolio di una trottola
da gioco.
esaurito da una visione stupefacente , osservo lo spettacolo
di un'aurora boreale in vena di scherzi : salta , balla
si eleva priva di senso , quasi fischietta...
e infine l'apparizione di un apicoltore e le sue maledette
api da compagnia ; il suo viso è rubicondo, pieno di chiazze rosse….
che sia forse morbillo?

Wild or domesticated animals had a vital role in ancient Egypt. The exhibition "Animals and Pharaohs" shows the role and importance of animals in Pharaonic civilization.
Consisting of more than four hundred pieces the exhibit reconstructs the relationship between animals and men religious beliefs , nature and culture, from admiration and fear in everyday life, war or in agriculture.
Les animaux sauvages o domestiques ont joué un rôle fondamental en Ancienne Egypte. L'exposition "Animals i faraons" montre la fonction et l'importance que les animaux ont eu au sein de la civilisation faraonique.
Comprennant plus de 400 pièces, l'exposition reconstruit les rapports entre hommes et animaux, la nature et la culture, depuis l'admiration et la peur dans la vie quotidienne, dans l'agriculture, la guerre et les croyances religieuses.

Honeybees, like most insects, look at the world through compound eyes. These are made of hundreds of small simple eyes called ommatidia. The images received by all the ommatidia are put together in the insect's brain to give it a very different way of seeing the world. This was taken in my garden.
Designed and folded by me from a square of Fabriano paper.
I'm totally re-designing my previous model of this egyptian god, Apis.
So here is the head, with the solar disk and a try of snake head .
I'll try to integrate it in a new bull body...Hope it will count for the ancient Egypt challenge...
And hope you like it ^^
Die Honigbienen (Apis) sind eine Gattung aus der Familie der Echten Bienen (Apidae). Die Gattung umfasst je nach taxonomischer Auffassung sieben bis zwölf staatenbildendeArten, von denen die meisten nur in Asienheimisch sind.
Für die weltweite Imkerei hat die Westliche Honigbiene die größte Bedeutung; in vielen asiatischen Ländern wird auch die dort ursprünglich vorkommende Östliche Honigbiene in einfachen Klotzbeuten oder Höhlungen von Mauern gehalten. Diese beiden Arten brüten im Schutz von Höhlen und konnten sich dadurch sehr weit aus den tropischen Regionen heraus in gemäßigtere Klimazonen ausbreiten, wodurch sich insbesondere bei der Westlichen Honigbiene regional verschiedene Unterartenherausgebildet haben. Eine natürliche Grenze der Besiedelung wird oft durch Gebirge oder Inseln gebildet.
Daneben gibt es die wild lebenden Arten mit frei hängenden Nestern, die in bescheidenem Umfang zur Honiggewinnung genutzt werden, vor allem die Riesenhonigbiene und die Zwerghonigbiene – dies wird als Honigjagdbezeichnet. Der Kliffhonigbiene droht dadurch die Ausrottung.
___________________________
A honey bee (or honeybee) is any member of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Currently, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies, though historically six to eleven species are recognized. The best known honey bee is the Western honey bee which has been domesticated for honey production and crop pollination. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Dome other types of related bees produce and store honey, including the stingless honey bees, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. The study of bees, which includes the study of honey bees, is known as melittology.

A newly emerged worker honeybee, Apis mellifera scutellata, feeding on honey.
This bee was on of the bees used in two Honours projects, the first was to determine the effect of neonicitenoids on honey bees, and the second was to determine how more carbohydrates in the diet affects bee weight and development.
