This app contains an ancient Egyptian hymn and prayer offered to the god Ptah by Pharaoh Ramesses III (20th Dynasty, 1186–1155 BCE). Translated into English from the original hieroglyphics of the Papyrus Harris I. Two different translations of the hymn are provided.


Who is Ptah?
Ptah was the God of Memphis, the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom. He was considered the Demiurge or Creator who existed before all other things: "Ptah conceives the world by the thought of His heart and gives life through the magic of His Word." He was the God of craftsmen and architects, and the ancient Greeks identified Him with Hephaestus, the God of blacksmiths, stonemasonry, and metallurgy. In the divine triad of Memphis, Ptah is the husband of Sekhmet and the father of Nefertum. He was also regarded as the father of the architect-sage-physician Imhotep.
