由于地处鸟儿迁徙的航线,尼罗河三角洲的湿地成为每年成千上万的欧陆候鸟,历经黎凡特和西奈干旱的土地或经地中海的长途飞行后必经的歇脚之地。这样的壮观景象自然不会被观察敏锐、对自然环境极其敏感的古埃及人所忽视。大量的文献以图像、写本、动物志的方式表明,在东部撒哈拉的古代狩猎地带、尼罗河谷和西部沙漠绿洲定居点,都留下了古埃及人有效利用鸟儿来帮助自己生活的印记。他们想尽办法捕获鸟儿,将鸟儿圈养起来,让它们为自己的日常生活服务。无论是作为生存的食物,还是用来祭祀死者和神明的祭品,鸟儿都在古代埃及人的日常生活中扮演着不可或缺的角色。
Due to the route of bird migration, the wetlands in the Nile Delta become a must stop for thousands of European migratory birds each year, after prolonged flights to the Levant and Sinai or long flights through the Mediterranean. Such spectacular scenes are naturally not overlooked by ancient Egyptians who are sensitive to the natural environment and sensitive to the natural environment. Numerous documents, in the form of images, scripts and zodiac signs, show the ancient Egyptians’ use of birds to help them live their lives in the ancient hunting grounds of the Sahara in the east, the Nile Valley and the settlements in the western desert oasis. They try their best to capture the birds, keep the birds captive, and serve them for their daily lives. Whether as food for survival or sacrificial offerings to sacrifice the dead and gods, birds play an indispensable role in the daily life of ancient Egyptians.
