Akhet (Horizon of Light)

Akhet, often called the "Horizon of Light," is an ancient Egyptian term referring to the daily rising or setting of the sun at the horizon, symbolizing renewal and the cycle of life. In their spiritual and artistic symbolism, it represents the boundary between the earthly and divine realms, where the sun god Re appears or disappears. Akhet also signifies rebirth and the promise of renewal, serving as a key motif in temple carvings and tomb inscriptions to express continuity, hope, and connection between the mortal world and the divine sun deity.
