Y for Yamm


Yamm, the power of the sea untamed and raging; he is seen as ruling storms and the disasters they wreak. He was a tyrannical god found in a fragmentary papyrus (Astarte Papyrus) which seems to hint that his exorbitant demands for tribute from the other deities were eventually thwarted by the goddess Astarte.

The challenge is almost over, I hope I didn't bore you to death with my "Egyptian stuff". There is only one more letter in an alphabet...

Tomorrow will be my stitching update (smile).

So long my friends,
Evalina

  1. Yaam--I love the full power of the sea and every one of its other moods. Your examples of Egyptian words are fresh and exciting to me.

  2. Yam sounds a bit like Zeus, who was god of thunder, and seen as rather angry and raging. Over from A to Z saying hi! Catherine

  3. I didn't know about Yamm. Only yams.
