Medjed refers to two distinct entities in ancient Egyptian mythology, both associated with the god Osiris: a god mentioned in the Book of the Dead, and a species of fish worshipped as sacred. ==God== Spell 17 of the Book of the Dead mentions, among many obscure gods, one Medjed (meaning "the Smiter"), in the following line: :"I know the name of that Smiter among them, who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen." Nothing else is known about that god.〔 In the illustration to the spell on sheet 76 of the Greenfield papyrus, what is thought to be Medjed〔 is depicted as a figure covered entirely in a conical covering except for the eyes and feet, which are visible. After the papyrus was exhibited in Tokyo in 2012, this depiction began appearing in Japanese popular culture, including as an Internet meme and as a character in video games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Medjed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
