ABSTRACT

A Symbolic Truth Is Contained In The Mythological Texts Of Ancient Egypt. Despite The Bird Totem’s Various External Forms, They Represent the Process of Human Rebirth, I Selected the Bird Man Totem as My Research Object, Along With the Sun Gods Atum Ra, Ihri, and And Horus. There Is A Common Theme In These Bird Totems, Which Is That Birds Represent The Interme-diary Through Which People Connect With Their Higher Self, Then Become One With God. To Conceptualize Bird Totems Philo-sophically, We Will Reconstruct Hegel And Jung's Argument That Death And Rebirth Are The Intermediaries Of Unconscious-ness.

KEYWORDS:

The totem symbol; The sun god; Isis; Horus; Hegel; Jung; Death; Rebirth
