Description
Frogs were used as amulets by the Ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians believed frogs sprang forth from the mud, probably due to the large numbers of baby frogs that must have appeared in the mud each year when the flood waters receded. Frog statuettes were placed on the mummy to impart the frog's powers of regeneration to the deceased and provide him with water in the afterlife.

Les grenouilles étaient utilisées comme amulettes par les anciens Egyptiens. Les Egyptiens croyaient que les grenouilles se créaient elles-mêmes à partir de la boue, sans doute en raison du grand nombre de bébés grenouilles qui apparaissaient chaque année dans la boue lorsque les eaux de la crue se retiraient. Des statuettes de grenouilles étaient placées sur la momie afin de communiquer les pouvoirs de régénération de la grenouille au défunt et de lui offrir de l'eau dans l'au-delà.
كان المصريون القدماء يستخدمون الضفادع كتمائم، حيث أنهم اعتقدوا أن الضفادع تخلق من الطين، وربما رجع ذلك للأعداد الكبيرة من الضفادع الوليدة التى كانت تخرج كل عام من الطين بعد انحسار الفيضان. وكانت تماثيل الضفادع توضع فوق المومياء لكى تعطيها قوة الضفدعة لإعادة بعث المتوفى وضمان إمداده بالماء فى العالم الآخر.
