These factors that Hathor reveals tells us that Ancient Egyptians had time to love, look beautiful, enjoy the music that they had and have time to laugh with family and friends. She also delivers the feeling of being safe to the Egyptians, by driving evil out of their land by playing the sistrum and also being the protecter of pregnant women. She was there to provide a safe and healthy well being for everyone that praised her. ======
