Egyptian Mythology T-Shirts in India: Every Design in the Egypt Mythos Collection
Every Egyptian mythology t-shirt and pendant in Neolithic's Egypt Mythos collection: Anubis, Seth, Sobek, Serqet. Oversized cotton, shipped from India.
Egypt built its whole afterlife around a moment on a scale. It feared a second death more than the first. It made a god of the crocodile, a goddess of the scorpion, and a place beside the sun for the god of chaos.
The Egypt Mythos collection at Neolithic Store puts seven of those ideas on oversized tees, and two symbols in bronze. This is every piece, and the story behind each.
The tees
Lighter Than The Feather, ₹2,869
Egypt did not ask whether you lived well. It asked whether your heart was light. In the Hall of Two Truths, Anubis sets the heart of the dead against the feather of Ma’at. Balance it and the road goes on. Tip it and Ammit is already waiting. The heart was kept in the body through every stage of embalming because it, not the brain, was thought to hold the record of a life.

Names Outlive Time, ₹1,899
Egypt knew two deaths. The first takes the body. The second is the day your name is spoken for the last time, and when the name goes, the soul goes with it. So kings sealed their names in cartouches of stone, and enemies were punished with chisels, their names hacked from monuments. The cartouche on this tee is a name-ring carved to refuse the second death.

Sigil of Contained Chaos, ₹1,899
Egypt did not banish its god of chaos. Seth, lord of storms and deserts, was given the prow of the sun-barque, where each night he alone was violent enough to drive back the serpent of annihilation. The piece stands him upright in profile with his staff, a slash of oxblood torn behind him: disorder pressed into form, force held and not erased. What is contained is never tame. Ink and oxblood on Bone White.

What the Eye Became, ₹1,899
Ra sent his Eye to end mankind, and the Eye became a lioness. Sekhmet drank the blood-red beer laid out to stop her and woke as Hathor: the mercy in the myth is the lioness choosing to stop. A black lioness walks out of an oxblood splash, a golden cobra at her crown. Ink and oxblood on Bone White.

Sobek, Lord of the Nile, ₹2,099
The Nile gave Egypt everything, and it took just as freely. In the same water that made the desert bloom waited the crocodile, silent beneath the surface, older than the temples. The Egyptians could have called it a monster. They called it a god. Sobek is the strength of the Nile itself, fertility and destruction in the same jaws. Worn on black.

Guardian of Venom, ₹2,099
Egypt did not pray to be spared the scorpion. It prayed to the scorpion. Serqet, who wears it as her crown, commands venom in both directions: the sting that kills and the breath that returns to paralysed lungs. She guarded the dead through the night of embalming. Egypt understood that only what can poison can truly guard. Cream and gold on midnight.

Eye of Horus, ₹2,099
Horus lost the eye fighting Seth for the throne of Egypt. It was torn to pieces, then gathered and restored, and the restored eye became more powerful than the whole one had ever been. Egypt wore the Wedjat on the living and buried it with the dead for three thousand years, as protection and not as decoration. The front carries the eye under a falcon’s wing, oxblood running from the tear. It watches back.

The pendants
The pendants are cast in solid bronze and finished by hand with an antique patina. Bronze deepens with time and with the warmth of the body that wears it, so no two pieces age the same way.
Eye of Horus, The Watching Eye Pendant, ₹7,199
The eye that was torn apart and restored, and in its restoration became the mark of protection. The Wedjat does not simply watch. It guards. Approx. 32mm, 18g.

The Scarab, Pendant of Becoming, ₹6,657
The beetle that carries the sun out of darkness and returns each morning from the dust. The oldest promise: what descends will climb back into the light. Approx. 34mm, 24g.

Fabric, fit and care
Every Egypt Mythos tee is cut oversized, in 100% bio-washed cotton, with a crew neck and short sleeves, in sizes S to 4XL. Machine wash at 30°C. Weights differ by design. 240 GSM: Lighter Than The Feather, Names Outlive Time, Sigil of Contained Chaos, What the Eye Became, Sobek, Guardian of Venom and Eye of Horus. Cotton at 190 GSM or lower works better for overlock knit and a good yarn count: the seams sit flatter and the fabric feels finer.
