Amulets are magic objects which are carried on the person. The Egyptian words that refer to these objects are "sa" and

"mkt" which are used for protective objects alone and "wedjet" which is used to refer to talisman as well. The first amulets of ancient Egypt date to about 4000 BCE and are found among burial goods in graves. The most common type found from this time period is a female hippopotomi.
