Definition: In the English Revised Version (KJV), "Alvira" refers to a type of idol that was used in ancient Egyptian, especially during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, as well as later during the rule of the pharaohs Tuthmosis I and Khufu. The idols were typically made from bronze or granite and were believed to be connected with gods. The word "Alvira" is derived from the Greek words "alva" which means "God," and "ria" meaning "god." It was a term used in ancient Egyptian symbolism and mythology, often referring to an individual who holds a sacred place of worship or power. However, it's important to note that these ideas were not universal and different societies and cultures had their own beliefs about gods. The idols of the pharaohs Tuthmosis I and Khufu are generally believed to be a form of deified Egyptian gods (Morpheus and Osiris respectively) who served as protectors or guides for the pharaoh. However, it's important to note that these ideas were not always fully understood or universally accepted by all cultures. The term "Alvira" has its roots in both ancient Greek and Hebrew mythology, representing the belief that humans are connected with deities through a series of divine intermediaries, such as priests or goddesses.
