aS-tree was known in ancient Egypt since Pre-dynastic Period and had great importance as one of the sacred trees of ancient Egypt that was associated with Osiris. aS-tree was the tree that magically grew up around the body of Osiris when his sarcophagus was washed up on the shores of Byblos. Through the conflict between Horus and Seth, Horus used a boat made of aS-tree in his conflict against Seth who usurped the rightful rule of Horus. In the tale of the two brothers, Bata went to the valley of the aS-trees to hide from the oppression of his brother. aS-tree was important in the manufacture of some funerary furniture such as: coffins, false doors and religious tablets. aS-oil was also used in the embalming process and in funerary offerings and was depicted in some tombs and temples. aS-tree was the source of wood that was used in constructing the boats due to its many advantages and its ability to withstand collision with coral reefs as well as buildings, roofing works and the manufacture of the doors of tombs and houses. These aspects will be handled in the current study in details.
