Abstract
This research proposes to explain the Djed-pillar, one of the ancient Egyptian symbols, particularly during the New Kingdom.

The difficulty of the research stems from that the Djed-pillar originated from the Predynastic Egypt, which initiated a wide variety of theories and opinions about the name, form, function…etc, and the association of the Djed with different gods and aspects.
The researcher aimed to explain the following points:
● Throwing light on the Djed-pillar, generally, during the Egyptian history, particularly during the New kingdom.
● The different interpretation of the Djed as symbol, name and a sign.
● The different forms of the Djed in relation to gods, mythology, and aspects of life and death in Ancient Egypt.
● Throwing light on some of the religious texts associated with the Djed-pillar.
● An archeological survey of the scenes of the Djed-pillar on the New Kingdom Temples and tombs.
● finally, the ceremony of ”raising the Djed-pillar” as part of the study of the Djed-pillar.
