Ouroboros, From Egypt To...

Ouroboros, from the Greek for tail-eating, a snake eating its own tail, is a symbol of the unity of all things, of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, and of the infinity of time flowing back into itself. The earliest example is from the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt, 14th century BCE. See snake head eating tail at top,
