Ancient Egyptian automaton, Altar with Isis and Osiris, published 1888
Ancient Egyptian automaton as an altar with Isis and Osiris. The earliest documented examples of truea automata come from Ancient Egypt - about 2500 BC. Priests had statues made in which they could hide and manipulate certain parts to make the people believe that the statues were alive so as to increase their religious devotion. Through the heat produced by the fire at the base of the altar the greater pressure of the air, the statues of Isis and Osiris pour milk on a platform and the snakes coiled hiss. Wood engraving after an ancient original, published in 1888
