"Pohon Sycamore dianggap suci di Mesir kuno dan merupakan pohon pertama yang diwakili dalam seni kuno. Sycamore juga sakral. Petani berkumpul di sekitar mereka dalam ritual. Di Tanah Orang Mati ada sycamore di cabang-cabangnya dewi Hathor tinggal; dia mencondongkan tubuh untuk memberi rezeki dan air kepada jiwa-jiwa yang telah meninggal. Di Memphis, julukan Hathor adalah Lady of the Sycamore."

Sycamore trees were held to be sacred in ancient Egypt and are the first trees represented in ancient art. The sycamore, also, was sacred. Peasants gather around them in rituals. In the Land of the Dead there was a sycamore in whose branches the goddess Hathor lived; she leaned out of it giving sustenance and water to deceased souls. In Memphis, Hathor's epithet was Lady of the Sycamore.
