this thread is about calling out people and dealing with them, and also the discussion of egyptian gods

i am quite partial to ammon-ra

ra is the egyptian sun god

this is a statue of ra

at one point ra was combined with the god amun to become amun-ra (can also be spelled ammon-ra)

this is his sanctuary

if you like ptah or chem don't even bother they're the worst

Egyptian gods look great

Bastet and Anubis

Horus

Bastet is a gentle, protective goddess, representing the warm, life-giving power of the sun.
Anubis is a funerary deity, the patron of embalming.
Horus, son of Isis, is the patron of the living Pharaoh.

And Immortal (Ad Vitam) is a movie inspired from the works of Enki Bilal, a French comic book artist of Czech/Bosnian origin.

I rather like Thot : Master of all arts and sciences, perfect in all crafts, Ruler of the Three Worlds, Scribe of the Gods, and Keeper of the Books of Life, Thoth Hermes Trismegistus - the Three Times, the "First Intelligencer" - was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the embodiment of the Universal Mind.
According to the Cthulhu myth established by american horror/fantasy/science-fiction novelist HP Lovecraft, Thot might actually be Nyarlathotep, aka the Dark Man, aka the Faceless One, aka Crawling Chaos.

Isis, the God-Mother, is also known as a magician, and might be an archetype for the high priestess of the tarot.

Egyptian Gods have been claimed by the furries.
I do not want to be branded a furry so I will have no further part in this thread!

I like Bastet, Horus and Thot.

Anubis also owns in [google]American Gods[/google]

And Ra also owns.

But I can't remember ptha and chem, are they that bad??

Chem

In Egyptian mythology, Chem (also Khem, Skeet) is the deity alternatively known as Min, was the god of increase, considered the father of the Egyptian race. He is usually pictured wearing a women's garment.

Chem is often equated with the biblical figure Ham, the son of Noah and progenitor of Mizraim (the Hebrew term for Egypt).

Others hold that the name Chem was based on a faulty reading of the hieroglyphic text by 19th century Egyptologists, and that Min is the sole true name for him.

Ptah

In Egyptian mythology, Ptah ("creator") (or Tanen or Ta-tenen or Tathenen or Peteh) is a creator god and patron deity of Memphis, Egypt, as well as craftsmen.

Unlike Seker, another crafts god, Ptah was associated with stone-based crafts. Apis was his oracle. Later, he was combined with Seker and Osiris to create Ptah-Seker-Osiris. As Tanen, Ptah was known as a chthonic deity.

He is married to Sekhmet or (more rarely) Bastet. His children included Nefertem, Mihos, and Imhotep . In some myths, he created Ra as well.

In art, he is portrayed as a mummified man with his hands holding a sceptre adorned with an ankh, was and djed (symbols of life, power and stability, respectively). Often he wore a skullcap.

In the Memphite mythology, he is considered to be the head of creators and the sole creator of the entire world and everything within. He is not created but simply is. He is also sometimes considered to be a personification of the primal matter, [Ta-tenen].

The important role Ptah has played in history can really be undestood as we learn that "Egypt" is a Greek corruption of the phrase "Het-Ka-Ptah", or "House of the Spritit of Ptah".

The Book of Ptah is also the name of a novel written by SF author Van Vogt, dealing with the concepts of gods and religions, and introducing the idea gods get their power from worship (pretty much like in the Populous video game)

I've often been told that Ptah's wife Sekhmet is some kind of WaBastet

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Wed May 25, 2005 3:14 pm

WaBastet would own

So Chem is a cross-dresser and Ptha is a kind of übergod, right?

Read American Gods please

Or Terry Pratchett's Small Gods

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu May 26, 2005 2:17 pm

Or both

Anyway, back on topic, kinda...

Greek Gods > Egyptian Gods?

Not so sure about that...

Depends which criteria you select before comparing them I guess?

Personally I think I prefer Scandinavian Gods anyway

ruroken · Post by **ruroken** » Thu May 26, 2005 2:24 pm

I'm halfway through American Gods by Mr Gaiman and I must say it's fucking superb.

:check

Greek gods are champions when it comes to interacting with mortals, I guess (be it for starting wars, or love affairs)
Egyptian gods look more dignified and mysterious.
Norse gods might be the most ambiguous of the lot, morally-wise, and they're also cooler coz they all die at the end

I've always been more partial to Greek gods myself.

Me too. Greek gods are naughty and cause mischeif

I've just been recently watching Ulysses 31

I forgot how good this is!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Fri May 27, 2005 12:49 am

if it weren't for greek gods we wouldn't have the marvelous game god of war! ...we'd have to have settled for some equally good action game with a different setting, I suppose.

man of txt · Post by **man of txt** » Fri May 27, 2005 1:00 am

true

Plus all of the amazing films, stories, myths and legends

Plus hercules did give us xena warrior princess so I guess that's another thing to thank the gods for

That blue skin looks familiar... ... but I'm sure I haven't seen that show.
Wasn't there such in Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors? Or something? Damn I want to see that show again.

Jason and the wheel warriors came after this. Same kinda thing though. A futuristic cartoon based on greek mythology!

).

Made by the same studio?
