Ya know what happened to Apep(the deity)?
He got his fucking ass kicked by Ra. Hell, if I remember right, he also gets his ass kicked by Horus at least once.
Basically, don’t fuck with the sun. It’s got hands. And a beak.

I’m fairly certain you’re right, I just can’t remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.
Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.

there’s probably a version of the myth for each. you know how the Greeks kinda had an established canon for their mythology? Egyptians did not lmao, there are very few (if any at all tbf) constants in their religion and the 3000 years of an Empire has produces many different versions of the state standard, and that’s to not even mention the stuff nobody wrote down.
bonus fun fact! in some versions of the infamous cum salad myth Thoth creates a solar disk made out of Horus’s cum that gets summoned from Set’s body at the trial. next time you look at Thoth know that his hat is made of cum
there is also a goddess who is a brick, she has a human face and the rest is a brick :)

the Romans knew the sun as Sol Invictus, or “The Unconquerable Sun”. Ever hear the story about the man who conquered the sun?
Me either

Meh, imo compared to most of Star Trek or Babylon 5 it was kinda mid (even Star Wars - The Clone War was better). Just basically American mil-prop but in space.
Let me remind you of the original premise: A
conspiracy theorist nutjobeccentric professor (thinks aliens build the pyramids, but is somehow still allowed to lecture at an university) is hired by the military to help them explore an unknown world where they have to saveuncivilised savageshelpless slaves (using, you’ve guessed it: guns) from anevil dictatorall powerfull god (who still needs slaves tho).The more I think about it, it’s not even mid, it’s crap. It has no wonder for what’s beyond the stars, just a constant psychotic fear of anything that could even remotely be considered a danger to
AmericaEarth. And the only solution to it is shoot at it.TurtleTourParty@midwest.social 2 weeks ago

they named an asteroid after apophis, because the astronomers were fans of the show, and yes its also egyptian mythos irl.

That looks kinda like the guy who played Ragnar in “Vikings.”
(cautiously checks for weird features like too many fingers, armor features that make nonsense, or other visual anomalies before cautiously asking…)
What’s this from?
It looks pretty rad.

I think this is from Raised by Wolves, which is a wacky ass scifi thing.

Much appreciated! Have always loved wacky ass sci-fi things! :D

Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.

I’m still upset that this was canceled.
titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
What is this show?
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.
The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .
It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple on androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.
Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:
Tap for spoiler
androids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into trees
I don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild.

I liked the first 80% of the first season, and stopped watching halfway into S02E01. Is it worth continuing? Do we get any answers? Are they satisfying?
Soku@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Could anyone please name the show? Ppl in the know keep referring to it as the show but could the oblivious ones get into the inner circle as well, please?
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
No. The show is cancelled before they wrap up anything.
Personally, I’d still watch it anyway because the show is so goddamn weird you can’t find anything like it anywhere else.
For anyone reading who hasn’t seen it, I would describe it as the most metal (🤘) show I’ve ever seen.

I thought these were Whitecloaks from WoT at first and then my dumbass was like “no, Whitecloaks have golden sunbursts on the chest of their uniforms, not red. Wait, what about The Hand Of the Light? No, that’s crimson shepherd’s crooks, not sunbursts”
That continued for a while before I noticed their fucking guns
