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

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

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.Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 hours ago
they named an asteroid after apophis, because the astronomers were fans of the show, and yes its also egyptian mythos irl.

What is this show?

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?
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 hour 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.

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.

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.
