...........Okay, I swear, the more I find out about Egyptian Mythology, the more inclined I feel to dunk my head on bleach. Egyptian Mythology, and even it's culture, was seriously fucked up. For example:

-Atum creating Shu and Tefnut by either spitting, masturbating with his hands, or masturbating with his mouth and then spitting. Jesus Christ, that's not a lovely image.

-In some versions of the myth, Atum/Ra/Atum-Ra created the world by masturbating. That's not the squicky part. That is what follows: An egyptian spring festival called Shemu, where there was a ceremony where the Pharaoh publicly jacked off into the Nile, to assure fertility in that growing season.

Also, a bit of trivia: Turns out, the most commonly known-and-used names of the Egyptian gods, such as Anubis, Thoth, Horus......they aren't even close to their Egyptian names for the most part, they are their Greek names.

That's mostly because their egyptian names would be hard to spell, or pronounce, in english, though some approximation can be done. For example:

-Anubis: "Inpw", leading to Anpu, possibly also vocalized as Anapa in Egyptian.

-Thoth: "Dhwty", which, for the sake of convenience among non-egyptologists, would be Dhejuti, Jehuti, or Dheuti.
