Realll!!! This manhwa is veryy acurate to Egyptian mythology and the plot is just so unique
Don't forget the art as well. Like the character designs are top notch. It's not over the top, it's simple but all of them are striking and beautiful and each with unique features.
Most of the environment are manually drawn as well. You will not see a drop of laziness in every chapters!!!
We have to support Mojito <3
Not really but ok
Why tho?...
Oh boy here we go
-For starter is Nephthys is not peace and harmony goddess. She is the goddess of mourning and protecting death in the mythology. The peace than associated with Isis and harmony is Ma'at because of whole balance thing. Nowhere near the original mythology mention she peace god at all only maintain the peace which tons of god assistant with
-Anubis is already full god during the time period when Set overthrown Osiris. His also few gods that can withstand Set which I will explain later why this a big deal
-Set has several children with different goddesses the note worthy are Wepwawet Wolf God of death and war, Maga the demon crocodile, Taweret hippo headed god of childbirth and protection(sometimes his consort), Serket scorpion goddess of poison and healing(depending what source) and Sobek the crocodile god (also depending what source)
-Ancient Egyptian have polygamy the Pharaoh Ramses II have 200 wives, and there's even a title called "The Geat Wife" which basically they're main wife. Set and Horus in mythology has several wives
Set wives are Nephthys, Anat the Canaanite goddess of War(the one he have Maga with), Astarte the Phoenicians goddess of War, and sometimes Neith the Egyptian goddess of War and Hunting
Horus wives are Serket and Hathor (also sometimes there's seven Hathor)
-Also Ancient Egyptian don't want their memories erase same goes to the god because it's part of their soul. Also big reason why they hate grave robbery. And Egyptian gods reincarnated all the time the strongest example are Ra and Horus
Ra everyday, yes she literally die at night and reborn at sunrise. Also occasionally fight a giant snake god of pure chaos called Apep or Apophis that want to eat her while dead. Which Set and Isis bunch of other Gods fight every time in the sun boat. Also Ra always die at old age
Horus is Pharaoh because every Pharaoh is Horus reincarnated
-Also Nut is not the only God that help Horus. All the gods did, mind you there's 2000 of gods in Egypt which majority of them are god of war, and they didn't help him they literally give him their own strength. Which Set fight Horus for 80 years. Horus didn't defeat him by battles. (Please note this is depending what source) But by Isis by tricking Ra giving her his true name (btw Ra is guy mythology) because Ra bitten by snake made by his saliva that Isis made
-Horus cut off his mother head in breathing contest btw because either she messed it up or was helping Set. Don't worry Thot give her Cow Head and that why she associate with Cow
-Also the Seven giant Scorpion that help baby Horus and Isis that are Serket daughter and why Serket associated with children protection and becoming Horus closes companion. They also have name but I'm to lazy to type them all
Just kidding they're name are Tefen, Masetetef, Petet, Tjetet, Matet, Mesetet, and Befen
-Also the Caravan here a little bit misinformed. Don't get me wrong they do sell slave. But they most likely get them from Africa and they respect woman and children, also the woman Caravan play big role them and it isn't sex work. They are historical record of them buried woman and children with god Bes who known to protect the pure. And those people are most likely get killed by people who wants to hunt Caravan for their goods and they rarely raided village and temple because they mostly not collaborate with them or they're desperate. In fact Caravan are most likely get killed again for their goods. They can even leave Egypt if it's to much because they're main God isn't Set, and the main reason they worship him they're in his domain.
This is some Fun Fact
Set also called "God of Foreign" because one his main worshippers are people called Hyknos who are descendants of Canaanite. Because he resembles the their God Ba'al which also their work for Lord. They barely resembles each other in real life but they're both Stormed God and that where the resembles end. This also why he have two foreign wife god
Anubis has a wife and daughter. His wife Anput is just basically female version of him and his daughter help the dead to find their love one, and cleanse their soul with her jar full of healing water. Also she a snake headed goddess
Also I don't think manhwa was bad. I just think this not a good source for accurate Egyptian mythology
You more luck with "The Kane Chronicles" by Rick Riordan than this manhwa
*which also their word for Lord
God I myself
*I hate myself
WHY I CAN'T DO THINGS RIGHT!!!!
Also spoiler alert
Thot has children in mythology his daughter Seshat. Who he had with Ma'at, is the Goddess of Wisdom and Writing. She also responsible invented the writing system for Egyptian which her father later introduced to human
She also reference here
Probably the only(3) manhwa author who knows what he's doing.
Chapter 212: Tears dropping but not the blood, it remains flowing on his face since its thicker than tears.
Very small detail but this type of details you will NEVER see in other manhwas!!
Obligatory: This remains the best BL Webtoon that came out of Korea. The Art, plot, scripts, ghe historical referencing alone are that impressive. Everything are consistent.
