Loki was...possibly...worse. Others say "sleep with some whores," Loki sleeps with a horse.

To be fair it was for very good, money saving reasons.

[wierd]

Also, he didnt want Odin to kill him, and all that.

Bonus points: Loki was on the bottom, and got knockered up.

There were several different egyptian cosmologies, though. I don't see the Ogdoad anywhere in that graphic for instance

Well, aren't we talking like three thousand years? Back then they also didin't have really good ways of conserving knowledge and the distances were relatively long, so it's pretty safe to assume that their religion changed and evolved through the years. AFAIK there was also this time when they literally wanted to wipe out some god and other mythology changing shenanigans that they did on purpose.

You mean the Amarnan heresy?

[Kot]

That's proably what I meant, though that's more of erasing almost your whole pantheon.

[Arx]

Probably thinking of the Aten incident. If I've got the timeline right, one particular pharaoh switched everything to the worship of Aten, the sun itself, but after his death the priesthood and fellows erased pretty much all evidence of it happening. Chiseled out the name Atwn wherever they dound it, and so on.

Now see, this is why the Egyptians died. They didn't PRAISE THE SUN

What about Ra, though? He was also the Sun. Jaffa, kree!

No, see, subtle but critical difference. Ra was the sun god. Aten was the sun itself.

The Zunists got it right.

[Frumple]

No ideology with a noun starting with Z or a Z equivalent got it right.

...

Though thinking on it somewhat, that may be a startlingly accurate statement. Z* movements seem to either do somewhat poorly or catch a pretty bad rep...

[TD1]

Zionists...check.

[Harry Baldman]

Zen? Zoroastrianism? Both of those had pretty good runs, as did Zionism.
