Thank you, AmberJewel for the suggestion!

The study of Egyptian Mythology is the study of the origins of humanity. Scholars estimate the first Egyptian myths came to be somewhere around 3100–2686 B.C, around the same time as the origins of human civilization itself. These myths help historians and anthropologists understand the Egyptians as a people, as through the analysis of the gods and their stories, they shed light on their principles and values. Perhaps the most fascinating part to me about Egyptian Mythology, is that while it existed and was worshipped for over 3,000 years, it remained relatively unchanged throughout that time. One would expect stories being told over multiple millennia to eventually be indistinguishable at the end from what it was in the beginning, but it truly is a testament to the deeply traditional values of the Egyptian people that, while changes were made in the mythos, they weren't as drastic as one would expect. Which makes it even more hilarious when you learn about stories such as Akhenaten's attempt to convert Egypt into a monotheistic civilization through the sole worship of Aten, completely throwing thousands of years of tradition out the window. I hope you enjoy this deep dive and gross simplification of Egyptian Mythology!
