Garden of Thought E.321 Back to the Nile
from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman
Folks, I rarely suggest you need to listen to a prior episode, but if you're not pretty familiar with Egyptian mythology, you should seek out the prior episode or two where our guest appeared. Who's the guest? The magician, Mogg Morgan of the Mandrake. It's been a while since we visited Egypt on the show. I've learned so much since then. I've forgotten more. And I've come up with more half baked theories.But I did have some specific questions for Morgan. I may have even gotten some of those. Among them is why are Ammon and Ra one or two entities? Was Imhotep a person, people or god? Where does Thoth fit in? Did Egyptians acknowledge and "conquer" and/or assimilate gods of other civilizations? Why animal heads? Who were the Kushites and Nubians? We talk psycho pomps. We talk Hathor. I might have gotten further away from understanding the journey of the dead, or not quite dead. Just how many administrative gods can a pantheon have? Turns out a lot. And next time we have Mogg, we get into the age of demigods and the Egyptian Nephilim. Maybe.
