        ancient egyptian goddess Meskhenet depicted as a birthing brick. they put a woman's head on top of a brick and called it a day

        ancient egyptians made wonders beyond our modern facsimile of imagination, our minds bow before their creativity… i can’t tell you if the amongod is real but since i’ve seen the brick goddess (goddess who is a brick) i’ll believe anything

    Side tangent: One of my favorite things about the plane Amonkhet in Magic the Gathering (a setting heavily inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology) is that the “sun” god is a giant humanoid with a cat head named Oketra, and I always read it in my head as “Oh, Cat Ra.”

    Pic for context.

    My favorite is Khepri, which is just a guy with a massive scarab stuck to his face.

      Egyptian: “what part of the scarab is the head?”

      Other Egyptian: “Not sure, just put the whole thing where a human head would be.”
