>Let’s take a brief exam. of just one Egyptian myth…The Contending of Horus & Seth, which is told by a c. 1160 B.C. (20th Dynasty) hieratic text (but also found on pyramid texts up to when the Greeks took over). The myth has weird disgusting sex thru out. The story is that Horus (son of Osiris) & Seth (son of Nut) are contending for the deceased Osiris’s throne of Egypt. Sun God Pre (Re) backs Seth, while Horus’s mother Isis backs Horus. After Osiris has been murdered by Seth, Isis aggressively sexually mounts the dead Osiris to conceive an heir, & somehow revives his dead phallus. Baba (the baboon god) insults Pre which causes him to become impotent & to quit his duty as a leader of the Ennead council. To restore Pre’s morale, his mother Hathor (the goddess of motherhood, w/ cowlike physical looks) lifts her skirt & puts her crouch in his face, which makes him laugh & restores him. This is not out of character, as she not only represents fertility but wild drunkenness, etc. Seth tries to seduce Isis, but she casts magic spells on him. In turn he makes himself into a bull to chase her, & she then turns into a dog w/ a knife on its tail. Horus ends up castrating Seth, & taking his mother as his wife. While this is not the entire story, you get the idea of how the storyline is not fit for anyone not to mention our young students. There is a reason why Egyptian “mythology” was replaced by monotheistic religions w/ standards of morality.
