Ancient Egypt's civilization was one of the oldest and longest ruling empires in history, spanning over 3,000 years.

But sure some 2023 year old virgin who got one shotted by a spear is the end boss. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3k years of hippos and crocodiles. we were still only "cattle of the earth gods". more an intro/cut screen and basic controller tutorial than any sort of boss fight.

i heard 'independent woman' is a synonym for harlot in sanskrit.

you don't know what virgin means.

You need to play better video games. The imagination of our generation bulldozes these limitations.

Imagination is an interesting concept in the framework of platonic idealism. Have you ever listened to the lectures of Dr Michael Heiser?

Speaking of Jason and Theseus, there's an interesting nuance to their myths, in that both demigods are identified by their sandals. Jason attempts to find Truth by circumnavigating the axiom of Truth from Shame to Pride to Wisdom, but falls back into Pride when he eschews Medea (the middle-way) in his pursuit of a princess so that he can become a "real" king.

This folly, ultimately, costs him everything despite wresting the Golden Fleece hanging from Ygdrassil protected by the serpent, and he dies a penniless pauper when the mast of Argo collapses on him killing him in obscurity.

Theseus, on the other hand, in many tellings of his myth, refuses to board the Argo, and instead chooses to take the humble route from shame to wisdom, and despite using the golden thread spun from Jason's golden fleece to escape the labyrinth after besting the minotaur, lacks the knowledge that exists between pride and wisdom, and thus forgets to fly the white sail upon his triumphant return, causing the Father to throw himself from the parapets in grief, thus failing to accomplish his ultimate mission; another failure surmounting in tragedy.

Not coincidentally Chiron (Chi Ro) tutors both Jason and Theseus and Hercules, and Achilles, in all four myths....

Anyhow, then we have this verse in John 1 identifying Jesus by his sandals whom John declares himself unworthy to fasten the strap of....

He is the one coming after me — I’m not good enough even to untie his sandal!”
Yochanan (Jhn) 1:27 CJB

https://bible.com/bible/1275/jhn.1.27.CJB

And instead of attempting to navigate the dao by its circumference humbly remains in the place of shame, despite being in possession of absolute Wisdom, and in the Shame of Wisdom, reveals the Wisdom of Shame, flipping the wheel about it's center, and travelling directly through the Eye of the Needle (Truth) with arm outstretched, reaching back, to pull anyone who follows him through with him.

Unironically, Jason's name is Greek is;
Ieson

And Theseus' name is;

Θeseus

Is you combine them they form the name;

Iesous

Which is pronounced;
"Jesus"

Likewise, the evidence towards John the Baptist suggests he is an Essenian which in Greek is spelled
Iesennoia

If we move the vowels to translate the philology into Hebrew we're left with an amalgamatory term;
S-ennoia which is a combination of Hebrew and Greek;
In Hebrew "S" means "Turns"
In Greek "Ennoia" means thought

So the term means "Turns the Thoughts", which is equatable with the term Repentance.

Luke 3:16 was way cooler when I didn't know it was literally about shoes.

This discussion is far afield from the topic of sex.

I guess the reason I care is how do Christians see 'christ-like' behavior in other people that are here with us on Earth if they can never measure up to Jesus himself.

If other folks sacrifice themselves in some manner or other to benefit people on Earth are there any similarities even if the person didn't claim to be God. Aaron Schwartz was just a dude and never claimed the divinity that Jesus claimed. His sacrifice helped many people though (do I think it is on the same level? no) and many of those he helped don't know about it.

It just seems like there may be some kind of overarching Archtype of a particular kind of person. The whole 'you will be known by your deeds' type.

Also I agree. Reddit sux. Except maybe for researching some autistic and esoteric game mechanics. Even then it's a chore.

And Google is satanic. Butttt what can you do...

[magnetaress]

Also fixating on the word sandals detracts from the rest...who cares what *they* translated footwear into. G-d still guides the body of his word through his creation.

[magnetaress]

ya lol i was going to say egyptions are still a miniscule blip on the times scales
a difference of 977 years is pretty meaningless when humans have been on this earth for millions of years more or less if your an athiest and a 'scientist'

[magnetaress]

also botton confuses egyptions with the refugees of a fallen great civilization who where not even able to imitate their predecessors nor stay true to their heritage (probably because they too where sinners !)
