I always remember the silly little meme about Thoth and how he was also still somewhat revered in Ancient Greece as a god of wisdom.
Where they would write his name Θώθ
Which makes it very believeable some Greek scientist somewhere actually said "Θώθ, what's this?"
Yeah, but did you know there are vessels like this one in tombs? Just that those don't contain water exactly ^^''
It is a super cute detail, tho. I loved the piece :3
They're canopic jars, where they'd stick the organs of a dead person during mummification. Obviously, the canopic jar in this comic is meant to be a drink container rather than a canopic jar, but Anubis is a jackal, a carnivore. It could legitimately be both things.
I just saw a documentary on hierogliphs. Your plurals appear everywhere (the 3 vertical lines). And a lot on "n" (wavy lines) Is this copied from somewhere or just jibberish?
Egypt was a protectorate of the UK between WWI and its independence in 1922 after many decades of increasing British influence in the country. Of course, Anubis would know how to read and write English.
