Fun fact: the Egyptian god Thoth is Θώθ in Greek.

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 78 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Egyptians were bronze age furries

This is well known

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That certainly explains a lot of their animal gods

Most people were furries in ancient times tbf. Mythology has patterns.

[–] Klear@piefed.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

So do most furries.

Hel don't even need to get real ancient for that shit. The Bear warriors, Wolf warriors, and presumably Boar warriors were a thing up until old Norse paganism was driven into being secretive.

The boar warriors are weird and we aren't even sure if they existed into the Viking age, while Bear warriors and Wolf warriors are written about the Boar warriors are obscure at best. Most of their documentation is from Roman reliefs which depict all three of the warrior cults. Though they may have just been hyper obscure preferring to stick to the most wild of lands and avoid civilization when possible.

Is it really an omega? I always pronounced it as an omicron. Weird...

No really, Thoath just doesn't sound right. I always pronounced it Thawth.

Also, "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. GOODNIGHT!"

[–] olenkoVD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Modern Greek, the omicron and the omega are pronounced the same, so it doesn't really matter ig (if we're talking about Modern Greek that is)

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

We're talking about the Greek transliteration of Thoth, so I'm pretty sure we're not talking about Modern Greek

[–] M137@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's extra funny that Thoth is so similar to thot too.
