*True story* - back in 2005 when I was taking my finals, the history baccalaureate exam had the task to write about Egyptian civilization. I wrote a huuuge essay and absolutely everything was from this game, I used to play it almost daily back then so I`d remember all the Gods names, cities, everything. I got he highest grade.. Brings a cheeky smile to my face every time I see this game :)
"According to The Contendings of Horus and Seth, Set is depicted as trying to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having sexual intercourse with him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then subsequently throws it in the river so that he may not be said to have been inseminated by Set. Horus (or Isis herself in some versions) then deliberately spreads his own semen on some lettuce, which was Set's favorite food. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim. Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set." Imagine catching the load and then be like "I ain't no homo bro"
No matter how many versions of this story I read I still don't get he caught the semen in his hand if set was trying to cum inside how could it be caught with out him noticing

@Wyeil Arbukle Ancient Egyptians were most similar to modern day near east people (Lebanon/Palestine). Classical Egyptians had a lot of crossover with the Greeks due to there political connections (Greek/Roman conquests). Overall, Egyptians had relatively little influence from or on sub-Saharan Africans because for ancient people it was a lot easier to travel across the Mediterranean than the Sahara. The earliest real transfer of people and culture was with the Islamic trans-Saharan slave trade.
We got the Osiris myth, we got the story of Cain an Able in the Bloodlines review, we got that story about that sadistic concubine lady in the Emperor review. I just hope he continues to do these history/mythology retellings. They're funny as all hell and genuinely educational
It's shame you didn't get to Zeus, which came out in 2000 with marked improvements. One of which was temples, whose priests would occasionally go out and take your sheep for ritual sacrifice. Normally, sheep never despawned and were only occasionally sheared for fleece, but sacrificing one actually deleted sheep one at a time. You wouldn't notice this until all your fully upgraded houses started downgrading because most of the sheep that were once producing fleece were now dead. The downgraded houses forced half your workforce to emigrate, which means you didn't have enough workers to staff your city's services, which in turn lead to more houses downgrading, more emigration, etc. etc. Long story short a utopian city could collapse because sheep didn't respawn.
Really? I usually just pop one or two sheep/goats and those little fuckers bred like rabbit. Unless there is wolves nearby, i never really have any problem with diminishing livestock. Am I misremembering things?
Roman Pompeii Grafitti, 97th year CE (17:17) "We, two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus." So wondrously and surprisingly wholesome.

Did the Impressions city builders commonly get bundled with PCs they'd sell to old people in the early 2000s or something? I discovered Zeus because it was the only game my grandad had on his PC when I went round there as a kid.
So basically, it's no homo as long as you can claim it was all about power dynamics and showing dominance. Truly, the Egyptian gods were ahead of their time over even the modern day.
It's a weird thing that was normalized on many ancient societies. Basically men having sex was accepted as long a you were not the passive receiver. Vikings, Romans and apparently Egyptian had that. In Roman society a noble could bang whatever he wanted (including his male slaves) as long as he was actively "giving" and not passively "receiving". Basically it's all about not being a little bitch and yeah that's still relevant.

I can't believe we got a fucking Seeth review where he sifts through legitimate ancient sources. Just imagine him with a pair of glasses, reading through an original Greek version of Plutarch.
The best/worst part of the myth is that Set and Horus go to god-court and horus makes the semen in set's stomach call out or something, shaming him in front of the other gods.
I know your channel is very "meme-y" but you're a fantastic writer. The way you explained how ancient Egyptians viewed death and how they prepared for it, comparing it to video games and made it funny at the same time was absolutely expert. Great work. I love coming back to all of these videos just for your wonderful writing and great video experience. Keep doing what you do ❤️🙏
The only reason I can't spite you by just listing the equivalent of the chariot for every age is because Tanks were invented at the same time as planes
The best part of the Osiris myth is the end. After their 80 year conflict involving sexual assault, cruel and unusual punishment and the cumsumption of seedy cabbage, Set and Horus more or less shake hands and make up as acquaintances. Horus rules over Egypt and the Nile while Set rules over literally everything else.

@@internetnoob2940 Many lead doctors who are advisors to governments had gotten guidelines from the WHO, world health organization, to count anyone infected with covid as a covid death, doesn't matter if it was caused by covid or not. You had heart disease and took 3 different pills for it? Covid. Car crash? Covid. The molecular test that's also used as a more reliable method has actually insane false positive rates of 87-90%, the guy who designed this test for corona viruses, they are a family of viruses, fabricated his medical degree back in 2002-2003 and many doctors and researchers have decried it. So you got a test that shows more cases than actually exist and statistics that show anyone that's been recorded to have the virus to have died from the virus, whenever that's actually the case or not. For a more anecdotal example, the lead advisor doctor for my goverment has come out and said on national television that anyone infected with the virus and died is considered to have died from the virus, following it up by saying he thinks it's overall good they do that. A friend of mine who is immune-compromised because of medicine he is taking, not chemo-therapy, just pills, was sick with fever for about 3 days, took the quick test and molecular one, quick test showed negative, molecular one showed positive. 3 days long was his fever, 11 more days locked inside his room. Those 11 days he showed no other symptoms, he's still fine even after a month and guess what. The doctor who told him he got corona told him and his family that they don't need to be tested. So how come such a viral disease that's so lethal, didn't kill my immune-compromised friend and his family didn't have to take the tests, as per doctors orders. My answer is simply, he never had it and the doctor knew it.
@@internetnoob2940 Conspiracy that, under the CARES act, which gives medical facilities money for dealing with COVID, that every death is counted as a COVID death. Probably true, given our healthcare system and healthcare administrators being greedy.

The reason the "ghetto" works is because this engine doesn't check for correct levels of population in the area when it passes by a house - it checks the global workforce. You can put down two houses in every industrial sector of your city and you'd be fine.

The actual mechanic is each god needs one temple per 750 inhabitants (325 for the patron god) and the big temple is enough for 7500 inhabitants. If so, you don't need the feasts, ever. Place Grand Statues in your housing districts you'll replace later by temples as your dwellings can house more people. It will simplify your urban planning. For entertainment your number of venues of each type per inhabitant gives you a city wide entertainment bonus (also count in your culture rating). Roaming artists also increase an entertainment bonus to the houses they pass near. The jungler school doesnt decrease desirability around it unlike the other two artist schools so you can safely add it to housing district to raise entertainment score (though they are not great compared to dancers).

The best/worst part of the myth is that Set and Horus go to god-court and horus makes the semen in set's stomach call out or something, shaming him in front of the other gods.
OMG, so you're telling me that the semen spit it out? What an annoying character.
Snitch...
probably just a flowery way of implying it leaked out in front of everyone...
They summoned both of their cooms, and Set's came out of the river (where Horus threw it) while Horus' answered from Set's stomach.

The way you explained how ancient Egyptians viewed death and how they prepared for it, comparing it to video games and made it funny at the same time was absolutely expert. Great work.

The best part of the Osiris myth is the end. After their 80 year conflict involving sexual assault, cruel and unusual punishment and the cumsumption of seedy cabbage, Set and Horus more or less shake hands and make up as acquaintances. Horus rules over Egypt and the Nile while Set rules over literally everything else.

“They’ll fall to the ground...and be recorded as a COVID death” Spicy
@john smith Hence why it is spicy.
@john smith is it okay to ask why ? I'm not from the us , if they're doing it there they'll be doing it everywhere.
@@internetnoob2940 Many lead doctors who are advisors to governments had gotten guidelines from the WHO, world health organization, to count anyone infected with covid as a covid death, doesn't matter if it was caused by covid or not. You had heart disease and took 3 different pills for it? Covid. Car crash? Covid.
The molecular test that's also used as a more reliable method has actually insane false positive rates of 87-90%, the guy who designed this test for corona viruses, they are a family of viruses, fabricated his medical degree back in 2002-2003 and many doctors and researchers have decried it.
So you got a test that shows more cases than actually exist and statistics that show anyone that's been recorded to have the virus to have died from the virus, whenever that's actually the case or not.
For a more anecdotal example, the lead advisor doctor for my goverment has come out and said on national television that anyone infected with the virus and died is considered to have died from the virus, following it up by saying he thinks it's overall good they do that. A friend of mine who is immune-compromised because of medicine he is taking, not chemo-therapy, just pills, was sick with fever for about 3 days, took the quick test and molecular one, quick test showed negative, molecular one showed positive.
3 days long was his fever, 11 more days locked inside his room. Those 11 days he showed no other symptoms, he's still fine even after a month and guess what. The doctor who told him he got corona told him and his family that they don't need to be tested. So how come such a viral disease that's so lethal, didn't kill my immune-compromised friend and his family didn't have to take the tests, as per doctors orders. My answer is simply, he never had it and the doctor knew it.
@@internetnoob2940 Conspiracy that, under the CARES act, which gives medical facilities money for dealing with COVID, that every death is counted as a COVID death. Probably true, given our healthcare system and healthcare administrators being greedy.

The reason the "ghetto" works is because this engine doesn't check for correct levels of population in the area when it passes by a house - it checks the global workforce. You can put down two houses in every industrial sector of your city and you'd be fine.
Its a very weird work around which is fixed in later games - in fact the hiring system is removed and just pulls from the global workforce directly. The Augustus fork of the Julius mod for Caesar 3 has the same functionality.

"All things worth doing are difficult."
This is golden.
The actual mechanic is each god needs one temple per 750 inhabitants (325 for the patron god) and the big temple is enough for 7500 inhabitants. If so, you don't need the feasts, ever. Place Grand Statues in your housing districts you'll replace later by temples as your dwellings can house more people. It will simplify your urban planning.
For entertainment your number of venues of each type per inhabitant gives you a city wide entertainment bonus (also count in your culture rating). Roaming artists also increase an entertainment bonus to the houses they pass near. The jungler school doesnt decrease desirability around it unlike the other two artist schools so you can safely add it to housing district to raise entertainment score (though they are not great compared to dancers).
