Things I Have Learned Today

I am reading a PhD thesis in Egyptology about the changes in the representation of Seth in Ancient Egyptian art through time and locality.

Even though my STEM ass is a bit miffed about the lack of quantitative statistics, P Values and levels of significance, I am enjoying it very much as it introduces many interesting concepts and does not pander to te Velde’s homophobia/sex-phobia, but pays attention to different interpretations of the role of Seth.

The take-home message from today is that not even the Amcient Egyptians could consistently draw the Seth-animal, and as a result almost no two of them are alike.

Feeling validated.
