Castlevania Nocturne : Real Ancient Egypt EXPOSED!
YouTube video by Andri Jansson Castlevania Nocturne : Real Ancient Egypt EXPOSED!

I love #Castlevania game series since early childhood. Recently it got its own animated show & the latest season takes us to Ancient Egypt - another thing i love passionately.

I couldnt resist making a video about all the real monuments used on the show

Moreover the guy with a stick who often gets omitted from the scene (the boss) shouts obscenities at his aides for apparently being too slow - โ€œHEY Sะ*T!!! MAKE THE CATTLE MOVE!โ€

If you look at the full scene and read the inscriptions you will see that the calf is used as a bait/lure to guide the cows through a marsh.

Most of the time the interpretation online is that the calf is being saved from drowning and a greatful mother cow and stuff like that - NO.
Thats not whats happening.

The sob/throb interpretation of this #AncientEgypt scene is getting old and kind of annoying ๐Ÿ™‚

Hereโ€™s the famous scene from the Mastaba of Ty (5th Dynasty, #Saqqara) where a man carries a calf on his back and the calfโ€™s mother gazes at the calf.

I always wanted to see how the statue of #Menkaure would look with paint restored. (There are still traces of original paint on his face). But alas, i couldnโ€™t find any reconstructions so i finally made one myself.

Lets debunk a little popular lie. #Tutankhamun was indeed mummified with erect penis,however the one in the picture circulating on the web belongs not to the King, but to an 18th century Englishmen executed by hanging.Housed at Viktor Wynd museum in London.Second image is Tutโ€™s.

This claim is basically total ignorant trash. Egyptian #hieroglyphs are a complex writing system, combining phonetic and symbolic functions to write an actual spoken language. Whereas emojis are primarily meant to fill in emotional cues otherwise missing from typed conversation.

Unlike what media might make you believe,#Anubis is not a dog or a jackal.He is a god often depicted with a canine head to emphasize his association with cemeteries and the funerary cult.But sometimes heโ€™s depicted as a full human, like here(his name is written right next to him)
