The gods of Thebes are based on the nine pillar gods (other tribes also have similar nine pillar gods), that is, the nine core gods, and the gods with their family as the core are also the family with the most complete story system in ancient Egyptian mythology. , They are:
Ra (Ra): the sun god, the source of all gods, and later merged with other sun gods (mainly Amon) to become the master god of the world-Amon Ra (probably from the background of the unity of Egypt) )
Shu (Shu): Aeolus, son of Elah, the ancient Egyptians believed the sun brings wind
tefnut (Tefnut): the god of rain, pulling her daughter, but also Shu's wife (consanguineous marriage)
drape (Geb) : The god of the earth, the son of Shu and Tefnut, the grandson of Ra's
Nut (Nut): The god, the daughter of Shu and Tefnut, the granddaughter of Ra, and also the wife of Geb (and married with close relatives)
Osiris (Osiris): Hades and Saturn, son of
Geb and Nut Seth (Seth): God of deserts and storms, Son of
Geb and Nut ISIS: God of fertility and refuge, Geb and Nu Daughter of Osiris, wife of Osiris (continued to marry with relatives)
Nephthys: God of fertility and refuge, daughter of Geb and Nut, wife of
Set (continued to marry with relatives), then Osiris and Ace The son of Si is Horus (Horus, the god of the sky), and the sons of Set and Nefertis are Anubis (Anubis, the guide of the undead), and there are many others associated with this family or serving The deity of the family.
The battle of God basically tells the most important legend about Horus obtaining the right of inheritance, that is, he defeated Sete to ascend the throne and inherited the kingdom of the living on the east bank of the Nile. Of course, he also made a lot of modifications and artistic treatments. :
1. The four gods Shu, Tefnut, Geb, and Nut are omitted, and Osiris and Set will be directly the sons of Ra, without introducing the blood relationship between the two daughters. This will make the plot simple. It is also more in line with modern people’s understanding.
2. The legendary dark snake Apophis will attack the sun god Ra every night (a setting very similar to the movie), but Sete kills Apophis. The movie reverses this plot. Turned
3. In myths and legends, Anubis may be Nefertis who betrayed Seth and gave birth to Osiris after being drunk. Therefore, he was not recognized by Seth (also a very complicated plot). The harsh test of Seth directly assumes that Seth cannot have children, so it does not indicate whether Anubis and Seth are related by blood.
4. In the myth, Osiris was not killed during the designated heir, but was lured by Set into the golden coffin and then sealed and poured boiling water to die (this method of death is estimated to be miserable). Isis found the corpse and tried to resurrect, but He was cut into 14 pieces by Seth and thrown around Egypt to prevent his resurrection, but Isis only retrieved 13 pieces. The one who was not found was Tintin (to foretell whether the king would be in danger), and it was modified to remain in the movie. It is a tribute to the original legend to give the heart to give Seth the qualification to inherit.
5. Since Isis did not find the 14th torso (which was eaten by fish...), Osiris could only be resurrected for one night, but that night Isis gave birth to Horus (you can't go into details), of course. In order to rationalize the movie, the overall logic is changed to the logic of Prince's Revenge. Horus was already an adult when Osiris died.
6. After Osiris died, he became Pluto. He was responsible for enforcing the right of eternal life after death. In the movie, there are two vague close-ups of the judge, but multiple judges become a trial seat similar to the presbytery.
7. Thoth, the god of wisdom, is the god of the moon. The fresco image is a baboon holding the moon. The legend teaches Horus how to get revenge. Thoth is considered to be a god born during the fusion of pagan religions, and it is also reflected in the film through skin color and dress.
8. The story of Horus' seizure of power is believed to have a lot to do with the legal inheritance of the pharaoh. Therefore, the king's murals of Thebes all reflect the king's authority to obtain the kingship from Horus, which is the agent of the protagonist at the end of the movie. The country is a story
9. In the movie, Dorset’s car is made up of flying golden beetles. The ancient Egyptians believed that the golden beetle's rolling dung ball was sacred and was the messenger of the sun god. The movie is very good in this way. Embodiment
10. Hathor, which is different in different myths and legends, is widely believed to be the wife of Horus, the goddess of love, wealth and luck, and is widely worshipped in Egypt and can be transformed As a bull-headed human body, the mural appears as the sun above the head, which is quite different from the setting in the movie, but the identity remains the same.
11. Finally, the protagonist is named Baker, who was not finished at the time. Someone added in the comments later. It seems that this It is a story about mortals saving the earth, but in fact the name Baker comes from Egypt’s most famous second-rate god, the crocodile god Sobek. In the Book of the Dead, it protects the newborn Horus and helps Isis and Nefertis. Destroy Seth. I understand it is the prototype of this movie script.
