I went to bed after 12 o'clock, but who knows tossing and turning, it is difficult to sleep (I don't know Jingjing girl...). Rolling to half past two and finally decided that life should not be wasted on tossing, get up and watch a movie. Randomly found the prince of Egypt that was stored on the hard drive.
Animation, known as the first generation of painting style. The content is basically consistent with the "Exodus", which can be regarded as faithful to the "original" (Old Testament of the Bible^_^). Of course, the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh's brothers has also been added to enhance the dramatic effect. This kind of film should be more in line with the tastes of Westerners or Christians, but for me it is not attractive.
In my opinion, this is the process of how monotheism defeats polytheism and becomes dominant.
Egypt is an out-and-out polytheistic country. There are as many gods as the stars in the sky, and most of them are strange-looking and a combination of humans and animals. Of course, this is the same everywhere in the world, it seems that if the god looks too human, it would insult the god. Look, Jehovah has always been just a ball of light. In contrast, the Greeks are more open-minded, while the Chinese are especially open-minded, directly and easily moving the imperial system to the sky.
The Hebrews also had polytheistic beliefs at that time. Moses was angry and broke the stone slab engraved with the law because he saw the people worshiping golden bull statues. And one of the ten commandments is "You must not believe in any other gods except Jehovah."
Therefore, after this exodus, the Lord established his position as the supreme god. After all, according to the Old Testament, when God brought down the ten major disasters, the Egyptian gods did not let them go, so they were so honest and obedient to let their people be ravaged by opponents. This boss was a failure, so no one will listen to you in the future.
However, this myth is a Christian myth. How flickers are flickers within their own system. It has nothing to do with the Egyptian mythology, so the Egyptians continue to believe in their gods.
It has always been strange that God always wants people to "believe" in him. Such a powerful god actually takes the faith of an ant-like person so seriously, why on earth? It stands to reason that whether a person is dead or alive does not affect God's eating, drinking, and sleeping. Look at the boss of Zeus, eating, drinking and having fun, nothing to do with mortal beauties, and he has never seen him press ordinary people's heads and say: You have to believe me, if you don't believe me, I will beat you.
Is it true that the belief of mortals can increase the mighty power of gods, and the goal of the Supreme God is to break through the limits of the gods and enter a higher level? According to this statement, mortals are pigs and dogs raised by gods and are used to feed their stomachs. It is estimated that Christians will not like this explanation.
Another strange thing is that the Bible says that people are all heirs of Adam, and Adam was created by God, so Egyptians should also be children of God. But when God warned Moses, he only said: I am the god of your people...
It seems that gods are all cliques. Whoever has more people will be more powerful.
