For those of you for whom the embedded video does not load, usually mobile users, click here to go directly to YouTube."Egyptian Mythology" comes out on top both as an overview of key aspects of that polytheistic ontology and as a parody of a music track that deserves to be mercilessly ridiculed, "Despasito (Remix)" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, ft. Justin Bieber. Regarding the first objective, our current cultural context renders a clarification more important than it ought to be. New age spiritualists nowadays overwhelmingly assert that ancient Egyptian mythology plays the role of first religion, that is, of first source or foundation, to present day religions worldwide. This is false. All contemporary theisms and deisms are rooted in a single occult ontology, and that system is the Zodiac, the birthplace of which is Mesopotamia. Newspapers everywhere waste a page on a daily basis to con people with coy fortunetelling that nonetheless ends up having some effect by conditioning people into certain directions by virtue of repetition and co-occurrence alone. The endless conditioning is the reason why leaders around the world still seek out "occult" sources of knowledge as these may provide means to move people without the people being moved knowing why they do whatever it is that they end up doing.
Mr. Nicky had already done a video back in 2016 called "Ancient Egypt" (embedded below), a The title of the video follows the naming script that Mr. Nicky has chosen from the very beginning, I had not previously shared it because it is not historically on par with his other videos. Like his other videos, it narrows down what would otherwise be potentially endless sets of history lessons concerning the main aspects of a civilization by focusing on one or two of its central - or representative - figures. However, in the particular case of the video embedded below, the figure chosen is of little overall importance to the history of the society that is the subject matter. Thus, I share it with you all now only because he mostly overcame this shortcoming by making the second video "Egyptian Mythology". Still pretty funny though...
For whom the video does not load embedded just click here to go directly to YouTube."Ancient Egypt" is set to the tune of "Moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5, making a depiction of something that no longer moves all the more hilarious. Enjoy!
