These are the main ones that I can remember off the top of my head :)

---

~ There are around 175 kings known today, with The Great Pyramid of Giza being attributed to Khufu. The rough time span of these kings are 3400 years, with it being split into three parts; The Old Kingdom, The Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. (I’d have to check my notes for the exact dates for these).

---

~ In between the time periods of these kingdoms, existed a Predynastic and Protodynastic period. This is essentially when times were rather volatile and were the intermediate periods before everything stabilised and kicked off again, so to speak.

---

~ The Egyptians kept records of their history and often amended it/updating rulers of the past. The most well known documents are the Palermo Stone and the Abydos King List. It was later recorded in Greek, when that become the dominant written and spoken language, but this is relatively recent in terms of their own history.

---

~ One of my favourite facts of their chronology: an Egyptian priest (his name escapes me atm) in the early 300BCs included time periods where there were existing rulers before the Pharaohs, consisting of The Gods, Demigods and the Spirits of the Dead. After their time of ruling, then humans followed (though I guess Pharaohs were seen more as a stepping stone between a regular mortal and a demigod, in a way).

---

I could keep going, but I’d have to reread my notebook for the more in-depth facts on their chronology within each of the Kingdoms, the rulers, etc.
Tbf, my favourite part was going over their mythology which I knew some of, and how that related back into and influenced society at that time! (Through their art, talisman and amulets, beliefs, burial practices, etc) :)

Yes.
Auryn is a powerful medallion belonging to the Childlike Empress, which protects its wearer from all harm. Whoever wears AURYN becomes the representative of the Childlike Empress. Auryn appears on the cover of the in-universe book Neverending Story.

The symbol of two intertwined snakes appeared early in Babylonia and is related to other serpent symbols of fertility, wisdom, and healing, and of sun gods. This staff of Hermes was carried by Greek heralds and ambassadors and became a Roman symbol for truce, neutrality, and noncombatant status.

---

What do the snakes symbolize?
Historically, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing. The ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and continual renewal of life.

There’s a range of pollutants that can contribute to hair loss, including air and waterborne toxins. If you live in a highly polluted environment, you may develop sensitive scalp syndrome, whose symptoms include an oily scalp, itching, pain in the hair roots, and dandruff....You can reduce exposure by covering your hair while in such environments. Another solution is washing the hair to remove any toxins.
Luckily these environmental factors rarely cause permanent hair loss. You’ll notice positive results a few months after implementing some changes.

A "devil" didn't exist in Abrahamic religion until the middle ages. It's little more than fanfiction inspired by popular fiction authors Like Dante Alighieri, John Milton, and some letters by monks which circulated around 900 years after the Bible was written. In Jewish myth there is no antagonist. The Satan is an appointed angel sent by Yahweh to test the faith of believers. Not evil. Just an angel doing his job

The new testament btw has no first person accounts. The books of the new testament were written between 75 to 400 AD. None of the original apostles except maybe Paul, a Roman citizen, could read or write. As 99% of the world's population was illiterate. Though numbers were higher in Rome. Though modern day Palestine and Israel were not direct Roman territory they were protectorates that Rome propped up for it's middle Eastern conquests.

If you get a New Interlinear Bible you can easily see the Hebrew to English for old testament, the Greek to English for New testament. You can see in context translations by native speakers from the original text. Something not done well in previous versions as the Greek and Latin Scholars who translated the mess of letters that would become Abrahamic doctrine probably never met a native speaker. They'd be a state scholars who learned from other state scholars

Ps if you made it this far God isn't real either

In my view, it's a thought-provoking myth and the belief that God (or "Zeus") created androgynous *souls* was shared by some Theosophists. Modern interpretations of this notion seem to be primarily focused on one aspect but other facets (reincarnation, karma, etc.) must be considered. We could also evaluate the disagreement between Zeus and Apollo and what it tells us about the nature of "gods" with respect to humans, our attributes, limitations and dilemmas. As is the case with all myths, there is more beneath the surface but it's often ignored or dismissed entirely because few are willing (or able?) to consider anything which may challenge their current inclinations. Prometheus may have stolen the fire it doesn't burn in everyone and the reaction of Zeus was less than favorable on that occasion too... ;-)

Hmmm... I understand why you're doubting the written history; however, you need to understand na being a historian back then and even now requires so much effort to acquire precise information about the events that had happened. Hindi lang sa tabi tabi nila nakukuha ang information. Oo, may mga kumakalat na na mga chismis noon, pero nag iinvestigate sila by digging deeper and by authenticating those "chismis" kung tawagin man noon. May iba naman na historians ngayon na tumitingin sa original news articles under certain era kung anong panahon man sila nag iimbestiga. It's all in the records (newspapers, books, articles, video tapes, journals, etc.). It's nearly impossible naman na hindi makalap ang other side of the coin when there are records to show, 'di ba? Kaya nga may debate pa rin ngayon about sa Marcos Sr. regime if maunlad ba talaga or madugo dahil sa "chismis" na 'yan. You'll know the answer once you start looking for the authentic ones (data). Also, while I'm answering your shout out, may hate ka nang natatanggap (based on new shout outs dito sa akin), which I think is kind of... wrong. Hindi kita kinakampihan pero hindi rin maganda na gano'n ang mga shout outs sa 'yo. I admire your bravery kasi hindi naka activate ang anon dito sa shout out mo, ang tapang ah. Hahaha. Pero, ayon nga, try to think about what we've said (iyong iba na nag disagree din dito sa opinion mo). Opinions are meant to be discussed naman. Hehehe.

@DontcallmeSans @Gorogorogorochan *Reaper can shape-shift too maybe not as much as a literal Shadow can or someone made of goop like Gaster and Nightmare but he can also give people a scare like Shadow can by hiding himself in darkness since he's made of darkness too xD- if Shadow were in Undertale I am pretty sure he'd be turned into Reaper cause they're so much alike, Reaper isn't even really a skeleton, he's the literal Greek God Thanatos who took on a skeletal appearance to blend in with the Underverse, all of the RT Gods are the Greek Gods who took on different names and appearances which is why they don't act exactly like the regular UT cast, RT Undyne is much more serious than normal Undyne and hardly jokes around, you just have to guess based on clues Renrink gave to which God is which and the same goes to finding out their birthdays and everything else, their AU is shrouded in mystery with hints sprinkled throughout numerous posts by their creator, Renrink, so a lot of info about their AU is mixed, you ask 3 different people about ReaperTale and I guarantee you'll get 3 different answers that don't match up with the others, their AU is covered in mystery, guess it fits with the dark and mysterious type of character Reaper is*

So...when I listening to music I must have strong theme affililations. I must feel the way, and the atmosphere.
That's why most of artist and composers that I know and like are actually composers of film music.

---

You asked for composers, sooo...
I can really recommend you those three taht I think It's good to know and listen some of their tracks.

---

For the first great Greek composer MIKIS THEODORAKIS.
Do you know the Zorba? This guy composed Zorba music.
But I think the pearl, hidden treasure is LITANY I (LITANY II is also good, but first is a masterpiece).
Litany was composed in cooperation with Vasilis Saleas, and this co-op is awesome!

---

Get the link here. Without knowing of this track - Weeping eyes there's no entrance to Heaven. Remeber about it!

Next...Gustavo Santaolalla. I'm addicted to his Ushuaia a la quiaca. Those theme comes from Diarios de motocicleta, Argentinian movie about journey.

---

Very clear, and transcendent kind of music.
I can recommend you more of Gustavo Santaolalla.

For the last...I'm not sure if it's true but IMO but Ludwig Göransson now is the best known from those three, and kind of top artist in this topic. He composed music for The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.
(had also episode with Marvel tbh)
Mandalorian theme is absolutely insane, listen to it can give you enlightment....so help yourself and listen (because you want it).

Although my favourite holiday as a child used to be Christmas because of the presents and the happy atmosphere . The last few years as I grow up I realized that the Easter is a little better. I think is more emotional and religious. Last year was the first time I tried to fast , I didn't eat meat for forty ( other people don't eat many other things) and made me realize that people do not truly need the meat in their daily life so much as other food. It is not so difficult to become a vegetarian lol , ok I'm not , but I was for forty days and I was completely fine it means something 😁. However we do have many interesting Greek Easter Traditions. For example , eggs are being boiled and dyed red , baking tsoureki , Church Bells, Tomb of Jesus, Midnight Church Service and Candles, Red Egg Cracking , Eating Magiritsa ( I don't really like it but many people here love it ) and the last one Roasting the lamp . And who forgets the Easter chocolate eggs or bunnies which are not greek tradition but people here especially kids love it because they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G .
