Looks Greek to me. It would make sense that they kept a version of the Elysian mystery.

New Kingdom stuff. All the good stuff from the Old and Middle Kingdom was long forgotten.

Holy Ba'al Peor!

I'm writing a book now centering upon the beliefs of a particular low-dose stoner of the early-mid 20th Century, and how his efforts to curtail human population growth to protect the environment have backfired ecologically to the point of a biological catastrophe, one that continues sight unseen.

Interestingly, it would seem Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea has seen a genetic temporal biodistribution that strongly resembles anthropogenic influences.

It is strange to me what we call a "lotus" species varies so strongly from water lilies to dry-land fabaceae. One wonders why.

Bes was the common ancient Egyptians’ household deity. During the New Kingdom, and Late Kingdom particularly during Roman times, that the images and uses became larger and more commonplace.

Also check out our FR’s selection of NDE topics. :^)

A low-dose stoner trying to curtail human population... he’d be too lazy to cross the room for a condom, talk about failing to achieve goals...

;^)

Here is a link to the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-78721-8

Our analyses revealed traces of Peganum harmala, Nimphaea nouchali var. caerulea, and a plant of the Cleome genus, all of which are traditionally proven to have psychotropic and medicinal properties.


Peganum harmala would be Rue tea. They trip on it to this day IIRC.

talk about failing to achieve goals...

He directed the invention of "the pill," which (at the rate things are going) will eventually substitute Islam for Western Civ.

Now that's backlash.

Or should I have said just, "Civ."

I believe the Caprocratians or Phibionites (who claimed to be Christian Gnostics) of Egypt used something similar.

And NO, I won’t tell you what it was.

Ah, thank you. I did an intranet search and now see why Bes was not included in books I have read.
He is one of those.... Male prosperity gods that was not spoken of in polite company.

Later on one of his followers started the first male prosperity ministry.

Either that or the passage of 2,000 years. They didn’t have Prevagen then.

They had it, but the media told them it was only for veterinary medicine.
