LOVE the new Egyptian ranks, Z! Thoth is so cool! I just saw a special on Discovery about the search for Imhotep and they uncovered a stash of thousands of mummified ibis (birds.. I think that's what Thoth's head is... anyone know for sure?). Anyway, NEAT!!!

quote: Yes, Ibis is an African wading bird with a very long thing beak that curves downwards - just like Thoth there! They are really beautiful birds, lovely glossy plumage - although I never saw any when I was in Egypt I have seen some at a bird conservation park here in England [img]smile.gif[/img] Ziroc, I adore the Egyptian ranks - my interest in Archaeology was sparked by the Tutankhamun exhibition arriving in London in 1977, and I have been Egypt mad ever since (unfortunately I never got to the British Museum to see the exhibition when it was here, but in 1994/5 I fulfilled an ambition and went to see it at the museum in Cairo!!!!) More Egyptian ranks please!!

He he..Nisse [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]
But still..ranks with the old nordic gods..don't know what they're called in english [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] , but on swedish: "Asagudarna"...you know, Odin and Tor and all the others.. Actually, one "representative" god from most religions, would be pretty cool..
