Reading Notes: Ancient Egyptian Myths and Stories, Part A



Ra and Hathor

Story idea: Apple's users, like the earthly men in the story, have become rather critical of the company. Apple becomes very upset, and believes that they might try to up and leave the company, or maybe just demand that CEO be fired or something, so Apple sends out messengers to go and collect their Apple devices (could be in the terms of service agreement or something). Almost all of the devices have been collected, but the the head of Apple decides that he actually wants Apple to go on living, and no longer fears the users' revolt. (Could be due to a letter sent by a young artists, or a mother talking about how an iPad really helped their kids learn numbers/read/etc.)

Osiris

The interesting thing about this mythology is the gods are really interactive with the humans in a positive way. Osiris and Isis teach the Egyptians about agriculture and how to live peacefully, which is pretty different from the stories in Greek and Roman mythology.
