I've been dxing a lxt xf study xn earth mythxs and sxmething that I keep cxming back tx is the Mummy... Namely because it's such an interesting case xf Xrientalism and blatant bigxtry... X((( Xriginally mummies were less sx seen as pursuing curse-wielding mxnsters and mxre like exxtic xtherwxrldly suitxrs!!! Even famxus authxrs like Bram Stxker wrxte xf mummies in a rxmanticized light in his nxvel the Jewel xf the Seven Stars!!! (Bram Stxker is a famxus earth authxr btw) And it's sx strange!!! Ever since Bxris Karlxff's 1930s Nxvel 'The Mummy' yxu dxn't really feel the impact xf the xlden 'rxmantic mummy'... I guess yxu cxuld alsx pxint tx the sexualizatixn xf Famxus Egyptian Figures and Deities like Clexpatra and Astarte... But that isn't quite as Mummy-centric if that makes sense??? X))) Sxrry!!! I'm rambling!!! I've just been cxnsidering writing a paper xn this sx it's been xn my mind...... https://media...tenxr...cxm/p2XQD1MUSKkAAAAj/wand-xf-gamelxn-gibdx...gif
