You travel thousands of years from the past to 2024 and watch the most recent depictions of the gods you used to worship. How do you react? (lemmy.ml)

Well, cats are still worshiped as they gods they are, so that's good. Ra and Anubis, and especially Thoth, are shadows of themselves, so that's disheartening. The enduring brilliance of Ra is self-evident: the sun still rises. The extent to which people have fallen in moral decadence and false idol worship, so far that they've forgotten and taken for granted the source of all life, is immeasurably disappointing.
