(I can’t be the only one here who saw that film.)

I didn’t see it, though it sounded interesting, esp. the buddhist robot segment. Was it good?

Sort of. IMO zombies are played out, which meant the first segment wasn’t to my tastes, and the final segment was cute but of little depth.

The robot segment was the best of the three and is worth searching out by itself, though I get the feeling they weren’t certain how to end it. (If you think a bit too hard about some parts towards the end of that segment, they kind of fall apart.)

Time for breakfast!

I (at least once) did a performance where I ate a bowl of this whilst in an Akhenaten mask.

Of course, the box shows his son, the Aten-traitor Tutankhamun, after he changed his name from Tutankhaten - and died young, if that’ll teach you anything about flaunting the Sun Disk!

No, I have no idea now what I meant by the piece, and probably did not then. I was trying to play with things, assemble them. There were other performances where I ate AlphaBits, as I was always heavily involved with language. And eating.

I need to lose weight.

Similarities between the African-Kemetic/Anu religious myths of Osiris and Seth (Set or Setan) and Cain and Abel respectively.

Osiris is the most written about and documented mythical god in African history. He is a pre-dynastic god, who’s myth was written about and revised over all 30 plus African-Kemetic/Anu dynasties. There are multiple myths about Osiris, one of them is his murder at the hands of his evil brother Seth.

In myth, Osiris, is the son of the god Geb and goddess Nut. Osiris became ruler of Earth and during his rule, the Earth was a place of peace, love and prosperity for all. In myth, Seth was also the son of Geb and Nut. In earlier representations of his myth, Seth was a good god who helped the son of Osiris, Heru or Horus (Seth’s nephew), battle the evil serpent Apep, in a fierce battle to protect the gods, goddess and humans on Earth from harm.

Seth is also a mythical pre-dynastic god and his myth was reworked in later African-Kemetic/Anu dynasties. In later African-Kemetic/Anu dynasties, Seth became a evil god, the definition of evil incarnate. Seth became the mortal enemy and adversary of his brother, Osiris and nephew, Heru.

In the myth where Seth murders Osiris, he has become envious of his brother Osiris, who as mentioned, was the ruler of Earth. In this well known myth, Seth tricked Osiris by getting him to lay down in a chest. Once inside the chest Seth and his evil cohorts locked the chest, trapping Osiris inside and cast it into the Nile River, killing his brother, Osiris.

One of Osiris’s varied myths, is that of a lunar god. A version of the murder of Osiris at the hands of his envious and evil brother Seth; is Seth at night under the moon, finding the body of the murdered Osiris in the Nile River–and cutting the body up into pieces, that correspond to the number of days between the new and full phases of the moon.

In myth, the wife of Osiris, Isis finds his dismembered body parts (except his phallus), and with the help of the sister of Osiris and Isis, Nephthys, the goddesses resurrect Osiris. After his resurrection Osiris cannot return to Earth, so he departs Earth and becomes the Lord of the Underworld, where departed souls go on their journey to everlasting life with Osiris–or everlasting torment in the Underworld.

Osiris’s son Heru, grows up and wages war against his evil uncle Seth, over control of Earth. Heru avenged the death of his father at the hands of Seth. In one version Seth is driven from the face of the Earth, turns into a snake and seeks safety in a hole in the ground. In another version, the god Theuti (Thoth) negotiates a settlement to end the fighting, that drives Seth from the land and restores Heru as ruler of Earth–and bring peace, love and prosperity back to Earth.

Genesis 4:2–8

2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an off ering unto the LORD. 4. And Abel, he also brought of the fi rstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Genesis 4:11–12

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand. 12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

Genesis 4:14–16

14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 16. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Seth was unhappy that Osiris was ruler of the Earth. Abel was unhappy because his offering was rejected by God

Cain murdered Abel. Seth murdered Osiris.

Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, they were outside the garden of Eden but interacted with God. Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Seth, Heru, Geb and Nut, are all gods and goddesses.

When Cain murdered Abel, he was afraid people would kill him, so God intervened and placed a mark on Cain so anyone who harmed him would face retribution from God. God then drove Cain from the face of the land–and Cain went to live in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

The mythical African-Kemetic/Anu god Tehuti (Thoth), intervened in the war Heru was waging against Seth and negotiated a settlement that ended the war. In another version, Seth was defeated by Heru; then driven out; and escaped by turning himself into a snake to hide in a hole in the ground.

Abel was a shepherd, the signature symbols of Osiris are the shepherd’s tools–the crook and flail. The crook and flail of Osiris are symbolic to his myth; and in art depicted with Osiris. The crook and flail was viewed by believers as equivalent to how Christians view the cross.

Cain was a tiller of the earth, Osiris was the ruler of the earth.

You don’t have to apologize for anything :smile:! The only things at fault here are my bad day for making me grumpy and our twisted system of artistic rights for blocking the video. Just out of curiosity though, what country should I set my VPN to? :wink:
