If someone were to seriously worship Kek unironically, how would someone do that? What rituals would be involved in the practice of prayer?
>>
>>18568351
Step one: Buy a rope.
>>
>>18568351
Why would you? It's like worshipping Marduk or Ba'al. It's just kind of useless.
>>
Kek the 4chan egregore? You'd probably have to look into certain boards (/pol/, /x/, /b/, etc. It can manifest anywhere, it depends on where the topic (subject) that kek wants to appear in is present) and look for digits since that is how it "anoints" truths.

If you are asking how to become a channeler, that is not something you learn but rather born with.

For kek the god, I won't tell you.

Look into kemetism, that's the name for ancient egyptian neopaganism.
>>
>>18568351
Step one: Find a Temple of Kek.
Step two: Read the instructions on the mural.
>>
>>18568351
The Ancient Egyptians didn't practice patronage, you can't pick and choose a god or gods to worship, you worship them all, with many, including the Ogdoad, being of very little importance.

What is more 4chan, kek, or cuck (kuk)?
>>
>>18568356
Marduk was worshipped for more than 3,000 years. Why do you think Jahweh is more likely to be the true god?
>>
>>18568351
unironically frogposting is a form of praise, the equivalent of a Christian posting Jesus as his op pic for an unrelated subject.
say kek when you find somthing funny.

kek is an egregore so doing things which spread his image and likeness is feeding it

Baal is a title which means lord

Gooold?

It's also a god though. The Jahwists absorbed a bunch of other Canaanite god's ideas. Adonai also means lord. El(ohim) was the Canaanite god father. Jahweh is a storm god just like Ba'al

kek blesses all who answer the call to shitposting

I wonder if all the old gods are still around somewhere and they just gave up on humanity
>>
>>18571124
Uhh.. so basically after Jesus, all of the known Pagan gods were turned into fallen angels.. because there could only be one of the big men upstairs.

Do we even know that "Kek" was his name? Do we know any Egyptian gods' names for sure?
>>
>>18571691
Not exactly. Egyptians didn't use vocals in their writings, just consonants. So it's just "Kk" in writing. There must be a vocal between the two k's and potentially one after the second k.

Sometimes we are lucky and the words are mentioned in other languages that do use vowels. Like coptic or latin. Copic in particular is the best bet since it's a language spoken in later egypt.

Kk is likely related the word for darkness kkw.
In coptic that's pronounced khaki or kake. So it might actually be something like Ka-ke or Ka-ki rather than Kek. But be aware that pronunciations shift over time and there were thousands of years involved.
>>
>>18571711
Do we know of any rules concerning vowel sounds? e.g. front unrounded vowels follow voiceless velar stops? And they had zero glyphs that denoted vowels similar to Hebrew diacritics?
I've always been annoyed at how it's just impossible to properly know what Egyptian sounded like.
>>
>>18571711
>>18571730
It's probably worse than that. Egyptians didn't really know alphabet yet, that only got invented by Phoenicians much later. The sound correspondences could be more an invention of the decipherment, that actual reality. It's somewhat similar to chinese, except that words are more explicitly written as a bunch of symbols that hint on pronunciation + semantic determiners. Unless I'm mistaken the hieroglyphs in OP read ḥ q t - female person. It's another god: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heqet

A more phonetic way of writting apparently existed, but it was only used for names that would sound obscure to Ancient Egyptians.
>>
>>18571817
But if hieroglyphs were purely ideographic, then there'd be no concept of phonemic orthography. So where did the written consonants come from? I can understand adopting the Phoenician system of glyphs only representing sounds, but there are two millennia separating the early dynastic period and the third intermediate period around the time the Phoenician alphabet emerged. So for 2100 years, they were using syllabic characters. In all that time, no one thought it might be a good idea to transcribe speech? No records of dialects? Boggles my mind that they relegated phonetic characters for the same use that the Japanese use katakana.
They must not have seen much of a point in writing. Hell, even cuneiform included vowels. Or maybe you don't need much writing to conduct to conduct trade and accounting.
>>
>>18571868
Phonemes aren't something that is immediately obvious. They even kind of really aren't present in speech in any really meaningful way. They had to be invented, and taught.

Hieroglyphs can be split in three groups
>phonograms (symbols representing sounds)
>logograms (symbols representing entire words)
>determinatives (pictures placed at the end of words to clarify the overall meaning)

The phonograms you can translate to sounds (there are 24 of those), the other ones you just have to know (by finding something like the rosetta stone where the text is translated to another language). It does not help that the same symbol sometimes is a phonogram and in other contexts will be one of the other two.
>>
>>18571868
Hieroglyphs were initially used by scribes too, but towards the later periods of egypt they were just used by priests. Everyone else switched to simpler foreign scripts. That's why the knowledge of how to read them also died together with the priesthood.
>>
>>18571891
How was the ability to read hieroglyphs lost in time if there has been living people in Egypt since the pharaohs?
>>
>>18572144
Hieroglyphs were a pain in the ass to read and write in, so by late antiquity Egyptians switched to writing Egyptian in much simpler scripts like demotic and later Coptic. The only people who still knew how to read hieroglyphs by late antiquity were priests. So when Christians outlawed paganism and violently stamped out pagan priesthoods in Egypt, the knowledge to read hieroglyphs died with them.
>>
>>18572144
Like I said, at some point only priests in the temples still knew how to read and write hieroglyphs. It was delegated to being a religious script.

Egypt became a Roman province in 30 BC. Then when Christianity spread through the Roman empire the old religion was suppressed and temples were shut down. Emperor Theodosius I. shut down the last temples of the old religion around 394 AD, which was also the last documented time hieroglyphs were carved in the Temple of Isis in Philae.

>egyptian neopaganism.
the word "paganism" should really be retired - what's the point of using non-christian as a label on things? There is zero relationship between egyptian paganism and nordic paganism - they dont belong together in one category
>>
>>18572507
Does the ancient egyptian religion even have a name?
>>
>>18568351
>as an internet sensation
Some organized imageboard activity I suppose. Codewords as "prayers" embedded in replies, embed pictures of frogs, online "pilgrimages" across imageboards.
>as egyptian-esque religion
idfk. Something akin to an altar with a similar frog statuette such as that and incense?

No, they didn’t have a specific term because they just viewed it as a fact of life. The truth is all religions sweet historically like this and specific terms for them are relatively recent
