DF Spoilers / Re: What will Eb do?
« on: August 10, 2021, 04:49:09 AM »Certainly an intriguing possibility. I wouldn't mind meeting an "immortal mortal" if you like. No real powers, just lives forever. His real strength is his extensive knowledge.It's interesting to note that in all the iterations I could find, Ziusudra/Noah/etc has a wife, but she's never named. Noah's wife's name is speculated, but isn't known for sure. But in the case of Ziusudra and Atrahasis, the wife was made immortal too.
I wonder about him being around during the time of the pyramids though. He could have been there, but the Gods were fairly active back then. Not to mention the fact Pharaohs were considered living gods for a time. Considering the Pyramids were apparently about Sun worship I would think the Gods would have been more involved with their construction, myself. But maybe it was a joint thing.
I could see him being a part of the House of Life. Perhaps the proto- Librarians in fact. The House of Life were associated with Kingship, and preserving and creating knowledge. Sometimes also associated with physicians and magic. Interestingly, it possibly was absorbed by the Coptic traditions, and considering the enormous links between the Catholic Church and Egypt (the Catholic Church just loved getting Ancient Egyptian artefacts, particularly obelisks), I could see the House of Life becoming the Catholic Church, and then leaving and becoming the Librarians.
Although, considering their style in the Dogmen comic, I don't have high hopes. Far more MIB than Watchers.
If I were writing it, I'd have Ziusudra found the Library, and his wife found the Archive. Both of them taking different approaches to the same goal, of preserving humanity's wisdom.
It's all fan fic, of course, but I like it.
