So, some of you may have seen my post about ancient Egyptians and what they might have thought about those who went through or planned to go through sexual reassignment surgery and the like. Well, I was just thinking the other day about life, the universe, and everythingand I was remembering the story of how Osiris died and was put back together. Part of it was that Isis/Aset/Auset (I put all spellings I know because I know some people are picky--and they have a right to be) couldn't find her husband's penis so she made him a new one. I find that this somehow reflects back to the ancient Egyptian belief that one must have their genitals intact to enter the after life, but I can't make the exact connection. Where and how does this connect? I really feel like it reflects back onto the whole needing genitals thing. Maybe the belief was just the whole "it's ancient times and we need to procreate to keep up the population" thing. Which makes sense, but... Anyways, would anyone like to share their thoughts on this?
