I enjoy your analyses but damn, the fact that you can't comprehend the traditional enormity of the Pharaoh's role in Egyptian society (ergo, the manifestation of divinity on earth) that'd make such a flagrant regicide and deicide so cruelty-worthy; that you'd pedestalize the breeding impulse masked by a romantic conception of love that's only existed since the middle ages as an inherent "good" and condemn any restriction thereon as "evil"; and that you'd put the majority of the responsibility on Imhotep for continuing a love-affair CONTRARY to the customs of the time and IN CONTRADICTION WITH your own apparent enthrallment to modernist, liberal egalitarianism INSTEAD OF admitting an equal responsibility shared by Anck-su-namun ('cause women are agents, not objects, and she could've put an end to their relationship at ANY time) tells me a lot about your character and presentist outlook.
The Pharaoh's a controlling d'ck, what his successors did to Imhotep was unfair, love is the most important thing ever, and it's all the dude's fault even though it takes two to tango. Anubis' ass, man; what short-sighted, biased take...
I thank you for taking the time to examine this antagonist and his story but, holy sh't do you have some historical myopia and pervasive, mind-consuming sociopolitics... 😦
