10:20 Writing this before seeing your response to test myself: as a kid from children's pop science books, I learned that Horus is the god of SKY, not just sun, the sun gods were Amun and Ra (or Re), later combined into Amun-Ra... Set was NOT a god of darkness, at all. He was god of dry sandy wind. Very specific to region deity, which wouldn't really work outside of desert. He also wasn't always seen as evil, as Seti and Ramesses dynasty worshiped him as their main deity.
It's such a streeeeeetch, almost as if they wanted to claim common dichotomy of light vs dark AND a tie to Egypt as it's popular, and managed to miss that there's Ra defeating Apep the snake (anyone who played Assassin's Creed Origins would know) and raising the sky chariot every dawn that would fit way more, but they went with Horus vs Set because they played Tomb Raider 4 or something... Nah, they wanted to make a Cain/Abel parallel, which also wouldn't work (they aren't even brothers), later.
P.S. I specifically quoted non-academic stuff but things a CHILD would know, for example, you go into Duat and see the giant skeleton of Apep in Assassin's Creed, a game series that never claimed great historical accuracy but the guys like Peter Joseph don't even pass the videogame level of knowledge on Egyptian myths. Or children's book level of cursory knowledge on ancient Egypt... Did he even watch the Mummy? :3

@ so by your logic, every American and Canadian is an Englishman. Except ppl in Quebec, who are French. Also nationalism wasn't a thing back then, Ptolemaic Egypt WAS EGYPT. Not Greece.
I'm so tired of Westerners claiming other people's achievements as their own, USAtians saying "I am 2% Irish that means I take credit for building stone henge"...
NO. You are American if you're born in America. Full stop. You're not Greek, Irish, or German. If you were born, lived and worked all of your life in Africa, it's pretty ridiculous when people 2000 years later claim you're a European.
And EVERYBODY was Greekified back then, Israel, Egypt, Persia, Rome... doesn't mean Jesus disciples were Greeks because they spoke Koine same way I speak English now.
