The Forgotten Titan ✔️

16. The First United Gods

If you’ve been following in this book then you can expect that when Exodus walked out of Olympus, worse things happened. So I oblige you to read further because this is where it gets a bit interesting.

Exodus knew they were hiding something. He also knew it was Hecate’s fault. The mist had been obscuring the Gods, Greeks, Romans and Egyptians vision from one another. But this was it. The world was about to find out that there were other gods.

Exodus decided that he wanted to see Egypt so he started his journey there. He first went to the Luxor Temple where he met one of the sun gods, Amun. Amun, as you can remember, is the god of life. Basically the Egyptian equivalent of Exodus. The Egyptians called him Amun-Ra. He and Exodus got along greatly.

The next day, Exodus stumbled out the temple. He must’ve felt sick from all the information. Amun had explained that there first was Chaos then Order. So the Deities he met created wind, water and etc but what really created their world was Apophis.

Exodus felt weak and dizzy. He sat down and looked at his arm. It was turning a darker tinge of brown. He, too late, realized what was happening. He tried to make a run to the temple but he lost control as Trigon took his place on top.

ΩΩΩ

Even though Trigon was back in the world, he still saw fit in Exodus’ plan.  If there were other gods and monsters then he needed to find them. He finished his journey in  two days. He visited Step Pyramid of Djoser (the first pyramid), the Valley of Kings (a burial site), the Great Sphinx (a lion with the head of a female Pharoah) and of course the Great Pyramid of Giza.

He met many gods including the god of Evil, Set. Set told him everything about his family, about his nephew, Horus and his sister, Isis, as well as his resentful search for his prey. Trigon understood what this god felt, this meaning that he got along with Set and he vowed that if Set ever needed him, he would be there.

At the end of the day, Trigon had all the info he needed. Like the Olympian gods, the Egyptians had a rough history and the fighter, Horus the avenger, king of the gods, had won. The same way Zeus had one during the Titan war.

Trigon had scoured everything. The gods moved all over. They liked to stay where they were believed in most. While the Olympians where living in Europe, the Egyptians fought for control. Cleopatra’s needle was built as a piece symbol between the Olympians and Egyptians. Many more obelisks were built to symbolize these great gods who roam in their countries.

But there was something mysterious about this. There was a third group. See, temples and statues were built to symbolize the Olympians.  Temples were built for all gods but when you think about Egypt, you think pyramids and obelisks. But some temples weren’t like the Olympus ones. They were different.
Olympus temples were made from marble. The roofs were held up by columns which carried on all around.

Inside the temple, there was no furniture. In the walls were statues of the god it was built for and at the end was a twenty metre statue of the god. At the sides of the god's feet were two sacrificial fires.

But the other temples were totally different. These were more open. It was symmetric, built almost like a medieval castle. Inside was a hall lined with pillars. At the end of the hall was Egyptian type god, basically a god with an animal head but the body was also an animal, the same animal. And it was in a weird position like it was stretching or concentrating. Maybe both.

ΩΩΩ

Trigon travelled east from Egypt. The Egyptians told him there were others that were out there , others like different people, other cultures and even other gods. Trigon asked about the different temples and the Egyptians said they didn’t make them. The people were called ‘countrymen’ which was a name that meant born in foreign country. They were supposedly called this because they couldn’t adapt to the ways the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians lived. They just came and built there temples and left.
