I was big into Egyptian mythology as a kid. Mom got me a few books on it. I remember reading that one and thinking I probably shouldn’t be reading it, also what?

I sometimes suspect that a lot of mythology was equally weird and scatological like this at some point, but over generations, various things caused them to be censored to what we more popularly know them as. I think part of this is its a relic trope from humanity’s belief of seeing the cosmos as a macrocosm of ourselves and visa versa (but microcosm).
