Have you heard of Black Sands. I saw people talking about it from tik-tok. Its about Egyptian Mythology

OH! don't get me started on the guy behind those comics. he took such an interesting mythology and made it so uninteresting, not to mention his characters have no emotional change or anything because he doesn't believe in people crying and thinks it makes people look weak, yeah ok.

his female characters are just background characters and have no purpose. this man hypes his story so much, but i was so disappointed.

besides being sexist, he has antisemitic undertones. he allowed his comments to talk the most disgusting things about jewish people, and im not going to support something that allows hate against my people to continue.

at least lore olympus is somewhat interesting, black sands or whatever is so boring. it's like he tried to apeal to younger audiences with what we watch in anime, but missed the emotional capacity the anime characters have and just focused on the fights. even the anime with some of the most fights (dragon ball) has goku cry, so whatever. he tries fails to appeal to a younger audience and is trying to force an anime and game.

people will jump backwards to try to claim kleopatra is not greek like she spoke kione greek, was the descendant of ptolemy soter I, who was from macedonia. the ptolemies were explicitly greek, they gave their children greek names, commissioned portraits of themselves using greek iconography, they minted greek-style coins, and sponsored greek intellectuals.

The worst history takes I’ve ever seen on tik tok:

• “alexander the great was a woman”

• “rome was fake”

• “beethoven’s music wasn’t political”

• “demeter was a terrible mother”

to add into the first one:

“the catholic church made rome up”

“any roman coins found are circus coins”

The worst history takes I’ve ever seen on tik tok:

• “alexander the great was a woman”
