    An incredibly unheard of but if history is the reign of Akenaten. We all know his son, Tutanchamun, or, how he was originally called Tutanchaten.

    You see the change in the name? That was the schism that Akenaten tried to enforce. He changed the religion from Amun-centric to Aten-centric. Atenism was basically referring just the sun as God.

    Akenaten tried to change the bloated religious and burocratic society that had arisen from priesthood being hereditary. There was an abundance of priests that provided little towards society.

    He tried to change the religious sphere by moving the capital, changing the religion to pure sun worship.

    After his death, though, Egyptians quickly moved back to their polytheistic ways and destroyed as much as they could of Akenatens legacy. His sun was renamed in Amuns honor and died quite young, spurring on conspiracy theories.

    I don’t really know how to bend this on topic. But the change to sun worship made me think of this. Only that the Egyptians only really shortly worshipped only the sun.








  • In my experience the Finns are more open to impromptu wrestling that gets strangely erotic depending on the amount of inebriation.

    The homo eroticism is mostly subconscious, though (the inebriation level is such that there is a case for plausible denyability).

    I must stress that this is not denieing and sluttiness from Denmark.




  • I have a really uncommon first name (The only thing I’m in the 1% with).

    I was visiting Ireland with my parents. They had met a couple of other Dutch people at the bar, who happened to be staying in the same hostel.

    At breakfast they joined our table. My parents introduced me: ‘This is our son Aka’. The guy says: That’s funny, I once met a boy with that name before, this was in Yugoslavia, I believe in '84.

    Turns out this guy was the savior that once retrieved my swimming shoe from the bottom of a bay in the Adriatic sea once, ten years before.

    If I had a more common name, we would never had known.
