thread_title: And Seshat?

message: "The association with baboons lead to him occasionally being said to be dating Astennu, one of the (male) baboons at the place of judgement in the underworld, and on other occasions, Astennu was said to be Thoth himself."
Is this a typo or are you using the modern American concept of dating to describe a relationship between to ancient mythical gods?  Please use a more appropriate term.
:The word is modern American/English. But dating is almost as old as sex. --Victim of signature fascism 23:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Ancient Egyptian gods dating?

message: I haven't seen any actual citations for what I moved into the History section, and much of it, looks right now like Original Research.  Of course, if someone has stated that reasoning, or it is based upon cited facts which logically must come to that conclusion, it wouldn't be.  But, there are no actual citations at all, and I don't know if it comes from the sources listed but not cited below, or if those are old and apply to nothing.  So, while I add my citations later for this article in the mythology section, and go work on Maàt and Nut (goddess) for a few days, I'll see if someone can cite that, otherwise I'll have to remove anything I find that conflicts as uncited.

thread_title:  History 

message: It says here that Thoth is one of the gods behind Shazam's powers (or something to that effect), and that the 'Z' in 'Shazam' stands for Zehuti, an alternate spelling of Djehuty.
However, on the Shazam page, it states that the 'Z' represents Zeus.
I'm not an expert on the Shazam comic, but I'm just a casual observer of this discrepancy. It's a comic that has been around for a very long time, so I'd assume that a series dating back to the early part of the century would be more likely to reference the popular Zeus than an alternate spelling of an alternate name for an Egyptian god that most people might not know anything about.
However, I'm not positive if the background story has been changed over time, so I'm not confident to remove this trivia fact.
:I have never heard this before. I assume it's wrong. I'm going to remove it ... if someone can source it, it can go back in, but I'm pretty sure it's a fabrication. - CheNuevara 16:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
