What's so disconcerting about the Ancient Egyptian pantheon (for an outsider, I mean) is that they worshipped gods
they couldn't eat. For the rest of the world edibility is a key component of a God-Animal: a
lamb, a
fish, a
cow. But a scorpion? A dog? A lion? Those aren't on the menu ... how can we worship
them?
