ancient egypt
More specifically, I'm working on my Egyptian god and goddess section. Some of this info I collected and haven't even read yet, so even though it's slow work it's fun. Especially the 'idea' gods, like Ma'at (truth) or Shait (destiny). (both goddesses) And I love it that there is a fairly even female to male ratio. In Ancient Egypt, you better believe that women weren't quiet, subserviant types. Look at Hathor (the eye of Ra, and his instrument of vengance), or even Bastet (goddess of the household, who occasionally took on lioness form), Selket (scorpion goddess)... it goes on and on.
The more I learn about ancient Egypt, the more I love it.
