No, you fucking idiots. It may surprise you, but death cult and health cults are something very, very different from a fertility cult.
One was OBSESSED with after-life and in particular with the physical state of your body after your death, the other with waking off into the river.
Neither of the cultures you mentioned had NEARLY as pronounced death cults, or medical knowledge as Egyptians. Assyrians in particular had particularly poorly developed after-life compared to Egyptians, and Scythians were steppe culture barely above Mongols that were in NO WAY exceptional or interesting due to their culture of health, body or medicine.
You fucking retard.

Keywords being "if you feel like it". No one ever said he SHOULD add all those things, just that he should pick whatever works for him, his players and their preferences.
Just that one splerglord that took the post too literal to begin with

They fucking well were not, or at least they weren't by the time of the Middle and New Kingdoms.

I thought all the Assyrians believed in some sort of frozen hellhole "the afterlife is then DMV" type shit where status in life determined the status in death in the clerical court, and the dead were faggots who would fuck your shit up if you didn't give them offerings.
Or am I thinking of that other Mesopotamian religion?

just dont include any muslim shitskins or WE WUZ KINGZ niggers in your fantasy egypt, real ancient egyptians before they mixed with the current muslims were tanned whites that gave out their royal family members for marriage to as far as ireland

>Or am I thinking of that other Mesopotamian religion? Mesopotamia is a region that gave birth to multiple different cultures and civilizations, including Assyria and Babylon. That said, from that description I can't really pinpoint where does that come from.
The main thing about Egyptian view of after-life, especially compared to say, Assyrian view of it, is that in Egyptian world-view: the AFTER LIFE IS WHAT MATTERS, and your entire real life is just kind of a build-up to it. Their culture was OBSESSED with death. Everything you did really mattered only from the prism of how it will influence your after-life. It's also why their medical knowledge was so insanely good - it was directly related to their obsession and anticipation of the after-life, as one of the beliefs included was that the state of the human soul in the after-life will be directly reflecting the physical state of the body in the real world. Hence the obsession with conservation of dead bodies, which has driven the interest in physicality of human body in the first place. But it has been also the main MORAL motivator in Egyptian life too. Because not only your real "success" depended on your ability to secure your body and wealth for your burial, but your soul would also undergo an actual TRIAL in the afterlife, which is where really your righteous or evil actions will impact your existence. So both interest in health, much of the wealth accumulation, AND most of moral reasoning in Egyptian culture were driven obsessively by events that are only going to take place after your death.
Fantastic fucking argument, kid.

not as good as the one about the thief who was so good at thieving that the Pharaoh let him marry his daughter

I'm doing it by essentially ripping off this cover. Githyanki trapped on the world, they've taken over a region and made it essentially into fantasy egypt with their kind as the higher class/anointed people of the gods.
