** While Bek can get past Set's traps through quick wits and by dint of being smaller than the gods, the way the traps are set up means that a god who can fly could have easily bypassed ''all of them'' - however, only two gods are shown with this ability: Horus, who at the point the treasury was built was no longer able to fly, and Nephthys, who isn't exactly a skilled thief since she is the goddess of protection, and is also on the run from Set... and this becomes doubly brilliant since Set could actually have deliberately constructed the traps this way to lure in Nephthys as the only one who can retrieve the eye, since he wants to steal her wings - the same way Set's pyramid with the guarding sphinx is set up to lure in Thoth as the only one who could answer the riddle, and the one whose intellect Set wants to steal.

Set wondering about Osiris's accomplishment moved here from YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* At first glance, it appears that Set [[YouAnsweredYourOwnQuestion answered his own question]] the moment he asked what Osiris has accomplished in a 1000 years of peace. He also conveniently ignores the utopia built in Ancient Egypt. A poor choice of words? Not really from his perspective. Set is the god of ''deserts, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners''. The cites of Ancient Egypt has none, if not little of those shown onscreen under Osiris' rule, which made Set's domains practically irrelevant. No wonder Set didn't count what Osiris did as accomplishments.

Fridge Brilliance: Bek's trap avoidance skills

Added DiffLines:

* Bek can defeat Urshu's traps, as well as get into Set's pyramid, simply by dint of being ''human''-sized - obviously, neither Urshu nor Set ever considered mere ''humans'' as a threat, displaying the all-too common disdain for humanity that many gods show. A god-sized individual would not have been able to avoid casting a shadow on the sensors in Set's treasury or slip past the statues swinging their weapons, and would more easily have become trapped between the shifting stones of Set's pyramid.

Typo in page layout; Set's use of family terms


[[]/folder]

to:

[[]/folder]* Especially in the first half of the movie, Set uses many terms relating to family, like even calling his human soldiers his sons, hinting that his inability to have children preys heavily on his mind and setting him up as failing the test Ra has set him, which is only revealed much later.

* Why has Hathor apparently never tried to use her CharmPerson ability that allows her to command anybody who is not in love on Set? Because Set ''is'' in love - with ''himself'', as his actions and particularly his argument with Ra make clear.
