Apocalypse - and the remains!

Does anyone remember, in the trailer of X Men Apocalypse, Apocalypse says that it has been called many names ‘Ra, Krishna, Yahweh’.

Later, a hindu group took offence of this for comparing a villain to Krishna, and a Jewish group took the same offence for Yahweh.

To bury the controversy, the statement was changed and in the movie he says, ‘Elohim, Shen, Ra’

The names Krishna and Yahweh were changed but not Ra. The reason being, there is no one left to take offence for the name Ra.

Ra is the ancient Egyptian sun god. People of the great Egypt, who had glorious history and mythology, don’t exist anymore. The Egyptian empire of Egypt is now ‘Arab Republic of Egypt’.

It blatantly proves how an entire culture got wiped out of the world due to external forces, and its pretty possible for it to happen in any era, no matter how deeply rooted, old and rich the culture maybe.

The ancient Egyptian culture is the same culture which built The Sphinx, The pyramids. The only leftovers of it that remains in this era are The Mummies, the reference of which we see in the horror movies.

There was a time when cultures used to hold empires together, they maintained a stability due to an identity that they provided, however today the modern day people hold a culture like a shackle instead of a bond, and they keep forgetting that the idea that a man can exist independent of any culture has already been found impossible.

A man will always be under the influence of a culture, society and culture mutually rise and fall. Its therefore his choice to choose whether he wants to live in his own culture or someone else’s.
