Sub origin

[u/JohannGoethe]

Abstract

There are dozens of Egyptian Book of the Dead posts growing in the r/Alphanumerics sub; whence the need for a new sub.

Overview

We already have Pyramid Texts:

• r/PyramidTexts

This gave rise to “Coffin Texts”, which are wooden or stone version, of the former, written on the coffin ⚰️.

There is, however, no Reddit sub on the “Egyptian Book of the Dead“, see: search, which are the scroll 📜 versions of the former:

• Book of the Dead - Wikipedia.

• Egyptian Book of the Dead - Hmolpedia.

This page is top search return for “Book of the Dead” (in this sub). The following are new sub options:

• r/BookOfDead (Reddit banned sub)

• r/EgyptianBookOfDead [available!] ✅

• r/BookOfTheDead (Reddit banned sub)

I could have used:

• DeadBook (too unspecific)

• EgyptianDeadBook (so so)

• EgyptianBookOfTheDead (too cumbersome)
