Ahkmenrah - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Ahkmenrah and Kahmunrah's names are just,,,lowkey a mean cosmic joke, huh.
"Ahkmenrah" and "Kahmunrah" aren’t that different, with "men"/"mun" likely being references to Amun and just spelling variants? The "rah" at the end is in reference to Ra. These are reasonable associations, as Amun and Ra are among the prime / solar deities connected to the line of the pharaohs. The difference is in the first syllable: Ahk and Kah. To put it simply, the Akh and the Ka -- parts of the ancient Egyptian soul. The akh is the part of the soul to face judgement in the Hall of Osiris, specifically the worthy soul that passes through and is honored in light of Ma’at. The ka is the part of the soul associated with the image / spark of the living, usually mistranslated as “double.”
In a sense, Ahk and Kah's names are a bit like “angel” and “corpse” or “ghost” which,,,yikes. It’s kind of a writer's joke / commentary on how Ahkmenrah is the worthy soul that passes on to the afterlife he deserves, while Kahmunrah is nothing more than an image of who he was in life. In the world of NatM, that means his parents,,,named him knowing, or hoping, that his soul wouldn’t be good enough to reach the afterlife and pass judgement? Why?
Thinking about this, I realize that "kah" is also part of Merenkahre's name. That could potentially lead to a less symbolic but more plausible in-universe explanation? In general, names mean something altogether, not piecemeal,,, Is there any sort of dvd commentary on this? Or info I'm missing?
It feels weird that I finally stopped using this site on web mode and installed the app and learnt to use it just to read Ahkmenrah fanfics 💀
