The Marvel series, Moon Knight, draws heavily from Ancient Egyptian Mythology. The show models its god after a violent ancient deity who is a complicated figure. He is a powerful killer but also regarded as a healer and protector by his worshippers. In this episode I work through the ancient pyramid and coffin texts and compare Marvel’s depiction of Khonsu, the Moon god, to that of the ancient Egyptians.
