I love the idea of everyone dreamily going about their usual tourist business, but today the Sphinx's head is Dagoth Ur quietly reading aloud Under The Pyramids by HP Lovecraft, and everyone sort of remembers that happening, without any recollection that it was particularly strange, but all photos from the day show that the head of the Sphinx is still the human face we all recognise.
So basically, if you go to Egypt, don't tell anyone you're a magician or you might get jumped by a pharaoh and thrown into a death pit where an army of human/animal mummies worship a primordial god-monster. Pretty solid advice, all things considered.
Lovecraft was well-travelled -- in the area of New England; where he was terrified of everything and proceeded to write stories about them. Seriously; 'Nyarlathotep' was about Nikola Tesla's exhibition at the Worlds Fair. This guy was legit afraid of everything.
Everyone talks about how Lovecraft was racist, which was normal for the time. Nobody ever talks about how he later on admitted his racism was wrong. But I suppose in today's culture, forgiveness and redemption are not allowed. I hope you're never found to be "problematic" because you can't ever be redeemed.
Maybe because it denies the roots of the observed phenomena which lie in objective social and economic conditions? Or maybe because it lead to and justify an inhumane behavior to fellow human beings based on some arbitrarily chosen and meaningless external characteristics?

Dagoth Sus !!!!! !
Yea the racism would have spoke to him
@@zzzzzz-zn1yw 💯
he would have loved saying n'wah
@@acrustykrab he'd have named his pet nix-hound: N'wah-man.
It's 3am. Algo gave me this. Let's go
Ah yes, the great pharaoh Catherine. Some think his name to be Khafre, but Dagoth Ur knows better.
Dagoth Ur's wisdom is beyond reproach; that's why He's the Sharmat and we are mere dreamers.
Amnesia the Dark Descent basically took this story and changed a couple things to fit their game😄
i love these
The Neuroticism really shines through in anything he writes
Oh yea, here we go.

Lovecraft would have rightfully hated video games, amongst the things/folks he SHOULDNT have hated lol
Lovecraft is smarter than you will ever be. He had the right ideas
@@lightdot459 I don't think Lovecraft could replace a transmission on a car so by your logic I AM smarter than him. Tell Carli to call me later.
