gdsdfjgdflkg, ok, so, you can find the posts for my AU over on @i-centri-degli-universi . It's the Jerusalem AU, though I will say sorry, because a lot of the posts do revolve around the European Pilgrims rather than the Egyptian relic peddlers who set up shop in Jerusalem, but I also tag for character names, so if you just want Egyptian-involved content, 'mohammed' 'rut' and 'magdy' are their names! AND I am always down to talk about this AU and swap ideas in the dms!!!! I created it when I took a class on travel writings in late medieval europe, all of which were centered around pilgrimage writings and I had a lot of fun with the cultural interplay.
(And here's also an introduction and a drawing of Team Egypt for my main Human/Organized Crime AU, which is where all the OCs come from that I then use for historical AUs).
So tired of Egypt just being ancient Egypt 2.0
Look i get it i know the pharos and mummies are the most popular thing about Egyptians but what's the point of making them separate characters if you're gonna represent them with the same time period
Ancient Egypt died in 30 BC when the romans came in and fucked shit up Egypt has like 2050 years worth of history that has nothing to do with pharos yet that's all he's known for
Egypt doesn't even worship those Egyptian gods the romans forced Christianity on him then Muslims got their turn with forcing their religion on him
Also why is he always drawn in a dessert the whole population is condensed around the nile why would someone willingly live in a dessert when there's a river right there
#beablabbers#tbh the racist pig (as in. an actual pig in the venetian fontego in alexandria) is still one of my favourite anecdotes from Fabri.#and the AUs origins were me thinking about how fun Team Egypt as fraudsters were which then spiralled into Team Turkey as#Jerusalem's na'ib and his staff (which works well bc Havva is Assyrian and Dilan is a Kurd so I only had to explain away#Sadık as an Ottoman prisoner of war who became part of the Mameluck military and rose through the ranks)#and Mohammed gets away with a lot of stuff by stroking Sadık's ego and fluttering his lashes but when the na'ib actually tried to#put his foot down Magdy's terrifying aura handled it. Do Not Piss This Senior Citizen Off.#aph#aph egypt
