Mekal (or Mekar), the lord of Beth-Shean

I strongly hold that the Baal Cycle is not "Canaanite mythology." The Ugarites themselves identified Canaanites as "foreign people," and Mot, in particular, is strongly suspected to be a literary invention of Ilumilku, the scribe who wrote the Baal Cycle. To subsume the myths under the vague title of 'Canaanite mythology' is a disservice to Ugarit and its creativity, in my opinion.

So that naturally brought a question to mind: are there any Bronze Age deities who are distinctly Canaanite?

Enter Mekal/Mekar. A Fresh Look at the Mekal Stele (Levy 2018) introduces us to a deity who was attested in northern Palestine during the Bronze Age.

(Levy 2018: 361)

That "r" at the end of his name can be either an "r" or a Semitic "l", hence the Mekal/Mekar options for his name. And he's attested as the lord of Beth-Shean (or Bit-Shani, if you fancy the syllabic Akkadian transcription). How cool is that?

Some thoughts about this deity: his iconography is closely aligned with Baal's known iconography from the time period (which should make one wonder if there isn't some possible synchronization afoot, as if Seth-Baal wasn't strong enough evidence, lol), with one caveat: he has Resheph's headband. So some differences!

What I draw from that is Mekal/Mekar is a Baal-like deity but with some differences. In the Pantheon universe, thus, Mekal is primarily a vegetation god with some rain-bringing abilities, not a storm god proper. He doesn't have the weather manipulation capability that Baal does, but he's good at making flowers and helping agriculture grow!

Given the strong Egyptian influence here, Mekal strikes me as the type who really likes lotuses, too. Maybe he really looks forward to the few visits that Nefertem makes in the foreign northern lands? Well, assuming Sekhmet's willing to let him out...

Anyway, Beth-Shean is a major Egyptian administrative center in the Late Bronze Age, so Sutekh likely stops in Beth-Shean often before continuing onward to Gubla (Byblos), another Egyptian holding. Mekal, with his minimal attestation, seems like a very young god (and it's suspicious that he's not attested afterward). Perhaps he was educated in Kemet as a godling and then brought back to Beth-Shean to rule it, as the Egyptians were known for doing with foreign princes. Couldn't get him to get rid of the beard, though. Some cultural influences refuse to die.

🔊About Mekal:

"My pride and joy in simple term. Mekal is my partner, my first ever creation that I have made with Aarush and someone that has went through everything with me. Before it became public knowledge, nobody knew Mekal was posing as my body double, his flexibility to change forms made it easy for him to do a quick escape if he ever get caught while directing the Gardes' attention away from me. Ever since our time at the Fortress begins however, Mekal has taken an interest in being a butler, there's nothing wrong with it per se but he won't stop calling me "Young Master" no matter how many time I told him it's not necessary, maybe I should stop getting him those self-help butler books..."

MEKAL REDESIGN RAWRRRRRR

im so happy to finally be able to redesign him after monthsss, he's finally updated....

Now, who's Mekal ?

Mekal is Niko's partner in simple term, he is Niko's first invention he has ever made even before he can call himself an inventor and has stick with him ever since then. Mekal acted as Niko's body double when he was the Araignée Noire and due to Mekal's physique, people never suspected it was Niko, who was a malnourished teenager, back then. Mekal has a very keen interest in butler culture and being a butler in general, at first glance it could be seen as Mekal wanting to find himself as an individual after being arrested but in actuality Mekal has a passion for helping people, he wanted to serve and lend a hand to everyone, deep inside, he's afraid of being cast aside, afraid that he won't be able to meet anyone's need and that they will forget him...

"please let me help you"

Mekal but human !! a semi redraw of an old drawing below !

[marshmallowprotection]

If anything happened at mint eye I’d carry Saeran out bridal-style myself

You just want nice things for Saeran Choi, and, really, who could blame for you? You might have to carry him along the way. You can do a lot of things on adrenaline but even Saeran has a wall that he's going to hit sooner or later. He doesn't want to worry you and that's why he keeps pushing himself on Day 10. But, God knows he needs some nap time and cuddles.

[ruinerofcheese]

I haven't figured out yet whether Sam is blissfully unaware of the monster behind him, or if Higgs gave him a pet to keep him company on his travels...

I love seeing how artwork comes together from 'simple' lines (which is infinitely better than anything I can draw) to a colourised beautiful finished picture. (Which is beyond my wildest dreams)

Thanks for arting so good.😜🥰

Death Stranding

The quote in the graphic holds true for all of us. We shouldn’t be limited to what we do or what we’ve done. We all have other talents and skills that we haven’t fully developed. I’ve gone on record to say I’m not just a graphic designer. I have plenty of other talents, but I use graphic design as a tool to open other doors. The same holds true for whatever it is you do. You’re not just a doctor, a lawyer, a cop, a cashier, a business owner, a pastor, a blogger etc. You have other interests, skills, talents and ambitions. It’s best to just be you and do you. .
