Aha! Thank you for the information on Atum! That actually makes a lot more sense than his connection to Aten.
The part that my friend and I are quite puzzled by is the ruling date on Priest Seto’s profile. It says circa 1000 BC, which puts him during the 21st Dynasty, which would put him around Amenemope’s reign. But, with the names Akhenaten and Aknamkanon, you would think it would be closer to the 18th Dynasty since that’s when they ruled.
But, what do we know trying to make sense of Atem’s reign! XP But, I do like the idea of the Creation god being the inspiration for his name. Rather befitting a king who ended the destruction of his world.
Historian friend agrees about the whole Atum thing. XD Egypt is not my specialty, but the whole 1000 B.C.E thing is a bit confusing because I thought it was mentioned somewhere in the manga or anime that Atem ruled in the 18th Dynasty, but Seto’s rule is in the middle of the 21st if the date is correct…but good on you for catching my mistake. 🙂
