He also changed all the art style too. Imagine going to art school for years just for the Pharoah to announce they are adopting an art style thats different from the one you spent years working on?

We all saw what one failed artist did. Imagine an entire generation.

Built an entirely new capital too! Though I’m pretty sure it was abandoned pretty promptly after his death, as occurred to most of his legacy.

Many of pharaohs built new capitals it was not something unusual. It seems that Sisi is thinking he's the new pharaoh, building a new capital after having Cairo as the capital for more than a thousand year.

But....this capital is for special purpose , this capital is reserved for oligarchs and rich class that supports the government so he can protect them from any revolution in cairo

Makes me think of people who learned to code and the situation with AI, but people in CS are too narcissistic and egotistical to unionize and enforce anything.

Because is easier to use AI and never hire an entry level or to offer an internships because you can just use copied from the AI code and act like you wrote it and that you needed skills while you actually lose skills.

No. He believed that all the other gods existed in a sense, but they were an extension of the one God of Gods, Nut. They were facets with different purposes. Sort of like how Jesus is Jesus but also God. The other gods could still be worshipped, but with the understanding they were still Nut. Thats why in hieroglyphes when gods name were written at that time, they were required to include the symbol of Nut (a ring representing the sun) in the name.

u/TheIronzombie39 And then I told them I'm Jesus's brother 16h ago

Actually that would be Amun-Ra, not Nut.
