Talk:Renenutet

Disputed content

Uh, this article has problems. With no sources cited whatsoever, I cannot accept the claims about the mystical name-giving personification of childbirth philosophy. Richard H. Wilkinson's Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt says she is a goddess of harvest and agriculture and that her name means "snake who nourishes." He mentions nothing whatsoever about her giving names, and her only connection to childbirth according to him is from being a nurse to children, later identified with Meskhenet and eventually with Shait during the Late Period. This thing about names looks like some non-expert's total speculation based on a speculative but incorrect etymology. 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:04, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

And this is a less serious problem, but how is a snake-shaped deity "anthropomorphic" anyway? Seriously. 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:08, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore, how can the author of this article claim that all Egyptian snake gods were female because Egyptians thought all snakes are female, and then one paragraph later mention Renenutet's son, the male snake god Neheb-kau? The ancient Egyptians believed in multiple male snake gods: including Neheb-kau, Mehen, Wamemty, and especially Apep/Apophis (you'd think anyone familiar with Egyptian myth would have heard of him!). 209.162.56.97 (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the points you make, the article is poorly written, inaccurate and misleading, why don't you change it?Apepch7 (talk) 20:41, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
