Ancient Story Marketing

Story Marketing existed in Ancient Egypt as it does today in USA.

Count the number of Idols, Mummy cases, Statues, Amulets, etc. found in Ancient Egyptian tombs related to the Stories about Osiris and other Egyptian Gods. Now count the number of Modern toys or models or action figures, computer games, posters, etc. from Modern Films or Stories. Marketing helps spread the messages contained in the stories, usually aimed towards children. Christians marketed the NT/Bible with statues of Mary, stained-glass windows, coins bearing the "image" of Christ, and the calendar dating system / Weekend, and frequent references to future events in relation to Biblical Prophecies. Science Fiction films market stories to adults and children; adult costumes, collector's items, comic books/graphic novels, images on products related to the films, etc. exist for that purpose. Religious characters can also "talk to people" to market the stories. In Ancient Egypt "Priests" wore costumes of the Gods in ceremonies related to the stories, in a form of Dramatic Theater in the Temples. Priests of Anubis wore a mask of the Jackal god and held the Mummy in funeral drama performances. Egyptian "funerals" were Dramatic Performances with Priests as their actors in the Temples; the Lector Priest (Kheri-hebs) were the Play's director and narrator. This idea later spread to Ancient Greece.

Welcome to my blog.

I am an Author, Archaeologist (B.A. in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, '99), Egyptian Afterlife Priest (Kheri-Heb) & a Pharaoh of Duat, visual artist, Micronationalist, and computer game modifier. I have written over 137+ books so far. My books are my paper monuments. I hope you enjoy them. I also made computer game "Mods"(over 300) for the computer game, The Elder Scrolls-V: Skyrim, on Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods (2012-2021), some with multiple star ratings.

I believe in reincarnation to comprehend future actions as based on past life actions, and direction in one's life. I believe my past life visits to Egypt influence and inspire me with their culture. My first publisher (1992) was a Psychologist at CSU Hayward/East Bay in California; she believed my fictional first novel was about real information, as did the US Government and NSA/CIA. When she published it she sold some $50M in as yet unpaid royalties, and when I alerted the Govt. about this, they confiscated it from her and paid me nothing, then asked a terror group (AQ) if "any American knew of their plans for global conquest" and started harassing Iran about their "Nuclear weapons" issues (Chapter 20-21). I researched Ancient Egypt prior to writing Eye of the Pharaoh (c.1990, 1995), I had read about 12 non-fiction books for that project. Content appears in the film, The Mummy Returns. The publisher died in 2020 from brain Cancer.

I self-publish now because I cannot trust people, plus I can control the books better with regard to design, availability and royalties. Follow me on Twitter: @HorusMichaelM7.
