If Thor had a day, which day do you think it would be? If you said Thursday, you’d be correct. You don’t need to travel there to see the influence he’s had on modern day. There are towns and cities named after Thor found in Scandinavia. Thor is still celebrated today and can be found throughout Scandinavia. All we know from the films is that Thor is the only one who is able to wield the weapon, but its story has a tale that rivals some of the gods. In every film, Thor has his magic hammer, Mjolnir. Loki is portrayed exceptionally as a trickster and double dealer, as he is often seen helping both sides for personal gain. But, if he does, I’d bet that it’s going to be to Natalie Portman and not Sif. Perhaps he’ll get married in the third film. In mythology, she is Thor’s wife, who is the goddess of Earth. However, Thor’s fourth companion, Sif, is found in mythology. The other companions of Thor, the Warriors Three, are not found in mythology and are purely an idea from Marvel. According to myth, Odin is his father, Loki his brother and Frigg (a) his mother. Thor’s immediate lineage in the film is directly pulled from Nordic mythology. These blockbuster films can be a great way to get kids to learn a little more about the origins of Thor, beyond the films and comics. The movies are based on the Marvel comics, which in turn are based on Nordic mythology. This hero, based on the God of Thunder, has a history that predates his counterparts – a genetically modified scientist and an iron-clad billionaire – by several hundred years. This god-turned-avenger has found fame recently with the success of the Marvel films. The Mummy is an action movie and, while not historically accurate, can still be a great film to get movie-goers interested in Ancient Egypt. However, in the film she is married to Seti I, another pharaoh that ruled after Ankeshesenmun. It is believed she was married to the famous King Tut. She was a queen of Egypt in around 1300 B.C. Her real life history is much less dramatic, but no less amazing. She is portrayed as a weapon-wielding femme fatale. Imhotep was known as “ the one who comes in peace.” He is not portrayed well in the film, but was most likely used because of his popularity.Īnkehesenamun is the other main Egyptian character in the film. The real Imhotep would more likely have raised the dead to make an immortal volunteer group. Imhotep in the film is the main antagonist, trying to raise his lover, Ankehesnamun, and wreaking havoc on the world in the process. The Egyptian characters portrayed in the film all existed in real life! Timelines were altered, however, because these royal Egyptians were not alive at the same time. However, these bugs were revered by the Egyptians, who believed that the sun rolled across the sky in a similar way to how the beetles rolled their dung. These were just CGI-enhanced dung beetles. Don’t worry, man-eating scarabs do not exist. Anyone who is afraid of bugs may still have nightmares about the scarabs in this film. The book was not a gold-plated book used to bring people back to life, but a group of texts thousands of years old with spells that were meant to guide the dead to the afterlife. The Egyptians believed in the afterlife and actually used a Book of the Dead. As far-fetched as it may sound, many believed in the curse in the 1920s, when King Tut’s tomb was opened. The film bases its plot on opening one of these chambers, which is cursed. The portrayals of the sets and burial chambers also accurately show what they may have looked like. The filmmakers traveled to actual locations and filmed on Egyptian landscapes, featuring Thebes, Egypt and Morocco. The film beautifully showcases modern and Ancient Egypt. However the story includes seeds of truth that if delved into can provide a fruitful yearning for Egyptian history. The afterlife, magical stone tablets, resurrection and destruction are all staples for this film featuring Ancient Egyptians while these are appealing to the audience, it’s safe to say these are myths and legends.
