I agree, the point is that Egyptian mythology is one of the more overused in Western media (it comes right after the Greek one). How could this journalist not have realized this?

I know that, and I'm not even saying that I wouldn't like an Egyptian setting. The point of this post was to highlight the exceptionally bad take of the journalist.

Egyptian mythology not overused? Do I live in the same planet as this guy? I'm pretty confident that most of the people reading this could name more Egyptian gods than Norse ones.
