SPOILER ALERT ——> If you haven’t watched Moon Knight episode 4, we recommend you stop reading…
So, now that little by little we have been getting to know more of a variety of characters and gods within the series, the episode 4which for many even its creators has been one of the best so far, ends when a new character is released, an apparently friendly deity in the form of Hippopotamus and that belongs to the long list of gods within Egyptian beliefs.
Now, there are several Egyptian deities, who use the hippopotamus in their design, but the one that seems most applicable to what happens in Moon Knight it is Taweretbest known for its translation Tauretwhich in the series, is being starred by the actress Antonia Salibwho lends his voice to the sympathetic Hippopotamus who arrives waving and has left us all, for a change, with many more questions than answers.
Moon Knightshows us this new deity, which in the religious tradition of the Ancient Egypt, Tauretis known as the Egyptian goddess of childbirth, fertility and rejuvenation, so this would imply a lot of extra complexity to the plot, since her legends and the role of the hippopotamus goddess in Egyptian culture could bring a lot of confusion to the series .
In short, according to Egyptian mythology, Tauret, suggests everything, since from it came the force behind the flooding of the Nile River, which is an important part of the ecological cycle of Egypt, as well as the conservation of life in a desert environment, then, among its gifts, we could say that there is the rejuvenation and to some extent the resurrection of the dead, cleaning and purifying the souls so that they can pass to the afterlife. Besides, Tauret she is also seen as a fierce caretaker and protector, which makes her a difficult goddess to deal with, so this could complicate things, both can be beneficial for Steven Y Markas his final conviction in the series.
