Another series resurrected? Top kek.
*
In ancient Egyptian cosmology, before time began there an endless sea of chaos. Eight deities (4 frogs gods and 4 snake goddesses) ruled the dark watery depths. These were called the Ogdoad. And among them was Kek (also called Kuk or Keku). Kek's name literally means 'darkness,' fitting considering his position as a god of darkness. Despite his association with the primordial abyss, Kek was also considered a dawn-bringer deity (darkest before the dawn and all that).
Despite the rather obscure nature of this deity, modern interest and interpretations have sprung up in recent years. Such as the alt-right's "Cult of Kek" (these guys just gotta ruin everything, don't they?).
This renewed interest may be in part due to homonymy between the god's name and the internet slang 'kek' (an equivalent of 'lol'). (Interestingly enough, 'kekeke' is also used as a stand-in for laughter in Korean-language chats. In Japanese, it evokes a sinister laugh)
