Slenderman Egypt myths. . .

I decided to do some more research on slenderman and I decided to see if there were any myths that are similar to slenderman besides "Der Größmann". I found a few things that were made a very long time ago..

Lets start with this first one..

Hans Baldung was a Renaissance artist who died in 1545. His most famous painting, Three Ages of Woman and Death, portrays a skeletal figure holding an hour glass. In 2003, when undergoing x-ray analysis for insurance reasons, it was discovered that the painting was altered early on to remove several extra limbs of the skeletal figure that were originally painted into the picture.

Renowned German woodcutter Hans Freckenberg created at least two woodcuts featuring a character

He was described as Der Ritter (The Knight) during the mid-sixteenth century that were discovered in Halstberg Castle in 1883. Whilst Freckenberg was well-known for his realistic depiction of human anatomy - something that was unusual among woodcuts of the time - these pictures featured a skeletal, multi-limbed character. Historians are unsure of the exact symbolic nature of the character, with some claiming that it is a personification of the religious wars that raged in Europe at the time, while others say it represents the mysterious plagues that have been believed to be the reason for the mysterious abandoning of the Hastlberg Castle and the nearby village in 1543.

However, many insist that Freckenberg was attempting to represent "Der Großmann" (the Tall Man). According to the legend, he was a fairy who lived in the Black Forest. Bad children who crept into the woods at night would be relentlessly chased by Der Großmann, who wouldn't leave them until he either caught them or they were forced to tell their parents of their wrongdoing. Even then, there is a chilling account from an old journal, dating from about 1702:

"My child, my Lars… he is gone. Taken, from his bed. The only thing that we found was a scrap of black clothing. It feels like cotton, but it is softer… thicker. Lars came into my bedroom yesterday, screaming at the top of his lungs that "The angel is outside!" I asked him what he was talking about, and he told me some nonsense fairy story about Der Großmann. He said he went into the groves by our village and found one of my cows dead, hanging from a tree. I thought nothing of it at first… but now, he is gone. We must find Lars, and my family must leave before we are killed. I am sorry, my son… I should have listened. May God forgive me."

The next known possible reference to the Slender Man comes from around 3100 BC in lower Egypt, with references to the "Thief of the Gods" or the "Thief of Kuk" becoming common place during the reign of Pharaoh Wazner. Hieroglyphic carvings representing the Thief were found in the pharaoh's tomb, who was rumored to have had some kind of encounter with the entity. The carvings resemble a strange figure with multiple upper limbs, one that has never been found in any other hieroglyph language.

People say that some people still draw him or Graffiti that tall man, on walls in abandoned buildings, houses ect.

What I'm about to say is a little out of context but, I have gotten a little better..? (I think..)

Not sure, if it was the medicine or the fact that I apologized to slenderman..

I mean last night, I wasn't coughing as much, I have gotten a little better but, sometimes i start to cough rapidly for no reason.. my throat doesn't hurt anymore which is good, but my nose is stuffy.. I don't have a fever.. not sure if I have a cold. But, all I know is that I'm slowly getting better.. whenever I drink medicine, I have the urge to spit it out or throw up but, I force myself to swallow it.. (if I keep doing that I might throw up-💀)

But, dw I'm getting better... Very slowly.
