The purpose of this project is to outline the history of the ancient Egyptian deity Kek as it travels through time and witnesses the evolution of society. Pepe the Frog and the arguably more controversial “Cult of Kek” has certainly found their way into our modern-day political discourse. However, beyond frivolous memes on the internet and petty exchanges on chats, Kek was rather venerated as a god in ancient Egyptian mythology. In fact, Kek (or Kekui) was considered one of the ‘members’ of the very ancient Ogdoad – a group of eight primordial deities worshiped at Hermapolis during the Old Kingdom period (circa 2700–2200 BC).
Join the Cult of Kek, the first religion born from 4chan, based around the worship of the ancient Egyptian deity Kek (also spelled Kuk or Keku), an androgynous God of darkness and chaos who is often depicted as a frog or frog-headed man in male form or a snake-headed woman in female form.
