The living story
The story so far
The mounds at Djeme, in western Thebes, where the Eight were buried after they finished making the world. Retired gods, still on duty: the priests say the buried Eight push the Nile up every year and push the sun up every morning. Death was a promotion.
Happening now
The priests at Djeme bring offerings to the mounds and read the nilometer like a pulse, checking that the dead gods are still doing their jobs.
What may come
So long as the river rises, the Eight are still working. The river has never once failed to rise.

Why someone keeps The Djeme Tombs
- because retired gods still push the Nile up every year — rest isn't the same as done
- because death was a promotion, and that's the best possible news
- because the Eight finished making the world and kept working anyway
The Ogdoad
Four bonded frog-and-serpent pairs who are the conditions before creation — water, infinity, darkness, hiddenness — retired and buried at Djeme, still raising the Nile.
