Unas, was also called Unas, Slayer of the Gods. People claimed that he devoured gods to gain their powers.

I have rejigged this page a bit - might delete the 5300BC references, as this seems a bit wild - anyone got a reference for this ? 08:40, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

- There was a bout of vandalism not so long ago, and someone added the text verbatim from this source (scroll to the bottom of the page): http://www.musicsonglyrics.com/N/nilelyrics/nileunasslayerofthegodslyrics.htm. This is from doing a Google search on a few words from the submitted "article". It appears to be some explanitory text for what I assume is a heavy metal rock band song. The information, as far as I can tell, is not incorrect, thought the 5300BC statement is definitely extreme, as are some of the comments with regard to the "magick" of the hieroglyphic text found on Unas' walls. Since the text is basically a cut and paste from another site, it should either be wholly removed for reasons of copyright infringement, or heavily re-written/edited (preferably with attributions) to make it fit.

- - Yes, most of this was stolen from the explanation to the song "Unas, Slayer of the Gods" by the South Carolina death metal band, Nile. Karl Sanders, one of the guitarists, vocalists, and the main lyric writer is well-versed in Egyptology, though he has no official degree. Personally I would trust most of his information, but for the sake of wikipedia, the article needs a more authoritative source than a heavy metal musician with a hobby in Egyptology. Plus it is plagiarism from the booklet of Nile album In Their Darkened Shrines

- I have moved the section on the pyramid complex to its own article (and removed reference to 5300BC as this seems to be erroneous). I will tify up the new article, as it seems to be rather breathless in style. Markh 15:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
