Just an interesting tidbit

Seth's hair actually came up very briefly in my studies. Seth was genuinely said in myth to have red "hair" ("" bc Seth had an animal head, so more fur lol), and it has been proven in recent years that there were people in ANCIENT EGYPT who had red hair, which was seen as a marking of Seth. One of the most famous and powerful pharaoh's Ramesses II had red hair, which for years scholars thought was due to a dyeing process or tradition (ie during mummification), but recent studies has proven that was in fact his natural hair colour.

I just thought it was interesting to note, because I always liked the touch of making Seth a red head, and I'm pretty sure it was an intentional reference to how he's depicted in myth.
