Does Annabeth admire the Gizza pyramids? Hope so, because Egyptian and Greek mythology might clash in this series!
(BTW, I'll make sure I blurr out names who aren't 与えられた on the resume and not give out important pieces of info, I'll do my best to make this 記事 spoil-free)
Rick's new series "The Kane Cronicles" is about brother and sister, Carter and Sadie Kane, who discover that the Egyptian gods are still walking around in the 21rst century. Sounds familiar? To me it did. For a moment または so I went uh-no. It sounded way too deja vue to me. I didn`t want a 秒 Percy Jackson. Turns out Rick did a good job of making Percy and the Kanes two very different things.
For those of あなた who have read the first book, The Red Pyramid, あなた might've noticed little clues and traces of PJ. Followed によって the 記事 who`s link I`ve included, my nerves aren't right anymore!
Will the two worlds clash? Will it be Greek vs Egyptian? Carter vs Jason? Sadie vs Piper? Gods I hope not! But I'll explain why I'm panicking.
a) "Manhattan has other problems. Other gods. It's best we stay seperate."
Might as well have said, "and never, ever go to long island". For those of あなた who don't have a clear knowledge of New York, there's a building in Manhattan that has 600 floors and monster issues. I'm talking about the empire state building. Unless the palace of the Egyptian gods is on the Empire state building (which I don't recall it is), Rick is reffering to our Mediterenian friends.
b)In this little part, they are meeting the god of knowledge and wisdom Thoth.
"The Greeks called me Thoth. Then later they confused me with their god Hermes. Even had the nerve to rename my sacred city Hermopolis, thought we're nothing alike. Believe me, if you've ever met Hermes-"
What does this part tell us (after the crash course in Thoth's name)? Apart from the fact Hermopolis was Thoth's sacred city.
Thoth has met Hermes.
Meaning Hermes and Thoth both exist in the same world were there are Greek and Egyptian gods that will probably not get along and try to take control over one-another.
c) Here is an article, where Rick says that MAYBE they`ll be a showdown between mythologies. The 記事 is called: "The World of Percy Jackson Lives on in the ロスト Hero" によって Dave Itzkoff. Here is the part that has evidence in it, the rest of the link is there.

`In the meantime, he 発言しました he plans to write one book in each of his ongoing literary franchises every six months – a “Kane Chronicles” novel in the spring, a “Heroes of Olympus” novel in the fall – with the very, very distant possibility that the two series could some 日 クロス over.
“I’ve certainly structured it with the suggestion that the worlds exist side-by-side,” Mr. Riordan said.
He added: “Maybe one of these days, way down the line, we’ll have the ultimate smackdown between the Greeks and the Egyptians. That’s a ways off."
D) I panicked when I saw this.
Jason has a ゴールド sword. Newsflash, I know.
After googling "gold sword", little old me stumbled upon a picture, that I will soon upload. The caption under it, あなた ask? "Egyptian ゴールド sword".
So little old me clicks on the Egyptian-gold-sword, and it turns out its a リスペクト from a movie called "The Mummy returns" Maybe its not historically correct. But the Egyptians might've used a sword like that.
Egyptian isn't the only other Big-time mythology on the block. They built the colleseum, invented gladiator fights, ceasar サラダ (okay maybe not) and their army was the world bully: あなた guessed it: the Romans.
Let's get the facts strait: the romans "borrowed" the big religions of their time and created their own. So the Greek gods are in there. We've got some conenction. But the problem is, Jupiter is Zeus, Neptune is Poseidon and Pluto is Hades. Unless new gods were created from the Roman beliefs, the roman gods are just a disfiguration of the Greek gods. And Chiron did once say the gods existed in different places, under different names, and he does mention Rome during it. I still think the Roman gods are just the Greek ones (yes, closed-minded me), but here's what all the buzz is about.
A) We mostly believe that Roman gods might be in it because Jason uses Roman terms rather then Greek, like "Faun" rather then "satyr", while the 秒 is a little もっと見る common (at least from what I understand). Here's why I think he knows that...
1) Remember how the only way Percy slayed the Minotaur was because hsi mom explaiend its weaknesses? Why wouldn't Ms Jason's-mom tell him about the Roman myths? He wouldn't figure out he's related to Boreas, because he'd know him as Aquilo (I think), but in case of an emergency, he'd know the myths about it.
2) Whoever erased his memoy mildly cared about him, so for the same reason as above, left him the knowledge of the mtyhs, excpet tweaked names and details so he would not recognise himself as a demigod.
B) Remember Last Olympian? I'll explain: Percy is going to the Demigod/huntress HQ. He accidently calls one of the statues "Demeter". Turns out, not Demeter, and Pomona, as we learn, doesn't like it.
Why would Daedalus plant an annimatron of a goddess that isn't real and doesn't exist in NYC? Why would he waste his time building her? Statues were often a form of worshipement. Daedalus worshiped Athena, his mother, and other Greek gods, not Pomona (who is the goddess of plenty btw). And it also turns out, Pomona doesn'thave a Greek counterpart.
Maybe, just maybe, Daedalus wanted to build a goddess, but since the statues were under his service not one of his Greek goddesses, just to be on the 安全, 安全です side. But then one may ask, why not Minerva (Athena)?
Back to Egyptian...
But there is evidence against that!
a) Rick has 発言しました in an interview that Egyptian and Greek mythology wont clash, in ロスト Hero anyways, which means the mistress is definetly Greek.
b) Rick knew the story of The ヒーローズ of Olympus when he was writting Percy Jackson, therefore, before the Kane chronicles were published and before Egyptian mythology popped up in his head. So unless he changed the series from its original plot, there is no inclusion of Egyptian mythology.
c) All the clues I picked up are from The Red Pyramid. Maybe it was just Rick`s way of saying he wasn`t totally giving up on Greek mythology, thought I highly doubt they were there for no reason.
d) There has been some talk about Roman mythology getting mixed in the book. I don`t like this idea, but I rather Roman and Greek, then Greek and Egyptian, because of the similiraties of the myths and gods. But seeing as it is 発言しました that the Roman gods were just the Greek gods under different names (book 1), I don`t see it happening. And theoreticly あなた wouldn`t mix 3 mythologies. 2, maybe, 3... Nuh-uh (but 3 is a sacred number right? 3 furies, 3 fates, 3 Kronos-sons, ect). I know it`s a weak going-on pathetic piece of evidence, but I`m still going to put it in here.
Now why do I dislike this idea?
I like Sadie and Carter, and I like Percy and Annabeth, probably as much as I`ll like Jason, Leo and Piper. I have a お気に入り series and a お気に入り character, but I don`t want one to get his/her butt kicked. I have my favorite, but I don`t want to have to have one openly declared better then the other.
I could see why Rick would do it, action, a wicked war, and an incredible last-book (probably), but I don`t like the idea.
So what do あなた think? Should Annabeth look up the Gizza pyramids?

I have a book about Greek Mythology. It talks about ヒーローズ and monster and of course the gods. But I notice one story was similar to Frank Zhang.
I'm going to summarize it for you.
A women name Althaea, daughter of King Thestius and Eurythemis.Althaea had five sons, but one named Meleager was cursed when he was a baby. The Fates visited Althaea and told her that the wood in the hearth is her son Meleager's life span. After the Fates leaved, Althaea took the wooded from the hearth and placed it in a wooden chest.
After many years have past, Meleager killed his two brothers in an argument. So Althaea took the wood of her son life span and placed it in the fire. Then, Meleager died.
But, it has also 発言しました Meleager was mention as one of the Argonauts like Frank.
Differences:
In RR story, it was Hera that warned them.
Second, Frank mother is not going to kill him.
Frank might die in the Giant War.
