Um.. something is terribly wrong in this article...it needs to be wikified! JD
Actually, Alt-Right morons are trying to co-opt Kek now as they have with much of pop culture. Thus tainting this old Egyptian deity with their racist, idiotic nonsense. Sadly this means that the pop culture reference has to stay... - The Mummy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.90.0.56 ( talk) 12:43, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

kuk is male organ for penis in swedish and norwegian....noting else
Cucu is also one of the Romanian terms for penis, possibly a common Getic? origin see also
Oium. hgjryhgjhg is an ancient Egyptian term for a
phallus.
Gabrieli (

Tzolk'in as representing darkness, night, early dawn.
Gabrieli (

Kukeri. The frog and snake theme appears on traditional Romanian wedding jugs, with the frog appropriately sitting partly below and partly on the prominent spout.

Kokopelli is a fertility deity venerated by Native American cultures of the south westerns states of the United States of America that is often depicted with a huge phallus, and is often depicted together with rams, deer, snakes, lizards and insects.

Thanks for your feedback CJLL. To split hairs, not equivalence, but a ~ , was described. Although I found the similarity match of concepts represented interesting, I concede the curly question of Ak'b'al can't properly fit this topic category. A k'uk in the hand is worth two in the bush :) But seriously, thanks, now I 'see' the lexical relationship of k'uk as in Kukulkan the 'feathered' serpent, sometimes depicted in human form with a bird on its/his back. S. Goddard Foxe does have a doctorate, however unless someone knows whether it is in a domain related to this topic, I suppose she won't be accepted as an appropriate source here. Upon further reflection, the thematic link of snakes represented in Ogdoadic deities such as Kukut/Keket compared with deities of the Pre-Columbian Americas such as Kokopelli or Kukumatz/Kukulkan for that matter is not appropriate here. Kokopelli (and Kuker too), as phallic deities I consider are appropriate as informative asides with regards to the first posts in this 'split' proposal regarding kuk as being the term in some languages for penis. Gabrieli ( talk) 09:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Kuk seems inexplicably similar to Huh in most details, down to the female snaky form named Kauket (compare Hauhet). Why is this? Are they the same? 98.65.164.88 ( talk) 20:51, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

4chan's /x/ and /pol/ boards are starting a modern revival of Kuk worship and occult practice in connection with their belief that he can be used as a doomsday god to bring about a refreshing end to the world. I would advise locking this article until these boards stop concerning themselves with this deity in order to prevent the inevitable vandalism that could come of this. 172.56.10.68 ( talk) 06:07, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Too little cited articles published, way too early. The only paper I found to at least briefly discuss the worship of Kek in a context of projecting ones memes into reality was this: Hine, Gabriel.

Kuk (mythology) →
Kek (mythology) – Per
WP:COMMONNAME, 'Kek' is more popular than 'Kuk'. Per
WP:TITLE, a natural disambiguation is preferable to a parenthetical if a suitable alternative is found. There is no present Wikipedia article with the title 'Kek'.
Google searches on the two terms:
"Kek" ("Mythology" OR God) gets "About 699,000 results" while
"Kuk" ("Mythology" OR God) gets "About 410,000 results".
Sources that put a preference for 'Kek' over 'Kuk' include all the sources currently mentioned within the article itself: [1] [2] [3]
This satisfies WP:RELIABLE. -- Donenne ( talk) 13:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk, contribs) 18:42, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Guys, this is supposed to be an Egyptological entry. I do not dispute the notability of this thing at all, but this is not the article about it. I respect the relevance of pop culture and internet entries, but please don't let it spill over into carefully researched pages on specific, unrelated fields of scholarship. Also please respect that " WP:SCOPE is not commutative", i.e. "A is relevant to B" does not predicate "B is relevant to A". Use Kek (Internet meme), which is a redirect at present, and if you want to develop coverage on this, do it there. -- dab (𒁳) 17:36, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Should this article mention the recent "Internet cult" of Kek? Some editors have added a section about a 21st-century "cult of Kek" originated on 4chan. Some other editors have removed it as irrelevant to the subject matter of Ancient Egyptian deities. As a slow-moving edit war is brewing, a formal RfC is in order. — JFG talk 10:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
There's a lot more to add - one example: the coincidence that in popular culture (also among 4chan), "kek" is a euphemism for laughter, though this isn't directly related to the Egyptian God. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SixMillionStrong ( talk • contribs) 13:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
