So bear with me here, I have an explaination, but I think the endgame villian may be Set or someone else from Egyptian Mythology. Here's my reasoning: the oldest event we have seen on the show is Merlin getting his power, which is said to be 1000 years before the age of Arthur. He appears to be a slave who is escaping in a desert area, and praises the gods before he drinks. The setting makes much more sense if Merlin was a slave to the FTL equivilant of the Egyptians, and was thus talking to the Egyptian gods. Now I know the Greek gods are already a part of the show (and probably going to be a bigger part of the show soon), but I think they are more contemperary, and not quite as ancient as the Egyptian gods will be. I have one more thing that supports this. The creator of the dark curse is still unknown, but one of the things used to guard it were "blood scarabs". Scarab beetles are a very important symbol to the Ancient Egyptians, and I suspect the creator of the dark curse could be one of the Egyptian gods, as the beetles alude to. So thoughts?
