* [[Abdicate the Throne]]: {{spoiler|At the end, in favor of Ptraci.}}
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Like the real Egypt, Djelibeybi has several different gods for the same thing (in the real world, due to Egypt assimilating Greek, Hittite, etcSea Poeples, and other nations' gods alongside their original ones). So this means that they all fight for who gets the job of moving the sun around, with a nearby priest acting as a sports commentator to describe it.
** Subverted when Teppic's father meets [[Grim Reaper|Death]], and is confused because he does not look like a giant scarab. Apparently, Death ''used'' to look like whatever people expected the personification of death to look like, until it became too tiresome and he decided to settle for the "[[Dem Bones|skeleton with a scythe]]" look.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The Tsortean delegation is stated to be mimicingmimicking Djeli culture imperfectly; in particular, their clothing is based on clothing from multiple different eras of Djeli history. A footnote explains that it's comparable to an ambassador to the UK wearing "a bowler hat, a claymore, a Civil War breastplate, Saxon trousers, and a Jacobean haircut".
* [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex]]: It features on a tattoo that defies biological facts. (An in-story example; [[Take Our Word for It|all we are told about the tattoo is that it defies said facts.]])
* [[Ancient Egypt]]: Djelibeybi is a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] of this, turned [[Up to Eleven]].
