"Consider this, in times of old, priests were often the most educated in society. While many modern intellectuals often discredit religion based on their experience with modern clergy, the religious class were often scientist themselves.
Take the druids and gutuaters of ancient Briton for example. While our modern perception of them were of long-bearded wizards who live in the woods and worship trees, that is a misconception. Druids performed many civic and scientific duties, and were often accomplished engineers and mathematicians as well. For a more contemporary example, take the father of genetics, Gregor Mendel.
Going back to your original question on necromancy, that is nothing so crude as you would imagine it. The priests of ancient Egypt were no different from what I have mentioned before. 'Necromancy' as you call it, has been distorted to giving the perception of a cackling monster leading an army of zombies. That is not its true origin, which was of interpreting the will and knowledge of the dead. Necromancy, at its root, another science to better appreciate and understand the world. As your engineering allows you to structure this world to your liking, necromancy does with that realm beyond the dark river."
Is what your Anubis GF would say.
