    The study of Egyptian Mythology is the study of the origins of humanity. Scholars estimate the first Egyptian myths came to be somewhere around 3100-2686 B.C, around the same time as the origins of human civilization itself. These myths help historians and anthropologists understand the Egyptians as a people, as through the analysis of the gods and their stories, they shed light on their principles and values. Perhaps the most fascinating part to me about Egyptian Mythology, is that while it existed and was worshipped for over 3,000 years, it remained relatively unchanged throughout that time. One would expect stories being told over multiple millennia to eventually be indistinguishable at the end from what it was in the beginning, but it truly is a testament to the deeply traditional values of the Egyptian people that, while changes were made in the mythos, they weren't as drastic as one would expect. Which makes it even more hilarious when you learn about stories such as Akhenaten's attempt to convert Egypt into a monotheistic civilization through the sole worship of Aten, completely throwing thousands of years of tradition out the window. I hope you enjoy this deep dive and gross simplification of Egyptian Mythology!

    For those wondering why sometimes the gods overlap on domains, it's because Ancient egypt had at least 4 different centers of religion, so for example Thoth was an important god in Memphis, Which had an entire pantheon that didn't include the likelyhood of Ra and his children in such an equal veneration, or if at all.

    Akhenaten was absolutely insane as a ruler. Like yeah, he did build his own capital, but he decided to build it in the middle of the desert, where it was nearly impossible to get supplies or support a population. He wasn't simply someone who had a religious idea, he was literally insane and regularly demanded impossible tasks.

    You didn't mention that Isis and Osiris were twins and fell in love in the womb. Also that when Isis breathed life into Osiris to get it up and play 2 player smash, she wasn't able to totally bringhim back, but their child, Horus, was able to.(The one conceived from that particular fling.) Horus then went to kill Set, but Isis stopped him, because that's her brother/brother-in-law, so Horus cut her head off instead, but then panicked, and tried to save her life. Since ancient Egyptians KNEW the head contains nothing important, Horus just sewed the head of a cow onto her and it was all hunky dory.
    Oh yeah, and Osiris is just a zombie. Like, he was literally brought back from the dead with necromancy, and his green decayed flesh is... kinda his trademark.

      He was called Tot. After all the "h" is just a weird silent thing added in latin alphabet. Since it is a name of the god first Tetha letter got to be capitalized (it's "Tot", not "tot"). So it's capital Tetha, followed by small omega and then followed by small tetha. Actually during various periods of Egyptian history his name was spelled as something like Tehety or even Dyehety but the Greek pronunciation is one of the more recent ones that got into roman empire and persists as the name of the deity we use today.
      For example it still is the spelling used by modern Greeks today. Like you can just look up Greek wikipedia:

      Warning, that's a boys love/yaoi between Set and Horus. Also no, the animal gods aren't furries in the comic (They're humans with animal themed headresses)

    One common thing never mentioned or known is that the jelousy that Set had over Osiris was when Set found out that Osiris was sleeping with Set's wife Nephthys. It is also when Set questioned whether Anubis is even his son due to how long his wife was cheating on him.
    And the reason Set wanted to kill Osiris was not over the jelousy, but because Osiris usurped the role of king of the Gods frim Ra. Set, being extremely loyal to Ra, saw the usurping of the kingship by Osiris as treason. After Osiris died, he usurped another kingship role as he declared himself as king of the afterlife, taking the role and title away from Anubis. Anubis was given the title and role of king of the afterlife when his mother Nephthys, original ruler and queen of the afterlife, gave it to her son when he becamr of age.

    • @kreolado5880
      @kreolado5880 6 месяцев назад +20

      All of these are common misconceptions. The story of the affair between Nephthys und Osiris was written by the greek author Plutarch. It is not egyptian. And Plutarch didn't even claim, that Set killed Osiris specifically for sleeping wirh his wife. In fact, most egyptian sources don't even have Nephthys being the wife of Set in the first place. And the Set-being-loyal-to-Ra-thing is something Rick Riordan (the author of Percy Jackson) made up. In some egyptian sources, Set even attacks Ra before Horus has to save him.

    • @BlueJayYT
      @BlueJayYT  6 месяцев назад +72

      The thing with Egyptian Mythology is that there isn't really one "true" story. In some versions, Osiris slept with Nephthys and gave birth to Anubis, but in other versions, Osiris never slept with Nephthys. In some versions, Set killed Osiris over jealously like I said in the video. Localizations lead to many different versions of these myths, too many to cover in this video, which is why I playfully prefaced the video with that "how can I possibly simplify a religion this massive?" joke in the beginning, because you can't accurately simplify it.

    • @duphasdan
      @duphasdan 6 месяцев назад +2

      @@BlueJayYT The version I heard came from a learning channel like show where it was mentioned that the story of Set vs Horus changed radically after a couple of pharaohs had a war. One had Horus as a patron God since he came from the cult center for Horus at Hierakonpolis. And the other had Set as his parton God and came from his cult center in Ombos. The one that followed Horus won the civil war and rewrote the story to be more black and white instead of grey. When the story was translated later on, the version that was translated was written afterward as that version is more plentiful, due to previous version either being faded away or intentionally destroyed.
      Further demonetization of Set came after Nubia conquered Egypt when it was weak. And then later on when Persia conqured Egypt not long after Egypt achieved their independence from Nubia. Set, being among other things the God of war, chaos, and such, is also the God of foreigners, foreign nations, and diplomacy. The red of his body being the color of foreigners as Egyptians saw all foreigners as having one shade of red or another, like white people looking pink as they fluster under the sun, black people with dark desaturated red, and Greeks having a lite desaturated red olive color. Having had about two centuries of bad luck, Set was seen as evil due to letting things happen so badly.
      Older versions of the story are more grey and varied in what is included. Some don't even include a coffin, but with Osiris being stung by Set as he is in insect form, and then being trampled by Set after he changed into a hippo form. Others have Osiris intact in the coffin, and being found in a tree in the Levant region. Another has Anubis bringing Osiris back to life temporarily and then single handedly taking on 10,000 of Set's troops while Isis does her thing with Osiris. In that version, Anubis is mentioned as being so skilled with the blade that he took the heads of the entire army with one swing.

      @@duphasdan I have read about 20 different academic works dealing with Plutarch's view of Egyptian mythology. Modern historians have a critical view of Plutarch's work because Plutarch misunderstands many concepts of Egyptian mythology. For example, he copies Greek myths one-to-one and simply inserts Egyptian gods instead of their greek counterparts. The reason why Plutarch's works are so widespread is because historians of the last century have given more credence and attention to European sources like Plutarch than to Egyptian ones. If you claim that your aspects of the myth are part of egyptian mytology, then cite your sources

    I also was a kid who was into mythology, especially ancient egyptian.
    As a kid i saw them as fascinating fictional stories and took them literal, but a few decades later now, after studying them & their complex symbology, i see the timeless value and historic accounts of our distant past (meaning, previous human civilizations) wrapped in colorful stories.
    Like all mythology, they aren't just stories and they surely aren't fictional, that's the superficial impression that they give, they are full of meaning and symbolism. You need to understand the symbolism first (like learning how to read before text/words/books start to make sense), then you'll get the meaning of mythology. Mythology has mankind's history encoded in it, bits and pieces of an ancient past long forgotten, that have survived for many thousands of years until the modern age.
