The Kane Chronicles did a great job simplifying the differences,using reincarnation to explain how Horus was both a child of Nut & Isis. I’ve had thoughts of making a screenplay about Horus’ accession- animated and told in a Game of thrones style.
I've had the exact same idea, although my thought was to make a book instead of a screenplay. Mythology in general has a lot of great potential for Game of Thrones esque stories, but unfortunately for Egyptian mythology, the closest we have is that God awful God's of Egypt movie.
😂😂😂 I'm never gonna get over the video of the kids being petrified crying "noooo" in unison when The Unknown appears... Worse it sounds like Ender not Unknown 😂😂😂
Also the war between hours and set are a metaphor of the fight to united Egypt into a single country,given the fact set was the man god of lower Egypt,and horus "the elder" was the main god of upper egypt ,so when northern kingdom beat the Southern Kingdom to make one Egypt the myths followed horus rose up set fell down
Getting a tattoo of Egyptian mythological figures then not making vids on it for a while... Couldn't be me Great video! Excited for that Celtic one next week
This exploration of Horus mythology is fascinating. With clarity and depth, this film unravels the tale of Horus, illuminating the complexity of Egyptian mythology. Truly an enthralling investigation!
It'd be interesting if both versions of Horus were actually related (like an uncle and nephew who have the same name); not just the younger being a reinvention going by the same name. Those were easily the most creative phrases to avoid demonetization.
You should dive more into the Syncritism of Egyptian and Greek gods. There are some good pieces of historie tied to it as well as the explanation pinned by the Greeks for the Egyptian’s “Furry” worship. You can even tie in that historical battle where the invading army wielded cats for defense.
In one myth recounted by Herodotus, Amun's son Khonsu wanted to know what his father looked like. Amun, reluctant to reveal himself even to his own son, devised a plan to satisfy Khonsu's curiosity. Amun decapitated a ram and presented himself to Khonsu bearing the skull in front of his own head to maintain his secrecy xD
I firmly believe mythology was the fanfic of the past. That's why there are multiple versions of the same stories and the gods were so temperamental and unpredictable.
Good episode. I've always liked stories about different gods from different cultures and the way you talk about them can't be beat. You've made several videos about mythologies from many cultures, but there are some I find interesting that I've never seen you mention. Recently, I've been watching different Chinese movies and I'm finding a lot of the mythologies from Chinese culture fascinating. The one I like the most currently is the story of Sun Wukong aka The Monkey King. If you could make a video about him, that would be awesome. If not, it's fine. I'm sure you are busy with other projects. I just thought I would suggest a story that I thought your viewers might find interesting. Thanks for reading.
I've studied so many cultures, myths and divinities and Egypt is easily one of the most. If not the most complex, varied, and multifaceted of them all. It's hard to explain to people how complicated it is, but I think you did a really good job
😂😂😂😂 I was delighted to watch this video. Very entertaining as usual. A video explaining the difference between the symbolic meaning and differences of the eye of Ra and the eye of Horus would be interesting as well. You already explained some of it with your video about Ra’s daughter Sekhmet , the destroyer who he renamed Hathor.
A new Messed Up Episode is always exciting, but even moreso when it's ancient egypt ❤ keep up the good work Jon! Looking forward to getting my Hel and Hades sweatshirts on payday
“Keep in mind that I’m not an expert” So modest. We all are aware of your pristine qualifications. How else would a man be able to bestow all of this ancient knowledge onto the masses? All seriousness, l love the channel. Long time viewer. Keep up the hard work!
I hope you both enjoyed your well deserved vacation. I'm a long time fan of yours. I rarely comment. Ra had a son named Shu. My middle name is Shu-Shu, it's Souix .I would love to know more about Shu please. Thank you for doing this channel, I've shared and shown a few people who are now fans also. I always knew "Jon shot first"😊
Set: “Ahhh… nephew, did you have “sweat dreams” last night” Horus: “Not much… I only remember hearing weird grunting noises.” Set(slightly sweating): “That was probably a nearby hippo” Horus: “You’re probably right… anyway here is some lettuce I got from the market” Set: “Opoohhh… my favorite” (eats it) “Moist, Warm, and Salty Just the way I like them. Horus (smiles sinisterly): “Glad you like it… enjoy it all.”
Dueled an "effigy" of a hippopotamus, you say? Then ate a hippo-shaped cake?! Nay, Jon! I decry thee! It must have been the corpus of that very hippo the pharaoh had fought with, sweetened only with the honey of victory!! Very... interesting episode. Dear goodness. Would you consider a "Messed-Up Origins of Orcs" (cf. Tolkien) in the future? Thank you always and stay safe!
Great retelling. I’ve always wondered why Set is associated with chaos and disorder rather than just unbridled aggression. I think of chaos as being unpredictable and it was Horus who seems more unpredictable without the guidance of his mother Isis. If anything, Horus comes off as more of a trickster who overcomes a more powerful rival, not unlike other deities in Africa. It makes me wonder if the ancient Egyptians themselves saw Set as chaotic or if that is an outside interpretation.
I wear an Eye of Horus a lot- love it, and loved this telling of his story…. Personally I prefer Bastet, loyal protector…. Moon Knight also had a very good take on the gods, I’d like to hear your thoughts on that Jon….. (Rick Riordan also covered the Egyptian Gods very well imo…..)
Jon when you took the image from old Egyptian, and then the new AI looking image, the first one was Ra which was shown by the Sun disk on his head and the second one was Horus
I know this is going Beyond the material, but it would be cool if you'd cover the 4th Doctor episode "Pyramids of Mars". Where Set and Horus are aliens. Sutek is imprisoned on Mars, and Mic Jagger's home is used as the old Priory that sat on the grounds before UNIT HQ. (The Lovely Elizabeth Sladen played Tom Baker's companion Sarah Jane Smith)
There’s a version of the story where Isis/Eset forced Ra to give Horus/Heru his blessing to be king. She did this by creating a cobra from his own blood (don’t know how she got it) and had it bite him. The only way he could be cured was by Isis, and she wouldn’t help unless he named Horus as king.
Horus (pronounced Heru in Nubian language) is my Favorite Egyptian god. Honestly, if i could just have any of the power of the Egyptian gods it is him.# ProudlyEgyptianProudlyAfrican
I've been studying ancient scriptures for a while now and here's my take on Horus & fam. All the stories of the ancient gods are allegorical and not literal. Every god stands for something in the collective unconscious psyche and at the same time in everybody's personal psyche. Osiris stands for death and renewal i.e. "progress" while Seth stands in contrast to his brother for brute force which resists change i.e. conservatism. Osiris lives on in Horus who survives all of Seth's attempts to best him. And the thing about injecting their sperm is not real sperm but rather the creative ideas of the two opposing ideologies. Horus is able to show that even the conservatives need death and renewal i.e. progress to keep up with the real world while he doesn't need brute force to survive. Once you extract the symbollic meaning of each 'god' in these epics one can see that they talk about the constant conflict between dual opposites which keeps the entire universe as well as all sentient beings like us in a constant state of evolution. The same applies to all the 'prophets' mentioned in all 'holy books'. They were all allegories and not real historic people. Religious priesthoods created these characters and made them objects of worship and holiness completely corrupting the deeper message in order to usurp political power to worldy ends. That's how all religions emerged. But in realiry there are no religions and we all share the same dual characteristics mentioned in these ancient stories. Best regards.
Egyptian mythology takes sisterwives to a whole new level I have an eye of ra tattoo along with many other egyptain symbols and I had no idea drake had one time to schedule a removal (judt kidding)
Speaking of Set, I found, in Wikipedia, the names of his offspring, and one of them had very few references on the site. The name was Maga. I did, however, read John Rogers' PDF that seems to be the source of the information. I was wondering if you have or could find more information about the demon deity (as referred to by J. Rogers), offering of Set? 🖖😎👍
Im from Serbia and i like your videos because you once sayd vampires are from Serbia This is true and you know that You are a very, vety good RUclipsr😊

Just because of this comment I’m going to remember the Willie Wonka thing forever
what do you guys mean i dont understand who's smite

I came here to say the same thing. I love seeing the Smite artwork

Forever grateful for all the time you spend on all of these videos for us!
Very interesting material, love how you break down different story variations 😊
Been waiting on Horus for a minute. I can't wait to see more Egyptian content. Praise Horus!!!
The thought of them using a giant hippo pinata makes me smile
Fantastic video, the artwork and professional editing are really next level! This origin story is WILD though!
Legends say Horus was once given the title of Warmaster and lead a heresy against his father .
Killing his brother was the worst
That's yougEST Horus, he hasn't happened in the timeline yet. We got a while.
One of my favorite ways of learning! I love these videos they help me learn while having some fun.
Me too
I was hoping to see more Egyptian mythology! ❤❤
Once you go Egypt there's no turning back. 😅

Isis. I think it would be awesome to cover her next and maybe we all can learn more about her 🎉
May be one of the grossest stories to date, but thank you for diving in. Always appreciate it!

Yayy a new vid
How could you make an entire video about Horus and not mention the 2016 movie, Gods of Egypt? It’s such an accurate retelling of his story.
Ah yes the famous incestuous baby batter saga. What a wild ride. Bottom shaming is a tale as old as time apparently
Hey jonsolo, have you ever done any Inuit mythology/ folklore?
That bit with Drake was SAVAGE I love it!! 🤣🤣🤣
Drake was famous because his ex is famous, for being famous. Does he still have a career?
Never heard of him...
I'm pretty sure all of this is covered in the 2016 record breaking cinematic masterpiece "The Gods of Egypt". Plus Gerard Butler
@JonSolo have you done one on Anubis? I’d love to watch that one. He’s my favorite Egyptian God
The whole ENNEAD legit called a God of War "Bottom" and everybody accepted it, even Set
If you could do a deep dive on the scorpion goddess Serket/Selket/Serquet, that would be awesome.
ah yes good old Horus... the black flame dragon. I could not stop myself from making that joke a great video as always.
