  • Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to dive into Egyptian Mythology, going over its 10 most powerful gods. I’ll make another video for the goddesses later on. The order in which the gods are discussed in this video isn’t based on power but on precedent, beginning with the creators.
    Alright, let’s get into it.
    Starting us off is Ptah.
    One of ancient Egypt's many creator deities, Ptah was said to have created the world with his heart and tongue. According to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, the heart was the center of thought and feeling. Because of this, Ptah first pictured and planned the creation of the world in his heart, visualizing the world as a craftsman visualizes his next project. With the idea conceived, it then passed to the tongue, which manifested the idea, bringing it to life.
    In addition to his role as the creator of the world, It was said that Ptah could fashion new bodies for the dead, furnishing them with new flesh. He was the patron of craftsmen, particularly sculptors and metalworkers. And the Greeks equated him with Hephaestus, their own divine smith.
    Most often Ptah was depicted as a bearded man, and among his most salient features are a skullcap and blue skin. The skullcap that covered his head was that of an artisan, and his blue skin was celestial blue, which is why he was known by the epithet, “he who is beautiful of face.” The scepter he carried united the djed, the was, and the ankh. The djed is a pillar-like symbol representing stability; the was is a staff that represents power and dominion; and the ankh is a cross-shaped symbol with a loop that represents life. Egyptian pharaohs were commonly crowned in Ptah’s temple at Memphis, and it was thought that the three attributes embodied by his scepter were bestowed on them at their inaugurations.
    Sekhmet, the goddess who at one time nearly exterminated the human race, was Ptah’s consort. Together they had a son, Nefertem, the god of the primeval lotus, creator gods sometimes described as emerging from this lotus, signifying their engenderment and the commencement of their great work.

      I believe that Isis was awarded "Honorary Goddess" status for birthing Horus by her beloved husband the GodKing Osiris.
      She was awarded a crown of nine upright Serpents to signify her honorary Goddess status.
      The Greeks turn her crown into a head of Serpents with Medusa raped by Posoiden instead of husband and wife.
      The Greeks are patriarchal people and take the same view as the Hebrews, that Eve was the cause of our fall.
      The Egyptians honoured Isis as our Mother Goddess and just as Europe was prior to the Indo-European invaders, the Queen bestowed the right for the male to be king or Pharaoh. She was Queen of the Land, it's fertility. Her husband was King of the people.
      Isis is also symbolised like Sehkmet as a Lionness headed Goddess.
      I believe she is the Sphinx, guarding the tomb of her beloved husband the green skinned GodKing Osiris, also wrapped in shroud like P'tah.
      Different cities had different mythologies.
