An interesting tale in hinduism is the story of sati, the brave wife of satyavan. When Yama takes her husbands soul to the underworld, she follows him. Using her wit and dedication, finally ends up moving Yama to restore her husband back to life.
Actually, It's Savitri Not Sati.. Impressed by the Devotion for her Husband, God Yam told her to ask for a Boon and Savitri prayed to Yam to let her Husband live until he see His Grandchildren getting Married..
@@heiAMB Sati is also used as Honorary title which Savitri Earned.. That's why Sati Savitri or Savitri the Pious..and Through the ages "Sati Savitri" as whole itself has turned into an Honorary Title for Well Charactered Women/Wives.
11:01 the picture you showed as "yamadutas" (Messengers of Yama) are actually Vishnudutas (Messengers of Vishnu), which is why they look like Lord Vishnu. At 10:59, you showed Vishnudutas encircling a dying man. They're actually saving the man from Yamadutas because the man is Ajamila, a devotee of Vishnu. You can read this interesting story on internet, search "the story of Ajamila". Very informative video and thank you for including a Hindu deva. Love all the way from India ❤
For Hellenism ,the real answer is not Thanatos as he is just personification ,he isn't killing anyone. The true divinity of death is goddess Atropos one of the Morai ,she cuts the string of life ,this killing the human .
There are more gods of death in Slavic mythology than Morana. She was rather winter alone (beautiful, cold and cruel.Veles was the ruler of the empire of the dead and only behind the empire of the dead was the empire of hell that ruled Kasčej
I really like this format. Please keep up with this. And talking about some of the more obscure mythos like Finnish and traditional Canaan and Mesopotamian.
One notable addition I like to make is the Buddhist Kṣitigarbha Boddhisatva, the Boddhisatva of the underworld, who in many sects of Buddhism is responsible for judging the souls through the reincarnation cycle(and jointly rules hell with Yan Luo Wang/Yama in Chinse/Japanese mythology), and the only reason he(or in rarer cases she) doesn't become a full Buddha is because he vows only to become Buddha when hell is empty. also, the Hindu Yama actually influenced the Chinese Yan(Luo) Wang and Japanese Yama.
@@DarknessandLorehey I'm not sure if you know about this god but his name is Baron Samedi who is technically not a god of the dead but are instead are called loa and are technically not deities but are said to may be of divine origin that were probably created by a god for assistance in a particular role in voodoo mythology and baron samedi has the role of death
Lol bro Yama are in Vedas which is most ancient scriptures that's means before Buddhism so how you can say Yama inspired form Chinese and Japanese mythology
I llike that you showcased gods from lesser known mythologies! I would love to see gods from Caribbean folklore, which I think pull from South American and African folklore as well.
You neglected to mention that Helheim is also the residence of the souls of people who were executed as condemned criminals, and that Hel is exceptionally merciless to those individuals, forcing them to relive every single crime they committed in life.
He also forgot to mention she has a great spikey helmet and two giant longsword and the ability to destroy mjolnir. Shut up and stop being to pretentious, this a great video for those who want a quick and easy introduction to the gods of death.
Xolotl was a Toltec deity that was added to the Mexica pantheon. It's something like when the Roman's started worshiping Isis. So even though the "Aztecs" (Mexica) worshiped Xolotl, he wasn't part of their original pantheon.
@Sigma_Male_Anti_Female Nope, they are truly deities, it is just with the evolution of the tribes and cities that their pantheons evolve, and some of them were given lesser tasks, but they are true GODS...
The layout and way information is given in these videos is really good. Please make more of these types of videos but with Gods of other aspects of life and death.
The picture used in the above video for Yama-dhutas (Yama's messengers) is lord vishnu saving righteous souls from being taken away to be judged.A righteous is released from the cycle of birth and death. Hell and heaven are both temporary. The picture of the man holding a lotus and other divine objects (shown as a Yama-dhuta) is actually lord vishnu not a Yama Dhuta, but the demonic looking beings are Yama-dhutas. There are many depictions of these messengers. In the popular epic Ramayana, the evil king Ravana is dragged to hell by a woman wearing red.
They're racking up, this vids are interesting as hell, even if don't include EVERY specific god they definitely include many even lesser known ones, so I can't complain at all
Imagine all of them in purgatory being like, “What is the next hurdle of death that we should embark upon the earth this year?” And they all vote. They all probably share whatever afterlife is with each other. They are all death gods.
Being from Scandinavia, I was taught that while “Hel” was the ruler of the Norse underworld, the proper “God of Death” is actually “Odin” himself. Great video though 👍
Odin still afraid of Hela Lokidottir. He can retrieve Baldr under her authority. He beg her in the end. Also, Odin can't be God of Death because he fucking dies in the dead
@@rizkiramadhan9266he is... also a massive pompous narcissistic bastard... so it's quite in character for him to want to be known as the true god of death lol
YAMA is the best death god. Best in the sense that the concept behind him makes the most sense. Also it's important to note that he is always depicted with a noose cuz no one can escape death. Although his father Surya is not the creator. Brahma is the creator.
Yamadharmaraja is actually not the God of death, but the Devata (Deity or Lord) who judges the karmas (actions) of the mortals post their death. His brother Shanaischara plays the role of the judge during the mortal's lifetime. Surya is the Sun. Like literally.
Death Gods/Shinigami are My favorite type of Gods in mythology and three of my favorite anime/manga are focused on them like Bleach, Death note and Soul Eater
Finnish mythology has a whole fleet of minor gods associated with death related things. like Kalma, direct daughter of Tuoni and Tuonetar. her name means "the stench of corpses" and her favorite place to linger is the graveyard. she has multitude of siblings associated with pain and sickness, and other such niceties.
Maquetaurie Guayaba or Maketaori Guayaba was the Taino god of Coaybay, the land of the dead. Opiyelguabirán, a dog-shaped Taino god, watched over the dead
As for Innana, I have read the version of the story where she descends to the underworld to save her husband Dumuzi or Tammuz. And she did manage to leave, but with the help of other gods, and Dumuzi had to stay. Her visiting Dumuzi in Ereshkigal's kingdom was used as an explanation of winter, because Innana is not only a goddess of love and war, but also of life. So when she stays in the underworld, there is generally less life in the world of the living. And that's why it is fitting that they are sisters, being goddesses of life and death, and hating each other's guts despite being related.
I know I’m late, but as someone of Nahuatl origin who still follows the gods, Mictlantecuhtli does have parents, just not in the way you’d think. The four directions- Quetzalcoatl, Xipe Totec, Tezcatlipoca, and Huitzilopochtli- are all his fathers. It’s not the most important, but there is a distinction between the parentless (Ometeotl), their children: the four directions, then the children of Tlalticpac, then the children of Coatlicue, so on and so on
Fun fact: Hinduism is actually monotheistic just like christian mythology islamic mytholgy and stuff, but hindus believe the deities are manifestations of that supreme god.
Ankou is not evil, but necessary in our folklore. Also his scythe is looking up instead of down, there are many theories as ro why but nobdy can tell where this comes from. Ankou is also the original inspiration for the look of the grim reaper, as he is way older.
@@DarknessandLore No problem. A video on ocean mythologies would be of interest if you do consider making one. Olokun (Yoruba-Bini), Yemoja (Yoruba), Guabonito (Taino), Guabancex (Taino), Kianda (Angolan), are some of my suggestions. Creation wise, Orisanla (The original one-Yoruba) and Odu (Yoruba).
Judging from Japan's declining population, it looks like Izanami is winning. 😂 Also, pretty interesting how the Mongekyo Sharingan of Naruto world makes so many references to Shinto gods and goddesses: Izanami, Izanagi, Tsukuyomi, Amateratsu, Susanoo.
The Japanese animes are full of references from eastern religions like hinduism, buddhism and shintoism. Like zoros sword Yama, and big Mamas Vajra named Indra. The chakra concept from naruto is also taken from hinduism and the swastikas in many managas, vinsmoke judge is named after the hindu god garuda, and fate characters are named after mahabharata characters, Rakshash from berserk are demons in hinduism, agni in black butler, and the whole concept of reincarnation.
Another interesting God of death is the Charthaginian god Mot, who was the worst enemy of the creator of the universe Baal (also, in west Semitic, Mot means Death). This legend is found all around the Mediterranean from Malta to Sicily and some versions are present in Mesopotamia.
I really wish this list added Hermes and Hekate to the list of Greek gods, they both have chthonic aspects and rulings and especially Psychopomp duties that assist Thanatos and Hades all the time. Not to mention I think Expanding on Persephone’s History as a goddess of death would have added some good meet to the story of hades as well
As a mexican, im glad you said like "sholot" instead of sholotle, theres no tle tle.. its annoying to see foreigner trying to teach native speaker how to pronounce their own languages.
The part I find interesting are the recurring themes on display. Scythes come up a few times, and then there is Morana with the sickle, harvesting is obviously a recurring theme here.
The edits are funny something simple like *poof* and a ruler apears. 😂 Im having fun playing the videos on 2x speed, your channel as a whole is very promising. Keep up the good work ❤
Anatha Mythology: Medeinian (custom) Other Names: Sumu Iuda (Supreme Judge) Anatha is the goddess of death, darkness and judgement, one of "the great three" and the opposite of her husband, Tonatiuh the god of light, sight and the stars, unlike most polytheistic religions, Anatha, like the other divinities have no known form, so she is represented by her symbol. Anatha has the task of Judging the souls at the end of the 4 worlds (Thalassa, Marica, Faunus and Gaia/Earth) and send them to Ina (the void) or Preme (the reward)
Awee really wanted to see Supay, the Inca god of death here too :((( he’s from my ancestors beliefs and pantheon. He was a lord of demons and bringer of chaos hehe kinda like Set
I’m Chinese, yanluo wang is native Chinese deity and not associated with Buddhism. It is often included in Buddhism due to the original Nepalese branch of Buddhism got “localized” with Taoism (native Chinese belief where Yanluo Wang is from) which created Zen Buddhism. Also side note Finnish death god Tuoni is Chinese pin yin spelling of the English name Tony lmfao I found that really funny.
Yama in Hinduism and yanluo wang seemed similar and I’m curious. But I don’t know much about Chinese version. Is he responsible for rebirth, guiding soul to heaven and giving punishment to the people who were bad in over world ?
Fun folktale about the Mayan Ah Puch, he was once after an old woman whom he could never reach because the old woman had so much to do everyday that Ah Puch would tire of chasing her and come back the next day. The moral behind it was if you sit around and do nothing Ah Puch will reach you.
Thanks for watching! Marzanna (in Polish), Morė (in Lithuanian), Marena (in Russian), Mara (in Ukrainian), Morana (in Czech, Slovene and Serbo-Croatian), Morena (in Slovak and Macedonian) or Mora (in Bulgarian) so both are correct.
I think this is a very good video but I have 2 things to mention. First Ousiris was becoming important in the Old Kingdom, in the 5. Dynasty and he was separated in 42 pieces, this is also the origin of the 42 administration districts in ancient Egypt.
Isn’t he more of a destruction and decay god rather than death/afterlife? Like a negative aspect of chaos in nature rather than death in and of itself? At least that was what I understood from a look into Nergal.
Ummmm.... I need to step in here on the Egyptian God Osiris. Ma'at was the judge of souls, she was the one who weighed the mortal soul against Her Feather. If they were too heavy, the soul would be given to the Devourer Amnit to eat. Osiris may preside over the Sea of Reeds, but he did not judge the souls.
Well, there is a minor error in the YAMA and Yamadoota Section, the photo you showed as yamaduta is actually vishnu and the previous picture from which you have taken it, Multiple Vishnus are protecting their devotee from yamadootas
Even "Yama" the lord of the underworld in Hinduism is a post passed from one to another but their rule is for thousands of years, he is Just and never accepts lies and punishes the dead souls as per their karma.
An interesting tale in hinduism is the story of sati, the brave wife of satyavan. When Yama takes her husbands soul to the underworld, she follows him. Using her wit and dedication, finally ends up moving Yama to restore her husband back to life.

If they were too heavy, the soul would be given to the Devourer Amnit to eat. Osiris may preside over the Sea of Reeds, but he did not judge the souls.

Well, there is a minor error in the YAMA and Yamadoota Section, the photo you showed as yamaduta is actually vishnu and the previous picture from which you have taken it, Multiple Vishnus are protecting their devotee from yamadootas
Yama has 4-arms and green with red eyes.
Even "Yama" the lord of the underworld in Hinduism is a post passed from one to another but their rule is for thousands of years, he is Just and never accepts lies and punishes the dead souls as per their karma.
