[@MythosTheHistorian]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on which deity you'd like me to discuss in a separate video. Please let me know in the comments below. Just to let you know, we already have separate videos on our channel for Anubis, Horus, Bastet, Thoth, Hathor, and Ptah. Your suggestions are highly appreciated! Thank you!

[@VincentNajger1]

Honestly....any and all. Perhaps some of the lesser known deities, that hardly anyone has heard of, that may have had a greater effect upon events than would be expected from their lesser deity status.... that would be interesting. Its such a ridiculously rich body of mythology, that could keep a content creator busy for an entire lifetime.

[@Wrydgalacticgypsy]

Khum

[@petejames1326]

do you think there is even a 0.000001% chance that one day when islam and christianity collapse, that people in huge numbers could come back to ancient religions and again begin to workship ancient egyptian gods, and maybe even ancient greek gods? or do you think this will never happens?

[@petejames1326]

i have one more stupid request, im calling it stupid because i have been made fun off and put down by everyone my entire life, im 42 now, could consider SELLING some T SHIRTS with some ancient egyptian gods on them? just think about it? i think many fans of this genre would buy them, even if there were like US$30 each just dont make them too expensive.

[@petejames1326]

This is there the Jews showed their intelligence, they invented the worship of one "true" god as a sort of consolidation, who wants to waste precious time worshipping 100+ gods when it's so much easier to just worship one God, this was the genius of the Jews, later Christians and Muslims copied this idea

[@PedroMiguel-ih9if]

You forgot Seshat (goddess of writing, wisdom and astronomy) daughter of Thoth. Still this is the best video on the Egyptian gods on YT. Instead of only talking about the ones that most already know: Ra, Horus, Osiris, Isis, Seth; and repeating their famous myth; you instead gave a great A to Z list of so many diverse gods and goddesses with a short but comprehensive description of who they are. I don't think any other video on YT mentions so many. Great job! Thank you for the good content!

[@MythosTheHistorian]

thank you for watching and glad that you loved it!

[@gypsynchains]

I came to the comments to say this! Seshat (or Seshet) is also sometimes described as Thoth’s consort. She invented writing and Thoth (or Tahuti) gave writing to mankind. Good video.

[@horsetuna]

​@@MythosTheHistorianyou forgot Thoth??

[@chaileeportraits]

I am Muslim, but i love to study knowledge from the History of other faiths, it helps me understand olden days better

[@bluesideup4647]

There is no god but Osiris, and Thoth is his messenger.

[@bhporwxhe]

Zeus is the only god! (Joking, there’s no evidence for any god).

[@queredknight]

Actually they’re mentioned in the Bible. They were cast into the abyss.

[@queredknight]

Remember said you shall not worship no other god before me.

Knowledge was never against any religion or Belief.. General knowledge prevents ignorance .. Knowledge would never Force you to adapt a certain belief .. You have your own brains to lead it or control it .. But knowledge in general gives you a chance of knowing something..

[@-RONNIE]

When it comes to Egyptian Mythology I have always liked Anubis

[@alexandermendez4653]

Me too.

[@wyattbutler1147]

Appreciate you making note of which period of ancient Egypt they were associated with, especially as it's such a long period and not all were worshipped at the same time

[@boogerbeans]

Ahhh yes my favorites are Slifer the Sky Dragon , The Winged Dragon of Ra, and Obelisk the Tormentor

[@BigJimbo106]

Sekmet, Bast, and Amun-Ra were always my favorites

[@Scrabble12]

I always liked Seth because it sounds like someone you work with

[@danielhalliwell4177]

Greek And Egyptian mythology has always been interesting to me

[@mintkit1]

Thank you so much for this list!There’s a lot of Egyptian deities here that were new to me. I’d like to point out one that I think you missed. Geb the god of earth and husband of Nut the goddess of the sky.

[@MythosTheHistorian]

I am glad that you like it! and yes :(.. I didn't add Geb.. I didn't forgot him.. It was positioned at the top of the page when I recorded the video, and I accidentally overlooked it. I only realized the mistake upon listening to the playback on KZbin... :(

[@SobekAmun]

God Sobek is one my of my fav God and God Ra too.

[@rollin-kimblecroskey9110]

I just watched this video and I still can't believe that you went through 100 gods in only 27 minutes... Wow!!!

[@delvis008]

0:43 One lion is looking back at yesturday and the other is looking forward at tomorrow, the sun in the middle is today. So that said, it is about reflection and the horizon.

[@krumplethemal8831]

Its interesting that many of the deities overlap or share similar aspects. I know some of them are separated by generations. But I still find it interesting..

[@sarathaslife7978]

Wow many unknown gods and goddesses thank you so much for creating this video it's really useful for history lover like me

[@MythosTheHistorian]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sarathaslife7978]

@@MythosTheHistorian it's very much helpful once again thank you so much for making this wonderful content

[@DragonflyMind]

This is good, but you forgot/did'nt include; Hapi and Qebesenuef, 2 out of the 4 sons of horus. They protect the lungs and intestens.

Great artwork

[@blaircolquhoun7780]

Nice video. Thank you.

[@teleiosdawyz4044]

I learned that Sehkmet was the female equivalent of Ra of sun aspects. As she was often depicted with the mane of a male lion, representing the sun's rays. Where as Ra was rhe positive aspects of the sun, growing crops and light, Sekmet was the negitive aspects, high temperatures and skin burns. One thanked Ra, but cursed Sekmet. Ra got the credit, and Sekmet got the blame.

[@JT5555]

it's better to be feared than forgotten.

[@DHARSHENV]

Thanks for your information brother 🎉❤

[@hristokoev749]

AWESOME!!! This is exactly what I am looking for!

thanks m8! Glad you love it!

Wow....AWESOME, super comprehensive list. An actually useful vid. Every Egyptian god...in alphabetical order, with a short description of the who, what, where, when and why of each particular god/diety... wow. Thankyou for this.....its such an obvious and useful vid, yet you, as far as I am aware, are _the first_ content creator to do a vid like this. Thankyou very much for this super useful and educational piece of brilliance.

You also forgot Nehemtawy(she who embraces those in need) in some stories was gifted to thoth as a wife when ra's eye went on a rampage and thoth convinced her to return.

[@MariusRomanum]

I love your voice for narrating

[@MythosTheHistorian]

I am a protestant christian but i love eygptian history and culture! It’s so fascinating to listen/read of historic stuff of eygptian culture.

[@prempehama]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@Martin-jk2ng]

I adore the Egyptian pantheon and the rationale for each of them. It's like knowing the psychology of the ancient people

[@hyrulianhero9004]

You forgot a few of them... Anput: Jackel Headed Goddess of Embalming, Funeral Rites and Mummification. She's the wife of Anubis and mother of Kebechet. Geb: God of the Earth Thoth: Ibis Headed God of Wisdom and Writing I also think you only mentioned two of Horus' four sons.

[@TakaSohma1]

You didn't say what Tutu was worshipped for. He was worshipped by all because he was the protector of dreamers and tombs. Because everyone dreams and everyone dies, he was a god for everyone and protected everyone rich and poor and in between.

[@kenniferlopez1]

Cheers!

i love Egyptian God's

[@user-qe9cq5vh4w]

My History and my Family and I know them better.. I pray for their blessings whenever I pray , and only God who leads me to it .. So if he mistakes then at least I did my part the way I could..

[@marleesmith73]

I am Japanese/ American, but my great grandfather is Egyptian. He would tell stories about the myth of the gods, the Pharoah and the stories of the Egyptian empire. I love learning about other countries history, and their culture.

[@marleesmith73]

I finde that learning about others culture, you can understand people , why the culture is important, how they go about their lives,.

[@RedeemedSon777]

Tell do you have any siblings are you a twin??

[@marleesmith73]

@RedeemedSon777 I have a little sister her name is Luna kya and a little brother Avery taku. Kya is my sister middle name and taku is my brother's middle name. Mine is Hikari. Why?.

[@marleesmith73]

@RedeemedSon777 what can I say, I like learning about other cultures . I know all about my daddy culture ( he's American), and my mommy culture ( she was Japanese), I like to expand my knowledge. I like learning, it is a window into a view of others way of life. I love learning the different history, I often compare what I learned to things I see or read. Like attack on titan for example, I compare the war in the anime to the war and struggle of reality. It is enlightening what you can learn. Like armin from attack on titan, I tend to think that if we learn to understand each other, then we might be able to agree on thing's.

[@ron4501]

"Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt" is a handsome and informative new book that tells the stories of the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. The book is filled with rich photos of the actual tombs and hieroglyphics along with the stories of their lives. Published by Fine Arts Press.

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 11:35 or 19:09 in the Grand Canyon, within a cave. The Indians called them ant people because they came from underground, from this cave It’s possibility they found an EgyptianGoddess holding lotus flowers in each hand I always wondered what goddess was that, I originally thought it was Quadesh It reminded me of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi holds a lotus in each hand, I knew it wasn’t Hindu idol they found Struggled to find right one on internet for Egyptian

Like your video but you've also forgotten Geb God of the earth and Thoth.

[@MythosTheHistorian]

Thank you! Yes, Geb, I misread the script when I recorded the voice. As for Thoth, I don't have any excuse :) Moreover, I created a separate video about him several months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaKao4KcrrOebck

i feel like almost all the gods had fertility in their job description.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

So many egyptian deities like to do some fertility

[@colinruscoe-hawksworth180]

[@undeadladybug7723]

I love how pretty much every other deity is associated with fertility

[@mysryuza]

Kek… the Pepe meme makes sense now jkjk How funny would it be if Heh was a god of laughter and joy? 😂 Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Bastet/Bast was also associated with medicines/perfume (I forgot which it was) and/or protection as well. I’ve heard that Petbe was also a god of revenge, but I could be wrong. There’s not much info about him. Dang that’s a lotta fertility gods, but I get it if they were created based on locations. I feel a level of strength and unfiltered power and rage when I think of Sekhmet. Who would have thought that red wine disguised as blood would be enough to settle her down.

[@dadevi]

There are hundreds of Egyptian Gods. It depended on the region and time period. Some were considered concepts. Others had personal home shrines and not temples.
