For those who may be interested, the island of Ibiza is named after him, the name means "island of Bes". He is generally accepted to have been worshipped in the parts of Spain that were influenced by carthaginians, but statues of him have been found as far north as Ullastret and Emporion, iberian and greek cities respectively, relatively near the modern border between spain and france on the mediterranean side.

[@karatekoala4270]

That's interesting considering that Bes was supposedly virility incarnate.

Growing up in Africa, I used to hear stories like this about short people

[@efemzyekun900]

Did you hear about Egbére whilst in Africa? Its short and always holds a mat. If you are able to fight it and defeat it and collect its mat, you will become stinkingly rich, if only you can resist its cries and please for you to give it back for 7 days. If you refuse to give it back, your wealth will be unlimited but if you cave in and have mercy and return the mat, untold misfortunes will fall on you. According to legend, almost nobody has been able to resist its cries...if any has, it's also a legend.

@@efemzyekun900 How do you summon this God?

[@efemzyekun900]

@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 it's not a god in Africa, but an Orisha. In Africa, we have only one God and He is unseen and invincible. But this Egbére is more or less like an evil spirit or evil Orisha...I wouldn't know how to summon such vile spirit, nor would I care to, but years ago in my 1 year of senior high, myself and a few mates were in the thick black forest behind my school, the kind of forest that looks like night fall in the height of noon. We were getting bamboo planks to build our inter-house sport huts, when we saw an African star apple tree, whose fruits is has a sweet sour taste and a delicacy to us kids and climbed it to pluck its fruits...lo and behold, we suddenly saw these extremely short, demonic looking beings with breast and exposed phalluses, shout at us in a strange grotesque voice...My brother, the way we all ran that day, from the bush, which was almost a half a kilometers from the school compound, not even Hossain Bolt or Ben Johnson could catch up with us...till date, I still shudder with fear, when I recollect that image. They were 5 in number, with a basket and two were female, with tiny demons strapped at their backs with strings made of rubber tree....this was sometimes in the 1990s, because I remember that the Italian 1990 world cup was holding then. When we got to the school compound, the teachers had no reason to disbelieve us, because the looks on all our faces, told it all, our expression of utter fear and despair, could only be activated by an encounter with hell. This is a true life story and I personally was there.

[@efemzyekun900]

@Massimo Luca its possible they are the same creature Massimo Luca...Africa is truly a lovely place. Most of our legends and folklore are borne out of realities. My great uncle in the village is a legendary hunter...on his days in the town, when the hunting seasons are over, I remember as a kid sitting around him, during the moonlight and hear him tell esoteric stories of his escapades and exploits in the deep forests of Africa, with his fellow hunters, and their encounters with all sorts of Animals. He is late now and may God bless his soul.

Literally almost every religion you see today has African Origins. In fact go to Egypt and look on walls an you'll see where judaism, christianity, and islam plagiarized their supposed "revelations".

[@AdairCorbin]

Im not really an expert, but i did study Egyptology and Archaeology and Bes is one of my favorite gods to look into. How different he look from other gods has long had scholars believing he is a southern import to Egypt. Also one of his titles is The lord of Punt, the exact location of which is hotly debated but two of the most common ideas are Somalia and Ethiopia. So it is not unlikely that Bes is from there. One of the unique things about him is that his is never shown in profile but always directly from the front. Gods are almost never shown this way in Egyptian art. And interestingly he is never referred to as a nṯr( the Egyptian word we often translate as God), he appears to be in a different category. He also frequently lives in the temples of other gods, particularly in Temples to Isis and Hathor. I haven't heard the idea that he represents a particular African people before but the Egyptians definitely had a tradition of magical dwarves and of considering pygmies magical and amusing as well. One of the things you didn't mention is that amulets of him are one the most common of all artifacts found in ancient Egypt, only scarabs and Schabtis (Ushabtis) are more common. One of most common beliefs about him is that he protects pregnant woman and newborns, and one of the few preserved tattoos that exist from ancient Egypt is a Bes tattoo, i believe on a royal womans thigh but im not sure.

[@ladybluelotus]

Thank you for this comment. It was very interesting and full of helpful information. I think I might do a little more research based on the information that you provided 😉😊.

[@AdairCorbin]

@@ladybluelotus one of the issues is that since the work Of EA Wallace Budge not a lot of research on Bes has been done in English it's mostly in German and French, and in the last ten years in Arabic from local Egyptian scholars (a great development in my opinion)

[@detroitshinobi4995]

Bes isn't from punt aka somalia he is from the south like most of the gods. Because the KMT people came from the south.

[@detroitshinobi4995]

So since he isn't called NTr what does that mean?? Bes is older then that with all of the duties he carries. Its older pottery in the south with Bes he isn't a somali god. But an african one even the Phoenician island was named after him. His depiction is a twa for a reason and the people also honored them. The pottery he was on was in Naqqada 2 which is before KMT was established.

[@detroitshinobi4995]

Bes was in harthors temple because he us bigger and older. He also assists multiple other gods who came later. He also journeys around with Set and was combined with set. That's how old the deity is but overall he is a african interior deity. That was worshipped by many.

You will find images of Bes in almost every ancient culture. He sits in the center of the Mayan calendar ( with his nose removed). HTH probably didn’t want to say this because it’s not confirmed among scholars but you can google it and see for yourself... Bes exists all over the globe right at the dawn of civilization. Would love to see a follow up video for this piece. 💪🏾✊🏾

That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw him, although there doesn’t seem to be a connection with death in Bes’s profile and it’s widely agreed the protruding tongue is likely representing swelling related to death on the Aztec calendar there does seem to be a very striking similarity in their depictions.

No one is equal, I respectfully disagree with your claim that no one can be superior to another. There is many people who are far more superior than me when it comes to the skills and subjects that I don't understand, yet I am always inclined to understand and be captivated by those who hold a better significant difference than me. Yet it always isn't knowledge based, it can also extend to physical differences. If I'm playing a sport such as Basketball, height is superior and brings the benefits of strength and defense, yet if you lack height it can also be a benefit, this does not mean that we are equal. It means that differences, including other perspectives, make us better and great as a people. Not everyone is equal, everyone is superior to someone in some way, and everyone is inferior to someone in some way. It's just the way the world works, yet if we accept all differences and seek to understand all perspectives, it leads to a iconic greatness. Don't get your media/socialistic ideology into the mix. It just leads to irrationality and you eventually lose the willingness to understand other meaningful perspectives. I firmly believe difference is great, but saying everyone is equal is irrational and has no logical basis.
