For those wondering why sometimes the gods overlap on domains, it's because Ancient egypt had at least 4 different centers of religion, so for example Thoth was an important god in Memphis, Which had an entire pantheon that didn't include the likelyhood of Ra and his children in such an equal veneration, or if at all.

Horus then went to kill Set, but Isis stopped him, because that's her brother/brother-in-law, so Horus cut her head off instead, but then panicked, and tried to save her life. Since ancient Egyptians KNEW the head contains nothing important, Horus just sewed the head of a cow onto her and it was all hunky dory. Oh yeah, and Osiris is just a zombie.

Since it is a name of the god first Tetha letter got to be capitalized (it's "Tot", not "tot"). So it's capital Tetha, followed by small omega and then followed by small tetha. Actually during various periods of Egyptian history his name was spelled as something like Tehety or even Dyehety but the Greek pronunciation is one of the more recent ones that got into roman empire and persists as the name of the deity we use today. For example it still is the spelling used by modern Greeks today. Like you can just look up Greek wikipedia: el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%98%CF%89%CE%B8

One common thing never mentioned or known is that the jelousy that Set had over Osiris was when Set found out that Osiris was sleeping with Set's wife Nephthys. It is also when Set questioned whether Anubis is even his son due to how long his wife was cheating on him. And the reason Set wanted to kill Osiris was not over the jelousy, but because Osiris usurped the role of king of the Gods frim Ra. Set, being extremely loyal to Ra, saw the usurping of the kingship by Osiris as treason. After Osiris died, he usurped another kingship role as he declared himself as king of the afterlife, taking the role and title away from Anubis. Anubis was given the title and role of king of the afterlife when his mother Nephthys, original ruler and queen of the afterlife, gave it to her son when he becamr of age.

[@kreolado5880]

All of these are common misconceptions. The story of the affair between Nephthys und Osiris was written by the greek author Plutarch. It is not egyptian. And Plutarch didn't even claim, that Set killed Osiris specifically for sleeping wirh his wife. In fact, most egyptian sources don't even have Nephthys being the wife of Set in the first place. And the Set-being-loyal-to-Ra-thing is something Rick Riordan (the author of Percy Jackson) made up. In some egyptian sources, Set even attacks Ra before Horus has to save him.

[@BlueJayYT]

The thing with Egyptian Mythology is that there isn't really one "true" story. In some versions, Osiris slept with Nephthys and gave birth to Anubis, but in other versions, Osiris never slept with Nephthys. In some versions, Set killed Osiris over jealously like I said in the video. Localizations lead to many different versions of these myths, too many to cover in this video, which is why I playfully prefaced the video with that "how can I possibly simplify a religion this massive?" joke in the beginning, because you can't accurately simplify it.

[@duphasdan]

@@BlueJayYT The version I heard came from a learning channel like show where it was mentioned that the story of Set vs Horus changed radically after a couple of pharaohs had a war. One had Horus as a patron God since he came from the cult center for Horus at Hierakonpolis. And the other had Set as his parton God and came from his cult center in Ombos. The one that followed Horus won the civil war and rewrote the story to be more black and white instead of grey. When the story was translated later on, the version that was translated was written afterward as that version is more plentiful, due to previous version either being faded away or intentionally destroyed. Further demonetization of Set came after Nubia conquered Egypt when it was weak. And then later on when Persia conqured Egypt not long after Egypt achieved their independence from Nubia. Set, being among other things the God of war, chaos, and such, is also the God of foreigners, foreign nations, and diplomacy. The red of his body being the color of foreigners as Egyptians saw all foreigners as having one shade of red or another, like white people looking pink as they fluster under the sun, black people with dark desaturated red, and Greeks having a lite desaturated red olive color. Having had about two centuries of bad luck, Set was seen as evil due to letting things happen so badly. Older versions of the story are more grey and varied in what is included. Some don't even include a coffin, but with Osiris being stung by Set as he is in insect form, and then being trampled by Set after he changed into a hippo form. Others have Osiris intact in the coffin, and being found in a tree in the Levant region. Another has Anubis bringing Osiris back to life temporarily and then single handedly taking on 10,000 of Set's troops while Isis does her thing with Osiris. In that version, Anubis is mentioned as being so skilled with the blade that he took the heads of the entire army with one swing.

[@duphasdan]

@@kreolado5880 I literally took a course in college that mentioned various myths and old stories as a humanities course. And I learned that version of the story before Percy Jackson was a thing. also, Plutarch was known to gather stories already known and put it to writing much like the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, collected popular fairy tales around Europe to compile in their work Grimm's Fairy Tales in the early 19th century.

[@kreolado5880]

@@duphasdan I have read about 20 different academic works dealing with Plutarch's view of Egyptian mythology. Modern historians have a critical view of Plutarch's work because Plutarch misunderstands many concepts of Egyptian mythology. For example, he copies Greek myths one-to-one and simply inserts Egyptian gods instead of their greek counterparts. The reason why Plutarch's works are so widespread is because historians of the last century have given more credence and attention to European sources like Plutarch than to Egyptian ones. If you claim that your aspects of the myth are part of egyptian mytology, then cite your sources

6:33 oh my Gods , the hawk tuah girl is an Egyptian goddess reincarnated we’ve been wrong this whole time😂

I had to stop the video at 5:45 my Chilean brain immediately recognized that illustration of Ra from the TCG "Mitos y Leyendas" (myths and legends) from Chile, one of the most popular strategy based card games in Chile. Well done BlueJay.

I remember watching a doc a long-ish time ago that said the "priests" in ancient Egypt would start their day in "prayer" while standing the the edge or the river, facing the sun rise, and openly taking care of the "morning wood" as a manor of devotion and prayer. Now I know that it wasn't untrue and where the story came from. LOL!

[@МартинГеоргиев-ф9с]

Your videos keep getting more refined and you have truly carved a niche for yourself!

[@hissingcat5073]

Very accurate, I'll need this later, for... Reasons

[@maxwelljohnson2588]

Thanks!

[@BlueJayYT]

Thank you!

[@joseleonido3479]

8:18 You know Osiris was that cool when he’s literally got a *HUMAN HEAD*.

[@christiancleofas7451]

Also, if you say Horus within an earshot of a blood angel, you'd get unalived the fastest.

[@KinsmanKleiner]

If only pharaoh was good

[@thomwg7452]

And reasonably priced

I am a psychiatrist who spends 45 hours a week listening to people who have various mental conditions. Each day, I spend time with patients who are very depressed/anxious, angry, going through grief, infidelity, etc. It is very exhausting at the end of the day and I normally crash on the couch. Recently, I somehow came across your channel and have binge watched every single video. Your videos have me laughing the entire time and they put me in a great mood even if my work day didnt go so well. I think you are seriously the funniest person on KZbin. I'm so ecstatic you uploaded a new video and I can't wait to watch it later when I get home. Thanks for being my antisepressant ❤

[@Captain_Aksis]

That soul read about Destiny was not expected

I also was a kid who was into mythology, especially ancient egyptian. As a kid i saw them as fascinating fictional stories and took them literal, but a few decades later now, after studying them & their complex symbology, i see the timeless value and historic accounts of our distant past (meaning, previous human civilizations) wrapped in colorful stories. Like all mythology, they aren't just stories and they surely aren't fictional, that's the superficial impression that they give, they are full of meaning and symbolism. You need to understand the symbolism first (like learning how to read before text/words/books start to make sense), then you'll get the meaning of mythology. Mythology has mankind's history encoded in it, bits and pieces of an ancient past long forgotten, that have survived for many thousands of years until the modern age.

[@stevenschnepp576]

"Very loosely inspired by true events" and "fictional" are not antonyms.

[@logandeaver]

Love the King Gizzard reference! Funny enough, they just released a song called “Set” which seems to be about that God. It's pretty good.

[@CodyChamp]

King Gizzard is the Goat

[@sarahr2898]

Came to the comments section to say this too!

[@cljones9931]

Blue jay out here threatening people with a switchblade

[@Schwerple]

11:42 OK didn't want to learn that and now I want holy water

[@rakeshchowdhury202]

Holy... Sea Water perhaps?

[@isaiahmiro2042]

DID YOU JUST REFERENCE KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD THATS MATHMATICAL

[@calebbyars]

“Punish the blasphemer!” Is an instant meme lol

[@usergiodmsilva1983PT]

You even got the lettuce reference right in the set/Horus story. Hat tip to you sir. BTW, recommend whole heartedly the book "In Bed With the Egyptians"

[@christiangibson1867]

Hey dude, I've been watching your channel for a while now. I really appreciate your style; so many KZbinrs in the vein of edutainment just try to copy the styles of other channels that have been successful. Youve got your own thing going on, and I think it's one of the best. When you upload a video I'm always excited to watch it. Keep it up, after I finished the video and went to like it, I thought it'd have millions of views. Youll get there some day, I'm sure. You have the quality for it.

[@mittensfastpaw]

The euphemisms alone toss this video into 10/10 stars!

[@alessandrogambino420]

I absolutely love your video. History and comedy all in one?! Love it. Thanks for teaching us while being entertaining. Keep up the amazing work. 😊

[@SplittTwig]

Omg a king gizzard reference as a superfan of theirs since 2015 that meant a lot to me

[@greenviolist34]

2:30 😂😂😂 "You'll never get bored of surviving the Bronze Age."

[@dougryan8566]

[@Thanzzclipper]

BLUEJAAYYY❤

[@KO_ghost_boi]

[@RoeRogers]

The perfect blend of history and dark humor.

[@PantherCat64]

Thanks SSeth, I can't escape Osiris myth anywhere now, even a video on obscure egyptian mythology

[@cube9951]

10:22 we dont talk about the ennead webcomic osiris 😭😭😭

[@M00dstarr]

I had to search the comments high and wide to see if anyone caught ennead in this video

[@oatmealdoodles]

The clouds have parted and Bluejay has posted, today is a good day.

[@Koupip]

just finished binge watching your entire channel, glad to see you are not dead

[@nola281]

Uploads are few and far between but quality and worth the wait.

[@Jaeywa]

13:14 this shit is so funny

[@King_of_Cards]

16:56 not our finest moment

[@antikommunistischaktion]

We really need an "Alex tries to escape from Bluejay's dunge- I mean 'lab'" story arc.

[@BlueJayYT]

lol that could be a fun animated short! Also thank you for the support :)
