You’re pronouncing it wrong, translating an Egyptian Hieroglyphic name like [ *HORUS* ] to English change the pronunciation of the first letter from Arabic (حاء) to English/Latin (H). Why ? Because there’s no letter in English matches the original letter, the closest is H. Another Example is The Female Pharaoh [ *HATSHEPSUT* ] The first letter change in English because there is no specific letter for it in English like in Arabic ! That’s why if you practice Arabic (which currently the official Egyptian language) it gonna be easier to read & translate Egyptian Hieroglyphic scripts, you can’t fully comprehend an iconic civilization as long as you’re pronouncing it inaccurately !

That reconstruction sketch of the old temple is interesting... did more egyptian deities have similar temples around that time? It seems to actually have some similarity with the concept of the tabernacle, an enfenced courtyard with the holy set back inside that... it's no exact match, but it would hint to a whole culture of similar sanctuaries over the region... or could do that...

How do people tell apart Horus from a falcon-shaped Ra? When are they separate and when the same? Or in other related istances like eye of Ra and eye of Horus. Did one rose in mythological prominence before the other or were they hybridised together from separate Egyptian beliefs? This part of Egyptian mythology always confused me.

He was the Primarch of the XVIth legion known as the Luna Wolves - later Sons of Horus. He fell to chaos and became disillusioned with both the Imperium and the Emperor himself, leading him to start the eponymously named "Horus Heresy" in which 9 former loyalist legions including Horus' own betrayed the Emperor and attempted to wipe out all Loyalist Legions so they could Seize Terra, neé Earth. The Betrayal failed as soon as Horus was slain by the Emperor of Mankind himself in a duel, leading to the forced Exodus of the traitors to the Eye of Terror; a realm where the Warp and Real space intertwine.

[@kitcutting]

I've been into Egyptian mythology since elementary school, and I like to look at the centerpiece of its teachings as a precursor to the Christian trinity, centered around the gods Amun-Ra (the Creator), Thoth (the Preserver), and Osiris (the King of the Dead.) I'm also aware of the similar Hindu analogy (with Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva as their respective counterparts.) And there's also another trinity of Egyptian gods, symbolizing the in-between transitions among birth, life, and death: Horus (to give humans the breath of life), Seth (to grant humans the will to live and conquer in order to die), and Anubis (the one who leads humans into a new life after death.) Depending on the cult, I can see Amun-Ra being swapped out for Re-Horakhty, and Horus being swapped out for Ptah. There's still so much we don't know about ancient Egyptian religion, and it's fun to speculate on what could have been based off of what archeologists have already uncovered.

[@bojokowski]

[@simonhunter834]

Have you ever read "Liber Al vel Legis" or "The Book of the Law" by Aleister Crowley. This little book written in 1904 brings Egyptian mythology into the Twentieth century... it may sing to your soul, as it has done to me and so many others. But a word of caution. It is written in the Book of Revelations that none shall ascend by way of the Book of the Beast, except the Beast himself and the one who shall follow him (his magickal son). This is the most important key to arriving at the angelic interpretation of this amazing book.

[@seanfeeley6906]

Egypt has been around for 5000 years that we know of and the narrative of ancient Egyptian historians suggests they’ve been around since before the flood. There’s a lot of contradictions in the theology from beginning to end.

@@seanfeeley6906 very true. Predynastic Egypt has had many customs and traditions that have evolved to become unrecognizable from - say - Ptolemaic Egypt, or even the Old Kingdom. One of the biggest misconceptions that people still have to this day is pointing out ancient Egypt as a monolith

I would love to see videos on ancient Sumerian religion and how it changed into Babylonian and Assyrian religions. Inanna in particular is interesting because she’s both an origin of Aphrodite and her Descent into the Underworld is in some ways an older version of Hades and Persephone myth

[@NevisYsbryd]

Nah, Persephone's story is much more in sharing with Ereshkigal. Both are queens of the underworld who were involuntarily brought there to be so, yet really took to it after the fact.

[@Joyride37]

@@NevisYsbryd Exactly my point though. Inanna as a character is preserved in Aphrodite. But her story of Descent into the Underworld, which features Ereshkigal prominently, is an older version of Hades and Persephone. Inanna forcing Dumuzid to take her place in the underworld, and then all the crops dying because of it and the compromise of him only being there for half a year, was used to explain the seasons just like Persephone’s abduction was. It’s not a 1:1 comparison but an interesting mix of familiar elements

[@giacomostefanoni7634]

mmm while you are both right, it seems to me you just found a small piece of a much bigger puzzle. The "descent into the underworld" is an almost universal mytheme, with other major examples being the goddess Isis (another "Queen of the underworld") and goddesses Amaterasu and Izanami of Japanese lore. While the most common explanation of such similar but far away stories relies on cultural diffusion, a newer and much more interesting interpretation is that they originated independently by witnesses of the same celestial events. You won't find such interpretations in main mythological circles, but if you want to learn more about it I can't recommend enough authors such as David Talbott, Dwardu Cardona and Ev Cochrane. True pioneers of a different vision of what mythology actually is.

[@NevisYsbryd]

@@giacomostefanoni7634 Oh, if I was unclear on such, I am not refuting that it is a reoccurring mythological motif; I was specifically refuting Aphrodite (or Inanna/Ishtar/Astarte) as a cognate for Persephone (whose cognate is instead, I argue, Ereshkigal). Amaterasu would be a bit troublesome as a cognate going by the astronomical/astrological side of things, given that she is a Sun goddess to Inanna/Ishtar/Astarte/Aphrodite's Venus (and imo, Ereshkigal/Persephone's Mars), nor does she have any myths about descending to the underworld (the closest equivalent being her brief withdrawal to a cave, which was _not_ Yomi). Granted, the archetypal roles associated with each planet do sometimes vary cross-culturally, or even change over time (for another solar example, I think Apollo was originally a Martian god, rather than Solar). Isis... is a can of worms, given how many other goddesses' functions she eventually absorbed. She is anything _but_ a single, clean archetype.

If you think about it, especially in the ancient, when the world wasn’t densely populated, the desire of any religion is the prosperity and multiplying the people. Homosexuals don’t reproduce, since homosexuals don’t reproduce their bloodline comes to an end and they slow down multiplying the number of your people. In the ancient world the focus was on more people and a richer people, they were being practical. We see in Bible, Torah be fruitful and multiply, other religions had similar views. In 2021, we now have 8 billion people on the planet. We can afford a population slow down.

[@jacopoarmini7889]

it's complicated, as, at least in the Old Testament, we don't have any straightforward prohibition against homosexuality, it's a later interpretation of some passages (leviticus and Sodom and Gomorrah most famously) that has been put into question after a more scrupulous analysis in our day and age. I am no theologist, but the current line of thought is that many of what have been interpreted as bans of homosexuality are actually referring to either religious prostitution or sexual slavery, which are in my opinion way more worthy of God's attention.

[@lshulman58]

I would argue that the Wedjat is also meant to include a reference to Ra. The literal eye is usually always depicted as a singular disk, rather than including a separation between iris and pupil. This was meant to be interpreted as a typical sun disk, and used to reference the abstract power of Ra, or the Source. In this, I think it important to keep the distinction that Ra acted more as the preeminent framework for which "The Nine" were then able to act upon and within.

You know, it's rather weird that 40k made their Horus associated with wolves given that the mythological Horus was associated with falcons Like if you're going to pick the name Horus why not go all the way with that Especially when they already had a wolf-themed Primarch

[@citronm1405]

I guess there wasn't that much thought put into what was, at the time, ancient history for a tabletop war gaming system. As a fan of the Horus Heresy 30K Lore books, I think the stories would have been enhanced with Horus having a different animal icon as opposed to Russ. They use the Eye of Horus in the lore, but I don't think the writers knew enough about actual Egyptian mythology to incorporate Horus' Falcon concept. I don't think the original writers expected the Horus Heresy to become such a big story in and of itself. I think The Lunar Falcons would be cool!

[@redornament3248]

Though, there already is a pretty Egyptian-themed Legion in the lore, that being the Thousand Sons, who went traitor and are sorta like mummy space marines in blue n gold :P

[@doubleoof7907]

I like to think because the Horus stuff took place 30,000 years in the future that Horus’s connection to crows gradually fell off

[@SkullyTheHypnoSkull]

That's because W40k is based on the occult version of Horus Lucifer in Christian esotericism. He was the first to rebel against the Emperor, like Lucifer was the first to rebel against God.

You mean Zeitgeist? That movie was trash. As someone familiar with various mythologies, I immediately knew they were lying about most of their info. It's amazing how many people took that movie at face value with no further investigation.

[@cuckoophendula8211]

@@franciscoscaramanga9396 Oh yes, totally. I remember being in my early 20s when I saw that and at first fell into a bit of a "better be safe and believe than be sorry" mindset, which is one of the ways cults can reel people in. I think what helped me out was realizing how emotionally manipulated I felt right afterwards, so I kept one foot in reality. Eventually, I rejected all the conspiracy BS when I had a few more life experiences on leadership activities (concluding that even larger systems would be way too difficult to maintain with routine meetings and amending trials when faced with Murphy's Law). Meanwhile, I realized how that documentary's claims about Horus and Jesus really omitted some crucial historical contexts like how Saturnalia coinciding with Christmas would fit in.

[@franciscoscaramanga9396]

@@cuckoophendula8211 It's good you realized that. I used to believe in chemtrails until I realized that, in order for that to be true, everyone in the aero industry, including every private in the Airforce, would have to be in on it and actively lying about it. A useful dalliance with foolishness, because it made me make sure I can prove what I believe. The big thing for me with Zeitgeist was when they compared Dionysus with Jesus. The Horus bit I could've chalked up to error, and the Mithras part I wasn't familiar enough to discredit, but when they got to Dionysus I was like, "Wait... What?!" And that's when I knew the whole thing was a lie. I tried to tell the friend who recommended it to me about the problems with it, but people like that just believe what they want to believe.

Horus is the same as Marduk from Mesopotamian mythology, as Enki is also the same as Osiris in Egyptian mythology. Set, his uncle is Enlil. Ra, is the same as Anu.

[@Tata-ps4gy]

Great video. I have a little comment: Cleopatra lived closer to IPhones than the Pyramids of Giza. The Egyptian religion changed region to region and throw the timeline. Seth was a very popular god in Low Egypt (the north) while Horus was popular in High Egypt (the south). Most unifications if the Egyptian civilization started in the south so Horus defeated Seth on mythology. But Seth returned in the north several times in history (most of the attempts ended in humiliations on that God). I hope I am right and, once again, great video.

[@dadevi]

Good comment. Set wasn't considered an evil God by all Pharaohs. The Pharoahs named Seti and Ramseses(I-III) all took Set as their personal protective God. The Horus vs. Seth rivalry was all about bloodline feuds in a line of nomes(towns) connected by the Nile.

Hours had the ability to mimic a person and attain knowledge and wisdom from understanding. he instinctsually had the trait/quirk in his genetics and once he understood Thoth he became all of the above, the one who sees far. Mimir from Norse mythology had the same trait/quirk and Odin was jealous and envious and scared of that power so he killed him and left his head connected to the tree of life so the knowledge wasn't lost.

[@Lok783]

Horus is Enki and Set is his brother, Ra is the son of Enki also known as Marduk also known as Zeus, The brothers are also known as Thor and Loki, Remus and Romulus, Lucifer and Michial also referred as Yawe, Apollo and Posiedon. Always two brothers who fight against each other. Strangely Enki is also Cronos because he's the Father of Marduk who becomes the king of the gods for defeating Urinus who is also Absu. King of the Gods is Zeus.
