Hey, WatchMojo! I have an idea. How about you do a list of the Top 20 Cutest Girls in Anime? I have some examples.
Examples:
Rem (Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World)
The Platelets (Cells at Work!)
Kanna Kamui (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid)
Yoshino Himekawa (Date A Live)
Filo (The Rising of the Shield Hero)
Sumi Sakurasawa (Rent-A-Girlfriend)
Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
Wendy Marvell (Fairy Tail)
Pretty please?

You fell for my trap
Top Ten best anime series of the 1950's and 60's.
Aztec deities would be awesome
Norse deities would make a great list
I find it interesting that all the movies about Egypt depict Anubis as the bad guy, but he’s technically not a bad guy at all. He’s just the guardian of the underworld
Like Hades, but unlike Hades, Egypt can pin things on Set and be accurate.
@@bthsr7113 hmm, true
@@bthsr7113 look up apophis and you’ll the real evil of Egyptian mythology.
@I only use this account when I get put in time out that is very true
@I only use this account when I get put in time out It's certainly weird to be afraid of something that will happen for certain but it's also kinda weird to celebrate death
Don't say the afterlife is so amazing, more people will commit suicide

OMG So True!!!!
I'm currently working on my fucking Sobek Build lmao
Wadduppp
me who watched yugioh: i happen to be an expert in this field
Me who watches Yu-Gi-Oh religiously: You know I'm something of an Egyptologist myself
Atem should have been top 3 on this list. He was a God.
Obelisk Osiris and Ra
me who read rick riordan: what a noob!
I always had a fascination with Anubis growing up. The way it was described to me was that he was like the fairy man into the Afterlife. He would make sure that the soul was safe that way so that they could get to judgment. Basically came off as very friendly and very helpful as well as very protective, and making sure that the afterlife process from mummification to the journey to judgments would go smoothly. So even to this day I find him one of my favorite ancient Egyptian gods.

Anubis, Horus, Osiris, and Seth are the most iconic

And Ra

We've had alot of that with Egypt
@Mango Man ethiopia in this case is sudan, where am from, but our people were kicked by invaders now we reside in south sudan. But yes it's true the connections are deep with sudan and Egypt and afew other african countries.
@Mango Man hhhhhhh funny black African
Egyptian not African and not arab and not black
@Mango Man yup, that's actually called nile valley culture, something no Arab or european has a clue about, it's like america and britian share the same culture. Same way with Egypt and Sudan.
Who else loves history/mythology list from WatchMojo.
Wow I'm shocked ,6yrs in the making I finally got a ❤️
This was dope. Thanks WM
Anyone else get slightly disappointed when a video on Egypt shows up and there isn't a clip from OG Yu-Gi-Oh anywhere in the video
Super interesting video! Thanks so much
I love anything to do with Egypt, really cool video. Keep up the good work ❤️
I knew these gods from Stargate
What a perfect start for the video!
If Ra, Anubis, and Sekhmet are not here, it's a dislike
Edit: "Black, canine head"
It's called a jackal, damn it
Lol
Technically jackal is a canine
@@avdhootbhatwadekar4954 tell 'em. They're trying to play smart here
I love mythology
You know, i remember once hearing a story about a guy named Caleb Weaver who claimed that when he was a kid, he was tormented and demonically possessed by the Egyptian deity Sobek there was an episode of A Haunting about it, and the fact that was possessed by an Egyptian god just proves that all the gods and goddesses in mythology do exist.
So one story a kid told that was featured on a TV show that probably has quite a bit in regard to fictional stories (and is also on the travel channel of all places), and to you that equals 100% true all gods exist? That's a bit of a leap you took there.
Or dude just read a bunch of Egyptian mythologies and got delusional.
Jin : Hehe
@@lovescarguitar Well actually i don't believe Caleb's story 100% but whether or not he really was possessed by an Egyptian deity, that doesn't mean that the possibility of the gods existence should be completely ruled out.
@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom Actually Caleb started encountering Sobek after he went on a field trip to a mummy exhibit at a museum, and the mummy in question was believed to have been an Egyptian priestess who worshipped and or served Sobek in life, and when the priestess died it was believed that Sobek was protecting her spirit in the afterlife and when Caleb got to close to the mummy, he must've accidently and unknowingly angered Sobek and thus started tormenting Caleb out of revenge.
Watchmojo makes a list about Gods:

Awsome work ! Love it 😘🥰😌

Amun-Ra...is that where Amen comes from?
the amount of comments talking about things not directly related to this video is outstanding.
Most favorite of these deities was Bastet the Cat Goddess of the Sun, the Moon, Fertility/Motherhood, Perfume, Healing, and Protection.
To this day, when someone trips over a cat they call it a little Bastet.
I remember a cartoon the was Egyptian themed Mummies Alive it was called
You forgot 3

And of course, Mega Ultra Chicken

Wow that is so cool and awesome
"Death is only the beginning."
I love your voice!
Anubis is the best!
Can we can a video like this for the Roman gods?
meh "Roman gods" as we know it are just the Greek deities Italianized (yet the Latins never had reason to worship them as the Roman Olympians were all useless)
the real "Roman gods" are those in the Etruscan pantheon, plus the _lares_ & _penates_ (guardian spirits/deities)
Awesome
So it looks like I actually knew 8 out of the latter 10 entries on this list. Osiris, Isis, Set, Amun-Ra, Anubis, Ra, Thoth and Horus are the ones I'm familiar with all thanks to the show Tutenstein. Who remembers that Discovery Kids show? I miss that show. The rest I don't think I've ever heard of so you've definitely enlightened me.
Remember, guys, if you ever see Sekhmet going on a bloodthirsty rampage, just get her drunk on beer and you'll be fine. Just make sure that the beer is dyed with red ochre so that it looks like blood.
Watching before starting my Origins gameplay.
Good idea honestly.
I might recommend seeking another video where all information is correct as it seems Watch Mojo didn't finish the research before posting this video
*suprised pikachu face*
@@krisweaver226 lol yeah definitely will.
@@krisweaver226 we all know what watchmojo is all about
@@krisweaver226 you’re asking them to basically look up hours of documentaries and then slug through a few hours themselves, in game, to finally be able to enjoy something, Relax, no one wants your key Mr. Gatekeeper.
I've seen both Jack & Daniel, tho from other shows (MacGyver), (Smallville?). Talking Egyptian Gods & no Stargate..?.. for cryin' out loud😅.✌️
And yet no Apophis/Apep on the list either.
Do a top 10 Egyptian god and goddesses of the underworld
I needed this after that episode of Disney's Hercules where the three Egyptian gods - Ra, Bastet and Khnum - were portrayed as tyrannical giants who wanted to destroy Rome
That was the only episode I hated. Mostly because of how it screwed up the portrayal of Bastet, as unlike her more ruthless sister Sekhmet the Lioness Goddess of War and Healing, Bastet was the gentle Cat Goddess of the Sun, the Moon, Fertility/Motherhood, Perfumes, Healing, and Protection meaning Bastet was yes a ferocious fighter, but unlike her War Deity sister Bastet only unsheathed her claws, bared her teeth, and took up arms and fought if given no other choice but to fight.
Attention: I'm having a snack and watching a video on Egypt, while doing my homework on Egypt
Running out of ideas. But it’s nice to see weird top 10 lol
Rebecaa your voice is gold
I already know all of these gods but I love Ancient Egypt and would see things like this anyway!
Also aside from Tutenstein a few of these were taught in I think second form history like Osiris, Isis and Horus.
They put Rachel Weiss from the mummy in the thumbnail. Excellent choice. Goddess level beauty.
That's what drew me in..
@@Gypsy-Queen The marketing team of clickbait think tanks at WatchMojo are top teir.👍
@@Christrulesall2 I agree..

Omg I love Egypt thank for making this 🇪🇬 how with me...oh nobody
I wish they should mention about Rachel Weisz, the goddess of Beauty 😍😭
Egypt is my country.. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hey there from the United States
@@Reaperguy67 ❤️
Do Egyptians really think highly of Europeans? Despite the west's racism to the African continent, and attempt to steal Egypt for themselves?
@@Human_01 at the end...... We love Europeans and we don't have any dispute.... Also racism is unfortunately existing all around the world...... And yes we Egypt live you.... ❤️
@@abdullahramadan1234 I'm not European, 🤦🏾♂️ I'm Nigerian and I, unfortunately, live in the UK because of my parents dumb decision making.
Also, that's too bad and it needs to change! Egypt should stop sucking up to Europeans/the West! It is SHAMEFUL! and disgusting!
I hear that Egyptians are racist and narcissitic towards (original) Africans/ so-called black ppl! Do you realize that eewropeans try to claim Egypt as their culture?!
Eewropean psychology is 'narcissitic personality disorder' + white-supremacy!
I am truly disgusted with Egypt/modern day Egyptians! It seems the country is still being colonised (seemingly by White-worshipping Arabs, 🙄).
Very good piece of information that people didn't know. I did though. My name is Geb. Thank you for educating. Peace 😃
HEY REBECCA 🤩👋😊
Thoth the ibis-headed god of wisdom and writing, Sekhmet the lioness-headed goddess of war, Hathor goddess of love and motherhood, Ra the eagle-headed god of the sun, Anubis the jackal-headed god of death, Osiris the green-skinned god of the underworld, Set the god of chaos and the desert, Sobek the crocodile-headed god of the Nile River, Hapy the god of the Nile's annual flooding, Nut the star-studded goddess of the sky, Geb the god of the earth, Tefnut the feline-headed goddess of moisture, the cat goddess Bastet, Horus the falcon-headed god of the sky, so many gods to fight if the God of War series goes in the direction of Egyptian mythology.
I know right?!
If forgot the name already, but the video mentioned a mischievous God of War with a Jackal head. They could make Atreus and/or Kratos that guy. Atreus is Loki and a god of mischief that leads armies into ear just like the god mentioned in this. It fits so well. I have magine Kratos could take Anubis's head armor (shaped like a Jackal) and that would be a good reason why this God of War had a Jackal head like Anubis.
Hey, WatchMojo! Can you please do a list of the Top 10 Anime That Will Make You Hungry?
Examples:
Naruto franchise
Dragon Ball franchise
One Piece
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
Sobek was featured in a episode of A Haunting. in it, a man goes to a museum on a field trip and sees a the mummy of a priestess of the Nile god and evokes his wrath and haunts and possess him until an exorcism by an exorcist named Bill Bean. the episode is titled Curse of the Mummy.
Heyy I'm Egyptian and we literally take some of this stuff at school lol
Name a Egyptian god that not well know
Not on this list
@@g.n.a4871 he is Muslim
@@greaterbharat4175 what
@@g.n.a4871 Ok sure I just wanted to let you know that the most popular gods are literally the last few ones on this list, the others aren't as popular, anyway, one of my favourite God's is Satet but she's not very known, her domain was the world's hunting and war, there is also Isis, goddness of moon and they associated her with making things alive.
Rachel weisz as nefertiti was treat to watch 😀😍
She's a goddess of Beauty 😍❤️
Reason to learn about Egyptian gods- It's fun to say
Anubis was the villain in the first Yu-Gi-Oh movie, the story is that he fought the pharaoh only to be defeated by the Dagger of Fate. on his sarcophagus states a prophecy which goes like this.
"the eye that sees what's yet to come, it's vision shall be fulfilled. unless blinded by events predetermined, thus light and shadows both be killed"
Yugi was able to find out what the prophecy meant as predetermined events is another word for fate. in short the prophecy says the eye can be blinded by fate.
Love when becky narrates
nice
Anubis has always been my favourite of the Egyptian Deities. ^_^
Can you make top 20 african god and godesses or aborignal gods
It’s very interesting how so many of the ancient gods have such similar names
Can you make this list again but accept this time can you involve Aztec gods and goddesses please?
How about one showing the similarities between Greek and Roman gods and goddesses?
@@nicoleknight9412 I already know about them but I don't know much about the Aztec one's.
South/central american gods on a list about african ones?
@@lcmk57 what?
Aztec culture originated in the region now known as mexico. Why would it be on a list of Egyptian gods?
Can you do this with Greek gods and goddesses i love Greek mythology
Should title this: "Gods Kratos will probably kill when he finally visits Egypt"
But these aren't ALL THE GODS
LOL
JJBA fans: We only speak of the nine glory gods
Anyone else here after watching Moon Knight?
Early Edition should have done more with the possibility that the cat on the show was Bastet.
Cool
If you like this video, you should read The Kane Chronicles books by Rick Riordan. He wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, and many more.

There is a handsome new book of 224 pages with 185 brilliant color plates titled "Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt" that illustrates in illuminating color photographs and detailed text the lives and beliefs of the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. Many of the photos of the actual tombs and hieroglyphics have never been reproduced before. The book ia available through Fine Arts Press.
In my opinion, Amun Ra. Should be Number 1 on this list. He's such a powerful figure.
He ain't even in Smite lol.
I agree to this
Is true that all gods of death from different Mythology are practically the friendly ones.
In Greek and Egyptian anyway, not sure about the other mythologies.
Probably my favourite out of all these gods is anubis. He's just so cool
Ah yes. Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the executive producer, and *Mega Ultra Chicken.*

When i heard the word egypt it always remined me of egyptian stye by carter
I can think of one egyptian god you haven’t mentioned right off the top my head. A deity so powerful, he’s the rival of ra, and was feared to the point that that the egyptians not only have no known record of worshipping him, but also didn’t dare pronounce his name. The egyptian god of darkness and chaos, apep. Better known by his greek name, apophis.
Do a list over ancient South American deities. Maybe even African ones too
Min being overlooked on the honorable mentions is a serious oversight. Lovely list otherwise. Wish Thoth would've gotten his actual name but good job on the pronunciations.
Hi Good Morning Day Everybody.
trust me, i have been playing persona a lot. the most iconic is definitely lucifer, but he isnt in this list for some reason.
Here as a long time fan of Moon Knight, the avatar of Khonshu tasked with defending those who walk in the night since the 80's
Also, another good God of creation that could've gone in this list was Khnum (pronounced as it's spelled, I think) he was a god of pottery and had the head of a goat. Carrying a shaper tool and a knife for cutting the clay from what he makes. Khnum was occasionally also called Khnum Ra, as seen as another part of or an alter-ego of Ra.
Khnum is best known for his relation to Prometheus in Grecian myth from how they both created humanity, or “man-kind” as it's believed that Prometheus fashioned just men from clay before Pandora - the First woman, was created (Big mistake in my opinion, making dudes first. In general we're quicker to kill something and eat it before asking if it's poisonous first. A real Look before you Leap or Don't bother gender in our bad moments but hey that's life 😅😂🤷🏾♂️😂). In some ways he technically could be just randomly creating people in his pottery studio if you think about it 🤔😂. Because it's never stated that Khnum just Stopped. He was never in trouble for doing anything like Prometheus did when he gave Olympian Fire to humanity, said to give us our first weapon and ultimate tool (both physically when we spark a flame and metaphorically, like giving us curiosity and creativity of the mind instead of being like cave men). And Khnum never really had any problems with the other gods and goddesses either. Although I think he helped Horus, or as spoken in the ancient Kemetic language - Heru or Heru-er, in his journey to defeat Set. But that's a Big maybe, the story of that mission is part of his Horus got the nickname - the Avenger, after beating Set for killing his father Osiris (or Asaur/Auser) but he got help from a few of the gods along the way. Including Nepthys who is said to be Set's wife and another goddess of the Nile (there are A Lot of Nile deities, like Sobek, which is why I'm pissed off at the geography of the damn planet in “Egypt”. There's just 1 god damn river. Not even like 1 river with a bunch of straits and streams, because of the desert. It's mostly Just the Nile, which is why the Greeks made up a River god for it named Nilus. But lucky them, the more island dwelling guys, have like 50 or so river gods both well know and easily forgotten like Achelous who was in love with the dryad or other stories princess - Deianeria said to be a wife of Hercules/Heracles and killed her/got her killed in his jealousy and lovesickness. Where the Fuck is the Poetry like that about the Nile gods?!.......oh right, Egypt was invaded like 10 times or something over the centuries by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantine, and was straight up occupied by Arabian kingdoms all up and down the North and then Southeast of Africa 😒. I bet even Genghis Khan or his descendants would've eventually taken it too because everyone Just Had to Have that Desert location in their Empires 😠 smh 🤦🏾♂️. One of the most Afro/Blackest damn empires to ever exist literally getting colonized by half of the world, and that's before later Europeans like the British, French and Germans started fighting over it).
