    Ancient Egyptians were some of the most religious people to inhabit the Earth. Because their knowledge was only a sliver of what we know today, they feared many things and had a strong belief in the supernatural. From this belief sprang a host of Ancient Egyptian gods. If there was a situation or a place which could have its own god, more likely than not there was one. While most of the deities were local presences, some such as Ra, Osiris, and Thoth were elevated to a national stage.
    In this list, we've dug up - well, not literally; we'll leave that for the archaeologists and grave robbers - these fascinating facts about the Ancient Egyptian gods and religious systems. Religion in Ancient Egypt wasn't so different from religion today with its focus on doing good and earning a place in the afterlife. Though it may seem complex and extensive, the religion was rather flexible, evolving based on the personal practices of the ruling Pharaoh. Egyptian gods often had both human and animistic traits, making them quite memorable and recognizable. Find out some of the amazing things we know about the Ancient Egyptians in this list of 25 Facts About Ancient Egyptian Gods That You Probably Didn't Know.

    Like many young religious traditions, religion in pre-dynastic Egypt was mostly animistic, making various animals, plants, or things the homes of spirits.
    Many of today's well-known Egyptian gods harken back to the animistic times. Take Anubis, the god of funerals and death. He is depicted with the head of a jackal since the animals often were seen at the desert's edge where Egyptians buried their dead.
    Good news for Gator fans: the Ancient Egyptians had a gator god! (Well, technically he had a Nile crocodile head.) Sobek was one of the most powerful and longest lasting gods. As guardian of waterways, Sobek enjoyed eating flesh, like most crocodiles. To show reverence, many Ancient Egyptian temples kept live crocs in pools.
    Though the Ancient Egyptians had over 2,000 gods, most were only known locally in small parts of the empire.
    Just like we have multiple branches of Christianity today - Catholicism, Methodism, Eastern Orthodox, etc. - Ancient Egyptians also had multiple schools of religious thought, each claiming it was superior to the others.
    The sun god Ra has one of the most interesting stories among all the Ancient Egyptian gods. Every night, it is said this god was eaten by Nut, the sky goddess, only to be reborn the following sunrise.
    The worship of Egyptian gods was one of the most durable religions in the world, lasting over 3,000 years. In contrast, Buddhism has been around for only 2,500; Christianity for 2,000; and Mormonism for 200 years.
    Whenever a new pharaoh took power, he would often promote the local god from his school of thought to be the primary national god. For example, when power shifted to Thebes during the Middle Kingdom years (2000 BC to 1700 BC), Amun became the national god after fusing with Ra to become Amun-Ra.
    Beyond originating from Ancient Egyptians' animistic beliefs, the incorporation of animal features in gods had another important use: showing the deity's mood. If a god was enraged, its head may have been depicted as a fearsome lion; if calm and gentle, it may have had a cat's head instead.
    The gods were most often portrayed with a human body and animal head. Images of an animal body and human head were often used to represent kings.

    I used to be obsessed with Egypt throughout my childhood. The first time I saw hieroglyphs was a museum trip when I was 3 & my dad told me it's writing, I had to learn and understand it. A year later I was learning the history of Egypt in year 1, the combination starting a decade long obsession with Egyptology. Around the same time I had similar obsessions with astronomy, physics, sci-fi, computing, comics and gaming, myths and legends, and mechanics and engineering. All of them, apart from the Egyptology, are now qualifications I have or ones I'm getting and hobbies/obsessions.

      That is actually a common theme in polytheistic pantheons. As don't mess with that one as the lead god is; there is almost always a female entity that is contented to let him believe that none would dare oppose him. One of my favourites is Kali. Long story short She went mama bear on this demon that was quite possibly the inspiration for DC Comics' Lobo, and the only thing left of him is that story.

    • @Raz.C
      @Raz.C Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah, she was my aunt. What is often left out of that story is that the "Battle" wasn't a physical contest of might and martial prowess, but rather Isis was fuming, yelling and screaming at Ra who became terrified of her, utterly unable to stand against her in any way, shape or form. Her voice was her greatest gift to the women of Egypt; No man can oppose an angry Egyptian woman. It's powerful magic, old magic and enduring magic. Even though she's passed on now, her gifts and enchantments remain.

      The plagues were actually a giant up yours to ten or so if the most prominent Egyptian gods.

    • @Raz.C
      @Raz.C Před 3 lety +1

      @@getonthelist5620
      Yes, but we know that the story of the plagues, as with all the fantastical tales in the bible are mythological and entirely fictional. Much of the bible was in fact plagiarised from Egyptian, Babylonian and Greek primary sources and other, older traditions, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh.
      Ps: I'm not actually Pagan and I don't ascribe to any religion. If I were forced to adopt one, however, I believe I'd go with the Roman tradition; The Roman Gods empowered the city of Rome for over a thousand years (753 BC through to 450-ish AD) so effectively, that the senatus populusque romanus (SPQR) was able to conquer most of the known world, unifying the savage frontiers and bringing order, development and growth.
      In a strange twist of fate, once the Romans turned their backs on the Roman Gods and adopted the imaginary God of the bible, Rome became irrelevant (Roman Empire capital moved to Constantinople in ~300 AD). A mere 30-ish years later, christianity became the 'official' religion of the Roman Empire and the fate of the Empire was sealed, doomed to die.
      The Empire that spanned a thousand years turned its back on the Gods that made it mighty and then less than 200 years later, Rome was sacked and conquered, the Empire fractured and fallen.
      THAT is why I'd choose the ancient Roman tradition over any other religion (if I HAD to choose one). Well, that AND the orgies...

      @@Raz.C becoming a legend does not invalidate a story. Your diction gives me the impression that you know at least one or two stories about Johnny Appleseed. It's entirely probable that the stories are exaggerated. That doesn't change the fact that agriculture blossomed (my apologies) in North America as an industry, in part; because somebody went around declaring that one could grow apple trees just about anywhere there was dirt.
      The stories in the Judeo-Christan bible have probably been changed and revised to fit contemporary agendas more often than some would like to admit. That doesn't mean that they are impossible things with no truth to them.
      Your life is yours to live, but my advice is that you recognise that there is a difference between not believing and disbelieving.

    • @Raz.C
      @Raz.C Před 3 lety +1

      @@getonthelist5620
      Firstly, never apologise for being punny. It's never necessary. To laugh is human, to Pun is Divine!
      Secondly, while I've heard of Johnny Appleseed, as an Australian, that's all I've heard- his name. I know nothing of his exploits beyond some vague recollection of them pertaining to apple trees and buffalo?
      Lastly, I am indeed both aware and familiar with the subtle difference between 'not believing x' and 'believing x to be false.' When it comes to any fantastical (read: supernatural) claim of any religion, I've no reason to believe said claims and no evidence that would sway me from this position. In the same way that I have no reason to believe the fantastical parts of the Harry Potter novels to be true and accurate accountings of actual events, I also have no reason to believe that the fantastical tales told in the bible could be a genuine account of actual events.
      Furthermore, I have no evidence that might sway me from this position. No evidence that might bolster the credibility and believability of the supernatural parts of Harry Potter, nor those of the bible. All the while, there are mundane events described that I have no reason to doubt. For example, I have no reason to doubt that there really is a 'Kings Cross Station' and that London really does exist. Similarly, I have no problems accepting that Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, etc are all real places that either existed or that still exist.
      Yet the inclusion of real and actual places in the Harry Potter narrative (mundane things) has no impact on the truth of claims made about wizardry, spells, Hogwarts, etc (the supernatural things). Similarly, while the bible also contains mentions and references to real and actual places and events, such mentions that delve only into the mundane are entirely acceptable and I have no reason to doubt them. Yet these mundane events/ people/ places in no way serve to bolster the believability of the supernatural claims.
      So, while I might jokingly pretend that the Roman religions or that of the ancient Egyptians were real and true and that the christian and/ or islamic faiths are definitely false, that's not my actual position. My actual position is that there's no more evidence for the truth of the christian faith than there is for the truth of the islamic/ Hindu/ Germanic/ ancient Egyptian/ ancient Roman/ Jewish/ Zoroastrian faiths, etc... Without good, convincing evidence made in support of the claims promulgated by any religion (past or present), we've no reason to accept these claims. To do otherwise would be to do ourselves a disservice.
      Sorry if that dragged overlong. I kinda got into a thing then it just kept on going... Anyway, I hope that made sense and that I didn't mangle any of the concepts I was trying to convey. Cheers mate.

      @@Raz.C it's important for me to acknowledge that this discourse is delightful. You really seem to have thought about your stances. That quite honestly brightens my day, so thank you for engaging your brain before making your reply. If that means it takes you more than 140 characters to express a nuanced view of a complex subject; there is no shame in that.
      My response goes on for a bit hopefully it will be as much fun to read as it was to write.
      With that in mind, my part in this conversation is not an attempt to change your views, your stances or your beliefs. You being you is one of the great things about this exchange.
      In response:
      Yes, Johnny Appleseed is pretty much a legend about a weirdo that went around planting trees. The legend was also used as a marketing tool. The stories were used to advance the notion that North America was an ideal place for farming. The point was that if you need something grown there was lots of arable land there that practically did the growing for you. One could just drop seeds and even the most difficult crops would spring forth like magic. That inspired the rich to buy land so that they could become wealthy. It also inspired the middle class to seek opportunities working for the wealthy in the hopes of some day becoming rich. In turn, this encouraged the poor and the destitute to chase middle class dreams, by going there too. The thought was that if some oddball with a pot for a hat could farm there; how hard could it be? No one took into account that most of the people who told the tale of Johnny Appleseed also sold stuff like: land, seeds and farming equipment. It was just like how Coke dressed up Santa to look like their logo. That doesn't mean that there was never a really awesome guy in Turkey that liked to make people's lives a little more bearable by sharing what he felt was an excess of personal wealth.
      My point is that, just like having some truth doesn't make something completely true; having some clear lies does not make something a total lie.
      For example, the bunyip are probably not savage predators that prowl the swamps in search of unwary victims. They might simply be a semiacquatic sloth species. If anybody knows; they haven't told me. There are several people who have seen things in the swaps, and those stories had to come from somewhere. They may not be true, but there is something to them.
      Also
      Even if you did not recognise it as such, there is a lot more evidence for supernatural stuff than one might assume.
      Just look at the Roman pantheon. Their personalities and goings-on are probably the strongest pieces of evidence that those stories are quite likely based on people that existed in some way. Human history indicates that 12 people with that much power and influence would getup to exactly that sort of fcukery.
      As far as religious stuff goes, new discoveries are happening all the time. One of my favourites is the Flood. Every culture has a flood story. Skeptics love to claim that the Earth's surface water is insufficient to ever have submerged the land masses. Recently, someone (Steven Jacobsen) found an underground ocean that could drown the world all by itself.
      One more thing
      If you liked Harry Potter; read The Magicians by Lev Grossman. It's like a grown up version Harry Potter, with: sex, drugs and pop culture references. That is just the first book. The second book involves a journey to a magical land that is like Narnia on heroin. Then the last book got really outrageous.
      On the other hand, you do not want to get caught up in connecting real world events to the Harry Potter timeline. Do not under any circumstances look into the similarities between Xenophilus Lovegood and J. K. Rowling. You would be better off accepting a puzzle box from a guy with a lattice of spikes in his skull.

    Most likely, I think Set's (or Seth) head was something of Egyptian imagination. The Egyptians believed Set also caused strange accurences such as lightning and solar eclipses.
    Therefore, they equated a strange head shape with his role of causing unsual things.

Ammit name is derived from the sound mothers make trying to get their little children to eat, “Ammmm Mmmmmmah mah mah”. Fun things you learn studying in Egypt.

    +list25 Mike, love watching your videos. Gotta set the record straight, tho'. Animism or animistic belief does NOT include the worship of animals. I believe in animism which is the belief that EVERYTHING has essence, spirit, call it what you will. We believe everything lives in one way or another. The word refers to animated more than animal. Every blade of grass has a consciousness, every rock gives off energy to greater or lesser degrees (crystal i.e.)

    There is a newly published book titled "Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt" that explores and explains the many Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt from the perspective of author and photographer Jacqueline Thurston. With a deep and abiding interest in the psychoanalytic roots of symbol and metaphor, and “illustrated” with her own photographs, Thurston takes us where few have ever ventured. Many of the Deities in this handsome book have never before been reproduced. The book is 224 pages with 185 brilliant color plates and is available at www.fineartspress.com

    When people say that Akhenaton may have been the first monotheist it should be noted that it comes with asterisk because he made it perfectly clear that only he and his family could worship Aton and the only way his people could worship Aton was by worshiping him and his family so technically that's more than one and therefore polytheistic.

    Let's see...
    25: I knew that. Cats, hippos, crocs, and birds. Lots of birds.
    24: I knew that. And... let's see, Horus and Ra were falcons, Bast was a cat, and there are many more I can't remember.
    23: I knew that.
    22: I figured that there'd be minor gods, but I didn't know that there were, what did he say, over 2000?
    21: I didn't know that, but it makes sense. With a huge empire like Egypt, there'd be many branches of religion.
    20: I thought his story was that he went in the Underworld and fought Apophis every night and returned in the morning. It's still cool, and considering Fact 21, maybe it's from a different version of Ancient Egyptian belief.
    19: I knew that the Ancient Egyptian culture lasted a long time, but I didn't know that fact about Buddhism.
    18: I did not know that. Cool.
    17: I thought that was just fro Bast, the cat goddess. But, it makes sense.
    16: I knew that.
    15: I knew about the ankh and what it represents, but I didn't know that the gods were depicted holding it.
    14: I did not know that.
    13: Love the pun, and I did not know that he was the god of all that stuff. I thought he was just a very powerful and friendly spirit that scared away evil spirits and deities.
    12: Of course it was polytheistic! But I didn't know that at one point, the culture worshipped only one god.
    11: I knew that there were demons, but I only know of 2: Apophis and Ahmet
    10: I knew that. In fact, wasn't the scarab one of Ra's sacred animals?
    9: I knew that the Greek and Egyptian cultures crossed over for a while because of Alexander the Great, but not that many comparisons were made.
    8: I knew that. But... wasn't Tefnut Geb's daughter? *sigh* I guess Ancient Greek myths aren't the only ones with incest.
    7: I knew that. And, it's not any feather, but The Feather of Truth.
    6: I knew Bast (or as he said, Bastet) was a cat goddess, but I didn't know that the Ancient Egyptians mummified cats.
    5: I did not know that.
    4: I did not know that.
    3: I knew that there were countless statues of the gods, but I did not know that they dressed the statues.
    2: I knew that.
    1: I knew that the Eye of Horus represented protection, and evolved into the Rx symbol, but not the Eye on the American Seal.
    Considering that all my knowledge of Ancient Egypt came from a fiction series by Rick Riordan, I think I knew a lot.

      This video is a little on the conservative side. Really, it can be confidently said that the Ancient Egyptian religion lasted at least 4000 years. That is, this is the time frame for which we have artistic & written evidence, so very probably it lasted for longer than that, but we don't have written evidence, as they were not writing yet.
      The same goes for the aboriginals. It can't be said with any great certainty how long the Aboriginal religion lasted (let-alone that it was, indeed, one continuous, contiguous religion) because they never developed a writing system.

    i always thought that Seth was the god of Chaos, Desert and... wait for it... Storm.
