The Ancient Egyptian Afterlife
Vložit

- There is no culture in world history that has been subject to more research and speculation than Ancient Egypt. The Egyptian civilization is an old one and acts as a direct link to history. While the antiquarian historians of today can be interested in a wide variety of subjects from Greece to Rome and from the Babylonians to the Achaemenids, the antiquarian historians of those ancient times would be just as interested in Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians were as old to the Romans as the Romans are to us. And as time passes, people die. The Ancient Egyptians knew this just as well as anybody else, but they took precautions to make sure the soul got to the next life in tact. The next life was said to be in the west and an ancient Egyptian who had just died was said to be "going west" and referred to as a "westerner". How the soul got there will be the topic of today's video. Ancient Egypt has always preoccupied the mind of westerners. But as we will soon see, the westerners have always preoccupied the minds of the Egyptians. Join me as I discuss the Egyptian afterlife and the journey to the next world.

I keep coming back to this video. The way you approached it was phenomenal, I love the holistic approach.
Nice video, makes the Egyptian afterlife a bit easier to understand.
So cool and interesting! Thank you! 🙏 peace, love and a whole bunch of light to all
"The word was magic"
Where have i heard that before... I think it was very early on in another story, you could say "in the beginning..." :-p
That's precisely why it's so good though, we don't even know.
Great job with the doc guys👍
Thousands of years later and humans still have no clue what happens after they die. Sadly, it's hard for most people to accept the most logical explanation that nothing happens after you die.
Or for some, terrifying.
Why logical?can you elaborate?
How is that logical
Typical arrogant atheists, there's no proof nothing happens when you die. No one knows for sure.
I am Kemetic pagan (the Egyptian afterlife and faith) but I also believe in all afterlives and gods. If one believes they shall not exist afterwards that is what shall wait for them. I respect all but I do not like or agree with those who spit on others. Religion is like a penis. It is great to be proud of having one but do not go waving it around in public and do not shove it down someone's throat when they are not willing. Is someone says this to me I shall walk away without even batting an eye. It will not affect me as it is not what I believe and your life is not mine. So mote it be.
The ancient Egyptians basically saw the afterlife as this life Part 2.
More like video game bosses. All those Gates.
more vids like this one please!
Great video, wow , had no idea the afterlife was so complex.......but understandable, since the priests needed to be gainfully employed
Also egyptian religion had 2000 years to grow and expand... it did not all emerge perfectly formulated and "thought through"...
@@Ugly_German_Truths Egyptian afterlife and RA journey = overwatch payload ride while fighting evil and snakes.
Really good video! You are such an underrated channel subsciber wise.
Egypt and Israel definitely have the most interesting history. Greece too . It’s so crazy how they came up with so many advanced ideas
this video was so cool! cant wait for my future kids to watch it, it’s so educational 🥰🥰😍😍😘😘🤪🤪😋😋😊😊😂😂
Thank you! Great video
🐝 Good.
Very informative
Blessings brother Absolute ❤
This will help me learn more about the Death Stranding
Well done thank you sir
Growing up learning about Heaven and hell was confusing enough now it’s a whole Egyptian afterlife
Yep!
Makes me think of Kaba stone and wonder
This would make a great game.
I’m kind of wondering which book Overly Sarcastic Productions used to make their video....
Sounds like astrology when only knew about the sun travels ..and it appears that the afterlife was next year to them...after death which the 7 through 12 hours aka houses in the sky aka fall and winter time #FLIGHTZ
Fa suuuuuuuuure!
Wow.. thank u
I am a Kemetic Pagan. I am to traverse and go through the trials. I know the souls of my loved ones those right now being my pets I have lost are waiting for me in the field of reeds. My husband is not going to join me. He is Norse pagan and is destined to eat and drink with his gods but I know he will be able to visit.
how do u spell this kings name 12:22
Thanks
The very advanced Egyptians of antiquity were a very Dark Skinned people, Ethiopian in appearance.
The oldest dated artifacts of the Egyptians depicted themselves as brown skinned with black eyeliner and black hair.
Nope, modern studies show they were similar to the Bedouins of Arabia. Probably migrated into Africa from Mesopotamia. They weren't indigenous Africans, only later on did they begin to mix with Ethiopians and other Sub Saharans. Of course there were black pharoahs and dynasties though, because of the Nubians.
@@halaldunya918 think about it this way, Indians are dark skinned. Hindu culture has been around since the day ancient Egypt was flourishing. You mean to tell me that India was originally dark skin but Egypt wasn’t? When to get towards India from sub Saharan Africa you have to go through Egypt?
Like Rihanna
We all came from the African continent so pretty sure we all that stayed looked similar in appearance.
The Ka statue depicts King Hor, a 13th dynasty pharaoh.
Interesting Bog means God in Slavic
This is the underworld and we are all traveling through it. A den of sourcerers and theives.
It's interesting that the idea of a woman reassembling a body and bringing it back to life can be found in many widely separated traditions: Lemminkainen in the Finnish Kalevala for example. A good video from an informative channel.
I really enjoy your videos, but the ads beforehand are getting stranger and stranger.
Today, it was basically a "Jews for Jesus thing", but it was completely serious.
It was interview snipits with a bunch of people speaking what was probably Hebrew. There were subtitles, but who knows if it was an accurate translation.
They were talking about how they've been lied to for 2000 years, but now they know that Jesus came and suffered for them, that he loves them, that it's a perfect love, etc.
That's all I could take. Sometimes I let an ad play out, in hopes that you'll get a few cents from an apologist like Prager U. But this was just Stepford-level creepy.
Anyways, thanks for providing a forum where I can vent.
It wAS Annubis Who found the pieces of Osiris, and he was said to be the inventor of mumification. 😑
Wait I thought Osiris seduced/just had a regular affair w/ Seth's wife also he trapped Osiris in a coffin, not a chest (he only entered a chest after being cut up), and he was cut into 42 pieces, not 14, and the bit about missing his *cough* genitals, seems arbitrary and unlikely. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
good job human excellent detail considering the Atheists

Kemet the black land .. Now called Egypt the way civilization looked before the Banking families took over and made it uncivilized.Its now a market and the gift of the whole world has been taken.We don't have to pay another human being for a gift, it's an insult to the one who has given us the present 🎁.
you must rest in the cusp
