    for those of u wondering "wait Set married HIS SISTER?" First off "u new here?" Secondly its anicent Egypt they jumped their sisters bones by marriage all the time to "keep the line pure" Unfortunately it did lead to trouble as it led to infertility and pharaoh's such as Tut being severely disabled.

    Fun fact: in the ancient egyptian text "the victory over Seth" Seth gets described as being the one "who (already) fought in (his mother's) womb,
    who did evil, who stepped outside the (prescribed) path,
    who fell down because of his slaughter,
    who loved the fight, who enjoyed quarrel,
    who covered his face against him who is older than him,
    who created evil, who caused grief
    in enmity to the father of his fathers,
    who avoids laws, who uses force,
    who stands there as archer (?),
    robber, lord of the lie, ruler of deceit,
    leader of criminals,
    who rejoices over (treacherous) abandonment, who hates friendship,
    whose heart is haughty among the gods,
    who sows enmity, who creates destruction,
    the evil one who incites rebellion,
    lord of robbery who rejoices in greed,
    lord of theft, who creates rapine,
    who causes grief and creates wounds,
    who devises rebellion out of evil."

    Hello! Once you complete Egyptian mythology (which is something I’ve been interested in for a good while), could you please do some videos on Mesopotamian mythology? I just learned about some of the myths, and they’re incredibly interesting in my opinion. Thank you so much for all of the work you do!

  • @kitcutting
    @kitcutting 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Those three Egyptian gods in the Osiris myth were also color-coded! They’re also the “primordial colors” (black/white/red), the first three colors humans had words for, and learned to identify:
    Horus was the “white god” and represented the ultimate goodness and divinity of the pharaohs. White was also the color of the crown of Upper Egypt.
    Osiris was the “black god” and represented death/rebirth, fertility, and the colors of the rich Nile soil.
    Set was the “red god” and represented blood, as well as the chaotic colors of sandstone and the barrenness of the Egyptian desert. The crown of Lower Egypt was also supposedly red.
    The double-crown of white and red also represents the unification of all Egypt, thus uniting the concepts of both Horus (order) and Set (chaos). Pretty cool stuff

    One of the inspirations behind one of the Greatest Duelists in all of Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh!, Seto Kaiba. The Master of The Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Egyptian Gods. And his Egyptian Incarnation Preist Seto. Though unlike the God, Priest Seto cared and respected his Pharaoh and family, while Kaiba cares and loves his little brother Mokuba and protected him as if his own little brother is his own son. And of course both love and have an obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Kisara.

    4:41 i have a theory
    Maybe how set was born , he isn't fully completed and the results of his form being unnatural and mockery of nature
    That nobody should witness the creature that set was based on and cause the Extinction of the set animal.
    Actually now that I'm looking at it...
    I think Set was a type of rodent or with the mouth ,ears and tails similar to rats

    Does anybody else miss when John would say/show how many likes he wants? I know it was just a silly little gimmick..... but I always had a laugh when he would ask for a ridiculously low number and receive 10's of thousands. Somehow it made me feel good that there was so much support for your channel. Its been wonderful to watch the channel grow. So, well, anyway, I was just wondering... 🤔

    Hey Jon, you should do a video on the electric universe theory of Saturn. It's not direct mythology, but it is very relevant to mythology. Just a suggestion. Look into it.

    I wish you would do the real mythological Origins behind the helluba Boss and hazbin Hotel characters, like stolen and their version of lucifer. And even for minor characters like if they were based off of anything in mythology or anything like that. I mean I know it would be a lot of work but I love the way you do your videos and I think you diving into it would give us an awesome perspective.

    I think the thing that baffles me the most, is that these are stories supposedly from thousands of years ago! Who was coming up with these stories in Ancient Egypt?! Did they think the dinner story was a smash hit?! Who approved it?! Was everyone told these stories as if it was something normal?! I need answers...

      Its a mythology, it takes thousands of years and hundreds of generations for it to evolve in it's current form. Thats how civilization works.

    • @chrysocolapteserythrocepha5915
      @chrysocolapteserythrocepha5915 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Set like Ares is a war god and is associated with the color red and the metal iron. Although the latter is not a storm god, his sons, (Phobos & Deimos) who always accompanied him, is armed by Zeus with lightning (Phobos) and thunder (Deimos). Ares' Roman counterpart, Mars, is originally a thunderer or storm deity. However, the ancient Egyptians identied Set with the planet Mercury, while Horus is identified with the planet Mars (along with Jupiter, Saturn, and the star Algol).

    I looked up online and I found that Set would take on the form of the Greek monster known as Typhon, so technically he'd have the head of a dog-like monster; so, I take to thinking that Egyptian gods and goddesses automatically choose the kind of creatures associated with their personalities, whims or skills, early in their godhood: take Sekhmet for example; she is a brave hunter and fierce and potentially a ferocious apex predator, so she chose to become like a rogue lioness without a Pride as opposing to the Cheetah Goddess Mafdet, who is clearly protecting all she cares about, like how fiercely a cheetah would guard her cubs, but ironically she seems a lot less feral compared to Bastet; I have no better way to describe either of the two most civil of the three feline goddesses.

    The Set animal is a desert wolf, related to grey and timber wolves but went extinct millennia ago. They were an evolutionary offshoot that occurred when Northern Africa dried up and the Sahara was created. Btw, I totally just made that up based on nothing but my pre-conceived notions; kinda like Zahi Hawass.
