- In ancient Egyptian mythology, Set, also known as Seth and Suetekh, was one of the five gods born of Geb, the earth and Nut, the sky, after the creation of the universe. Set was the god of war, chaos, violence, confusion, the desert and storms and was the brother to Osiris, Isis and Horus the elder, brother-husband to Nephthys and uncle to Horus the Younger, the son of Osiris and Isis. Set is well attested to in the early history of Ancient Egypt, and in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, he appears very frequently.
After Osiris became the Lord of the Dead, the seat for the ruler of the living was up for grabs and there were two gods who wanted the job: Set and his nephew Horus. The story which is known as The Contendings of Horus and Set survives to us today from an Egyptian manuscript from the 20th dynasty and it recounts the eighty year battle over who is the rightful king of Egypt. Set began as a god who protected Ra against the serpent Apophis to make sure the sun would rise the next day, but by the New Kingdom he had transformed into a god that was basically evil and stood for all the things Egypt feared and hated like chaos, drought, destruction, and foreign invasion and influence.

Can you think of any other figures from other mythologies that played the same role or had similar responsibilities to Set?
Huitzilopochtli, aztec god. The old mexicans made a temple for his cult in the center of Tenochtitlan.
@@correodebernardoruiz cool.... the aztec's topics puts me to sleep. The old mexicans? ...that cracks me up. some get insulted ...they claim aztec in heart....no Spanish blood was Incas or aztec as far as i know but they do seem to be descended from ham......i'm always looking to connect them over the years to the tower of babel. thanks
So is set/Seth is a nessery evil while apep is PRUE EVIL? Differents also there's 2 horus?
Lazarus in the bible
Mahabali in Kerala (south India) mythology where mahabali was sent to the underworld by Mahavishnu by acting as Vamanan a short man.
Before he is going to the underworld he was allowed to ask a boon which he is allowed to visit his people every year, which is onam festival in Kerala
This isn’t a mythology Set isn’t a good either
I've never seen Set as being against harmony. From what I understand, he is the ultimate outsider - the one who stands just outside of the harmony and order of society and symbolizes all that doesn't quite have a place in that harmonious order.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Set is one of the Neteru that I honor, respect and worship as a Kemetic Pagan
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I don't worship but I do honor and adore him. Dua Set!
Didn't know Set was considered the first murderer of Egyptian myth. Could it be possible that his tale inspired the story of Cain and Abel since both Cain and Set murdered their brothers?
Yes and no.Set is never specified to be the first murderer I don't know where she got this from
But no Set and Asar are Gods not humans like Cain and Abel
Maybe it’s first documented case of sibling rivalry.
Set is kain
They all are sons of noah.. ..set is also Jewish Selfpro-claimed god in the Dessert
Hail Set!
Slay The Mighty Set
Thanks for watching!

Wow. Excellent info presented w/ high Intelligence by a beautiful host. Great job Kelly !
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed it!
i love these videos so much they are so easy to follow and your so pretty too
Thank you so much!
Great video
Thanks, Travis! 🙂
Interesting
Really interesting! I actually knew little of Egyptian mythology after reading Ennead HAHAHA
Egyptian religion *
6:08 Now I see where the Persephone myth came from, given that her mother became a nursemaid to a mortal and tried to immortalize him!
My mother named me after him.
Seti means "Of Set"
Funny enough the word, 'adam', which is used biblically to describe humanity is actually a reference to red clay thus the implication is the 'red people'.
We've heard that before, very interesting indeed. Thanks for watching!
interesting
Yeah every 13,000 years the polarity of the earth changes and Set is the “good” guy and not the “bad” guy.
See Dr. Abd’el Hakim Awyan. Indigenous Wilson’s keeper of Khemit/Egypt.
In one version of "The Contendings of Horus and Set," Set tried to molest Horus to discredit him, but he was tricked into eating the semen of Horus. Set had one interesting difference from all the other gods. Unlike the other ancient Egyptian deities, who had silver bones,. Set had iron bones.
I Also read that one.....
Actually Set does rape in one tradition
@@Texasmade74 I read that variant, too.
In some stories, it's not just iron - it's specifically meteoric iron!
I want to see a movie about a war between Set and Poseidon
The Greek version of Set is Typhoeus
🔥🐕🔥
Thanks for watching! 🙂
THANK YOU KELLY ... YOU DO GREAT WORK

1: The gods were not believed to be "such-and-such-animal-headed"; the animal heads were purely symbolic of the property which said deity was the patron of.
2: I've never heard of Horus the Elder, so I'll have to look into that; that's interesting!
3: I wish I could see the books on those shelves more closely; I might want to buy some of them!
Also, the Oxford comma will never go out of style. It's proper, so please use it.
So the patron god of bird punchers & eaters (look up how falcons hunt) the elder. I think there was a nocturnal raptor.. low light avian dinosaur spirit animal... Super familiar...
🌋 🌲 🍄 🐿️💥!
If there was a peregrine falcon deity it would have the best pigeon knock rate in any pantheon, the hard boiled God of Duck Punchers
Duck puncher the deity... Versus the devine STD carrier pigeon/sperm dove, and Mary with a Cherry's kid... Maybe a feathered serpent, the other flayed, and a tree with eagle eyes, a squirrel tongue, and irritable snake in the bowels syndrome could ref/comment.
Wait a minute. I’m not sure about you, you did not mention the ARMIDILLO
Wasn't Set associated with Ash, the God of the Oases?
Yes, that's correct. 🙂
Set the great serpent. Similar to Tammuz who was renamed Cupid.
Jay Messed up myth. Cupid was the Roman name of Eros.
Set wasn’t a serpent that was Apep or Apophis.
He had several names in Ancient Rome, Egypt, and Babylon. Valentine's day was the Lupercalia in Rome.
@@Jay-n262 You really have no idea what you're taking about. Set was definitely synchronous with Ba'al in the Levant, but Egypt and Babylon didn't have close connections and when they did, they shared Amun and Shamash the sun gods, neither culture synchronized thier Storm gods. Tammuz was a fertility god who wasn't synchronized with Egypt, but even if he had been it would have been with Osiris.
Other names for Nimrod--Poseidon, eres, eros, Pluto, Zeus, Shamash, Hermes, Mars, Cupid, Volcan, Lupercus, Nebo, Cronus, Odin, Osiris, Wudan, Tammuz, Molech, Baal.
He is the Father of ANUBIS...
Thou shalt have no other gods before him
What about the lettuce?
What about it?
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia The lettuce didn't make it into this video. I've found throughout many mythologies that some facts are not recognized as facts, and I was curious why there had been no reference to Set and the lettuce he ingested, having been tricked by his nephew and then impregnated.
Set him where?
In the desert
Ale jazda rozwiązałem temat hieroglifów za pomocą space and tech 😅😜
👍
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia thanks
That comment meaned I resolved mystery of hieroglyphics writing theirs believes and meanings. They were very advanced in astronomy objects in space plenets asteroids called Gods assigned names to it and natural anomalies called caused power of God or fight of the Gods in the sky. Also animal faces that's Gods crocodile God of appetite. Global cataclysm is coming next year's they knowed about that tried warn us with what they drawed on hieroglyphics writing, you will see it with your eyes what I'm writing here this will be spectacular event.
The story of Isis in Byblos is obviously a knock-off of Demeter in Elusis.
But which myth is older? 😉
Could it be a donkey or mule looks like one
Lol
Thanks for watching!

Well, you’re definitely wrong about him symbolizing and representing “eternal order,” but you are correct about him once having an association with fertility. I’ll explain.
Even back in the early predynastic period, even back before his cult was adopted and assimilated into those of the Ennead (Osiris, Isis, etc.), Set always symbolized and represented Asfet/Isfet (chaos, adversity, calamity, conflict, confusion, wrongdoing, trickery, black magic, danger, etc)., and was considered to be the supreme divine origin for all these things. This did not mean he was always antagonistic or negative (though he certainly was always considered to be a dangerous and fearsome divinity). As the master and source of all these dangerous forces, he was venerated by people so that he would withhold these forces and protect the people, their lands, and their ways of life. Basically, he was prayed to so that he would not smite everyone, and he has always been the type of divinity who encourages growth and strength through adversity and harsh lessons.
This included praying to him to withhold infertility, which is why he was associated with fertility in a protective role, and why he was associated with fertility gods and goddesses whose roles were likewise protective rather than romantic. This was also why he was the divinity people prayed to when they were dealing with black magics, dangerous wild animals, natural disaster, and foreign powers, because he ruled over these things and could grant protection from them.
As for Apep/Apophis, that divinity and its associated stories are a much later addition to the culture and religion, most likely from cultural exchanges between the Egyptians and Canaanites. Apep would begin to share some of the same roles Set already filled, and Set as a warrior and master of storms would start to mirror the Canaanite’s stories of Ba’al as more emphasis where placed upon his more protective aspects.
During and after the ascent of the Osiris cult to prominence and the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, Set’s mythology was altered again to fit the narrative of the changing and increasingly anti-foreign society’s needs and purposes, being vilified as the murderer and usurper. During this time, Apep’s relevance within the religion and mythology diminished, and Set returned to the forefront of being the primary origin and representative of Asfet, but this time without many of the more positive qualities he was once known for. Effectively, he was largely demonized as a form of political-religious propaganda. Fortunately, several very important pharaohs didn’t agree with this.
…
Also, two more minor corrections.
First, the “Set Animal” is called the Sha. Oddly, Set isn’t the only divinity this creature is associated with (yes, there are in fact others), but he is the most prominent and relevant.
Second, Set is not associated with the griffon, but rather with the dragon. The Akhekh/Akhekhu is one of Set’s most ancient symbols and totems, representing his more dangerous and hostile aspects and natures, going all the way back to his predynastic origins. It could be represented either as an ouroboros type dragon (occasionally with some humanoid features), or as a chimeric quadrupedal creature with many serpentine/reptilian, leonine, antelopine, and avian features. It’s easy to understand why some people would mistake this later form with a griffon after only a superficial observation, but when you consider the Akhekh as a whole, including both of the ways it is depicted, and also what it symbolically represents, it is pretty clear that the Akhekh is a dragon.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
