I Try to Explain Egyptian Mythology

- Hey look I'm finally doing Egyptian myths like the story of how Atum emerged from Nun and created the world and the death of Osiris and the contendings of Horus and Set and can you tell I'm just trying to put as many relevant Egyptian Mythology keywords I can think of in this description for SEO purposes?

Interesting that Horus was described as feeble and weak but grew up to be strong. Almost like the Egyptian Royal line was in denial about the effects of incest…
“Our child was born weak and deformed! Do you think it’s because we’re siblings?”
“Nah, I’m sure they’ll grow out of it.”
The Egyptians were actually awkwardly knowing about what happens when you commit incest, and even some gods and a lot of the royals resented it, and still yet, at the same time many people did extremely incestual things. *cough* cleopatra *cough* married her brother *cough*
Edit: this comment is at exactly 100 likes please nobody like it!
I hate to keep talking but… lol. Poseidon’s sons Orion and other son Triton posed as a threat to the gods, so Artemis had to kill them as the great hunter she was. She pretended to like Orion better than Triton to make him hate his brother and kill him, blah blah I don’t have to say the full story. But basically, when Artemis was in love with her cousin, nobody questioned that? Not weird at all? *cough* incest

Can't be a chad if your spine is isn't crooked at birth am i right?

next do aztec mythology
Sounds cool
Would be cool to see that, never really find any great explanation about it

YES.
I would love to see his simplified Aztec mythology
I do like how Thoth is constantly writing as if he's recording history as it's happening.

If I had a nickel for every time a Sun God in mythology fought a giant snake I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Furry here; can confirm that it is completely normal for us to have a gun fight with our umbilical cord.
Can’t forget set joining them

why did you make me search it up

@@ZayAvengeRhe added a little extra seed to the salad
seminal fluid.
0:50 is it CANNON that the Egyptian gods themselves thought inbreeding was bad because the pharaohs sure as hell didn't seem to have gotten the memo 👀
It still a mystery how the brilliant Cleopatra who learned 10 languages was born of that fucked up family tree she had
Actually it was more because Ra foresaw the children of Nut and Geb would bring disaster (and he was right since Isis was able steal Ra’s saliva and create a deadly cobra to poison Ra. Ra didn’t die but was in so much agony. Isis was able to cure it, but under the condition Ra giving her his secret name, which she was able to use to get him to step down and let Osiris rule, which then snowballed into all the Set drama)
In response to said prophecy, Ra forbade Nut from giving birth any day of the year (and in this time it was 360 days) Nut got a loophole by having Thoth gamble with Khonsu the Moon God and won enough moonlight for 5 new days, resulting in her and Geb’s children Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys, and Horus the Elder. This loophole abuse seriously pissed off Ra, who then had Shu keep Nut and Geb apart
Don't think the gods thought anything was off limits. Its hard to be against something when your the embodiment of it.
Pretty sure many knew... Buuuut when it comes to securing power within the family or have some kids that are weird down the line many chose the former, cus surely the next generation will not inbreed (ad infinitum till they're conquered by someone else)
Yeah, these gods are smarter the Greek ones...
You cleverly went over the Lettuce incident with Set and Horus without drawing much suspicion, didn't ya?
I love that you were able to sidestep the "Set and Horus banged real hard and Horus let Set think he came inside him but caught his semen and threw it in the Nile and then Horus put his come in Set's salad so when the gods judged who won this round and Set claimed he conquered Horus by coming inside him the gods called to each of their semen and Set's semen responded from the Nile while Horus' semen responded from Set's stomach so they awarded Horus the win for sneakily getting his come inside his uncle" myth
yeah
HUH
what the hell did i just read
And I though the Greeks were bad
Why
Wtf?
2:09 I love how no one before Osiris acknowledged the fact that people eating each other was bad
As an Egyptian this is amazing.
Disclaimer: I am deeply sorry for my intermediate level of English grammar in the sentence above, I have simply failed all English speakers by using this insanely basic way of describing how much of a masterpiece this truly is, I deeply apologize.
This is either a joke or incredibly impressive
Im Egyptian too but i think your English is just fine
ok (sorry for bad england)
@@3ambeast296 is it true that you had an entire war based on a Monster battle simulator using rocks that was adapted into a trading card game?

Let’s go Jake back at it again with the entire reason I actually did research on Mythology and became a pro at it.
He’s the reason I did that too… I’ve read huge books about different mythology’s the past few months
@@johmlemon532 same bro!
i just realized that the small hieroglyphs at 1:21 say "yw lst z gam" which is supposed to say "you lost the game". nice job jake, use my knowledge of the egyptian language against me.
Top line is facing the wrong way though, so it could be read as "tsl wy z gam"
Wow that’s evil yet clever well played jake
homestuck detected
wow really@@Ven__
Came back to rewatch this after learning more about Egyptian mythology, and I gotta say, now that I know the context of "He put WHAT in Set's salad!?!?" It hits so different.
So, here's one interesting thing I learned about Egyptian Mythology these days
Remember how Atum suddenly turned into Ra? That's mostly because Egypt was really a kind of Game of Thrones with sand - in a smaller scale also. While rulerships conquered each others' cities, it seems like some of them got the knowingly good will of our big boy Alexander of conquering while letting them be with their own cultures. Nevertheless, they would share some funnies about each others gods, and that's when Atum and Ra probably merged into one, while being the "supreme and primordial" god of two different cultures.
In some versions of the New Kingdom myths, Ra and Horus are also just one character, but most of the versions I read, Horus took the position of sun God - and thus supreme god - while Ra was in his underworld daily trips. It can be really confusing most of the times
But we're talking about 3000 years of history that is mostly burried and, maybe, lost in translation. So we can be satisfied on what we got
Well religion just depended on the city and so when one particular city dominated their version of the story became the dominant one. Sometimes they just edited the story. It happened on most very ancient mythologies (Greek myths varied depending on the time and place) but it's very visible for the Egyptians since it's the chief god that changed several times (3?). Probably because the center of power of the whole Egypt changed like that.
Greek and Norse: What about Kratos?
Egyptian Mythology: What about amogus?
4:20
😂 Brings a whole new meaning to "tossing someone's salad!"
Jake giving the Gods guns was the best decision ever made
I'm so happy he decided to make egyptian myths as well
my favorite quote
"Whoa, whoa, I won my kingship fair and square through deceit and treachery." I laughed. You are a really funny person, Jake and I think you should continue to make more videos.
I love this! Fun fact: in certain myths Osiris had another brother, referred to as Horus the elder!
You've made some spectacular myth videos, and somehow this is the best one you've made so far. Outstanding. I can't wait for the next one.
1:09
Ah, yes, the knife cat, or as many would call it: The regular cat.
Speak for yourself, (hopefully) knife less human (?)
Accurate
very excited abt not having to re-watch old vids (they’re amazing tho)
True
It's nice Egyptians specified exactly how the gods looked so Jake can't just do what he wants
0:42 I can imagine the sheer terror of these people suddenly coming into being, utterly losing their shit
I watched this, patiently hoping for horus "special dressing" lettuce to be mentioned. I'm kinda disappointed in myself by how hard I laughed at "he put WHAT in his lettuce?!"
I think for once Egyptian mithology is one of the less complicated yet one of the most complicated mithologies in the world.
Thanks Jake i love your videos about mithology.
You forget something, You know the.... Lettuce incident
Look at 4:21 on the right
Can you explain?
@@Kat_dragon Horus unleashed his baby fluid on Set’s lettuce and he ate it unknowingly, it was like a show of power or something
@@spectra1_ oh……that’s kinda messed up. Not surprising
3:14 According to the source my history teacher got mythology from, what actually happened was that Osiris was not whole because his [CENSORED BECAUSE KIDS WATCH THIS I THINK] got eaten by a fish so Osiris had to retire.
He cusses in most vids or the characters he voices and there are very 18+ moments he doesn’t show because of demonetization i think?
Great timing, I am learning about the Egyptians in my art history class!
Apparently ancient egypt is just a furry fandom civilization
I- more or less i guess :P
basically yes
Pretty much, yeah. All of the gods have like, animal heads. And they worship animals, especially cats.
That about sums it up.
@@Lasanga95 Hello there most amazing person in the entire world.
Jake: I'm not going to draw Ra's dozen other forms
Also Jake: draws other forms
I want to see you try to explain khonshu to people who only know of him through Moon Knight
Yes that would be amazing
@@hadesuzumaki4425 like I know a bit like how he transitioned from a murderous vengeful god to a protector and is also know as another figure for the god of fertility but I’d want to see how Jake explains it in his comedic style and drawings
I was hoping to see Khonshu mentioned :c
Eh didn't really do much as far as I can tell there was that one time where he gambled with thoth because Ra was angry with nut though
I straight up cackled out loud when I saw "He put WHAT in Set's Salad?!?!" - knowing the actual lore makes these videos so much better when you understand the references
Yay! Thanks for listening to my request and making this funny, (but very very accurate) video, and I'm glad you feel better!
Imagine him trying to explain brazilian mythology
"Oh, we have this one-legged black boy whose ONLY meaning in life is to make other people suffer from anger"
4:34 *Set* with a gatling gun...yes, just yes!
it's set
Just a average day of furries fighting big ess snakes in. The watah.
How is this still more engaging, more well put together, informative and researched than Gods of Egypt!!!?!?!??
* laughs at the Set’s Salad myth *
Egyptian mythology was around longer than Greek mythology. The copying mentioned at 2:50 was the other around
That specific part is referring to the greek writer, Plutarch's recounting of the Osiris Myth.
Isis travels to Byblos where Osiris's body had washed up on a pile of heather which grew around him into a tree. The tree was then chopped into a pillar for the king of Byblos's temple, with Osiris still inside.
I believe all of that is corroborated in other authentic Egyptian sources, but what follows matches a section from The Homeric Hymn to Demeter to a tee:
Isis (Demeter in the Homeric Hymn) disguises herself as a human woman and meets the king's maidservants who bring her back to the palace. She's then charged with taking care of the king's son, who she nurses and attempts to make immortal by bathing him in fire each night. But the mother sees her and interrupts the spell, causing Isis to reveal her true form in anger.
This story structure is first seen in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, and as far as I'm aware does not show up in Egyptian tradition until Plutarch. So it was either adopted from Greek tradition, or added by Plutarch himself.
@@JakeDoubleyoo You are the first person to ever mention that and I am so happy you acknowledged it. I remember a TED-ed video and thinking to myself "isn't that just the homeric hymn to demeter". I kind of suspected that maybe the myth was some syncretism when Alexander or the Ptolemy's took over Egypt, incorporating their greek myths into the local religion.
@@JakeDoubleyoo hey dude, can you do Aztec mythology? There’s a lot to unload, and it feels like the next mythology to animate, on your channel.
4:08 this god was almost there but everyone wasn't living in the modern era
Our teacher told us to make a comic about Egyptian Mythology and I was lazy to read the things she gave us, this helped a lot!
cool.
cool.
thanks also I learned some Egyptian from The Mummy(1999), Prince Of Egypt(1998) and Moon Knight(2022) nice to get the whole picture
My teacher put this video on for Egyptian mythology I laughed the entire way through
Am I the only one who read the webtoon 'ennead' and now absolutely loves Set ?
NO UR NOT ALONE IM HERE
Brooo I didn't know that the webtoon I read "ennead" was real and now I'm interested
All of these episodes make me want to study on a lot of the myths/mythology’s
Thanks man :D
I'm not gonna be here when it goes live but I'm excited to see it later!
You get a subscription because Egypt is awesome. Surprised you didn't mention the time line nightmare that is Horus the elder, fifth son of Nut and Geb.
Toth is actually my favorite god, he is the chillest smart bird ever
hey! love the video, keep rewatching it since day one! please make more of egyptian mythology themed videos as it is my favorite mythology! love your storytelling
Now I can finally understand Stardust Crusaders!
Noice
Great video! It's awesome how much you've grown! Proud to have been one of your first subs!
I love everything about your videos (especially this one) and really really enjoy them, please keep making more!
Bro has a great way to teach about various mythology which is great keep it bro never quit this ur the best in these stuff
a giant sea serpent, a chaos god who killed another god who everybody liked, that sound familiar...
*coughs LOKI *coughs
I knew little to nothing about Egyptian methodology so thank for the video.
i love these videos SO MUCH
you are so amazing jake
Jake Doubleyoo, you are a genius! Love your videos!
FINALLY I got to understand egyptian mythology. This is the first egyptian mythology thing I've understood so far and I really like watching ancient egypt documentaries, so that's saying something. Idk it's always been super confusing to me I think mostly because of the different names the gods have? idk but hey at least now I got to understand SOMETHING
I love watching this channel grow
Perfect, thnks. really did not know much about Aegyptian mythology .
No really, I enjoy waiting to watch your videos it's so exciting to find out what hilarious and or witty thing you might say.
Like you should be a comedian or have your own SNL sketch. I like listening to these funny mythology videos, it's nice to play in the background while you're drawing and or doing your homework (but on that note you may or may not get easily distracted like I do and I having the dreaded curse of laziness.)
Uh didn't ra lose an eye because it turned into Sekmet and didn't Horus lose an eye in the events against Set?
Also if true, what is with Egypt and people losing their eyes.
As the saying goes, an eye for a God makes the whole world...
That's it...
Also, the sky.
Yes, Sekhmet originated as a transfiguration of Ra's eye, and Horus had his eye restored by Thoth after losing it in battle against Set.
seekhmet is also a form of hathor
im about to read kane chronicles so this will be a good way to get my head around the mythology first.
JAKE U ARE THE BEST!!!! i was waiting for Egyptian mythology for literly years! Im in love with there culture and my dream is to be an Egyptologyst. Your videos are so funny i just had to sub and observe your chanel to see if there is Egypt. And now there is! ❤❤❤
I love drawing or reading listening to your explanations they help me ascend
If had a nickel for every time jake got me into a mythology, id have two nickels. Which isn’t much but its weird it happened twice
I loved showing a self proclaimed wizard and expert of all things in Egypt the whole salad story.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SM. when i saw the thumbnail i freakin knew this was gonna be amazing
I really liked the video, a simple and interesting explanation.. Greetings from Egypt
Didn't Osiris miss a crutial bodyparr for resurrection wich was replaced by a wooden replica in order for Osiris to come back to life?
It was eaten by a crab according to a mythology book I read in 7th grade. The part wasn't identified in that book and I never really wanted to look it up because I don't want my hunch to be right 😬

I love this. fun explanations of history would have made me such a good student lol
i love watching these its funny to see what youve done with the myths
2:52 Yeah...
That is a confusing way of wording that. You made it sound like the Egyptians copied from Greek mythology. It wasn't. The myth of Osiris was already THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLDER THAN GREEK CULTURE, let alone Greek myth. It's just that it was passed down mostly orally and the Egyptian written records of the story were fragmentary and incomplete, so Plutarch took it upon himself to fill in the gaps. We still don't know how much of his retelling reflects Greek culture or Egyptian culture.
^^^^^
Hmmmm but they did copy from other cultures though, even if it wasn't from the Ancient Greeks that we know, it has loads of similarities with Mesophotamian myths and potentially proto Greek stories that shaped Ancient Greek stories. So you can't make it sound like it was all original because it wasn't
We need more Egyptian mythology
Your explanations are hilarious! Keep doing what you do best (it... it's this.)
Thanks for telling me and teaching me about mythology
Set needs to not skip head day
Fun fact, in some versions of the creation story, there is a fifth brother: Hamarchis, god of the rising sun
I can't wait for more. You sure know how to make mythology digestible and honest.
that was awesome
great work as always
This is gonna be good
can we get more of the egyptian mythology because this is crazy 😂
This is a master piece! :D thank you so much!
Omg yes I remember asking you to do this thanks!!
I like it
. Tho I ponder if and how often someone by now is thinking of the next line of mythology, or specific gods. Like chinese, native americans and so on.
Anyway. Good stuff!
Yes, I waited for this
Dude thank I didn't anything about this subject. This was an amazing video
You forgot the part where Isis spent extra time to retrieve Osiris' ding dong.
Bro I'm literally learning this at school
Well you’re about to become the top of your class.
That's the best thing i saw today, thank you bro
I have been waiting for this for so long
