afflicted after realizing that their children were taking a long time to return and fearing never seeing them again he sent his best messenger to find them Shu and Tefnut returned safe and sound and roz joy was so immense that human beings were born from his tears after a turning their children generated in turn Gabe the god of the earth and Knut the goddess of the sky and thus the sky and the earth were created the Great God rah sovereignly ruled the universe power and he was awarded the title of the first Pharaoh the god gifted
Egypt with several sacred animals like the ox and the lion but his greatest offering was the creation of the Nile River around its shores men would a defy a civilization glorifying the gods but rah had a premonition that his grandchildren would give birth to a new generation of gods who had put an end to his reign and so the Great God forbade the sky and the earth to have any offspring whatsoever but Newt and Gabe disobeyed and gave rise to a powerful offspring Isis neft Seth and Osiris they D throne draw and Osiris started to
reign over the world but the new God's throne was not safe because his brother Seth was eager to take all power for him sell and so the saga of Egyptian gods began [Music] after deposing the god raah the deity who gave origin to the Egyptian world Osiris became the new god of the universe the new Supreme God took the goddess Isis as his wife and started a reign of great prosperity Osiris brought civilization to men who until that point lived quite primitively the God taught them agriculture weaving and how to make bread besides that he
decreed the use of laws which would give order to chaos the Egyptian civilization began to flourish under the reign of the benevolent god Osiris however Osiris had a powerful and ambitious brother Seth his kingdom stood in the arid desert around Egypt and so he was jealous of his brother who had a fertile and prosperous Kingdom Osiris had an affair with neftis sets wife and Anubis the god of the dead emerged from this union angered by his brother's betrayal set prepared his revenge the god of the dry lands and personification of evil invited Osiris for a
great feast in his honor during the feast Seth gifted the guests with a beautiful coffin and said he would offer it to the one who fit into it perfectly Osiris decided to try it and immediately after settling in set closed the coffin trapping the God the evil God through the coffin into the Nile drowning the Supreme God Isis wept profoundly after losing her beloved husband and these tears poured into the Nile River giving rise to its traditional floods the goddess and her sister neftis looked for Osiris's body and Isis after finding it tried to hide
it but Seth spotted it nonetheless smashed it into 42 pieces spreading them throughout Egypt Isis with anubis's help managed to recover the pieces and under the guidance of the god of the dead she mummified Osiris using her divine powers the goddess was able to resurrect her love but Osiris would now reign over the world of the dead after coming back to life Osiris had a son with Isis his name was Horus and he swore he would defeat Seth the usurper of the throne that was his by right [Music] Seth the god of destruction had murdered
Osiris the God who reigns supreme in Egyptian mythology set took the throne from his brother for himself and unleashed his reign of terror nevertheless Osiris had generated an heir together with the goddess Isis his name was Horus this was a falcon god whose prophecy said that he would reign over the skies and would bring the light back to egypt ending the darkness brought by seth horus already an adult decided to claim his throne which had been usurped by his uncle the contention is judged by the gods while the court presided over by the sun god
rom decided who would be worthy to sit on the throne a series of clashes between Santa and Horus had begun Seth had Roz sympathy since the usurper protected the Sun God from the serpent of puppets while the latter crossed the skies set proposed a challenge to Horus both would have to transform themselves into hippos and should be submerged for three months Horus relied on his mother to goddess Isis to take advantage of Seth's vulnerability to kill him the goddess felt sympathy percent and could not kill him this betrayal enraged Horus who then attacked his mother
cutting off her head the God taught the deity of knowledge saved the goddess replacing the severed head with a cow's head the clash between sat and Horus continued for many years when fighting in the desert Seth managed to pluck Horus his eyes due to hath oars helped the goddess of love Horus had his vision restored the court of gods demanded a reconciliation between Santa and Horus the evil God pretending to be benevolent invited Horus for a feast in his palace during the night Seth tried to abuse his nephew making him unworthy to the throne however
Horus managed to defend himself and prevented the gods poisonous seed Horace decided to take revenge and with the help of the goddess Isis the God placed his divine seed and lettuce leaves which were then offered to set by the goddess Isis the god of barren deserts ate the contaminated lettuce poison seth started to deteriorate in front of everyone and a golden disc emerged in his forehead Thoth grabbed the bright disc and ingrained it in her own head Seth had been humiliated and that was when after 80 years the court granted Horus the throne that was
his by right Isis couldn't be more proud to see her son with Osiris assuming the Father's throne sets fate was to travel with ROM the Sun God of the skies and his enraged screams to be heard with thunder and so Horace's reign over Egypt began and all the Pharaohs who one day reigned over Egypt were among his descendants rah is the Sun God in Egyptian mythology this God is usually depicted as a being with a man's body and a head of a falcon the Sun disc is over his head he had been one day the
greatest of all gods but time wore him down and finding himself too old he decided to relinquish the power and go to the skies this God is one of the most revered figures in Egyptian mythology as the Sun God one of his duties was to drive away the darkness and to accomplish his work the God crossed the skies on his son boat lighting the whole world but when the twilight came he and his vessel plunged into the sea waters towards the underworld there he would have to sail through the dark world and cross the twelve
gates which would be the twelve regions of the netherworld raaah took an hour to go through each gate Osiris was in one of them the Lord of the underworld whom raaah always visited to pay his respects but before leaving the underworlds darkness the God was attacked by the terrible snake Apophis this force of chaos tried to destroy the God's vessel and each day the serpent seemed closer to accomplish her desire Apophis once managed to swallow the Sun boat putting an end to the sunlight in the morning but the serpent failed to hold the God in
her stomach and regurgitated him this event was marked as a solar eclipse however destroying roz boat became more difficult since set the god of destruction after losing the dispute of the supreme throne for Horus had been condemned to navigate with rah across the skies he helped the Sun God defending his vessel against the terrible serpent defeating it several times making Roz underworld journey safer the god rah was a figure worship throughout Egypt but this God was especially adored in the city of Heliopolis the gods prestige was so vast that other traditions of Egyptian religions of
antiquity merged the gods depiction along with the greatest figure of their own Pantheon's for instance the figures of the supreme gods a moon and a tomb were also known as Amun rah and a tomb rock the gods name was used by many Pharaohs Ramses is a well-known example his name means son of ROM or the son of son and so the Pharaoh would strengthen his divinity before his subjects Anubis the God with a jackal head is a deity of the Egyptian mythology connected to life after death the God is one of the most ancient Egyptian
deities and therefore his role changed as the centuries went by Anubis was already considered the main deity linked to death and the underworlds God but this role was transferred to the god Osiris the jackal God was also considered the god of embalming and mummification in funeral rites it was common to see a priest wearing a jackal mask during the mummification process the God was also considered as the protector of tombs and cemeteries there for protecting the bodies of those who went to the underworld Anubis is the son of the goddess neftis wife of set but
his son was not born of the union with her husband since neftis had been disguised as the goddess Isis and so she mingled with Osiris sat coming to terms with that act of disloyalty plotted against Osiris killing him and scattering his body parts throughout Egypt after Isis gathered all the parts Anubis helped the goddess during the Gods funeral ritual so Anubis transformed the body of Osiris into the first mummy Anubis became the deity that led the spirit of the Dead to the underworld where the dead would be judged by a court presided over by Anubis
the God placed the deceased heart in Osiris as scale and the feather of truth on the other side if the heart was heavier than the feather it indicated that it was full of wickedness he was then delivered to ahmet a demonic creature known as the heart devourer if the feather was heavier than the light heart of the soul of the righteous and good Anubis would take the person to Osiris and the deceased stepped into life after death in the period of Greek rule over Egypt the god Anubis was associated with hermes which in Greek mythology
is also a deity that led souls to the underworld this association gave rise to a deity called herman abyss which became popular during the period of Roman rule Anubis is certainly one of the most popular divinities in Egyptian mythology the God accountable to lead souls to the afterlife Bastet is the cat goddess an Egyptian mythology depicted as having a woman's body with a cat's head the Egyptians devoted great honours to cats they were considered sacred animals the felines had a meaningful role in the Egyptian world since thanks to them their food was safe from rodent
infestations also cats could scared treacherous poisonous snakes bostedt is a goddess associated with the Sun and because of that the goddess followed rah during the day in his solar boat crossing through the skies at night the goddess turned into a camp and attentive the goddess protected the world against the dreadful serpent Apophis the goddess was worshipped throughout Egypt doing harm to any cat was a terrible sacrilege the author of such a violent act could be punished with death cats were seen as family members and according to some reports whenever a house was set ablaze the
cat's entered the burning house to help their residents escape the fire sometimes these cats appeared to be dead in the flames but they returned to life thanks to the goddess Bastet emphasizing the popular saying of a nine life cat for being sacred animals cats were mummified and Egypt has cemeteries dedicated to these animal mummies according to some versions the goddess Bastet is linked to Sekhmet the lion goddess this goddess was violent and bloodthirsty but was tamed becoming a gentle and milk-drinking cat goddess in other versions bostedt and Sekhmet were sisters and roz daughters even after
the end of the worship of the Egyptian gods cats to this day continue to look man up and down hoping to have their deity acknowledged again [Music]
