Ancient Egyptians believed that in order to become immortal after death, a spirit must first pass through the underworld - a realm of vast caverns, lakes of fire, and magical gates. Needless to say, one needed to come prepared. But how? Tejal Gala describes an Egyptian "Book of the Dead" -- a customized magic scroll written by the living to promote a smooth passage to the afterlife when they died.
Lesson by Tejal Gala, animation by Silvia Prietov.
Ani: "Yep, totally a good person."
Heart: "What about that time-?"
Scarab: "Snitches get stitches."
Heart: "Nevermind."
Great way to sum it up 🤣
thats a nice way to describe it
but really Ani is just like weird cuz like y would he get in trouble for poisoning the water EVERYONE DOES THAT NOW!!!
Lol
He's not wrong.
Ani: "MOM! DAD!"
Mom:"Shut up and grow your crops"
LOL
oof
😅😂😂
That depressing after seeing them again
No one asked
Everyone else: Rest in Peace
Egypt: start cultivating!🌾
Think about why
start cultivating!
guess they like wheat.......... maybe they think the gods will make bread and send them to the living?
Cultivating your beer and weed. Lol.
@Neheb Sehetep Netjeru Sehket-Aaru What UP?
"Heart, the seat of emotion, memory and intelligence"
Brain: am I a joke to u?
Fun fact- They didn't know the purpose of the brain! In the mummifing process, they would store all the other organs in pots and vials, but they would just throw the brain out
@Cotton Candy yeah like every other organ
As an atheist professor from my country sarcastically remarked in a speech " ancient Egyptians took out the brain while mummifying a person but preserved the heart,( they cannot be blamed for their ignorance at that time though), for you actually dont need a brain if you are gonna believe that you are going to some imaginary place like heaven.

So, in the end, eternity is one big game of FarmVille
yup
Or Harvest Moon if you prefer
The job of harevsting in the afterlife is if you harvested when you were alive. So for example: Let's say I was a miner when I was alive, so that means I would mine forever in the afterlife
Ancient Egyptians believe afterlife is just like this life except there're no suffering. Maybe he was a middle class farmer.
So I assume that Yami Yugi also working for planting crops in the other side of the world.... 😂😂

As an environmentalist, ancient Egypt had me at "I did not pollute the river" as a measure to get into the happily ever after.
Yeah...they respected the Nile....if they saw what people do to the Nile today they would burn them...
Yeah they be angry even though if you washed a bit of your feet or fingers. Man they’re some parts of history that are good I guess.
And at what stage of your life did you exactly decided to live up as an Environmentalist?
Not exactly.... you could cheat your way in as explained in the video.
They should Respect the Nile after God Sent Plauges... Let the Children of Yasharel go .. There is a Occult Ritual in the Book of Dead ... That the Freemasons use in their Intuiate Ritual to possess a Person... Of Osiris..at the Scottish Rite Temple In Dc....

He went through soooo much just to harvest crops??
If the meaning is symbolic, it may have been worth all the trouble. There could be more to reaping in the afterlife than we imagine.
I think it means to harvest the goods which you earned from your human life, like reaping the fruit which are product of your good doings in human life, I think that's where the saying comes from "you reap what you sow"
Maybe leaders created the story as a propaganda device to give peons the impression that manual labor is awesome.
Danish maybe it represents him harvesting food and saving his entire country from starvation?

"the papyrus of ani lies in a british museum"
*Classic Bri'ish moment*
Yes. Everything lies there
@@ashishthesingh oml why did you say it like that do you know something we dont? xd
@@stefbackup many nations that colonized other countries, committed genocide or collected slaves. during that time, they erased a lot of culture and art, but a lot of times they loved the artifacts and wanted to keep them as souvenirs from the places they ransacked. Britain in particular has stolen countless artifacts from places like India, such as the Hope Diamond that was sold to British monarchs, which is now in the US.
Your right britain has STOLEN SO MANY ANTIQUITIES FROM SO MANY COUNTRIES Britain SHOULD GIVE EVERYTHING BACK TO EGYPT AND INDIA AND EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IT DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE THAT ARTIFACT IN ANY ONE OF THERE MUSEUMS !!!
@@runevi Ever see the pyramids of Giza? Ever see the Memphis or the Necropolis? They're still standing and will do for as long as the Egyptians are there to protect them. Why? Because we actually love our history more than you'll ever understand and it's part of our culture. Yes some Islamists want to destroy our artifacts but we'll send them to the afterlife before they ever get close to doing that. When terrorists are as prominent in Egypt as they are in Afghanistan then Britain can have our artifacts.

Anyone who follows brains follows people and government,but anyone who follows his conscience (heart) follows a higher reality
These old belief systems are so different from what you'd imagine, first time I've heard of someone working in heaven of all places.
It's not that different when you consider that this is one of the earliest concepts of "heaven"and "hell" even the concept of "judgement" after death heavily influenced monotheistic religions that came after it.
I wasn't that caught off guard by it. I one time heard my little cousin ask what they do in heaven, and my Aunt express loudly and happily that they will get on their knees and worship God for eternity. Some people see this world like radical freedom; they need purpose. I think it's scary, honestly.
UnpredictableSB, honestly that was one of the freakiest things to hear in sunday school. I definitely have many other interests than singing shitty Christian music for all eternity.
what else would you want to do, in the long run...
Fernando Romera I want to be conscience. Conscienceness in existentialism means the ability for free will. I want the choice to cease to exist. Free will is not a good thing yes, but It is MY thing, and I will willingly choose to not to exist. No God should take your consciences for it's unannounced worship. Of course, I probably won't have this problem after death.
Love this as an Egyptology student, but with two corrections:
(1) To call it the "Underworld" is probably inaccurate. It's more accurate to refer to it as the "Otherworld", because the Egyptians didn't believe in a heaven above, hell below type deal. Instead it was all the same world, except the Duat was only visible to those who had passed on.
(2) In regards to the weighing of the heart: some canons insist that the heart must weigh the same as the feather, so the illustration of the heart weighing less than the feather doesn't speak true of all interpretations. This is because weighing less then the feather somehow implies you are greater than truth (Maat), which is impossible. You need to therefore be at one with Maat by weighing the same.
I draw this from Garry J. Shaw's "The Egyptian Myths", which I thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in more to do with the Egyptian afterlife and world imagination.
Thanks, your review helped me be more accurate in my ancient civilization report on Egyptian afterlife. Have a great day!
Horus the Elder you also need to be one with the RNG
Why doesn't anyone call the Egyptian Capitol by its Egyptian name? Stop calling Waset Thebes Plz.
I actually knew these because of Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan
AncientEgyptian because greeeks and romans. the names of the gods are distorted as well. the names should be:
Osiris- Usir(e)
Anubis- Anup/Anpu
Amit- Amemait
Ra - Re (only time the Ra version was used was in names and words which contained Re's name after the stressed syllable)
As much as I love watching TED-Ed videos, they failed to mention the growing the crops bit in the afterlife was for the gods. And considering the Egyptians were the most religious people in the ancient world, doing such a thing for their gods would have been considered a great honour.
Ani prepares and dies to live for an eternity
*Egyptian problems require Egyptian solutions*
i mean if dying was so complex back then, then no wonder there were people who wanted to be immortal
nuni This was the way to become "immortal," seeing how you would forever exist in an afterlife.
@Flameheart from Thunderclan I think that was a joke

Getting chased by that giant snake would be scary as hell
LolGuy And a movie
yeah
In my favorite book, _American Gods,_ Shadow Moon meets Anubis. Anubis talks about the weighing-the-heart-against-a-feather thing, and Shadow asks whether people could actually pass the test. Anubis says "Usually; we used a heavy feather."
Much later in the book Shadow comes down with a mild case of death, and meets Anubis again. The simple test is written to be quite suspenseful without being drawn out. The key phrase is this: "Anubis had a heavy feather, but Shadow had a heavy heart."

A christian : i've lived a good life, now i'll just go to heaven
An egyptian : *i don't now where i am, i don't now where i'm going ,, all i know is that I MUST R U N*
"Temple Run" XD
how do you know youll go to heaven
@@Tommydiistar i didn't say i'll go to heaven, i said a christian could just assume after they've lived a good life they'll go to heavean
@@Tommydiistar Tommy I will try to shed some light. Pray the sinners prayer by your self in your locked room, out loud and feel the presence of God. Now that presence will give you the feeling of ultimate confidence because you will feel like your not afraid of death anymore. That is how you know you'll go to heaven. You start expecting it and thanking God for allowing you into his kingdom. Please dont confuse being "religious" VS praying to the one True God. It is written, pray in secret and God will open many secrets to you.

legba eshu legba eshu You mean Alexander The Great? Or the Romans? The crusade never reached Mesopotamia. European imperialism or other involvement was later than that. They might have been the worst, but definitely not the first.
Nope, Islam was the worst.
Those who look down on the concept of farming in heaven have never known the bliss of working at least on a small garden of their own. To smell the earth, to watch plants grow, and the satisfaction of producing something to satisfy someone's hunger is without any equal. In Ancient Rome, the powerful class from the senate to generals aspired to become farmers in retirement. Watch the film the Good Earth from the 30's, it describes the feeling beautifully.
Belmont79 but there will be a point where farming forever and ever without end will get old. Unless these people are allowed downtime or breaks whenever they wanted then its fine by me
Which why it's sad that people no longer have that much respect for farmers or even those who live closely with nature...
Yeah, but under the hot Egyptian sun for all eternity.
Belmont79 but the real question is who is telling them to farm and who are they farming for?
I would gladly. I love my gardens....
*I never thought eavesdropping is a sin until today.*
Lol, I said the same exact thing, like really. Not going to do it again
Different cultures, different morals. No one culture is right or wrong (compared to others).
SAME!!! Hahahahhahah!!!
It is a sin. If you're not religious then consider it morally wrong. People should be given their privacy
Reading comments are eavesdropping or not
The Sumerians & Egyptian Mythology is so beautifully constructed. The Symbolism and Mystical lore color their world so uniquely.
"They remove every organ except the heart."
I was told the skin was also an organ.
That's very technical. Nice critical thinking though.
Internal organs
The skin is a internal organ which means it can't be removed unless it's weak enough to be peeled
It's not. The skin is a tissue.

WHO ELSE FRICKING LOVES EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY? It’s a perfect mix of horror and fairytale that give it its twisted yet intriguing qualities.
Better than isreali Abrahamic mythology and semantic gods.
And the artstyle of ancient Egyptian art is so beautiful and unique, too, which adds even more to their awesome mythology
tending crops for all of eternity? sounds more like hell..
haha i thought the same thing
Harreh Pottah haha, well, no sadness. Maybe the crops like, cut off half your brain
Harreh Pottah maybe it's without any pain and you just always feel happy
For real
Better than getting constantly getting eaten by something, or being forced to push an unmovable boulder for all eternity
Why is it called “The book of the dead” when it’s a scroll?
Back then, books were written not the way we write them today, but on papyrus.
The papyrus scrolls about this process are actually called "The chapters of going forth by day." Especially since a lot of the Egyptians at the time thought the afterlife was on the other side of the world underneath them where the Sun goes when it sets here.
Yes the “Book of the Dead” is an incorrect false title for the name of the scroll as was mentioned in another comment on here. You also have to then consider if they have a false name of the title of the scroll what other falsehoods, twisted facts, and mistruths are they also spreading? Im disappointed with this TED video, usually they are informative but this one is misleading and the author does not have a clear understanding of the Kemet (Egyptian) spiritual system and Maat.

i think it would have helped to mention how the ancient egyptians thought of the nile valley as hevean and the afterlife as returning to the valley this time forever... no one now would want to be a farmer but back 3000 years and it's a totally different place.
Hagag Hamed now you will watch UA-cam in a infinite battery phone without feeling procrastination for eternity
I keep hearing that word.. what is procrastination maybe i should avoid it...
Hagag Hamed don't doing what you were supposed to like studying or working while doing something fun or relaxing or even nothing at all instead
Ah i do that sometimes.. but you know outside of worktime i spend more time modelling and texturing in blender and taking care of my pigeons than doing nothing... also i think it depends on what you spend your time doing on you tube...
Hagag Hamed I am supposed to study law but sometimes I just relax and just watch some few random videos and I can catch-up with my studies but there are days that I don't study because I am with extreme sloth and tired of university
Thanks, I was worried that I would have to die “blindly.”
Thanks to your tutorial, i am confident that I can navigate the underworld.
"Ani's Papyrus rests in the British Museum" What a surprise!!!
Actually, it wasn't a pure ostrich feather, it was the feather of a bennu (what we call a pheonix) and it's weight was equal to that of one human soul.
If your source is Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles, allow me to have my doubts.
I think that the common interpretation is that the feather is or is linked to the Goddess Ma'at, who embodies the concept of truth as well as order, justice and harmony.
@@samrevlej9331 The Bennu appears outside of just purely Egyptian mythos. It appeared to Alexander the Great when he sought out the Oracle of Amun at the Siwa Oasis and was also seemingly seen by future-Roman Emperor Vespasian during his time as Governor of the Roman Province of Cyrenaica and Crete, in the reign of Claudius.
When life sucked so much, the best eternity you could imagine was 'endless farm work''.
I think you're missing the point. Ani's reward was that he got to return to an idealised youth, working happily with his parents.
Without any sadness or pain.
because they were not as lazy as you are. They liked to work but for you it's a negative thing)
Such a dumb answer ... so, people who aren't lazy can't imagine something more fun than work? Even if you like your work, you should be able to imagine something you'd like more.
no, without work life is boring
Great job, thank you!
Fun fact: the Egyptians didn't call this the Book of the Dead, they called it The Book of Going Forth by Day. Our world is considered a dim, dark, dream of a place.
Major spoiler for Moon Knight turns out was released 5 years prior to the show
So this is the book used to take away Imhotep's immortality right?
InMaTeofDeath actually, that was the Book of Life. According to the Mummy series, the Book of the Dead granted life while the Book of Life took it away.
Ditto
I thought Brendan Fraser took away Imhotep's immortality...
rayn nope, it was Evelyn who read from the Book of Life
It was the book of Amun-Ra that took away Imhotep's immortality, you know, the golden one Johnathan dropped into the water while escaping.
Man, people are so entitled these days they'd rather CEASE TO EXIST than have to tend crops. Smh.
Alexander McGrath I wouldn’t just tend to crops, i would talk to others, have fun, work hard, sleep in peace and repeat.
Its better to die than have to repeat a endless routine of farming without breaks(that is to say these people you talk about want to do better things than tending heavenly crops forever )
@@fuckitweballin759 Where exactly is it said that they do it without breaks? That doesn't make so much sense considered that most of the time crops are just doing their own thing.
Alexander McGrath you are working with you loved ones and don’t feel pain and other bad emotions. For me it’s a good deal
Not that we'd rather cease to exist, just... have you ever tried planting stuff under the Egyptian sun?
Steven Grant would love this, he probably has personal problems with Ammit though.
When I was little I was obsessed with archaeology, and mythology or ancient civilizations..
This brings back such good memories for me!
They sure smoked a lot of questionable things in those days.
MedEighty Mankind has been getting high for over 12,000 years.
ACAY...and, sadly, creating religions as a result.
MedEighty Religion isn't really bad though. One of the main purposes of ancient religions was to create an understanding of the world and to allow communities to connect. It was to remind people of how we all connected to nature. Sadly, thanks to greed, power lust, and corruption that all changed.... *stares at Catholic church*

So being a nice person for entire life leads you to become a farmer?. Not worth the pain
Yeah, but you become a happy immortal farmer who won’t be able to feel bad emotions anymore, only good ones. And you'll be with the loves ones. And if you chose not to become one then you'll stop existing forever..
"but you become a happy immortal farmer who won’t be able to feel bad emotions anymore" Sounds more like a dead machine than a person. I think i would opt out and stop existing instead.
So like the christian heaven, you lose the ability of free will. Either you become an entity that has no will or you cease to exist, but in reality both choices have the exact same outcome, you cease to be you.
Good emotions are good because the bad ones exist. If there's no bad, than there's no good.
Nah, I think you can fuck around as you please because of that beetle-guy who hides your sins. Very much like asking for forgiveness in Christianity.

The only thing different with Christianity is that I can't cheat my way to heaven even though I pre-paid magical spells and tomes
well if you are roman catholic you can ask the living to pray for you and light some candles and you know donate money to the church and LO the priest will pray for your soul and buy you passage to heaven
Meiji Marts Many Barons and other influential figures in history donated large sums of money to churches for that very reason. Whether it worked or not is not for me to say, but that's the same reason why, even to this day, churches are exempt from taxes.
Rory More no church should have money, only people who devote there time and effort

If you're interested in the Book of the Dead, there's Awakening Osiris, by Normandi Ellis, which gives it a poetical point of view. It's beautiful, really, even if it's not historically accurate.
''With names like: He who dances in blood'' well thats catchy i guess...
We still remember his name today so that means something.
You can't live forever, but your legacy can. So choose wisely.
the most famous Egyptian ruler is one the least significant ones. Tutanchamon ruled only a few years before dying and being replaced by his Vezir Aje (pronounced as Aye). his tomb was so unsignificant, that it was forgotten shortly after his death, thus it was not looted as much as tombs of greater rulers.
this says something about remembering the 'important' things in history
Martin Michalik what’s a vezir aje?
Wait you said wazir, so I guess like prime minister or vice president
This is such a great channel… I can learn about history I’m interested in with clear and captivating animations, easy-to-understand narrations and actual information

One of the scene remind me of a dream I had When I were still a child. In the dream I walked slowly into a golden crop field and my mum who had grown old appeared watering the crops. We were both smiling peacefully.
Who knows, perhaps the ancient Egyptians had it right after all. It sounds like it was a very pleasant dream you had.
It’s the simple things in life that are the most precious!

The “Book of the Dead” provides a wonderful insight into how a person can understand that the ultimate goal of a man’s life is to happily reap the crops of his good deeds in the afterlife. Ani is the HERO of the “Book of the Dead” and truly what happens after DEATH continues to puzzle mankind since it's existence. The rest, as we say, is buried in the Court of Ma’at.

The narrator's voice is sooo soothing😍
Goes through all that just to tend crops forever, id rather be eaten by the giant snake tbh
You would cease to exist, if you went to the afterlife you would only feel happy emotions and you would be with your loved ones and friends, depending if they got to the afterlife as well
+A Welshman If my loved ones didn't get to the afterlife with me then I wouldn't be happy, so it wouldn't be any kind of a heaven at all.
They're not normal crops, They're Heavenly
ikr, i think fighting a war in the day and feast at the night in valhalla is better...
