- I hope everybody safely assumed what said "prized collection" was.
The version of the myth I based this out of was translated by Joyce Tyldesley in The penguin book of myths and legends of Ancient Egypt
I am really sorry about the one pesky pixel in the video, I did everything I could to get rid of it but nothing worked ): My computer seems to not be strong enough anymore to render without these "corruptive" frames, but I am activelly trying to resolve it!
Music used: Journey OST, Legend of zelda ost, pokemon OST, The ruined king game ost - Розваги

One does not simply make Egyptian myths child-friendly
Hahaha I did try my best 😋
One does not simply make Greek or Norse myths child-friendly either lol
The prized collection thing had no business being that funny, I am c r y i n g
Hahaha I take my censoring *very* seriously
*Seth:* "See! Our mythology is so bizarre!"
*Uranus:* "Hold my severed genitalia."
😂
"Oh hello Aphrodite"
As soon as I gain the power, I will challenge Jeffery Bezos to a hippo duel. Our battle will be legendary!
YES you have my full support!!
Doing the work of the gods
You do have the power. Close your eyes and summon him to a hippo duel 😊
Nice to see people making animations for an underrated mythology
From the sound of the story, I think that the Contendings of Horus and Set might be an ancient work of satire, kinda like Aristophanes' The Frogs.
It's possible! From what I read it could be Political satire reflecting a real life conflict at the time, but it can also be a full religious story which may seem silly to us, but was important to people back then.
But I also read that when theatre arrived to egypt later, they LOVED satire :D

Egyptians to this day have a reputation for having a great sense of humor. Doubtless, this stretches back to ancient Egypt. They're the same people, after all, who had a creation myth that involved Atum causing the big bang, through what we will call unconventional methods.
Mind you, they also decided that their idea of a disaster movie was to have a giant lioness terrorize everyone, only to be defeated by beer disguised as blood. I often joke that the Egyptian Arabic use of the term "lioness" is doubtless a holdover from that time (I don't know if it actually is, and personally doubt it).
Set: the incest expert
Horus: the "ranch" dresser
Hathor: the REAL sus one
"ha, this is really neat. amazed ive never seen this dude before today they prob have like a few thousand su- oh okay thats not fair"
how do you have less then 1k? this channel is worthy of way more, good work!
Aww thank you so much!! (: I really appreciate it!
For those who don't know: Isis had the ability to keep herself alive for some time without her head. She's saved by Thoth who returns her head just in time (Or a cow's head in some versions)
I love your voice, so calming and funny. Asjjfjsks also the way you did "prized collection" had me wheezing.
Hahaha thank you!! I am very insecure about my voice so this really means a lot [:
Thank you so much for making this! Both animation and narration are superb and hilarious, and your art style is so adorable!
I lost it at the "prized collection" bit... 🤣
Aaaa thank you so much!
A bit late but, ever since my class reached Egyptian mythology I started researching and found this, and I have to say I love the art you did on this one and how you tried to make it child friendly🤣😂
Hahaha thank you! :D making egyptian mythology child friendly is my favourite thing (which i don't really excel at :D)
so high quality, good job
Thank youu :)
4:45 Weirdly enough, in the older version of this story told from the Middle Kingdom, the "card game" that happened between Horus and Set was consensual. As weird as this story gets, it's still not as weird as Norse mythology lol.
I have seen that version, but I decided to rather go with this one haha
Its wild
And honestly...most mythologies are weeeird (thats what I love about them :D)
This is a Very great, excellent, King , Royal story Friend. Keep going
Thank you! (:
@@zaireetoYou’re welcome Sir lord Royal King best friend
This was really good, I love your art style
Thank you so much! (:
Egyptian wide wrestling
4:45 It would've been funnier if Set said: Do you have a Dark Magician?
I really like how the myth is written, you can get more information in English than in Spanish xd [by the way I'm using the translator on my keyboard to write this] 🍞
Oh I hope you didn't have problems understanding me :')
A lot of sources are in eng but i am sure that if you dig a bit you can find it it spanish as well 👀
1:50 "I'll try to make this Kid-friendly!"
Eh... I wouldn't call that "Kid-friendly" but at least it's better than the lettuce incident
Also:
*SWEET HOME ALABAMA*
Hahah I tried! There is no way of making it 100% kid friendly if you wanna have the whole myth untouched :'D
(at leasr its youtube friendly haha)
@@zaireeto did you know that Isis, Osiris, Set and Set's wife is actually brothers and sisters?
*That's a lot of Alabama*
@@Echo-nowo-meow-Meon yes haha
I mean after reading so much about just ancient Egyptian history i kind of stopped batting an eye regarding to myths lol
Great funny video and so entertaining! Keep up the amazing work 👏
Thank you so much!! It really means a lot
Your artstyle is so cute it makes me forget about the real horrendous mythology😂😂 Thank you for this❤❤
Thank youu! ❤️❤️ The mythology is great whatdoyoumean hahaha
Super interesting vid! Subbed, hope to see more cool stuff in the future :D
Thank you!
Naw i don't think I'm going to let me kid hear this until she's in her teens.
Wild 😊
thanks great explaination
Love the style that you chose for your artwork in the video! Also, what kind of bizarre animal head does Seth have?
Thank youu (: They actually are not really sure with what animal Seth is! He is most probably a mix. I think there was like an aardvark, antelope and such guesses? So I took a chance to make his face really long because i found it funny :'D
wasn’t it a jackal?
@@Thoth0333 I doubt it. Jackals don't have rectangular ears or a downward facing snout.
@@Thoth0333jackal is anubis
its referred to as a sha- a mythological animal, but its usually depicted as a canine-like animal with square ears and a forked tail!
Bruh euphemisms are wild 😂😂😂
Amazing video👍
Thank you! (:
Thoth and Ra is so cutes😊❤
Egyptian mythology is similar to "Yellow Book" lmao
So cute video!❤😊
Thank you!
This was wild lmao.
Oh my godnes
Goooooooood
Thank youu! (:
3:04 I get that you tried making the story as entertaining & simple as possible but that eliminated the actual profundity of the plot , Set is the impersonation of human's extreme ambitions even though it could spiral out of control meaning this part was the epitome of his character being fulfilled ; one he cared for someone else (in that case , his new found love) he would've brought the whole world for her ... Ofc, as long as it doesn't collide with his own persona and laser - sharp vision.
I only put in my videos what i got from my source - which is a translation in the description below (: I don't add anything else to the god's characters, but i am not also leaving anything out (as mentioned in this specific story and translation)
As Egyptian mythology doesn't really have a "canon" Seth can be a god and impersonation of many things written in many different sources. (:
And i thought greek mythology was incesty
Hahah yuuup
Yeah 😂 funny how he wants his mom again after killing her 😅
Happens all the time 😅
: )
what the actual f***!?
There gayness in Egyptian history???
basically in every possible history you can find
hell, even in mesopotamia
