I love how he just stands there menacingly
That was an incredible journey through Egyptian history and art!!! What more can I say? ...Medjed rules!!!
No medjed sus

Allegedly, Medjed was actually the one responsible for the annual flood of the Nile, directing Hapi to do so. If it commanded a widely celebrated God of the Nile, Medjed must have been a pretty big deal. Thank you Medjed.
Sussy impostor

I loved Ms Cariddi's reading that small verse from the Book of the Dead! I'd love to listen to her read more of it.
This is utterly wonderful. Thanks and congratulations to the OI for sharing this with the world.
*OH MY GOD WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT SWITCH TO NEW COMMENTS*
i accidentally changed :/
this is the worst mistake in my life

Surely Medjed is a thunder god/demon? He rings the sky with that peculiar tropical lightning that is like ghostly flames. He announces the Nile flood with thunder but is not seen. He smites so strongly that the sound can be heard from miles away. I believe some translations have that he shoots rays of light from his eye, lightning bolts, perhaps?
Could his attire be a bag with a cloth tie? Like the bag of winds in Greek mythology? If it is to do with jars then I think it is like the cloth cover of the jar, a containment, a control to ensure his power does not escape without guidance.
Ishiguro/Adam.
@@patrickbrownrigg1058 Eh?
Looks like r2d2 covered with a sheet/cloth 🤷♀️
medjed isn’t a god or a demon, he’s an imposter *among us.*
You hit bullseye on the containment part, well done
I'm doing a class project about an egyptian deity and chose Medjed. This video helped me a lot because i didn't find anything on importance in Google
I'm Egyptian and this is so cute 😫💗
you are my biggest fan I love your videos
This was lovely. Thank you.
I'm glad I found Medjed in the internet today.
Amogus
So fascinating. Thanks for sharing this!
amogus god
Godly amogus
He seems to pop up not too long after the Bronze Age Collapse. I’ve read that even though Ramses II beat the Sea Peoples, Egypt was never the same.
Oh, apparently the Book of the Dead predates the BAC... the other scrolls seem to come after though.
Its also possible he wasnt one of the original eyghptian pantheon and was added later
That is right, after the Bronze Age collapse and Ramses III assassination, the priesthood of Amun took power and essentially peppered the pharaohs, up until they were conquered by the Kushites, who also infiltrated the priesthood.
I initially saw the lower half of a human figure with the addition of eyes. I assumed that either it was a 'half person" {god - entity} but it makes as much sense that it's a representation of "invisible" or "unseen".
Sussy amogus!!
Sussy baka
i saw amogus
Medjed predicted among us
when the phantom thieves are sus
I'm so glad Trey the explainer exists.
Sussus AMOGUS
When impostor is god
Lol the descriptions given at 03:00 are spot on lol. A salt and pepper shaker, the cheapest Halloween costume ever lol yes to all them.
It’s in my head I can’t unsee it
I see him more as a hit man, or strongman. Like in Gangs, he'd be the shooter or the one who gets the dirty work done. He just fights for house of Osiris, so it's like a faction. I feel why the knowing of the name is so powerful, cuz it's secret knowledge to everyone outside of the house. Knowing the names and natures of the house is a free ticket to walk within, because I know the password.
No, he is the amogus God. The sus god. Sussy god, imposta god. *proceeds to play the amogus remix song bass boosted shitty quality*
So he's just like an executioner, veiled and gets the job done
@@mmyr8ado.360 Like the imposter
Doesn't his name mean "The Smiter"? So that would align with your point of view.
I like how most of the medjed in the thumbnails are mostly Nitocris from FGO lol.
more like the opposite
Mogus
^^^^^ fake justin y. Or should i say AN IMPOSTER?
@@ab3ki84hayate I know so stoppit
We found the imposter
If were to search for a literal manifestation of the god from the description, sounds like lighting and thunder. Begins from a single point, often spreads to many branches, kills on occasion when caught out in the open, and manifests before rainstorms.
That’s terrifying
I don't know man, medjed is kinda... Sus

WHEN MEDJED IS SUS
8:04 medjed among them 😳
Your question: Whos medjed? My question: hes so sussy baka, he took my 9000 fornite card
Thank you - and for uploading.
It's curious.
But what I personally find at least just as puzzling as the Medjed, is that the attention to it originates from a game?
Game developers aware of an enigmatic papyrus unfamiliar to (many?) egyptologists?
Puzzling...
That's the power of memes- even relatively obscure information can be amplified in intensity to become universal.
Look up nitocris in fate/grand order. She has medjeds in her normal form and she dresses as one in her assassin form. She's the one with the bunny like ears in the beginning of the video
@@manuelagreda2136 🤔
Medjed was already famous in Japanese internet before FGO. It was this popularity that earned it a place in the game.
Also, FGO isn't the only media using Medjed. There is a game with a short anime airing now that also features Medjed.
I know right? It's kinda sus
fgo sent me here

I know the name is wal of that smiter(nemesis) among them who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen. The sky is encircled with the fiery blast of his mouth and Hapi makes report, yet he is unseen.” Medjed is here named “the smiter”, or perhaps his name is translated to “smiter”. commanding Hāpi [god of the annual flooding of the Nile]

Mandella effect.....obvious wacky stuff that was 'always' there, but everybody missed for 6000 years.
Anyone who knows would say that medjeds could have a swimsuit underneath. 😉
Ah yes nitocris
its amogus
Two common male names in Arabic is still used today that sound similar ...Majed/Majid and Majeed meaning honorable and glorious
We from former Yugoslavia know what Medjed is 😀

The audio and video are fine, but please do the subtitles properly in future. If you want to educate and entertain, please remember the hard of hearing and those for whom English is difficult.
I knew it was Thebes but some people are going to be puzzled about why thieves were involved. Brilliant content though.
Their is ok english subtitles to the video, just push cc. You can also listen to slower video speed (or listen several times) , you change the speed in the setting. But as a swede I had no problem to listen to 2x speed

@Micah Mcgaffin I know about the CC on here. I am complaining about the fact that it is automatically-generated semi-gibberish that does not reflect the nuanced and educational nature of the discussion. Which you would know if you had read what I wrote and understood it.
