    I'd like to imagine that Anubis spent years randomly dipping pinecones in water expecting what would at that point be long decomposed tissue to regrow into a beating heart and then shove it down the gullet of his brothers corpse. Ah how I love you, mythology!

    The little Jackal pendant the reborn (now crown prince) child Bata wore was cute. Definetly a nice retelling of this myth, and agree with the background caption of "Definition of a Long-Term plan." Which upon thinking about it, can be thematic as Anubis experienced first hand the tragic consequences of a reactionary approach. Really liked the video and your art in it.
    And If I may be allowed to ramble, Anubis' name, Anpu (or one of many transliterated names. I mean seriously, they all have lists.) apparently meant "Royal Child". But also had the root term for "decay" in it. So he's the "Prince of Decay" which is just a METAL a title to have.
    Though given his duties with mummification, I once read someone say his name could also mean "To purify" and thus I thought the idea of him being, "The prince who purifies decay" Sorry for the tangent, but love to talk about my favorite deity. Have a good day.

      Prince of decay is an amazing title wow
      and should be used more often, that is so neat! (:

      And thank you for the compliments!

    4:35 What is up with Egyptian mythology's weird obsession with "pride" related topics? Hilariously, even some of their creation myths feature this stuff, such as Atum creating the cosmos using his "pride" lol.

    • @zaireeto

      Hahaha well it's a fertility symbol! It's a "tool" (lmao) that can spring up more humans. Very magical, very important
      At least that'd be my guess (and i remember reading about it before :D)

    That bit about Anubis's wife reminded me Joseph and Potiphar's wife in the Bible. The unfaithful wife failing to seduce the faithful servant and then gave a false rape accusation might be the slight trope in Egyptian and Middle-East folktales.

    • @zaireeto
      @zaireeto  Рік тому +6

      It's possible that a trope like that survived.I have never read the bible so I am not sure of the similarities but I wouldn't be surprised haha

      It is actually an African trope. The middle eastern version would have been a copy of the Egyptian one.
      There is an Anansi story where it happened to him. Also Mwindo Epic has the trope too

      It also happened in the play from ancient greece named Hippolytos by Euripides. The second wife of Theaseus Faidra fell in love with his son from first marriage - Hippolytos. When he regected her she acused him of raping her and Theaseus then asked Poseidon to kill his son. Poseidon actually did it and poor Hippolytos was killed by his own horses when he felt from his carriage.

    The catfish might be a reference to the semi-legenday first king of the unified kingdom of Egypt, Narmer, whose name means fearsom catfish.

    I really love the way you depicted the scenery in this video! Although, I think it would've been more accurate if the characters were depicted with much darker skin and black African features. Especially since the closest living relatives of the ancient Egyptians are the Bejas, Oromos, Somalis, and other Cushitic peoples from the Horn of Africa.

      This is also only one story out of possibly hundreds or thousands that are now lost and we will never know. Who knows how other stories went?
      And also we might think it's a bit on the nose, but its very likely that the egyptians thought different, including women.
      Times, customs and opinions change drastically so I wouldn't call them incels at all (:
