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! (: Loved these, Anubis is an amazing deity 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.
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.
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.
@@zaireeto it’s a funny story because it’s shows how Egyptian saw them selfs as more special compared to other people and because wenamun wants to get wood from the king of Byblos for free because he is Egyptian ……..the king refuses and wenamun starts crying …….this shows how the power of Egypt was fading in the later periods
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.
@@zaireeto and in ssts I have the tale of two brothers too in the beginning about anubis and wepwawet about anubis found true love even wepwawet founded a bond with thoth in chapter 2
@@zaireeto egyptians allowed women to have careers like doctor, own property and inherit, so I was expecting better. But it seems that all ancient civilizations were like incels...
@@valivali8104 Yes I know ancient egyptians were great! 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 (: (But again everyone is free to have their opinion haha)
Bata: Sorry lady, you're the only cow I don't wanna talk to.
Anubis' wife: *damage intensifies*
This story has a good ending but sounds so crazy 😭
(alos I loved the designs and drawings so much, they're cute
Old stories were just like that and I love them for it haha
And thank you so much! I am glad you like them 🥰❤️
@@zaireeto
Eh you're right! I did found the part at the river kinda funny!
No proplem! ❤️

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
FALSE Rape Allegations should carry heavier penalties...smdh

I like how Bata-literally self-castrated and heart-less-still survives safe and sound...
He is a trooper 💪😄
Great Job again
Thank you! (:
@ i would be great if you could do the Story of Wenamun
@egyptian_revival i'll look into it! (:

The catfish might be a reference to the semi-legenday first king of the unified kingdom of Egypt, Narmer, whose name means fearsom catfish.
Oh i didn't know it means catfish! That is very cool!! :D
How is this not a movie!?!?
Right?? It would be perfect! :D
Underrated fr

Really misogynist story...
It's around 3000 years old and I didn't change anything about the story so yeah, times were a bit different /:

MISOGYNY - Still alive N well in 2023...2024 is looking promising tho😂
Can you explain how it is misogynistic?
