      @@BlueEyesWhiteJoeWBush Idk, I don't think any sets were full on 100% Egyptian, or even mostly.
      It's really weird given it's the main theme of the card game, even today where Yu-Gi-Oh works in archetypes, egypt only has 3, and one of them is the Egyptian gods, which aside from the gods themselves is mostly just a bunch of anime references.
      While the other 2 are Gravekeepers and Triamid, which just kinda exist.
      Norse mythology of all things have better references to their pantheon in yugioh.

      Atem is probably a paralel to the actual pharaoh Akhenaten. Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV, reigned in the 18th Egyptian Dynasty and *had his name erased* from various records in Ancient Egypt for preaching in favor of a monotheism centering around *Aten,* an aspect of Ra. This made him highly unpopular among the people, which eventually restored polytheism after his death.
      This, or could be one of his early sucessors, being Tutankhamon the most known one for being a young pharaoh that did not had sucessors by blood and handed over his reign to a counselor (Atem corresponds to all of this).

      There seems to be some Biblical references here, Exodia for example is described as a dark god, pairing that with his name implies a connection with the God of Israel, which makes sense given how he became the enemy of Egypt's gods in the event of the Plagues.

      Yeah I always thought Atem was inspired by Tutankhamun and he being a pharaoh from the New Kingdom period. What gives it away is the name of his father Akenaden (I think that's how its spelled in English dub). Clearly a reference to the real world Akhenaten.

Their sister (isis) then did put his 5 pieces togheter but couldnt find his dick wich was swallowed by a fish. So Isis did made a dick out of clay and got pregnant from osiris this way. Wich created horus wich is yugi hahahaha. Im not joking its real egyptian mythology. Then horus fought seth (kaiba) for the throne and eventually killed him. So kaiba is yugis uncle. Also this then makes exodia the reborn dad of yugi.

    Glad to see another Mythology themed video from your channel dude. Especially since you got to combine it with your love of Yu-Gi-Oh. The self-depricating humor is fine, but I do genuinely enjoy these videos. Got any ideas for any future mythology videos in mind? Also, which pantheons would you consider yourself most familiar with? Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Canaanite and Abrahamic Myth? Or is there more than just that? Ever thought about covering other stuff like Celtic, Japanese, Slavic, Hindu, Turco-Mongol or Zoroastrian Myth?

    • @literarywho
      @literarywho  3 роки тому +11

      *Got any ideas for any future mythology videos in mind?*
      right now (at the moment of typing this comment) I'm not working on any videos. I'm thinking on either making a video on how powerful the egyptian gods are or a video on how powerful zeus is; but either way, i would need to do some re-reading. especially if i choose the egyptian video because my egyptian myth is rusty at best, i finished the texts years ago.
      *which pantheons would you consider yourself most familiar with? Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Canaanite and Abrahamic*
      first and foremost i consider myself an idiot who doesn't know anything about anything. compare all the things i know with the things i don't know and you'll see that i am in fact an idiot who doesn't know anything. that being said, out of all of those i'd say probably nordic since its the least dense so its easier to remember.
      *Ever thought about covering other stuff like Celtic, Japanese, Slavic, Hindu, Turco-Mongol or Zoroastrian Myth*
      for Japanese myth, i have read the kojiki and the nihon shoki but the problem with japanese myth is that to say you "know it" you have to delve into japan's version of buddhism and that's something I'm not interested in doing because i already have 1 version of buddhism in my head (the tripiṭaka) and 1 is enough.
      for hindu myth, i have read the ramayana, the mahabharata and the puranas but for someone to say they "know" hindu myth, one has to read the monster that is the vedas; something I'm definitely going to do one day but i haven't done it yet.
      the other 4 you mentioned i have never touched. although i have a mild interest in zoroastrianism, maybe i'll get around to reading about it one day.

    Some things you missed: Chaos/Black Luster Soldier seems to be based on Ra, Chaos Emperor Dragon seems to be based on Apophis, Horus the Black Flame Dragon is based on the egyptian god of the same name and the entire Ogdoadic/Abhyss archetype which are based on the Egyptian Ogdoad. Also Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (3 sets of heads) might be based on the seraphs (3 sets of wings) whose description as "fiery flying serpents" is believed to have been inspired by the egyptian cobras who (if I recall correctly) were believed to be guardians of the pharaoh and were often described as guardians of the gods.

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning represents Khepri, the rising sun, Black Luster Soldier represents Ra, the midday sun and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Evening Twilight represents Khnum, the setting sun, while Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End represents Apophis, the personification of chaos and main enemy of Ra. Khnum and Khepri are different aspects of god Ra. Also Ra was eventually merged with Atum (Atum-Ra), which would explain why the card is so heavily associated with Atem in the anime.

    You really simplified the aspects of the soul, because there's many more parts.
    One including the Khaibit -- the shadow. Which really makes sense for Malik if you've read the manga or watched the original anime version. The shadow moving along the wall, having its own consciousness.
    Also the shadow usage in Season Zero and the original of Yugi's shadow splitting in two or having a glowing eye/eyes.
    Also Atemu's name is taken from a deity as well. Atem was also a form of Ra, but the evening version, or the 'old' form. So there's even more of a duality between Seto and Atem, because Set wasn't always the evil god. He used to help Ra and defend him against Aapep.
    Speaking of name. It was called the Ren and was also a part of the soul. If you had your Ren marked out or forgotten, your soul couldn't make it to Aaru. Hence one reason why Atemu couldn't find rest in the afterlife. He couldn't access it until he remembered his name and himself. Names being marked out back then was a denial to the afterlife. Nobody would remember you.
    I've always wanted to do a video myself on all of the connections, and maybe I will someday. Especially when it came to Ra, the Keepers, Kul Elna etc. Takahashi really had an interest and put alot of thought into this.

    Very cool video, I loved this! ♥
    Also have some more infos (and also speculations) to add to it if I may. At the end of the manga Seto becomes indeed a Pharaoh after Atem's death, so he is in fact the new Pharaoh now, which means he has free access to the god cards!
    For what concerns the red gem on Obelisk's forehead: I think that symbolizes the underworld. Also, as shown in the video, the god Seth had red eyes and it just symbolizes the rivarly between Seth and Horus (red vs blue, which is ironic because the colors associated with the two characters are blue and red, so maybe it also symbolizes some kind of yin and yang). I'm just headcanoning (lol) but it makes sense, I don't know 🤣
    Last but not least, I'd like to add something to Kaiba's surname: I think it's fantastic that is has different meanings, because not only it indicates the Ka and the Ba of Seth, but "Kaiba" in japanese means "seahorse" and in the japanese mythology seahorses are considered... baby dragons!

    I drew the connection that seto was a direct afterimage of Aaron from the exodus book of the Bible.
    1. Aaron was an brother to man that was not good at speaking confidently (that was his strong suit) like Moses Mokuba isn’t gifted
    2. During the retconned tablet of memories, Ishizu points out that in the battle of the insurrection the pharaoh (atem) sends his mightiest magicians to halt the exodus and discourage disobedience by accepting the challenge that god would prove his existence through the two men. One such display was Aaron being tested on his faith, where the magicians threw down their “RODS” that turned into serpents. Aaron by gods power threw down his “ROD” and it became a mightier serpent (debated on it being a crocodilian type) that ate the other ones with ease. *we can plug in the specifics references*
    3. The aforementioned Rod speaks for itself. But the real interesting bit is how season 5 depicts Seto…a guardian priest. If you know Aaron’s story, the man became the first high PRIEST of god “the Levi of Leviticus”.
    Also as clear as day Exodia/Exodus.
    The story is a hoshposh reverse tale that “what if the pharaoh was just” quite ironic , because atem had this same dilemma an arc before.

      It's important to note that nobody in memory knew his name. The Keepers didn't even know. Just the "Nameless Pharaoh" was supposed to come back.
      The funnies thing to me is: why didn't they just ask Ryo Bakura who has a history of this with his father.
      Because plot, I guess.

    NOOOOO keep going! I want moooore!! All joking aside, In-CREDIBLE job! Thank you for giving me even more appreciation for the original series! Please teach us more if you can =P. Also, if you happen to be interested in games deeply tied to mythology, look up La-Mulana 1 and 2. They're a puzzle game series where you explore ancient ruins that tie into many many, MANY ancient mythologies and it's awesome that real-life knowledge can actually help with some puzzles, so you may enjoy them :D! And if you do play them, please make videos on them hahahaha, they're criminally underrepresented!

    Another explanation as to why Kaiba can summon Obelisk is deeply tied to Kaiba as a character. The most interesting thing about him is he is in fact actually rich. Therefore, he can summon Obelisk.

      And he can summon the real Obelisk while the one in the cards is just a recreation made by Pegasus in the image of the real divine beasts.

    My headcannon on Exodia is fairly simple. He is featured with a cartoonized/stylized Nemes (Pharaonic headcloth) and a false beard. He is an unnamed evil Pharaoh imprisoned by his court within the fictional ancient Egypt in the Yugioh universe. His name isn't Egyptian at all but hints at his banishment. Plus his name just sounds cool.

    Awesome video Egyptian mythology was my first mythology (along with Arthurian legend but I didn't know that was Celtic Mythology until High 2020 I need to get a Noble Knights deck) because of Yugioh and Tutenstein it's my favorite mythology and Yugioh will always be an important part of my life

    That ending has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard tho...LMAO

    • @ashfiretv
      @ashfiretv Рік тому +2

      Tbf tho, another nice but ridiculous answer could've been that Exodia, (besides being an indirectly-mentioned owner of the Slifer the Sky Dragon), has to be that the summoning mechanic of his cards also represent how the Pharaoh Atem had to finish 5 whole seasons of the Original Yugioh Anime before entering into the afterlife.
      Given how Exodia was his also actually Atem's "first main" monster he has used in order defeat Kaiba way back in Season 1, and given the fact that "Atem" also represents "Osiris", then Exodia finally and ultimately represents how Atem completes his journey after completing Season 5, just as how this mirrors how Exodia "aka, Osiris' counterpart" requires all 5 pieces of his pieces first in order to be actually be summoned, in order to officially and unbeatably be able to win the game.
      This idea also fits better with how Kazuki Takahashi would've wanted it, since Taskahasi hasn't really had "so much" experience and/or interest when in comes to the Hebrew God of the Bible, is actually more fitting that he stuck with his interests within the Lore of Ancient Egyptian Mythologies and Gods within their culture as well.
      But overall, i think this is a great video! I really enjoyed the entire beginning and concept of the whole video, but hopefully you get to be able to include more in-depth analysis and accuracy when it comes to suggesting any ideas as well...
      But anyways, thanks once again for this amazing video! and i also get to hope you get to have an enjoyable day ahead once again as well!

    To be fair I thought that Exodia was supposed to be a quote-on-quote "fusion" between Osiris and Horus or an avatar of Horus since :
    - Horus is the embodiment of royalty whilst Exodia looks like a mummified Pharaoh.
    - Horus has an ability in Egyptian Mythos known as the chapel of victory that brought him victory in any fight (Well... except if your name is Seth, Ra or Apophis) whilst Exodia's passive makes you to instantly win when you summon him.
    I know that there are references in Exodus for Exodia, but we can't overlook the ones that *truly* tie him with the Egyptian myths.
