That part about Isis disguising herself and attempting to make the child immortal is strikingly similar to a Greek myth I read once involving Demeter

Interesting to note the parallels to certain Greek myths. Ra foresees that the children of Nut will overtake him, and taking steps to prevent them from doing so, just as Uranus and Cronus foresaw and attempted to prevent their own overthrow by their own children. Even more strikingly, Isis goes on a search for her lost husband, goes to work for a noble family in disguise, and attempts to make their child immortal by burning their mortal flesh away, before being interrupted by the child's mother, and growing wrathful. This is markedly similar to one version of the myth of Demeter and Persephone, in which Demeter, after searching for her lost daughter for several days, comes across a town, where she takes up a disguise, goes to work for a noble family, grows fond of their child, and tries to make the child immortal by burning away his mortal flesh, before being interrupted by the mother, and placing a curse on the town in vengeance. I wonder... did the Greeks borrow this myth from the Egyptian, do both stem from some older myth, or are the similarities somehow just coincidental?

Very good video. There's a version of the story where Ra wanted to give Set the kingdom. Word got to Osiris in the underworld and so Osiris sent message to the effect that if Horus was not awarded the kingdom then Osiris would release the dead onto the earth and that they would outnumber the living. So Horus was awarded the kingdom.

Pretty slick how she got Set to roast himself 🤣🤣

Great video! Loved your interpretation and way of storytelling! 👏🏻

thank you for including the numbers in your presentation!

Very nice vid, I always love to see ancient egyptian mythologies and stories getting some attention. Even if you went with the most well-known version of the story, instead of elaborating on how the story changed over time and give some of the lesser known versions some attention as well.

This was very well done! Both entertaining and educational, I thoroughly enjoyed this!

I love the video and I will love to see more like this in the future.
