There is a version of the Seth and Horus baby gravy mediation story I've read before. Instead of the Seth disk/crown, it was Thoth that popped out of Seths head and that was how Thoth was born. Either way, both versions involve Seth and Horus having a "family game night", Horus playing catch, Isis seasoning Seths salad and Seth pulling a backfired stunt in front of the other gods and the result has something to do with Thoth

I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Thoth called himself a refugee of Atlantis, according to his Emerald Tablets. It is mostly a book of the laws of physics, which he says you must read 100x in order to get it (I’m at 5x), but it contains a lot more than “just” science. He said he brought the architecture (pyramids) of Atlantis to Ancient Egypt. Most interesting are his descriptions of his astral traveling of the universe. He says he observed one race of beings on a distant planet that he called “real” gods, unlike himself, whom he considered an imposter of gods. These beings could create anything they wanted with a thought, whereas he could not. In another story, he reaches the barrier of the universe, & is chased back into his body by the ferocious guard dogs he found there, him barely escaping their gnashing teeth, desperate to devour his soul. He recommends that you never attempt such a feat, because the dogs would surely get you. He says you must NOT go straight back to your body, so the dogs don’t find it, but instead take a round about course so that you might lose them. He is said to have written over 38,000 books, which have almost all been lost to us. He speaks about how he survived so long, including how he would meditate for hours every day, orienting himself to the 4 cardinal directions, realigning his energies to the earth. He also said he would live for a 100 years, & then would hibernate for 900 years, awakening rejuvenated. He said he did this many, many times over thousands & thousands of years. He also said that he could reincarnate into other bodies as well, also extending his life even further. What became of Thoth? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Some say he went to the New World, bringing his Nubian master stoneworkers (the Olmec?) to help craft the pyramids we find in the Americas. Some think his new name in the New World was Quetzalcoatl, sometimes called the Feathered Serpent

Thoth is quite an interesting figure; he tends to be a Neutral figure; from what I've managed to find on him on my own, he typically chose not to take sides in conflicts. That all said, Ptah should get a video in this series as soon as possible. As I said before, in the last comment I mentioned in a prior video in this series, Ptah is the God of Creation and was responsible for the creation of everything and has the title of "Unmade Creator" because he created his own body but also exists outside of creation.

Primary teacher here. Nobody should ever feel bad for mispronouncing a word they learned through reading, especially in languages like English! Words with 'ugh' are particularly irritating (cough, through, etc) and in the case of 'draughts', the 'gh' makes an 'f' sound, so 'drafts'. The number of times I have apologised to kids for English's horrible spelling! If you learn German, possibly with Babble, you will see how much better it does with spelling!

Yeah, I’ve heard it said that you should never criticize someone for a mispronunciation, because it means they’ve learned it on their own, by reading, instead of hearing it said. You can obviously correct them, but you should only do so in a non-critical or non-judgmental manner. I know this by experience, because it was years before I learned how to properly say Goethe or Jung. And even still I’m resistant on saying Van Gogh properly, as it sounds weird with us Americans always saying it wrong

Njörðr from Norse mythology is similar. He's featured in 5 stories, near as I can tell. In chronological order. 1. The Æsir/Vanir war, where he and his twins willingly become prisoners/guests of the Æsir in order to end said war. 2. He has such beautiful feet that he ends up becoming the husband of Skadi in order for her to not attempt to kill everyone in Asgard. 3. He warns his son (Freyr) not to give up his magic sword in order to woo Gymir. Freyr didn't listen and ended up dying during Ragnarok 4. At the diner where Loki insulted everyone he hurled some transphobic comments at Loki in defense of the twins (Freyr and Freyja) 5. He was mentioned as fighting alongside his wife Skadi at the battle of Ragnarok The only time he was kind of a jerk it was toward Loki, who was being a jerk to everyone else... and it did reveal some bigotry in Norse culture.

I read a book of Egyptian mythology in high school and that part where Set and Horus starting exchanging "baby gravy" really weirded me out 🙃

I've been listening to your show on Spotify it's kept me entertained while I clean the house or work on projects

13:40 I know the Ancient Egyptian stories very well and I am enjoying how you're turning icky into G-rated.I stoped the show at 13:37 mayonnaise on lettuce is weird but what really happened is much weirder.

You did really well actually. I am very impressed with your work and you took the time to pronounce the names. Thoth's Kemetic name (one variant) is Tehuti. I am only too thrilled that you approach these myths with the respect they are due. I am especially since there are many of us worshipping these divinities even now, which the visual clue of my image and name may have told you. There are many myths, in one Set tore Thoth's arm off and threw His book in the Nile which obviously didn't prevent Him from restoring both. Oh... and a minor note, the moon is male to the ancient Egyptians. Iah was seen as the moon though He has/had no roles or cult. Khonsu is the ultimate moon divinity, son of Amun and Mut, it is from him that Thoth won enough light to create the 5 Days Upon the Year (Khonsu loves games). Horu(s) was associated with the sun and the moon early in Egypt's history, them being His two Eyes. In the case of Thoth winning the light explains why the moon is not much brighter, waxing and waning. The waxing and waning was also explained by Set tearing out that Eye in their contending's. Here again Thoth winds up restoring the Eye (and Set's testicles which Horus tore out after the Eye was injured.) Amun was correct about us and writing. Yes, writing gave us much, though in the doing we did and are losing some things. How many are old enough to remember a time when you needed to keep every friend and family member's phone numbers to call via rotary or touch tone land line phones. Even today many of us don't even memorize our own phone number because apart from filling out applications or forms we don't call ourselves. Get out of the habit and you will lose it, keep that brain working like any "muscle" needs stimulation and exercise so too does it. 𓂀 𓆣 𓆄 𓃠 𓏣 𓋹 𓌁 𓎬 𓎃 🙏🏼📿🪔

When it comes to memory, a person may never truly forget something. A person can remember things if they are reminded of it in some way. This is why writing would be more useful in memory. If a person has no way to recall something, there is no way that memory will return in its full glory. You may be able to strain to pull small parts of a memory, but unless you write down the full memory, there is no way to remember the whole thing.

Thank you! I've always loved Thoth - when I went to Egypt, many, many years ago, I bought a little statue of Thoth in Ibis form from the Cairo museum: he watches over my computer when I write.

(They were used, but almost perfect) Thoth Is/Was very Wise. Thank you for this one because it's really good. Ra, was actually Marduk, who was Enki and his Sisters Son. Marduk/Ra's Grandfather was Annu (Annunaki).

Hey Jon, love your videos on my favorite pantheon. The Egyptian gods were just plain cool all around. Did your research show you that one of Thoth's "more true/original" names was Djehuti? I'm guessing it would've been hard to pronounce. I'm not sure either 😅

Egyptian mythology is some of my favorite just because of how insanely jumbled and disorienting it is.
