I find it interesting that all the movies about Egypt depict Anubis as the bad guy, but he’s technically not a bad guy at all. He’s just the guardian of the underworld

People who've played Smite: "Oh hey, I know a lot of these gods"

I always had a fascination with Anubis growing up. The way it was described to me was that he was like the fairy man into the Afterlife. He would make sure that the soul was safe that way so that they could get to judgment. Basically came off as very friendly and very helpful as well as very protective, and making sure that the afterlife process from mummification to the journey to judgments would go smoothly. So even to this day I find him one of my favorite ancient Egyptian gods.

me who watched yugioh: i happen to be an expert in this field

Top 10 Gods of Death From Different Mythology.

There’s plenty of jokes to be made about how Egypt is presented in Hollywood

The one thing they all have in common is that they play a children card game.

FINALLY THE MUMMY HAS BEEN NOTICED AS THE BEST EGYPTIAN THEMED MOVIE

They forgot Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon on Ra.

Rick Riodan is our mythology professor.

Anubis just looks cool

Funny because I’m currently playing AC Origins

Finally another watchmojo list about mythology / folklore 👍

Rachel Weisz is always and everywhere beautiful

Anubis, Horus, Osiris, and Seth are the most iconic

I knew these gods from Stargate

Anyone else get slightly disappointed when a video on Egypt shows up and there isn't a clip from OG Yu-Gi-Oh anywhere in the video

You know, i remember once hearing a story about a guy named Caleb Weaver who claimed that when he was a kid, he was tormented and demonically possessed by the Egyptian deity Sobek there was an episode of A Haunting about it, and the fact that was possessed by an Egyptian god just proves that all the gods and goddesses in mythology do exist.

I can't wait to see the next movie based on Ancient Africa or mythological deities.

If Ra, Anubis, and Sekhmet are not here, it's a dislike Edit: "Black, canine head" It's called a jackal, damn it

Thank you for covering so many of the lesser known Gods and going into more depth beyond the formula "God/Goddess of x" for all of the Deities on this list.

Who else loves history/mythology list from WatchMojo.

I love mythology

Watchmojo makes a list about Gods: Kratos: I’m about to the end them all!

I remember a cartoon the was Egyptian themed Mummies Alive it was called

You forgot 3 Obelisk the Tormentor Slipher the Executive Producer And of course, Mega Ultra Chicken

"Almighty protector of the sun and the sky I invoke you please heed my cry! Transform thyself from orb of light, to bring me victory in this fight, I beseech thee, grace our humble game! But first I shall, CALL OUT THY NAME! WINGED DRAGON OF RA!" Behold the third Egyptian God!

Most favorite of these deities was Bastet the Cat Goddess of the Sun, the Moon, Fertility/Motherhood, Perfume, Healing, and Protection.

"Death is only the beginning."

the amount of comments talking about things not directly related to this video is outstanding.

This was dope. Thanks WM

Thoth the ibis-headed god of wisdom and writing, Sekhmet the lioness-headed goddess of war, Hathor goddess of love and motherhood, Ra the eagle-headed god of the sun, Anubis the jackal-headed god of death, Osiris the green-skinned god of the underworld, Set the god of chaos and the desert, Sobek the crocodile-headed god of the Nile River, Hapy the god of the Nile's annual flooding, Nut the star-studded goddess of the sky, Geb the god of the earth, Tefnut the feline-headed goddess of moisture, the cat goddess Bastet, Horus the falcon-headed god of the sky, so many gods to fight if the God of War series goes in the direction of Egyptian mythology.

I love anything to do with Egypt, really cool video. Keep up the good work ❤️

I'm sure somebody will be here in the comments complaining that that's not what real Egyptians is look like or something.

Heyy I'm Egyptian and we literally take some of this stuff at school lol

I needed this after that episode of Disney's Hercules where the three Egyptian gods - Ra, Bastet and Khnum - were portrayed as tyrannical giants who wanted to destroy Rome

Watching before starting my Origins gameplay.

Anubis is the best! Can we can a video like this for the Roman gods?

Remember, guys, if you ever see Sekhmet going on a bloodthirsty rampage, just get her drunk on beer and you'll be fine. Just make sure that the beer is dyed with red ochre so that it looks like blood.

I've seen both Jack & Daniel, tho from other shows (MacGyver), (Smallville?). Talking Egyptian Gods & no Stargate..?.. for cryin' out loud😅.✌️

They put Rachel Weiss from the mummy in the thumbnail. Excellent choice. Goddess level beauty.

Anubis was the villain in the first Yu-Gi-Oh movie, the story is that he fought the pharaoh only to be defeated by the Dagger of Fate. on his sarcophagus states a prophecy which goes like this. "the eye that sees what's yet to come, it's vision shall be fulfilled. unless blinded by events predetermined, thus light and shadows both be killed" Yugi was able to find out what the prophecy meant as predetermined events is another word for fate. in short the prophecy says the eye can be blinded by fate.

Do a top 10 Egyptian god and goddesses of the underworld

I love your voice!

Rachel weisz as nefertiti was treat to watch 😀😍

Omg I love Egypt thank for making this 🇪🇬 how with me...oh nobody

I wish they should mention about Rachel Weisz, the goddess of Beauty 😍😭

HEY REBECCA 🤩👋😊

Egypt is my country.. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Also aside from Tutenstein a few of these were taught in I think second form history like Osiris, Isis and Horus.

Should title this: "Gods Kratos will probably kill when he finally visits Egypt"

Can you make this list again but accept this time can you involve Aztec gods and goddesses please?

Anubis has always been my favourite of the Egyptian Deities. ^_^

Can you do this with Greek gods and goddesses i love Greek mythology

Can you make top 20 african god and godesses or aborignal gods

Super interesting video! Thanks so much

So it looks like I actually knew 8 out of the latter 10 entries on this list. Osiris, Isis, Set, Amun-Ra, Anubis, Ra, Thoth and Horus are the ones I'm familiar with all thanks to the show Tutenstein. Who remembers that Discovery Kids show? I miss that show. The rest I don't think I've ever heard of so you've definitely enlightened me.

Apophis: WHAT?! You dare not even mention my terrible glory?! A thousand eons of unspeakable agony would be too merciful for such arrogance!!!

Is true that all gods of death from different Mythology are practically the friendly ones.

Attention: I'm having a snack and watching a video on Egypt, while doing my homework on Egypt

Nubia is not only in Sudan. It's an area spanning over south Egypt and northern Sudan!

Hey, WatchMojo! Can you please do a list of the Top 10 Anime That Will Make You Hungry? Examples: Naruto franchise Dragon Ball franchise One Piece Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma

JJBA fans: We only speak of the nine glory gods

Are you going to do the Norse Gods?!

In my opinion, Amun Ra. Should be Number 1 on this list. He's such a powerful figure.

Ah yes. Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the executive producer, and *Mega Ultra Chicken.*

trust me, i have been playing persona a lot. the most iconic is definitely lucifer, but he isnt in this list for some reason.

Anyone else here after watching Moon Knight?

What a perfect start for the video!

Osiris is my egyptian zodiac sign (He represents Libra ♎⚖️), it's cool to see him in 1st place.

There is a handsome new book of 224 pages with 185 brilliant color plates titled "Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt" that illustrates in illuminating color photographs and detailed text the lives and beliefs of the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. Many of the photos of the actual tombs and hieroglyphics have never been reproduced before. The book ia available through Fine Arts Press.

And Pharaoh Atem would like to know where his Egyptian gods reside here?

There is also a lion god in egypt because sanatan (hindu) cultrue we have also a lion god kwon as narshima but more important powerful and a avtar of our supreme god lord vishnu

Hi Good Morning Day Everybody.

I already know all of these gods but I love Ancient Egypt and would see things like this anyway!

Running out of ideas. But it’s nice to see weird top 10 lol

Early Edition should have done more with the possibility that the cat on the show was Bastet.

Rebecaa your voice is gold

Cleopatra is the best 🔥

If you like this video, you should read The Kane Chronicles books by Rick Riordan. He wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, and many more.

Sobek was featured in a episode of A Haunting. in it, a man goes to a museum on a field trip and sees a the mummy of a priestess of the Nile god and evokes his wrath and haunts and possess him until an exorcism by an exorcist named Bill Bean. the episode is titled Curse of the Mummy.

Do a list over ancient South American deities. Maybe even African ones too

I'm not religious but I've always found the Egyptian gods interesting. They have a god for everything, it seems.

Why no Jojo scene of the 7 Egyptian gods? I wanted to see pet shop in this video.

It’s very interesting how so many of the ancient gods have such similar names

Also, another good God of creation that could've gone in this list was Khnum (pronounced as it's spelled, I think) he was a god of pottery and had the head of a goat. Carrying a shaper tool and a knife for cutting the clay from what he makes. Khnum was occasionally also called Khnum Ra, as seen as another part of or an alter-ego of Ra. Khnum is best known for his relation to Prometheus in Grecian myth from how they both created humanity, or “man-kind” as it's believed that Prometheus fashioned just men from clay before Pandora - the First woman, was created (Big mistake in my opinion, making dudes first. In general we're quicker to kill something and eat it before asking if it's poisonous first. A real Look before you Leap or Don't bother gender in our bad moments but hey that's life 😅😂🤷🏾‍♂️😂). In some ways he technically could be just randomly creating people in his pottery studio if you think about it 🤔😂. Because it's never stated that Khnum just Stopped. He was never in trouble for doing anything like Prometheus did when he gave Olympian Fire to humanity, said to give us our first weapon and ultimate tool (both physically when we spark a flame and metaphorically, like giving us curiosity and creativity of the mind instead of being like cave men). And Khnum never really had any problems with the other gods and goddesses either. Although I think he helped Horus, or as spoken in the ancient Kemetic language - Heru or Heru-er, in his journey to defeat Set. But that's a Big maybe, the story of that mission is part of his Horus got the nickname - the Avenger, after beating Set for killing his father Osiris (or Asaur/Auser) but he got help from a few of the gods along the way. Including Nepthys who is said to be Set's wife and another goddess of the Nile (there are A Lot of Nile deities, like Sobek, which is why I'm pissed off at the geography of the damn planet in “Egypt”. There's just 1 god damn river. Not even like 1 river with a bunch of straits and streams, because of the desert. It's mostly Just the Nile, which is why the Greeks made up a River god for it named Nilus. But lucky them, the more island dwelling guys, have like 50 or so river gods both well know and easily forgotten like Achelous who was in love with the dryad or other stories princess - Deianeria said to be a wife of Hercules/Heracles and killed her/got her killed in his jealousy and lovesickness. Where the Fuck is the Poetry like that about the Nile gods?!.......oh right, Egypt was invaded like 10 times or something over the centuries by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantine, and was straight up occupied by Arabian kingdoms all up and down the North and then Southeast of Africa 😒. I bet even Genghis Khan or his descendants would've eventually taken it too because everyone Just Had to Have that Desert location in their Empires 😠 smh 🤦🏾‍♂️. One of the most Afro/Blackest damn empires to ever exist literally getting colonized by half of the world, and that's before later Europeans like the British, French and Germans started fighting over it).

Awsome work ! Love it 😘🥰😌

I think you guys forgot to mention that Set is also the God of Plagues.

Wow that is so cool and awesome

Why did Osiris take on the role of guardian of the underworld? Why couldn’t Anubis do it anymore?

Where is khonshu?

Number 2 - I want to thank the jury, my Father Osiris, my mother Isis, my aunt Isis and my half-brother Horus.

"Whitout Nut the celestial Egyptian landscape would look a lot different" the writer simply could not resist.

Thoth sure is iconic

No mention of Khepri the god of the rising sun who has a scarab beetle for a face.

Where is khonshu and amit

Reason to learn about Egyptian gods- It's fun to say

I agree to this

What Apocalypse from X-Men?
