10 Most Powerful Gods of Ancient Egypt

Who are the biggest, baddest, scariest Ancient Egyptian Gods? From Anubis to Osiris; These are the Top 10 Most Powerful Gods of Ancient Egypt !

10. Anubis

9. Thoth

8. Horus

7. Sebek

5 . Bastet

4. Set
Set is the god all of things evil. This includes things such as storms, chaos, violence, invading armies and the desert. He was the father of Anubis and set plays a prominent role in Egyptian mythology as you’ve probably noticed already... but he’s not always portrayed as evil. Set was employed by Ra to repel a giant serpent creature known as Apep, that stretched 50 feet long! Following his allegiance was however a little more dark, you could say and Greeks would eventually associate him with typhon, which was a evil terrifying giant creature. Since Set was the god of foreigners he would often be associated with oppressing rulers such as the Assyrians and Persians. Set isn’t really portrayed as any specific animal or character although a lot the time he can be seen with the face of an anteater. The most notable scene of this god in mythology was certainly the battle between him and horus. This was to see who would be the next king of Egypt after Osiris was gone. Set spotted horus along the marshes of the nile and flames were erupting into the sky during an epic battle. Others believe that the battles between Horus and Set are meant to represent civil wars in Egypt between the Upper and lower parts.

3. Ra
Ra was certainly one of the most powerful Egyptian gods it’s said he created the world, the sky, the earth and the underworld. He’s most commonly referred to as the Sun god and was the father of the god of wind and the goddess of rain. It was also normally Ra’s job to defeat evil monsters lurking around in the afterlife. To complete this task, he would employ other gods such as Bast and Set as we mentioned earlier. Ra had the ability to create things with his blood and tears. In some cases he managed to merge with other gods like horus and an all power god name amun ra was even worshipped in places like Nubia and Greece. The temple of Amen Re located in Karnak is simply remarkable and it’s one of the biggest architectural achievements in Ancient Egypt and even in modern times it still houses the largest single religious room ever constructed known as the Hypostyle Hall. He’s basically the king of all gods, similar to a role Zeus played in Ancient Egypt.

2. Osiris
So after osiris was defeated by his conniving brother seth, was brought back to life but was basically like a zombie, frankenstein like creature at this point. This is why his skin is portrayed as green because his flesh was basically. He’s partially mummified as well and if you look into the who story with isis set and whole inbred family, it’s pretty gross, it might not be youtube friendly! Anyways, after anubis, osiris began to gain fame as the god of the underworld and was the judge of whether or not you could pass through the pearly gates in the afterlife. He kind of absorbed Anubis’ role as the leader of the underworld but they would work together. He was also a god of farming and agriculture which may seem a tad bizarre considering he’s no longer alive. But it all kind of plays into the circle of life. Osiris is displayed quite often in Egyptian temples and he makes up a prominent role at Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple outside the city of Luxor. She believed that dedicated wonderful statues to this god, would help her find a path into the afterlife

1.The Pharaohs
The pharaohs were like gods on earth and had full control of the empire. Massive monuments were built in their honor and in some cases had hundreds of wives in order to spread their bloodline as much as possible and it’s actually worked. Rameses the Great was said to have had 100 children and there’s actually a very good chance even you have some genetics from an egyptian pharaoh. A Swiss genetics company even claims that 70% of British men are somewhat related to King Tut. Egyptian Pharoahs would often associate themselves with an egyptian god and that they were divinely chosen to rule the land. The pharaoh, if powerful enough would engage in military conflict as well and it was his responsibility to protect Egypt as best as possible. The great god like pharaohs were responsible for gathering troops devastating enemy armies. Their final resting places would also be fit for a god. These were often fitted with lavish golden coffins and many artifacts to bring with them to the afterlife, to continue their rule as gods!

Anubis only made 10? He whooped Set's ass once. Also, Ra was the most powerful deity by far. Way beyond Osiris. Set also wasn't evil so much as chaotic. He also wasn't jealous of Osiris for being married to a woman as beautiful as Isis since he was married to her twin sister Nephythys. He was upset because Osiris traveled out of Egypt and left Isis in charge instead of him. Sorry to tell you dude, but your knowledge of Egyptian mythology is not very good. Perhaps do more research?

[ameliawarfield]

Awesome video. Anubis is my favorite Egyptian god, and Bastet is my favorite Egyptian goddess.

[Schnaidernineseveneight]

Anubis is so powerfull that he can kill only with looks. Thats how badass he is, epic.

[madarauchiha]

Seth wasn't jealous of Osiris because he had more beautiful wife, he was jealous and angry because his wife slept with Osiris, and his wife was Netphys (Seth's wife), then Anubis came in the world and when Seth heard about that he got angry and killed Osiris so the real father is Osiris and the mother Netphys (Seth's wife) and the father of Horus is Osiris too but the mother was Isis (Osiris' wife)

I'm not first







But probably first to admit

[hybridhd]

Exalted art thou on thy throne,

O Osiris! Thou hast heard fair things,

O Osiris! Thy strength is vigorous,

O Osiris! Thy head is fastened on thy body,

O Osiris! Thy neck is made firm,

O Osiris! Thy heart is glad,

O Osiris! Thy speech is made effective,

O Osiris! Thy princess rejoice

Thou art established the Bull in Amentet.

Thy son Horus hath ascended

thy throne, and all life is with him.

Millions of years minister unto him,

and millions of years hold him in fear.

The company of the Gods are his servants,

and they hold him in fear.

The god Tem, the Governor,

the only One among the gods,

hath spoken, and his word passeth not away.

I watched this when they only had 200 views

[a_aron]

did this dude seriously zoom in on the red sea when he said "Sobek the god of the NILE!?"

[EmmaH-cysf]

Ok, you got something wrong and I just have to say it. Geb and Nut were the PARENTS of Isis, not the children. Where did you find that information where Geb and Nut were the children of Isis because that source is wrong. Sorry, just had to mention that.

[ancientruinsofficial]

Super Epic. I hope I have blood from Amon-Ra🤘🤘🤘🤘

[JustinBlastoff]

It's pronounced Thoth (th-oh-th) my brotha

Edit: excellent video btw

[Simmlex]

I think you are confusing Bastet with Sekhmet here and there.
