Who Are The Lost Gods Of Ancient Egypt? | Lost Gods | Timeline

The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with divinity, death and the afterlife and reincarnation. Christy Kenneally visits Saqqara, south of Cairo, where the Egyptians learned the technique of mummification and built the first pyramid, an early prototype for the grand monuments of the Giza pyramid complex. He journeys on to explore the ruins at Abydos, Karnak and Luxor, arriving finally at the island of Philae, the site of the last hieroglyphics and a little-known shrine to Egypt's lost Gods.

I really would have loved a documentary focusing on the stories and myths of the Egyptian gods. Like the story of Osiris is really interesting, and he barely skimmed it. I’d have liked to hear about Horus, Hathor, Min, Ma’at, etc. I could name others, but know I’d forget a few.

It's interesting, certainly, and has gorgeous cinematography. But there is NO mention of the "lost gods of Egypt". Why didn't the narrator talk about Sobek, Nut, Bastet, or Taweret? Where was mention of Set, Anubis, or Thoth? What about Ptah, Horus or Hathor? And these weren't even *minor* gods & goddesses. I recommend changing the title of this video to something less misleading :)

WoW a truly ground breaking film and must have been highly supported by the Egyptian authorities.

[CLJMusic]

Sorry but that was rubbish. Very misleading title. I expected more about the gods themselves and only a handful were mentioned. Just focused on death, tombs and all the usual stuff that everyone who has a vague interest in Egypt would no doubt already know about. Something more in depth would have been far more interesting, for example, how the Egyptians lives were influenced day to day by their belief in the numerous Gods and Goddesses (and demons). Very disappointing.

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.

If you want to be sent dizzy then this documentary is for you, p.s all the pyramids at Giza where not covered in white limestone only the great pyramid, the other two where covered in rose granite blocks

That was VERY good! Too bad it was so short 😭😭

[Mandarava]

He’s talking about the New Kingdom mostly. There’s a whole lot of history that comes before this era

[jeffreyjefferton]

copper and bronze chisels lol some of the materials (stones) have a hardness of 6 chisels around 3 or so...so how does that work?? and how did they make such precise holes, so smooth and uniform ...

[PoliticalJunky]

I was so interested to see this video but the constant fast moving images, makes this unwatchable. What a shame.

[sixxromine]

I can tell you exactly what happened to the Old Gods, as christianity and Islam swept the regions, they destroyed the old temples and gods and put their own up as the 'only way'

[PATRIOT-ntub]

I don't remember learning about this in school. Thank you.

[MissBliss]
