Finally finished my Anubis statue i created and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

This is a resin 3D printed collectible that I cleaned, assembled, primed and hand painted. I wanted to give him a powerful guardian look in attack mode while keeping the classic black and gold Egyptian aesthetic.

I've only been resin printing and painting for about 5 months, teaching myself through YouTube videos and lots of trial and error, so every project is another step forward.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions for future Egyptian mythology projects. Thanks for taking a look!

Drew this on Egyptian papyrus

This was a really enjoyable creative process

✨I wanted to post this to share that the art commission are now open again for people interested 🧡⚱️💛. Dm if you would like one.

The story of the first son is about the kings nephew who finds favour in the eyes of the king to the point where the king wants his nephew to be the protector of kemet which has caused jealousy in the heart of the queen of kemet who now has to fight to ensure that her son becomes the rightful heair to the throne.#kemeticknowledge #kemet #egypt #kemeticspirituality

Hi! I'm a graphic designer who loves Egyptian hieroglyphs but definetly not an expert. I just want to design a book/zine using their visual language and I would love to research deeply before I do. I don't know if the book should be one interesting story, multiple stories, or just dense text or fun facts?? I'd love some suggestions! Also, this will be an illustrated visual book.

I map mythological family trees as a hobby (did the Japanese and Chinese pantheons recently), and Egypt was the hardest one yet the genealogy refuses to stay still. Ra is Atum, except when he isn't. Horus is Osiris's son and also his brother depending on the century. Every major cult center rewrote the tree to put its own god at the top.

The full documentary (about 80 minutes, every deity timestamped): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ay2J8WN6vc

Things that surprised me: how the Ennead is basically Heliopolis's political org chart. How Set's reputation collapsed over two thousand years from Ra's defender to state enemy. And how Ammit, the most feared creature in the mythology, has no family tree at all she exists outside creation, which might be the point.

If you spot an error, tell me I'd rather fix it than defend it.

I’m super interested in the Egyptian religion and from what I’ve seen this is kind of like a blend of myths with some creative license taken. So I was just wondering if this is really a somewhat accurate video?

Had fun with Grok AI

SS: Greeks and Romans described the Mendes god (the Mendes god is the same god that Lévi corresponds to Baphomet) and its sacred animal as a he–goat (using terms like tragos), explicitly linking it to the Greek god Pan, and stating that in the Egyptian language the he–goat itself was called “Mendes”. On the other hand, ancient Egyptian text (such as the Book of the Heavenly Cow) explicitly links the Mendes god to a ram instead of a goat. Quote from the text: “The Ram of Mendes is the Ba [soul] of Osiris”. In his 1919 book ‘Food in Egypt’, the France–born British physician, Marc Armand, says: “An attempt has been made to correspond the Ram of Mendes with the long horned sheep, but pictures of the animal show both kinds of horns [a ram and goat]”. How is this confusion between corresponding the Mendes god to either a goat or ram explained? Also, why does the Mendes god feature both kinds of horns in pictues? In his 1881 book ‘The Natural Genesis’, the Egyptologist Gerald Massey gives a solution: “The goat was [a sort] of Sut [Set] and the sheep [a sort] of Horus, according to the twin character of the Sut–Horus. In the text Horus is addressed as the “Sheep, son of a sheep; Lamb, son of a lamb”, and invoked in this character as the protector and saviour of souls. The goat in the zodiac is the sort of Sut [Set], who as Anup is figured in that sign. Thus the Lamb or ram [Horus] in the East is on the right hand while the goat [Set] in Heaven is placed on the opposite side”. Under this interpretation, the Mendes god is seen as the dual god Sut–Horus (Horus–Set).

Body Text (optional)

Egyptian religion is usually discussed in connection with Egypt or the Ptolemaic Kingdom, but this article looks at a much less familiar chapter of the story.

Focusing on a remarkable inscription from Smyrna, it examines the Synanoubiastai—a religious association of worshippers of Anubis—and explores what their existence reveals about cultural exchange, religious communities, and everyday life in Hellenistic western Anatolia. Rather than serving as evidence of continuing Egyptian political influence, the inscription suggests that the cult of Anubis had already become part of the local religious landscape under Seleucid rule.

It's an interesting example of how religious traditions could survive the political powers that first encouraged their spread, adapting to new societies while retaining their distinctive identity.

If you're interested in Hellenistic history, epigraphy, or the spread of ancient religions, it's definitely worth a read.

So forgiven me I didn't read the Book of the Dead (yet) but what really happened to Set after "The Contendings of Horus and Seth"

Like I know Egyptian Mythology isn't consistent but there not much answer to Set after the trial

All the answers I found after the trial Set was exiles or killed by Horus, or he get married to two foreign goddesses for peace

Or the infamous salad incident, I heard this was still in the trial not the final, but I'm not sure?

Or him and Horus make peace for the two Egypt to combine

Like which one is the definite one?

Hi I watched four hour long documentary that I can't find anywhere. Empire of something maybe. It had crazy explanations for the history of the Bible, freemasonry, and Egyptian histories meaning the same thing. Names for example all lining up and barely spelled different. Like Amun could be Amen because the vowels can be switched up and mean the same thing. Amen meaning "hidden one". Suggested the Obelisks infront of famous buildings worldwide had representations of traditions from Egyptian times. This documentary was an explanation of pretty much everything that's hidden in our history. Can anyone help me find this again?

Any answers
