Between the monumental Pyramids of Giza and the beautifully illustrated Book of the Dead, a religious revolution took place. For the first time in human history detailed accounts of the afterlife and the rituals to transcend death first appear engraved in the twilight of the Old Kingdom. Known as the Pyramid texts, these elaborate rituals, spells and incantations detail how the Soul can be made immortal, by traveling with the Divine Sun through the night, reborn in Osiris, before being emerging between the thighs of the Sky Goddess Nut. The Pyramid texts represent the earliest and most sustained literature on the Afterlife and are among the oldest religious literature in the world.

    Imagine missing out on divine immortality because some lowly plebian forgot to chisel your name into the eternal prayer adorning the wall of your tomb.
  • @DefaultSeaTurtle
    "...and eventually become a fully Akhtivated Akh." Don't you dare think that went unnoticed.
  • @Bildgesmythe
    I never cease to be awestruck by ancient Egypt. Putting time lines makes it even more amazing. Humans can be impressive, even with their faults.
  • @hypergraphic
    Wow this was such a great video. I didn't really get how the Egyptians influenced so much of our concept of the soul in the West. Pretty cool stuff! All those Greeks going to Egypt sound like people going to burning man lol.
  • @ashiinsane90
    From Egypt, i really enjoyed this video, tons of information without the psuedo-science thank you!
  • @pinkcupcake4717
    The red light of dawn being the Sun being birthed, blood and all, is such an INTENSE image. Thank you for the insight!
  • @studiesonmagic
    This brings back memories! The ancient Egyptian civilization was the first to spark my interest in ancient beliefs and writings. I even tried to do a list of all the hieroglyphs I could find, and that s no small feat for a 10 year old with no internet, just books.
  • @MrGksarathy
    What's wild to me is that when the Old Kingdom pyramids were being built, wooly mammoths were still hanging on at Wrangell Island. Just goes to show how ancient they really are.
  • @mikaeelmalik1724
    I never realized there was so much for the dead person to do and super interesting how they thought of the spirit as participating in the ceremony so literally, always thought you got to lay back and your freshly sacrificed servants would just get on with feeding you grapes

    Maestro, you gotta take some of this content on the road. Ritual theatre jams. Initiations and Transmission Tour.
  • 'Life, Prosperity and Health' to you too Dr Sledge. This was an excellent presentation of a very challenging collection of concepts from an era far, far removed from ours. I've been an amateur Egyptologist for over forty years and I'm still learning. In a discussion once I remember telling an elderly Christian friend of mine about the famous 'Cannibal Hymn' from The Pyramid Texts where Unas ritually slaughters, cooks and eats the bodies and the spirits of the gods. "Oh, like the eucharist...", was her surprised reaction. Excellent episode, Many thanks.

    I was befuddled trying to figure out the context for the joke “dwell with gods in the gay bars.” Thank you, closed captioning. Day barge.
  • @clockworkundies
    i was an ancient Egypt kid, every few months I have to stop and wow what an incredible place and history. great vid
  • @The_Crow-
    I love how you open the door to my mind and dance through it. 🥰 What I’m saying is , you make learning easy.
  • We visited the Chicago Field Museum and saw the reconstruction of Unas' tomb! It's like walking into a pyramid's chambers on the first floor and you descend further into the exhibit seeing tomb goods until you exit in the Egyptian collection on the 2nd floor. It's really wonderful, and now I have a visual of the king's pyramid to identify him with today. I had no idea it was that ruined until now.

    STILL one of the absolute best channels on YouTube! Maazel-tov...🙏
  • @BCmockingb1rd
    What a fantastic video. I'm watching more and more of this channel every day. I'm not a scholar, just an average bloke who barely scraped through year 12 in high school but Dr. Sledge makes these videos so accessible, interesting and straightforward (as much as anyone possibly could, considering the themes). We appreciate all the hard work you do Dr. Sledge, you are one of the most genuine people to ever grace this platform. 🙏🤯
  • @emom358
    I would love more about Seshat, godess of numbers and architecture.
  • @NealBones
    Super stoked to see this one 😁 thank you as always for your scholarly content, Dr. Sledge
