Why Did Ancient Egyptians Start Believing in Gods? | Ancient Egypt In this video, we go all the way back before Egyptian religion existed to find out where it actually came from — the Badarian graves at the desert's edge with makeup kits buried next to the dead, a man from Gebelein mummified by nothing but hot sand, cattle burials out in a Sahara that used to be green grassland, the star Sopdet vanishing and returning right before the flood every single year, an elephant and a broken-armed baboon buried like royalty at Hierakonpolis, and the uncomfortable discovery that the first thing Egyptians ever wrote down wasn't a prayer — it was a delivery note. By the end, the whole question flips: nobody invented these gods. They noticed a universe that kept its promises, and they started wondering what they owed it. 💬 The Egyptian deal: a universe that never fails you, but only if somebody tends it, forever. Would you take that deal? Let us know in the comments. 🔔 Subscribe for more of the parts of ancient Egypt that never make it into the textbooks.
