Ancient Gods of Egypt

Documentary67 min

Ancient Egyptian mythology is the focus here, with a documentary survey of deities including Osiris, Anubis, Amun-Ra, and Horus. Philip Gardiner is one of the film’s guiding presences as it moves through gods of the underworld and gods associated with light, outlining their powers, conflicts, and place in Egyptian belief. Drawing on stories that stretch back thousands of years, the film also points to theories that these figures may have originated beyond Egypt itself. Their myths are connected to larger ideas about creation, death, and humanity’s place in the universe.
