03:25This pairing might sound strange at first, a long-beaked bird and a loud, busy primate.
03:30But in ancient Egypt, they shared one very important master.
03:33Both ibises and baboons were sacred to Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing and the moon.
03:38Thoth was the record keeper of the gods, the one who weighed truth itself.
03:42So these animals were not seen as ordinary creatures, they were seen as walking symbols of knowledge.
03:46Millions of ibises have been found mummified in underground tombs, stacked carefully, offered as gifts to Thoth.
03:52Baboons were also depicted in temple art with their hands raised toward the sun.
03:57Similar to these sacred creatures, this next animal was honoured for its important role in everyday life.
04:02Cows
04:03Before we get to India, cows had already earned their crown in Egypt.
04:06Cows were linked to Hathor, the goddess of fertility and motherhood, along with other bovine goddesses.
04:11Hathor was one of the most beloved deities in all of Egypt.
04:15She represented love, music, joy and the deep nurturing power of motherhood.
04:19So cows were not seen as just farm animals giving milk, they were seen as gentle reflections of a goddess
04:24who held the world together with kindness.
04:27Temples honoured her, songs were sung for her, and the cow, calm and steady, became the symbol of that warm,
04:32sacred energy.
04:33But the opposite is true for these next animals.
04:35Jackals and dogs
04:36Jackals and dogs in ancient Egypt were associated with Anubis, the god of mummification and the afterlife.
04:42Picture that famous image, a figure with a human body and the head of a jackal, standing over a mummy,
04:48weighing the heart of the deceased.
04:50That was Anubis, and every jackal seen wandering near the tombs at night was believed to be a quiet messenger
04:55of his.
04:55These animals guarded the dead, they guided souls, they held the line between this world and whatever came next.
05:01But they were not the only animals with a special place in ancient beliefs and traditions.
05:05Monkeys
05:06In Hindu mythology, monkeys are tied to one of the most beloved figures of all, Hanuman.
05:11Hanuman is the monkey god of strength, loyalty, and devotion.
05:15His story is told and retold across generations.
05:17The bravery, the leaps across oceans, the unshakable love for Lord Rama.
05:22Because of him, monkeys carry a sacred weight in many parts of India.
05:25Temples dedicated to Hanuman are everywhere.
05:28And the monkeys that gather around these temples, they are not chased away.
05:31They are fed and respected, and just like them, another animal was also seen as a sacred symbol.
05:37Eagles
05:37In ancient Greece, the eagle was the personal bird of Zeus himself, the king of the gods.
05:43The eagle was sacred to Zeus in Greek mythology, and also a symbol of power and sovereignty in Roman and
05:48other cultures.
05:49The Romans took that same energy and made the eagle the symbol of their empire, carrying it on their banners
05:54into battle.
05:55Even today, you see eagles on flags, on coins, on the seals of nations.
05:59That is not a coincidence.
06:00It is a thread that stretches all the way back to a time when people genuinely believed the eagle was
06:05the messenger of the highest god in the sky.
06:07Like eagles, the next bird also held great importance, but for reasons far more mysterious.
06:12Owls
06:12While the eagle ruled the daytime, the owl ruled the night and the mind.
06:17Owls were sacred to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.
06:21The city of Athens named after her, even put the owl on its coins.
06:25Imagine that.
06:25A bird so respected, it ended up on the money.
06:28In Greek culture, seeing an owl was often taken as a sign that Athena herself was watching over you.
06:33The quiet stare, the way it turns its head, the way it sees in the dark.
06:37Everything about the owl felt like wisdom in animal form, and the Greeks honored it deeply for that.
06:42But while owls were linked to wisdom, another animal was regarded as a symbol of prestige.
06:47Horses
06:48Horses carried gods, kings, and warriors.
06:51In Greek mythology, horses were sacred to Poseidon, the god of the sea, who was also believed to have created
06:57them.
06:57Beyond Greece, horses were revered in various warrior and royal contexts across cultures.
07:02Kings rode them into battle.
07:04Conquerors were buried with them.
07:06Empires rose and fell on their backs.
07:08A horse was not just transportation, it was status.
07:11And in many ancient societies, owning a fine horse meant you were touched by something divine, something bigger than yourself.
07:16Like horses, this next animal was also closely associated with royalty and beauty.
07:22Peacocks
07:22Few birds command attention like the peacock.
07:25With those long, jeweled feathers fanning out like a crown, it is no wonder the peacock was associated with royalty
07:31and divinity in various Asian and Persian contexts, and linked to Hera in Greek myth.
07:36Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, was said to have placed the eyes of her servant onto the peacock's
07:41tail, which is why those feathers look the way they do today.
07:44In Persia, peacocks decorated palaces and thrones.
07:46Royalty saw themselves in the peacock.
07:48Bold, bright, impossible to ignore.
07:51This was a bird that did not just exist.
07:53It announced itself.
07:54And just as it captured attention with its appearance, another bird became famous for its connection to myths, omens, and
07:59the supernatural, ravens.
08:01In Norse mythology, ravens were associated with Odin, representing thought and memory.
08:07Odin, the All-Father, had two ravens named Huginn and Muninn, which translate to thought and memory.
08:13Every morning, they would fly out into the world, gather information, and return to whisper everything they had seen into
08:18Odin's ear.
08:19So while most people saw a black bird perched on a branch, the Vikings saw something else entirely.
08:24They saw the eyes and ears of a god.
08:26Which of these animals surprised you the most?
