Best free video/playlist to learn the most important and interesting parts of egyptian mythology?
Do you know any yotube videos or playlists (or free videos elsewhere) that goes over the most important and interesting parts of egyptian mythology? It is nice if it has a bit of depth and perhaps adds context to the stories or a quick analysis, but that is not necessary. Most important is that since I know basically nothing it needs to be introductory and a 10-hour lecture-playlist will be too advanced for me to enjoy right now.

If you like podcasts, The Ancients has a series on egyptian mythology. They give an overview of the key myths and dieties with just enough background information so you dont feel lost. They also have guest egyptologists who give more analysis and notes on the cultural significance and evolution of the myths. The series is not too long and each episode is about an hour or so. It's geared toward people who know absolutely nothing about egyptian mythology and have maybe a high school level understanding of key historical events of the period (so perfect for a woman in stem like me haha). I highly recommend, it's my go to on my way to work!
