Gods of Egypt

The first episode explore the cosmogony of Ancient Egypt and retraces the origins of the first divine family in its struggle for universal dominance. A team of 14 leading Egyptologists will accompany us on this journey, delving into the character of Ra, the sun god and king of all deities, as well as Isis, a dual-natured magician, while referencing popular culture icons, such as Marvel’s Celestials and introducing new characters who must navigate a web of conspiracies and plot twists.

The main character in the second episode is Osiris, husband of Isis and brother of Seth. As in most Shakespearean tragedies or any successful saga, the driving force of events is fueled by a family feud that leads to his assassination shaking the cosmic order. The journey continues in to the Afterlife: the night realm of the dead much like the “Upside-Down” of Stranger Things, where we will be guided by the god Anubis, compared to Batman for his dark charm and sense of justice, tasked with protecting the integrity of time and space.

In the final episode we welcome the birth of Horus, prototype of the quintessential superhero. The falcon-headed god, raised and protected by his mother Isis, will fight a bloody war against his uncle Seth to avenge the killing of his father Osiris. The ancient Egyptians whose ideal synthesis is embodied by the figure of the Pharaoh, had an intense relationship with war. We discover through Tutankhamun and Rameses II, how the Pharaohs have similarities to modern superheroes and represent one of the earliest archetypes of the fusion of human and superhuman.
