hello I'm Simon Whistler you're watching
top 10s net and in the video today we're
looking at the top 10 gods of death
destruction and the underworld the old
gods in their many shapes and sizes are
as diverse as the people who worship
them
before the arrival of monotheism on the
world stage tribes and other pagan
kingdoms were bowing down to an entire
pantheon of deities some good some bad
and all responsible for everything
that's happening around the world each
of these gods has a story to tell in
terms of its origins its purpose and its
relation to its worshipers just before
we get started with this one I will say
that some of these pronunciations bit of
a mystery I tried looking them up not
always there so I take my best guess
have a go at me in the comments if you
really want to number 10 chrono Bach the
Slavs among all the Slavic deities none
was more feared than chrono Gbagbo so
known as cert or Serna Bach this Dark
Master was the god of night chaos
misfortune and winter generating all the
evils around the world it was said that
his reign of power started with the
winter solstice when night is longest
and lasts until the spring when power
changed hands in favor of belleau bog
the god of the light goodness and summer
these two deities were seen in contrast
with each other even though due to their
joined efforts the world was born during
their creation they came into conflict
in the universe as we know it came into
being as a direct result of their
discourse how the Slavs saw this duality
between good and evil however is quite
different from how Christianity does
today
Karabakh was by no means a lesser God
and was worshipped by people regardless
of what he brought forth death chaos and
misfortune were seen as part of everyday
life like a sort of equilibrium with all
the good things that were happening to
them most of what we know about slavic
mythology and customs comes from how lot
of Bissau who was a Saxon priest and
historian in the 12th century town of
Bissau which is now in present-day
Germany he was responsible for the
Christian izing of the Palladian Slavs
in one of his records he mentions how
during feasts these pagan people would
all drink from the same card uttering a
curse and not a prayer this curse was
intended not towards others but towards
themselves showing that the Slavs were
welcoming hardship and bad luck as the
will of the divine and it being
necessary to life number 9
currently quit the Aztecs to better
understand the
mother goddess and how she was regarded
by the Aztecs we first have to look at
how these mighty people of Central
America viewed the world they believed
that the earth is currently in its fifth
era or Sun they believed that in order
for these eras and in fact each day to
come forth the Sun needed a constant
source of human blood as sacrifice this
is the reason why the Aztecs were seen
by the Spanish conquistadors in the
early 16th century as savage
bloodthirsty barbarians worshiping
demons blood was sacred to the natives
and they rarely killed their opponents
in battle instead opting for capturing
and sacrificing them atop their high
office this was seen as a great honor in
the best way for a human to die since
the one sacrificed were able to live as
kings in the afterlife the story of
cowardly Kade tells us that before the
dawn of the fifth age she was an earth
goddess sweeping the shrine on top of
Mount schemata pear course snake
Mountain when a feather fell from the
sky into her apron this led to her
immaculate impregnation and birth of the
mighty Aztec god of war and the Sun
quids elope oddly hearing of this
abomination her daughter who has a name
that I'm not even in a try and pronounce
rallied her 400 brothers in order to
kill cowardly Cain fortunately one of
her sons had a change of heart and
warned her of the imminent attack who
eats Aleppo chili then emerged from his
mother's womb fully grown and sword in
hand killing the attackers including the
daughter with the unpronounceable name
herself back in 1790 Antonio Leone Gama
a historian living in Mexico City made a
terrifying discovery when he uncovered a
two point five meter a point four feet
tall basalt statue in the heart of the
city since modern day Mexico City was
built right on top of the Aztec capital
city of Tenochtitlan this is no surprise
but the fact that this imposing statue
was covered with snakes human hearts and
skulls however was the statue depicts
currently Kaye with a necklace made of
human hearts and hands while the belt
buckle is a human skull her skirt is
made of intertwined snakes currently
came in serpent skirt as well as her
arms and heads which is represented by
two snakes facing each other currently
Kaye along with other goddesses
sacrificed themselves in order for the
world to enter its fifth era
considered to be too frightening and
pagan the statue was reburied and only
resurfaced in the 20th century being
currently presented at the National
Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City
number eight Sekhmet
the Egyptians Sekhmet was the Egyptian
goddess of war and destruction
picked it with a lioness Hadden's among
the most feared by people of ancient
times her creation came forth when the
sun-god raw was so fed up with
humanity's evil ways and disobediences
towards him that he ripped out his eye
and threw it at mankind this divine I
became sick mess and she began
butchering people in a frenzy and then
drinking their blood when Ross or the
rate at which he was killing his people
he realized that soon enough there would
be no one left on earth so he tried to
calm her then he turned the Nile into a
mixture of beer and pomegranate juice
resembling blood tricking SACNAS into
drinking from it she became inebriated
and fell asleep then that's when rah
transformed her into the gentler goddess
Hathor because humanity was saved from
Sekhmet destruction the egyptians
celebrated on the first month of the
year with the festival of drunkenness
where as the name suggests everybody
throughout the kingdom became drunk and
participated in mass orgies trying to
reenact her transformation nevertheless
priests would have to perform a ritual
in front of a different statue of
Sekhmet from among more than 700 twice
per day every day of the year in order
to keep her at peace and to never wreak
havoc on humanity ever again number
seven hail the Vikings as you probably
would have guessed by now hail is the
goddess of the underworld Helheim within
the Norse pantheon her name is the most
likely source for the Christian term of
Hell that's used today in any case she
was regarded by the Vikings as the ruler
of the underworlds and in charge of
those who died of either illness or old
age those who died in battle on the
other hand went to Valhalla to join Odin
and the other gods hell is the daughter
of the mischievous god Loki and the
giantest Angra boda her siblings are the
wolf Fenrir ins the world serpent
gjermund guards she is depicted as a
rather greedy demigod with half a body
alive and the other half dead it was
said that with her birth disease came
into the world sweeping through towns
and villages she either kills everybody
or spares some of them depending on
whether she uses a broom or a rake
following the death of Balder a son of
Odin the goddess Frigg ascends words
ransom him from Hal hime Hale agrees but
only if every living creature will mourn
Baldur's passing this came true and all
creatures big and small cried after him
with the exception of the giant eStock
who was actually Loki in disguise
sobell's all remains in Helheim besides
hail awaiting Ragnarok the end of time
pile is usually portrayed in black and
white
and represents both sides of the
spectrum as a simultaneous time of
endings and beginnings number six
the Morrigan the Celts the Morrigan is
the goddess of war battle and strife and
fertility in Celtic mythology most
notably in islands but also in other
parts of Europe especially France
the Morrigan was one of the most revered
gods also known as the great Queen or
phantom queen she was depicted as one
goddess or as a trio of sister goddesses
this prio sometimes differs but in the
majority of cases it's comprised of bad
birla crow maka sovereignty and in the
main frenzy in battle think of this
triad as something similar to the
Christian Trinity not a separate gods
but rather as different aspects of the
same one the origins of Morrigan can be
traced back all the way to the
prehistoric cults of the mothers and may
as well be the oldest form of worship
and religion in Europe dating back some
of thirty thousand years in Celtic
mythos she either is alone or in her
trio form and she appears during periods
of strife on the battlefield or just
before it also known as the washer of
the Ford Morrigan is oftentimes
portrayed as washing the armor and
clothes of the ones who will be killed
in the upcoming battle this is something
similar to what the Falco is in the
Viking mythology do when they shared
feathers on the ones whose lives are
soon to be forfeit they are also the
ones who carry the souls of the slain
into the next world
Morrigan nor so does this able to take
the form of a crow or Raven she almost
always appears surrounded by these
ominous birds but in some places she is
depicted in the form of a wolf or cow
the latter seems to indicate that she
was also considered the goddess of
fertility of the lands and sovereignty
some scholars even believed that this
was a primary aspects and not that of
frenzied and death on the battlefield
number 5 Elric siberian shamanism
sometimes shown as a titanic bath Elric
or Ehrlich was the creation of Henry or
algún that created gods of the Turco
Mongol peoples in Siberia Elric is
closely connected to the creation of
humanity but also the teacher of sin and
later the ruler of the underworlds of
darkness and judge of the Dead
one day organ the second most important
deity after Kadal saw a piece of mud
floating in the ocean he gave it a
spirit and named it Elric however this
new friendship and bond between them
would not last as Eric was driven by
pride he wanted to be
to his creator even though he was in a
position inferior to him once as he was
commanded by organs who lift a piece of
Earth from the ocean floor Elric kept a
piece of it in his mouth to use later
for his own creations when it started to
expand similar to the piece organ threw
over the waters to create lands he
nearly choked to death the organ then
told him to spit it out and subsequently
all the lands that were formed in his
mouth are now bogs marshlands and other
nasty places across the face of the
earth
in another story why Logan was modeling
humans out of clay he realized that he
could not give them life he went to the
almighty could ID who asked for his
assistance during his absence he left a
naked dog to guard his creations Elric
seeing this bribes the dog by offering
him a golden coat of hair with the
soulless ones in his possession he
defiled them by spitting on them on his
return organ turns the clay models
inside out and that's why humans have
spittle inside them and not on the
outside Elric was then banished into the
ninth lair of the earth but not before
taking some of the clay dolls with him
these later became his sons and
daughters which are his minions and do
his bidding Eric took charge of all of
those who were dead and leaving Odin in
charge of those with breath
this apathy towards the dead like the
case of organ there's something quite
common among creator gods in North Asia
number 4
Ahriman the Persians according to
Zoroastrianism the main religion in the
Persian Empire arimin or Angra Mainyu
was the God of all that is bad and
chaotic in the world here's the evil
twin brother of Spencer main you--or
ahora Mazda the wise Lord everything
that the latter one did era man would do
the opposite of he was also responsible
for all hardships man had to endure in
the world he was responsible for the
frost in winter and the intense heat in
the summer death however was another
matter in the beginning said Zoroaster
the twin spirits were known as the one
good and the other evil in thought word
and deed between them the wise chose
wisely not so the fools
and when these spirits met they
established life and death so that in
the ends the followers of deceit should
meet with the worst existence but the
followers of truth with the wise Lord in
short they both decided and created
death so people who were good should
join Ahura Mazda while the evil ones
Arman the prime weapon Arman had against
humanity and all that is good was lust
in the beginning man was
almost wholly and deeply righteous the
human race would play a crucial role in
destroying evil from the face of the
world when Arman saw man like this he
fainted and stayed like this for 3,000
years
that's until Jaya woke in and defiled
herself with him she is also the one who
coveted man and we can dis spirit her
man and indeed the Zoroastrian religion
were the first to have that a clear and
definite dualism of good and evil
during especially prevalent during 600
BC it was a major source of inspiration
for the latter monotheistic religions
which occurred in the Levant Judaism
Christianity and Islam arimin is also
considered by many to be the predecessor
of Satan number 3 Bottari kala the
Javanese and Balinese according to the
Javanese and Balinese Patara column is
an ogre like deity responsible for the
creation of light in the earth this
deity is also the ruler of time bringer
of destruction and devourer of unlucky
people he is also the ruler of the
underworld together with his consort
cetacean who both live in a cave but
Arakawa is the son of Java's own version
of Shiva Vitara guru this guy had the
most beautiful wife in the world named
GUI uma wonder in a fit of lust Vitara
forced himself upon her on his vahana
Nandi a divine cow delhi you know felt
so ashamed that she cursed both of them
and took on the hideous form of an ogre
like creature from this union came
Bottari kala
who also appeared as a fierce ogre with
an insatiable appetite and extremely
rude behavior he was sent to Earth by
the Devas gods in order to punish the
wicked
unfortunately Bottari Karla was only
interested in eating people that random
in order to satisfy his appetite and the
Devas were forced to call him back
he was later made the ruler of the
underworld people generally try to
acquire his favor in order to prevent
misfortune and being eaten by him but
Arakawa is also believed to be the cause
for eclipses as he is the sworn enemy of
both the moon of the Sun gods
when this happens people will bring
sacrifices or make a lot of noise in
order to make him vomit and return the
heavenly bodies back to the sky number 2
Sedna the Inuit people of Canada in
Greenland the story of Sedna varies a
bit from one region to the next but it
begins everywhere like a fairy tale she
is the daughter of a widower who is
constantly trying to marry her off none

she never chooses one however one day
nuke

could eat and all the first she will
need and all the blankets in the world

go off to his Island once there she
realizes that the man she married was no
man at all but rather a fool man a
Nordic seabird dressed as a man all he
had to offer instead of the promises he
made was a filthy nest and some raw fish
he was able to catch when her father
came to visit and found her daughter in
such a sorry condition he decided to
take her back home in his kayak now if
he killed the former or not does very
but what's for sure is that wants to see
either the fulmar or his family of birds
go chasing after Sedna and her father
that all breaks out and because of the
immense flutter of wings huge waves are
formed rocking the kayak violently the
father throws Sedna off the boat in
hopes that it will appease the birds and
save his own life she then tries to
cling on to the boat but her father cuts
off her fingers one by one she drowns
and becomes the spirit of the ocean
while her fingers become the fish seals
walruses and whales that the enix hunt
for food from Adam the Inuit land of the
Dead where Sedna now resides and rules

not properly worshiped she will make her
people suffer every now and again

lab once there they have to massage our
aging limbs and comb our hair only then

people where they can tell them that
they've been saved from her wrath as
well as starvation number one Andrew
