Badass Hippo Goddesses of Ancient Egypt: Ammit & Taweret
What happens when a troll on the internet calls you a “bleached hippo”? You make it your brand.
After my first viral video came with its fair share of hate comments, one insult changed everything—it sparked my love affair with hippos. Today, that pettiness has come full circle as we dive into the myth, magic, and chaos of the Egyptian hippo goddesses Ammit and Taweret.
In this episode of For the Love of History:
How one hate comment turned into a hippo tattoo and this episode.
The truth about Ammit, the so-called “devourer of hearts” who wasn’t evil but essential to cosmic balance.
The power of Taweret, the pregnant hippo goddess who protected mothers and babies through amulets, wands, and prayers.
The dangers of hippos in everyday Egypt (yes, they really were deadly).
Why Marvel’s Moon Knight got these fierce goddesses all wrong.
The emotional reality of life, death, and survival for women in ancient Egypt.
