The Encyclopedia of Mythology is a series of one-time classes that explores the sacred stories of various past and present cultures, as well as how those stories fit into secular society. Take one course, take them all, and in any order you choose! You might be familiar with the mythology of the Greeks and Romans, but what about the Egyptians? The pantheon of animal-headed gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt is unique, and the sacred stories of their mythology inform their entire way of life! In this section of Encyclopedia of Mythology, we'll explore the anthropology of Ancient Egyptian religion, the Egyptian concept of Ma'at (balance and justice), how the religion of Ancient Egypt informed every part of life, as well as the the journey of the soul to the afterlife. The class will begin with a brief discussion about what learners might already know, followed by an interactive lecture with accompanying visual aids. At the end of the class, we'll review and discuss our findings and try to relate them to other cultures throughout history, to explore how connected all human beings really are!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Many religions, and particularly their mythologies, do contain some adult themes, primarily around sexuality and violence. Concepts such as incest among polytheistic deities or the commission of violent acts may be mentioned. They are addressed in a mature and secular manner, but will not be defined -- therefore, students should be familiar with, and not upset by, some of these concepts in an academic setting.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I received a BA in Cultural Anthropology from Tulane University, and wrote my Honour's Thesis on funerary and mortuary practices throughout differing cultural groups, and how these practices relate to spirituality and religion. The myths and sacred stories of cultures help us understand a variety of aspects of their daily life, and the secular and anthropological study of all spiritual concepts is, in my view, essential to understanding what makes us a global community.
In addition, I received an MA in Bioarchaeology, also from Tulane, writing my thesis on palaeopathology in Neolithic Egyptian populations!
