The Egyptian myth of Isis and the seven scorpions

Title:
The Egyptian myth of Isis and the seven scorpions
Speaker:
Alex Gendler
Description:

A woman in rags emerged from a swamp flanked by seven giant scorpions and approached a magnificent mansion to beg for food. But the mistress of the house took one look at her grimy clothes and unusual companions and slammed the door in her face. Little did the mistress know the woman was no ordinary beggar, but the most powerful goddess in Egypt. Alex Gendler details the myth of Isis. [Directed by Bren López Zepeda, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Kevin MacLeod & Nick Lavigne].
