Some ancient Egyptian bedtime stories revolve around the underworld. For example, the story of Anubis, the god of mummification and the afterlife. He guided the souls of the dead through the judgment process in the underworld. Tales about Sekhmet, the lion - headed goddess, were also likely told. She was a powerful and sometimes terrifying figure, and stories about her could both scare and fascinate children before sleep.

One well - known ancient Egyptian bedtime story could be about the adventures of Horus. Horus was a significant god in Egyptian mythology. He had to face many challenges to avenge his father Osiris. Another might be the story of Isis, who was known for her great magic and her search for the scattered parts of Osiris. There was also the story of Ra, the sun god, and his journey across the sky each day which could have been told to lull children to sleep.

A common ancient Egyptian bedtime story was about the creation of the world according to their beliefs. It told of how the primeval waters gave birth to the first gods and how they in turn created the rest of the world. There were also stories about the pharaohs, perhaps fictionalized accounts of their great deeds. These stories not only entertained but also instilled a sense of pride and connection to their heritage in the young listeners.
