Perisan should be spelled as Persian in the caption near the end of the video. Reading mistake: I say "mediggo" but it is Megiddo as I wrote on the map caption.

- The fall of ancient EMPIRES comes from this, hades discovery within gradually, things get boring and people cry within for sweet home peace that they once knew, and all superficial power seems pointless. I know a secret from old Egypt, Kether-Safiroth-KA (Yiny-Yang-Tao) how humans and spirits alike unravel their true inner peace in renewed frontiers, and make the EMPIRES rise again, and again, you need to know how and what could be the problems among the inhabitants to recover and relive for the better - You could say the human race would have to die out!

I think it’s amazing how vast Ancient Egypt’s history is. Like they were a civilization that existed for more than 3 thousand years, they existed for longer than all of Roman history. I mean when they were constructing the pyramids they were still mammoths in some parts of the world, MAMMOTHS! Do you realize how incredible that is.

Eqypt was so incredibly old. The famous Cleopatra (VII) lived closer to man going to moon than building of great pyramids of Giza. That is just how incredibly ancient Eqypt was.

[@PandoraKyss]

TheRomanRuler - I love a comment I read recently, that Cleopatra VII was closer to the opening of the first McDonalds than to the Great Pyramids.

[@XtoCee]

Cleopatra was not Egyptian. Cleopatra was a Ptolemy ruler of Egypt which were Greek Pharaohs stemming from following Alexander the Great had conquered Persia - acquiring Egypt in the process since Egypt was a Persian colony at the period. Alexander classified himself as Pharaoh, which later on birthed a dynasty of Greek Pharaohs such as Cleopatra. Thus, Cleopatra was not a real Egyptian.

[@XtoCee]

@@rob-8541 They weren't Egyptian. However, they were a part of the same culture: Nile Valley Culture. It would be no different than the Romans conquering the Greeks. The Romans and Greeks were basically a part of the same culture, and the Greeks later became Romans, i.e. Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire).

[@XtoCee]

@@rob-8541 Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that was ended in 525 BC. However, there was a brief moment where the natives reconquered their lands from the Persians during a revolt which was led by Amyrtaeus in 404 BC which he later became Pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty, the only Pharoah of the 28th Dynasty. Nevertheless, Egypt was reconquered by Persians in 343 BC. That was the end of African rule in Ancient Egypt in which Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs later ruled. Following 343 BC, Africans would *NEVER* rule Egypt again. The last Pharaoh, Pharaoh Nectanebo II was exiled to Nubia. The Arabs colonised the whole of North Africa in the 7th century known as the Arabic conquest of Northern-Africa. However, prior to the Arabs, there were Greek, Roman and Vandal settlements in Northern-Africa. Africans have not ruled Ancient Egypt for *2,362* years. Do you know what has happened since then? Greco-Roman rule has been since 332 BC until 642 AD ( *974* years). Islamic rule -Arab and Ottomans have been ruling Egypt since 642 AD ( *1,337* years and still continuing). .

[@XtoCee]

@@rob-8541 You clearly know nothing regarding Egypt or Africa for that matter. For one, Nubian civilisation is older than Egyptian. Ta-Seti and Nabta Playa are far older than the entirety of Egyptian civilisation. The first Egyptian Pharaoh, Narmer derived from the region what is referred to as 'Nubia'. As I mentioned, modern Egyptians are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians and people who state such nonsense are either ignorant or flat out racist. How can the same people lecture us that the modern Egyptians are the same as the Ancient Egyptians while Egypt was ruled by foreign powers for over 2,300 years but somehow tell us that the Turks who conquered Constantinople in 1453 are not Greek but Turkic whom merely conquered Constanipole 566 years ago? Moreover, the same imbeciles who state such nonsense believe in conspiracies such as "The Great Replacement". Somehow Muslims who merely migrated into Europe 60 years ago is somehow going to replace the native European population in a few decades? Nevertheless, but the Egyptians who were ruled by Arabs and Turks for over 1,337 years were not replaced. As for the Copts, you clearly do not know what you are on about. Copts derive from Greco-Romans that conquered Egypt following Alexander. Prior to 332 BC, there was no such thing as a Copt. The Coptic language derives from Greek and is an admixture of the Ancient Egyptian (native) language Demotic. Moreover, 'Coptic' is a religious classification. Not an ethnic classification. The Coptic Church was founded during the period of Roman rule, in which a citizen of Libya, Cyrene, a Roman colony, named Saint Mark founded the Coptic Church in Alexandria. In 49 AD, there was no such thing as religious Copts prior to the arrival of Saint Mark. Nor was there even a Coptic language before 332 BC. You clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Stupidity🤦🏻‍♂️..south is up because the south land in Egypt is higher than the north and the Nile runs from south to north🙃

@Mohammed Hassan eh, no. The nile runs from south to north, which is why upper egypt is *south* of lower egypt, or below lower egypt on the north-south maps. So yes the nile runs down to lower egypt, but it also runs from *south to north*, hence why the inverted map.

[@lcmiracle]

@Mohammed Hassan So were you with @Ghost Flame, yet you appear to disagree with him, somehow.

[@michaelc5152]

What's crazy is that Egypt was around and thriving for longer than western civilization was a thing.

[@shacklock01]

Eeh, Sumeria is well more impressive *cough* just sayin. Taking into account how the 'core' civilization there flourished right up until the Greek Diadochi's (who broke with that tradition that every invader/hegemon had assumed)

[@tsopmocful1958]

It depends what you mean by 'Western civilization'. The Minoans of Crete are considered to be the 'first' European civilization, who were quite advanced and were contemporary with Ancient Egypt and maintained a friendly trade relationship with them. But if you mean the 'modern' West of the last 500 years or so, then its rapid rise to global dominance, and advancing from sailing ships to Moon landings in that time could be seen as perhaps more noteworthy than a civilization that stayed much the same for centuries at a time, with even its art barely changing from stiff and formal, and with its best known achievements (the pyramids) occurring at the beginning. And of course, 'the West' could also include the Greeks (Macedonians) and the Romans who ended up conquering and ruling Egypt for about 900 years, which is a very big chunk of ancient history.

[@shacklock01]

Minoans arent european though? Myceneanas sure, Minoans are thought to be from central Anatolia or Cyprus IIRC? But your right they were the hightech badboys of the 3rd and 2nd millenium. Geothermal, paved roads, epic economic centralization. @@tsopmocful1958 Arguablly western civilization starts with the german ascension, as we're all technically german or of german descent here in the western world ;p But i mean pre indo-europeans were building cool shit in western europe at the same time as the pyramids. it just wasent quite as impressive as Sumeria or Egypt ahah.

[@grandmastercrusader8724]

Western civilization is a made up term.

[@michaelc5152]

@@tsopmocful1958 You misunderstand, I'm not saying that Egypt is older than Minoans, Mycenaeans (even though it is) or any other group. I'm saying that it's remarkable how they lasted for so long as a culture, so long in fact that if you measure the amount of time they were around, it's longer than the amount of time it's been since the ancient rise of the Greek City-states. Of course, one could also argue that Egypt *is* a part of Western Civilization, but that's neither here nor there.

Sorry if you don't care but your drawing of the Nile river is a modern one. Where Aswan is today your drawing shows the Nile break its streamline and become jagged and uneven (about halfway up the river), then return to its softer river shape. This is because in the 1960's a dam was built there flooding that area disturbing the once more natural shape of the river. Figured it'd be an interesting fact to anyone who reads this.

When I was in primary school I remember struggling with the concept of Upper Egypt being lower on the map. My teacher should have just flipped the map upside down like you did here, it would have made so much more sense to my 8 year old mind lol

[@Xenoglottomaniac]

My primary teacher explained it like this: rivers are born in the mountains and flow down to the sea, so the north of Egypt is indeed Lower than the south. The same logic applies to many European regions where even inverting the map doesn't help, since most rivers don't flow as neatly from south to north as the Nile.

[@MohamedSobhy93]

Actually it is called upper Egypt not because the orientation of the map, but because it has a higher elevation, and that's why the Nile flow in that direction.

One of the underrated pharaoh of Egypt is Inaros II. During the time, Egypt was under Achaemenid rule, and is also the time the Greco Persian war is taking place. He is supposed to be the ruler of Sais, which is the capital at time which makes him pharaoh, so he threw a huge revolt against the Persians. He lost but dealt a devastating blow to the Achaemenid men and supplies so the Greeks can win the battle of plataea

Not only for that reason. The North on top convention is rather recent and quite Eurocentric. A good reason to have South on top (from a Northern Hemisphere viewpoint) is that the Sun is always to the South, at least if you're north of the tropic. Another convention, quite popular in the Middle Ages was with the East up.

Ας δουμε τι εχουν να πουν οι αρχαιοι ημων προγονοι,καλο διαβασμα ; ) 1,[ Ηροδοτου Ιστοριαι]Δεν είμαι σε θέση να δηλώσω με βεβαιότητα ποια γλώσσα μίλουσαν οι Πελασγοί, αλλά θα μπορούσαμε να λάβουμε υπόψη την ομιλία των Πελασγίων που εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν σε οικισμούς πάνω από την Τυρρηνία στην πόλη Κρεστον, πρώην γείτονες των Δωριέων που εκείνη τη στιγμή ζουσαν στη γη που ονομάζεται Θεσσαλλια. Επίσης οι Πελασγοί που κάποτε ζούσαν με τους Αθηναίους και στη συνέχεια εγκατασταθηκαν στην Πλάκα και την Σκύλακε στο Ελλήσποντο. Και μαζί με αυτούς,αλλοι που έζησαν με τις άλλες κοινότητες και κάποτε ήταν Πελασγοί αλλά άλλαξαν τα ονόματά τους. Αν μπορούμε να κρίνουμε με αυτά τα στοιχεία, οι Πελασγοί μιλούσαν μια βάρβαρη γλώσσα. Επομένως, αν η γλώσσα των Πελασγίων μιλιωταν σε όλα αυτά τα μέρη, οι άνθρωποι της Αττικής, αρχικά Πελασγοι, πρέπει να εμαθαν μια νέα γλώσσα όταν εξελληνιστικαν. Στην πραγματικότητα, ο λαός της Κρεστονίας και της Πλάκας δεν μιλα πλέον την ίδια γλώσσα, πράγμα που δείχνει ότι συνεχίζουν να χρησιμοποιούν τη διάλεκτο που έφεραν μαζί τους οι προγονοι τους όταν μετανάστευσαν στα εδαφη τους. 2, Όσο για τους Έλληνες, μου φαίνεται προφανές ότι από τότε που ηρθαν στον τοπο αυτο(ενν.την Ελλαδα), χρησιμοποίουσαν πάντα την ίδια γλώσσα. Ήταν αρχικά αδύναμοι, [...] αλλά μεγάλωσαν από μια μικρή ομάδα σε ένα πλήθος, ειδικά όταν πολλοί λαοί, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και πολλών βαρβάρων σε μεγάλους αριθμούς, τους είχαν προσχωρήσει. Επιπλέον, δεν νομίζω ότι οι Πελασγοι, οι οποίοι παρέμειναν βάρβαροι, αυξήθηκαν σημαντικά σε αριθμό ή εξουσία.[Ηροδοτου,Ιστοριαι] 3, Πριν από την εποχή του Έλληνα, γιου του Δευκαλιωνα ... η χώρα ειχε τα ονόματα των διαφορετικών φυλών, ιδιαίτερα των Πελασγίων. Δεν ήταν μέχρι που ο Έλλην και οι γιοι του έγιναν ισχυροί στην Φθιώτη και προσκλήθηκαν ως σύμμαχοι στις άλλες πόλεις, που απέκτησαν σταδιακά από τη σύνδεση το όνομα των Ελλήνων. Αν και περάσε πολύς καιρός πριν αυτό το όνομα μπορέσει να προσκολληθεί σε όλους.[...] .. μικτές βαρβαρικές φυλές που μιλάνε τις δύο γλώσσες. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα μικρό χαλκιδικό στοιχείο. αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός είναι οι Τυρρηνοί-Πελασγοί που κάποτε εγκαταστάθηκαν στη Λήμνο και την Αθήνα, και οι Βισαλίτες, οι Κρεστονικοί και οι Έωνες. Ολες αυτες οι πόλεις είναι μικρές. [Θουκιδιδης. Ιστορια του Πελλοπονησιακου πολεμου] 4, Στην περιγραφή της Ελλάδος, ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει τους Αρκάδες που δηλώνουν ότι ο Πελασγός (μαζί με τον λαο του) ήταν ο πρώτος κάτοικος της γης τους . Όταν έγινε βασιλιάς, ο Πελασγός ήταν υπεύθυνος για την επινόηση καλύβων, παλτών από δερας πρόβατων και μιας διατροφής που ειχε βαση τα βελανίδια. Επιπλέον, η γη που κυβέρνησε ονομάστηκε "Πελασγία". Όταν ο Αρκάς έγινε βασιλιάς, η Πελασγία μετονομάστηκε σε «Αρκαδία» και οι κάτοικοί της (οι Πελασγοί) εξελληνιστικαν και εγιναν οι «Αρκάδες» . Ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει επίσης τους Πελασγούς ως υπεύθυνους για τη δημιουργία μιας ξύλινης εικόνας του Ορφέα σε ένα ιερό της Δήμητρας στη Θήρα καθώς επίσης και για την απομάκρυνση των Μινυών και των Λακεδαιμονίων από τη Λήμνο.

In ancient Egypt the worst curse you could ever visit upon someone was to erase a person's name, image and to never say their name again, similar to the Roman practice of a damnatio memoriae. To them, a name had power, a name told a person's story, and a name kept a person's memory alive, so whenever you say someone's name they're remembered, they live on in their afterlife. To never say their name again basically meant to deny them an afterlife and, so far as I know, they only did that to Hatshepsut and Akhenaton.

I’ve always wondered why Egypt never really got back on its feet after the Bronze Age collapse, why was it so fragmented? Why did no one succeed in unifying it for so long?

[@oxjmanxo]

Check out extra credits on the bronze age collapse. The bronze age relied heavily on international trade. When their neighbors collapsed the tin trade stopped and their ability to produce more bronze stopped as well. The economy crashed, tax revenue plummeted, and the states ability to fund a army stopped. Unable to rely on the state regional nobles supplied security and central authority lost it's control.

[@LuisAldamiz]

Egypt was back on its feet with the Ptolemaids, sorta, but the center of gravity had changed: it was not anymore just West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean: first it was the growing power of Greece, suddenly consolidated into Hellenism by Alexander (sometimes a single leader changes things a lot), then two new powers based to their West arose: Rome and Carthage, their advantage was that, being roughly equal to their Eastern Hellenistic rivals, incl. Egypt, they had "barbarian" Western lands to expand onto, notably Iberia with its then still fabulous mineral riches. Once the Rome-Carthage conflict was settled, the Eastern powers could only submit one by one, by grade or force, to the victor. The only one who did not was Persia reborn (as Parthia first, Sassanid Persia later) but even these could not hope to wrestle control of the Mediterranean coasts to Rome without a navy. It was a geopolitical shift, somewhat comparable to the one that happened in the Middle Ages when the center shifted from Italy and the Mediterranean to NW Europe around Belgium, and also to the one that happened in the 20th century when Europe lost its global preeminence.
