When we think of ancient Egypt, the first things that cross our mind are mummies and pyramids, as well as the mysterious death of Tutankhamun. But that is merely a beginning. There are so many more fascinating things to discover and explore. Year after year, new excavations reveal amazing artifacts, such as clay objects that still display the fingerprints of ancient artisans. Other items help us discover the particular diseases an individual suffered from before he or she got mummified. So many small insights help us get to know ancient Egyptians-their daily lives, their drives, and motivations, emotions and weaknesses that are just like ours.

It's crazy to think Cleopatra was born closer to our time than she was to the creation of the Great pyramids.

[@RyanJones-rg4ly]

Why?

[@ForeveryBloom]

​@@RyanJones-rg4ly Because the concept of time seems funny for a bit when you know that the pyramids were already ancient to Cleo when she was alive.

[@RyanJones-rg4ly]

Agreeable

[@amandussingh7075]

Same goes for jesus too. Born during the time of Alexander. Whereas Egyptians had already ruled thousands of yeads ago

[@virginiaculbreth]

Thanks for a great video! And one that's clean enough to be used in the classroom!

[@antha6906]

The servants and family members were NOT usually buried alive and/or sacrificed for the king. The only time this happened was with King Aha (Menes) of the first Dynasty, as well as possibly in the predynastic Naqada period

As an archeology student who hates to study U ARE A LIFE SAVER

Smae

[@zacmurphy9867]

Lol isnt that like 70% of that field? Studying the past and various theories about what people think happened?

[@nerdtime1199]

@@zacmurphy9867 Yes i love learning abt ancient things, but not when the teacher gives us a book to read and nothing visual.

[@camelcaat]

@@nerdtime1199then u probably shouldn’t consider yourself a scholar and u don’t deserve a degree

[@nerdtime1199]

​@@camelcaat broza i'm just dyslexic thus in need of visual learning not reading, that's how i sustain most of my info.

[@Idiotwriter711]

I am loving this playlist ..you guys are my new fave channel..thankyou for the videos

[@Anthony-hq5jt]

I love your videos and channel !! Here are three suggestions for future videos : The mongol empire, Alexander the great, napoleon

[@losbrooklyn8861]

Great suggestions!

[@CaptivatingHistory]

Agree, great suggestions!

[@ayeshafatima6005]

Yes Alexander the great must be recorded it's so interesting

[@explorenuevaecija]

Wonderful video👏👏👏👍👍😊. Very informative.

[@mohamedmostafa1375]

This is a wonderful comprehensive narrative 👏

[@explorenuevaecija]

That’s right😊

[@em-tr3rd]

Way better explanation than what my professor calls lessons on Backboard.

[@vallopez2992]

Lovely!

[@blueinferno2135]

What were the three kingdoms in 2:57? (Wasn’t it just the kingdom of upper and lower Egypt? Or only 2 kingdoms instead of 3?)

[@morgnnjayy4000]

old, middle, and new kingdoms, they aren’t necessarily kingdoms but moreso just time periods

[@lailaelkababi4091]

Love this ❤

[@duyiletayo5938]

Bring out more vids

[@jimparsons6803]

Liked the clip. Took note of the fact the Country was one of the first to officially (?) use a form of feudalism. One might surmise that this form of government was a mere extension of the political setups of earlier city-states or villages in the region. Honchos like being large and in charge, even today that is true. What ever the form of government?

[@RyanJones-rg4ly]

Tartarian would be magnificent and of course Atlantis

[@Rico-Suave_]

Watched all of it 10:14

[@chiribimchiribom6864]

10:42 - very mysterious picture about small people on the chariots. I suppose, that could be Nubian dwarves, who were, for some reason, very popular in Ancient Egypt as "signs of luxury". Here they are archers. Or we see children on this picture - but very strange to engage children in the fierce battle.

[@IbzUddin]

Love this! How's bout the Mughal Empire for a suggestion? That'd be awesome

[@arvinderkuar3030]

Yes yes yes.

[@paulinalopezsf]

[@ankitagoswami9816]

5500 bc ?? Isn't it should be 3100bc? Plz somebody explain me .

[@_Retrospection]

Egypt's history goes back further than the time of the pharaohs. Predynastic groups still lived there, but were unified by King Narmer in 3100 BCE.

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

It's time to D-D-D-D-DUEL!!!!

[@Duktape-uw1yo]

When you have online learning

[@navya2982]

yes lol I'm doing it to

[@MahvashAkram]

I have a project a

[@joshuaa9513]

There where two ancient Egyptian kingdoms. Northern and Southern. The Southern kingdom is now under the ocean. You can Google images of underwater Egyptian pyramids, or artifacts. You can see it is the same writing and statues. Historians are wrong. The pyramids where built when the oceans where at their lowest point.

[@TheSecretCosmos]

Great video! Loved watching it. 💖 We just published a full audiobook about history of fragrance in Ancient Egypt. Check it out if you are interested in history of fragrance ✨

[@MikeScott-ez7iw]

Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization not Egyptian civilization period 💯 true facts

[@fortnitefails5512]

And?

[@you_only_have_4000_weeks]

It’s the truth but the losers are not allowed to rewrite history

[@assyyassin1275]

don't care about egypt because iam from egypt

[@vss2062]

Many illustrations do not match with the narrative

[@Shinyworldwide]

akhenaten forced the egyptian people into monolatry, not monotheism

[@user-ke9tx1uz4t]

Akhenaten did not force the Egyptians to monotheism, but rather he loved publicity and called people to monotheism through logical and rational persuasion.

[@Teqemet]

Ancient egyptian prophecy is revealed to me i am the prophesied of ancient egyptian prophets the identity of the two lands of ancient egypt is hamasen and seraye hamasen people are the lower egypt and seraye people are the upper egypt and my mother is from hamasen people and my father is from seraye people and that makes me sami the uniter of the two lands of hamasen and seraye people of ancient egypt and now hamasen and seraye people currently live in Eritrea and the language of ancient egyptians is revealed to me it is tigrigna also the land punt is revealed to me it is Eritrea and the true religion of the world is religion of ancient egyptians

[@MikeScott-ez7iw]

I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people I look online and noticed that the mummies were pure African people not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 💯 true facts

[@user-ke9tx1uz4t]

Since the beginning of history, most Egyptians have had wheatish skin, while those in northern Egypt have white skin, while those with dark skin in Egypt were found in Nubia. Do not forget the environmental and climate factors and their impact on the human form

the most beautiful woman to ever live? do they mean she was really beautiful on the inside?

[@augustrempelewert4377]

Underrated comment.

[@Rbeezy440]

Great Video but that comparison of Nefertiti was terrible.. That was clearly a black woman . Appreciate the video sir

[@sammchunu7893]

She wasn't black please stop with your afrocentric bs

[@user-ke9tx1uz4t]

Nefertiti was not black, but she was essentially a foreigner from Asia

[@MikeScott-ez7iw]

Fake 🤥 News 📰 Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization not Egyptian civilization period 💯 true facts

[@shizomillian9999]

There was no and there is no God on earth. The world is mislead and it got worse as the days go. God is one and so is the son,they lives in heaven. Nice story though..

[@KingKingtruthboxing]

Cleopatra was not a white woman she was a beautiful black woman

[@rpgaming9622]

She was a light skinned women, nor white or black.

[@kafkaesqueee]

She was Greek... Greece is in Europe... So...

[@thoughtsout1732]

Here we go.... another influenced person who thinks Cleopatra was black...🥱

[@antha6906]

You know she wasn’t…

[@Kemet3.0]

I am African American, and she is Greek. Why do you think she is talk about? This is when the region began to undergo demographic shifts due to various invasions, including Persians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. The rest of the population consisted of indigenous black Africans. It's worth noting that discussions often overlook they try include these invaders into the narrative like they were rulers creating a narrative that seeks to appropriate and distort history. The ancestral Kemetic kings, for example, likely wouldn't identify themselves as Egyptians since they would perceive these incoming groups as adversaries.

[@fillmore1267]

This ain't the real story though!
