Cradle of Egyptian Civilization: ABYDOS Lesser Known Ancient Sites

[@HistorywithCy]

I still remember reading in Toby Wilkinson's book Early Dynasty Egypt his first words: "The history of Egypt began at Abydos." So glad you covered Abydos as its a place that doesn't get the attention it should!

[@ancientsitesgirl]

I need to read this, especially since I'm planning a visit to Nagada... it's going to be a challenge 😋 thank you Cy

When I saw the title Abydos, I emedietly thought Stargate SG1!! 😲 🤣 The SciFi show kick-started my passion for Egyptology almost 30 years ago! I love the relief sculptures but not the subject. War, conquest and propaganda. I'm glad they stopped human sacrifice and used sculptures instead. As usual another awesome video Irena, and team! Stay cool, stay safe ❤️🤘😁🖖🇨🇦

What a great way to start the weekend with one of your documentaries! The walls from Shunet El Zebib, the colors and the dynamicart at the Ramses II temple, and ofcourse the unique representation of Anubis with human head at the temple is a really jewel! Next time you will show us the first dynasty tombs for sure, once the archeological campaign finish! All the documentary is amazing! Thanks again for your work Irena!! ♥

[@ancientsitesgirl]

Thank you Esteban, The Pyramid of Ahmose is within my reach, with early dynastic tombs it will be more difficult, but I will try for sure!

Too bad you can not see more in Abydos, it certainly is a magic place. It is a city where the old and new is combined. Thank you for the video Irena, your friend in Key West Ingrid Holm.

[@Mark-kp6xm]

Splendid Irena, what a wonderful video, really good recording, looks so good you feel like you're actually there. Brilliant ancient art, amazing colours and carvings and I love the hieroglyphs. The black granite gate is so awesome, I would love to be there to see that , how did they do that? And what a shame about the black granite statues, I bet they looked amazing in their original state. I hope you had a brilliant time. Thankyou so much, you are so super cool 🏅AncientSitesGirl🥇 🧡🧡🧡

It's wonderful in Abydos. Next time I will try to show more. There are not only early dynastic tombs, but also quite a lot from the Middle and New Kingdoms. Thank you for your kind comments and for your great support for this channel Mark!

Jak tylko usłyszałem o Abydos, to od razu przypomniała mi się Polaraxa 21-21 i kwestia Omm Sety. Jeśli wyczuwa Pani coś niezwykłego w tym miejscu to i Pani być może miała w przeszłości z nim jakieś związki... 🤔 🙂 A co do amerykańskich archeologów... myślę, że jak znajdą coś co zapoczątkowało/wystartowało cywilizację i mogło pochodzić z... powiedzmy "nie stąd", to zabiorą to, przebadają, pewnie zmajstrują jakąś broń, a my zwykli ludzie niczego się nie dowiemy 😞 Aż chce mi się powiedzieć: Yankee, go home! Skomentował, zalajkował, wręczył bukiecik, podziękował i rączki pocałował! Auuuuu! 🤸‍♂🙂💐😘 👍

Dziękuję bardzo! To moja kolejna wizyta w Abydos, tym razem zatrzymałam się niedaleko "Omm Seti Hilton" gdzie mieszkała. Przyznaję że pierwszy raz dowiedziałam się o niej na polaraxie

Hey!! Great video 🤩 I’m going to Egypt this summer and your videos are pure gold to learn abt the history of those sites :)) Thank you for your great work 🙌 I’ve seen on your channel that you managed to visit a lot of great sites in upper Egypt. As I will be solo travelling, I was wondering how did you manage to move so freely off the beaten path. I would really love to visit the temples in Esna, Qena, Abydos and Kom Ombo but dont know if its easy without a guide. Any tips ? 😊

[@ancientsitesgirl]

Thanks. you don't need a guide, just an Egyptian driver to move freely between guvernas. I wish you a wonderful trip

[@ittrax]

Thanks! Did you ever notice any toolmarks within the contour line depressions of these granite engravings, e.g. such at 15:35 ?

[@myview1875]

The engravings in the granite there are good but still done by hand using copper chisels. 🤔. The statues in the Cairo Museum with the scratched in hieroglyphs show the work of hand but the statues themselves well imo they are out of this world. 👽.

In your honest opinion ancient sites girl, were the ancient Egyptians/Kemet a black African civilization?

[@ancientsitesgirl]

I believe ancient Egypt was ethnically diverse as it is today

[@jjw56]

@@ancientsitesgirl how can you prove that? Within the first 6 to 10 dynasties either point to Yam, punt or Nubia as their place of origin and where their gods reside. Or places further up the Nile. Not one, that I know of, point across the Mediterranean or to the east as their origin. You have to wait till the Ptolemy period to find such a history, a truly mixed populace. And of course the Roman and Persian period not in that order. There’s a clip from a documentary where a researcher had dug up a king’s coffin from the 11th dynasty I believe and he’s certain that the king will have a Mediterranean history. He is amazed that skull depicted an African history. He accepts it as being an Egyptian but is surprised nonetheless. Hey, the Ptolemy period is ancient but three thousand years after different ethnicities gathered from African gathered at the end of the Nile.

[@ancientsitesgirl]

however, genetic studies of human remains from the Neolithic indicate that the population in central Egypt (Nagada, Abydos) has not migrated for thousands of years, and this is where the Egyptian civilization was supposed to be born. Even then, the local population seems to be ethnically diverse

[@jjw56]

@@ancientsitesgirl I agree with you , they were ethnically diverse. Africa has roughly 3400 different ethnic groups. Many I assume have long gone (mixed with other groups). The madja is an example of one ethnic group. China is second with approximately 2700 I believe. Europe has approximately 86. So, yes I agree with you. Ancient Egypt was diverse. As far as the two places you named, yeah they and several other groups combined to make Kemet. It’s not hard to just look it up. Throw some groups from Ethiopia and some from Libya. All this well documented. Nothing that I have seen or read mentions any group from across the Mediterranean until maybe 17 or 1600 bc or thereabouts. You have different groups coming out of the Nile going back 3200 bc at least. Napa Playa was around 3400 wasn’t it? Then they eventually head towards the Mediterranean. Who where and when do you have Mediterranean people joining the mix?
