Ancient Egypt Dynasty by Dynasty - Fifth Dynasty of Egypt / Dynasty V

An Epyptologist on Wondrium says the 5th Dynasty is tricky, because later Egyptians in the 25TH Dynasty deliberately tried to replicate the material culture of the 5th, because this was the Golden Age.

If Ancient Egypt did not use vowels in their writing, how confident are you with the Pharaoh's""s name pronunciations?

[@geraldmeehan8942]

Thank you Cy. Isn't it strange the lack of writing inside the great pyramids and the presence of writing in V dynasty pyramids?

[@HistorywithCy]

My pleasure, thanks for watching! Hmm, I don't know... I think there were pyramid texts on other materials, such as papyri and wooden boards, perhaps just not on the walls. When they realized that tomb robbers were a real and constant threat, it might have been decided by the king or architects that maybe a more permanent solution was needed, hence the inscriptions on the walls of the burial chamber. Just a guess... Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it!

Nicely done, Cy! You mentioned Djedkare Isesi's rule and also mentioned the family of Ptahhotep. Perhaps you could consider an episode on the Maxims of Ptahhotep in the future. He was a man of solomonic wisdom!

[@HistorywithCy]

Thanks! That's actually a really great idea! I was about doing something similar with regard to texts from ancient Mesopotamia, but Egypt has just as much if not more of such literature that can be delved into. So many topics, so little time! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching, really appreciate it!

[@GospelandSpade]

The little known dynasties are in my opinion some of the most intriguing. I cannot help but want to know more about what happened during them. Hopefully, time will reveal more.

[@BiggestCorvid]

The best part of studying the understudy is that you always have the possibility or recontextualizing all the existing scholarship. It's pretty neat.

[@HistorywithCy]

Yeah, I agree. The great thing is that unlike in other parts of the world, in Egypt, there are so many ongoing archaeological excavations and new sites constantly being found. Makes the study of all this all the more interesting. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it and more to come, stay tuned!

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

Do you think the Serehk names with the Horus symbol might have represented which region the pharaoh came from? Like lower Egypt was Horus and Upper Egypt was Set. In the first dynasty they have the Horus symbol so the Lower Egyptians were in charge, and then in the second dynasty there are Pharaohs who have Set on top of their Serehk name and later have both Horus and Set on top of their Serehk name. Like that could be a pharaoh who came from upper Egypt and a pharaoh who wanted to represent both or was a child from royals from both upper and lower Egypt. It seems like most everyone else from the third dynasty on just used the Horus symbol(there’s a couple random other deity symbols used at some points too) which could be that the Set Royal family died off or they might have forgot what the original symbolism was supposed to mean and just kept a tradition of putting Horus up there. Idk, trying to make sense of history when there is little to go on as to why ancient people did much of what they did is fun.

[@LuisAldamiz]

There may be something about what you say but those gods also had other meanings beside regionality, for example Seth was the war god and thus was adopted by the Hyksos later one as their own, Horus-Ra has strong "hail the pharaoh" overtones, while Ptah or Thoth have more priestly references (Thoth so much that he never becomes the main god), Osiris seems to be more "populist" and anithesis to militaristic Seth, Amon(-Ra) is another god with priestly undertones but which seems to emphasize the state as a whole, etc. Of course when the only female pharaoh before Cleopatra, Hatsepsut, ruled Hathor became more prominent, etc. It's arguably one of the main advantages of polytheism: that you can emphasize or de-emphasize gods in order to better represent what you (be it ruler or mere lowly worshiper) stand for in life.

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

@@LuisAldamiz I mean how they evolved over time has little to do with how they began. Unless it was written down somewhere, once everyone who really know why it was the way it was died you can developed a concept into all kinds of things. These literally could have just been family names to begin with that became small dynastic families. Like how in Europe yoU had the Hapsburg family or the Romanov family. The originators of those family likes could be worshipped as deities later. We know there was a lot of ancestor worship happening for thousands of years before we have writing to know specific names and beliefs. And we know there is a habit of strong rulers to deify themselves in life. So Horus or Set could literally just be originators of two family lines, remembered as gods in later generations. And then in even later generations given more abstract powers and realms of influence such as war, writing, the desert, the river, etc.

[@LuisAldamiz]

@@scottnunnemaker5209 - There's a good chance that the gods were originally associated to a city state like in Sumer. But sure: who knows with any certainty, after all polytheism is synchretism.

[@kaarlimakela3413]

This is great! Tony the Tiger GRRRREEAAT!!! I once saw a docu of an archeologist who seems to have found a pyramid footing that he is convinced was Djedkare's, to the best of my recollection. Interesting thing was, he was able to estimate it's former size just from what he found. It's located at Giza, on a just a slightly higher level than Khufu's. It may have seemed taller than Khufu's, but the man said it was the appearance Djedkare was going for ... He must have pissed somebody off during his life, unless the builders did a crap job of it. He seemed to think the destruction was deliberate. I really wish I could remember more, but I bet it's out there in the KZbin zone someplace ...

[@HistorywithCy]

Hmmm, interesting... I didn't know that but will see if I can find something on it. I just recently got some new books on the Giza pyramids that I have to delve into. One is "Giza and the Pyramids" by Lehner and Hawass and the other is the "Red Sea Scrolls" by Tallet and Lehner. They're both pretty recent (2017 and 2022, respectively) so they might have some info on what you mentioned. I'll be reading them soon and will hopefully put something out with regard to the topic later on this year. Anyway, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

@@HistorywithCy Re: medieval topics by 2023, which you mentioned in another comment. 1. I'm 100% in favor of you doing the topics you love no matter what I personally find interesting. 2. I think antiquity and the ancient world is so much more interesting than everything after. Partly cause things become much more homogeneous. In ancient times there were so many cultures and religions, even varying from city to city, but in the middle ages there's a lot more uniformity that in my opinion makes things less interesting. Your videos on the full history of individual cities have been some of my favorites, and I think there's years worth of videos there without even leaving the Mediterranean. Add in Africa, Northern Europe, The Steppe, China, India, Japan, The Americans, etc. and you have maybe over a decade of city videos alone. But as I said in my first point, if your heart lies with the middles ages then follow your heart.

I love to listen to your narratives because they are very trustworthy, but this time I've noticed a really small, petty discrepancy: when you are talking about Userkaf and the second biggest royal portrait of the Old Kingdom, you show us a radiant beautiful King's portrait that was made in human proportions, meanwhile, the colossus you are referring to, is a bigger granite sculpture exposed at the Cairo's Museum, at least until recently, and that's not beautiful like the one you showed us, is not to be seen. I told you this as a compliment! To find in your videos something that's not 100% accurate is almost impossible, and I needed all my attention and visual experience ( The colossus was exposed in Venice in the year 2001, this was the first time I saw it) to catch you stumble on something that is, truly said, not important. Bravo to you and to the sculptor that made that mustached portrait.
