How One Of Egypt's Mightiest Dynasties Destroyed Itself | Ancient Egyptian Family Feud | Odyssey

Ancient Egypt's 19th Dynasty has left a huge mark on their country's long history. Unlike their predecessors, the Ramessid's ability to produce a vast quantity of heirs made it seem like their dynasty would be one to last for centuries. However, this resulted in problems all its own, as infighting amongst Egypt's most powerful family began to tear them apart.

It's a shame, but Curtis was just learning about making documentaries then. He is an Egyptologist and film maker who made all of his docs independently. Totally on his own, with no staff at all. Recently he sold a bunch of them to some big channels. But he has learned a ton over the years, so the newer ones are all much better done. You can tell which are newer from the start, because he's older and has cut his hair.

You should check out a series called Rohmer's Egypt from a few decades ago, he's a British Egyptologist, he was looking for it at that time, nearly ruined his life bankrupted him and I believe it caused his divorce. I liked his series. Later he recovered went on to make another series Byzantium heaven on earth which is a very personal exploration of that culture moving and sad. I regard it as a masterpiece. You can find it now on KZbin. If you watch nothing else ever again you'll be happy you saw it. T

[@walterulasinksi7031]

The 19th Dynasty was not the first to cause it’s own destruction. The reign of PepyII Neferkare of the sixth dynasty, who ruled for around 94 years ( the longest reign of any king ever), due to the length if his reign, brought Egypt into a state of complacency, so with his death, his sons were ineffectual rulers and led to the end of the Old Kingdom, as they could not effectively deal with the climate change that was causing savannah to become desert, and the droughts of the Nile causing famines. The Muddle Kingdom was one of tumultuous upheavals leading to Civil War and the breakdown of Egypt back into upper and lower Egypt, regional governors vieing for greater power and the ineffectual guidance from religious priests. This lasted for over 300 years and so weakened Egypt that it could not repel the Hyksos Incursion into the Nike Delta, Circa 1750 BCE due to the Hyksos having the better technology of the light, spoked wheel chariot, horses and Tin / Bronze weapons.

Only a person who lacks understanding of the ancient times of this area would be clueless of the importance the great Cedar trees of ancient Lebanon. His lack of knowledge shows he is not only reading something but also is clueless of what he is reading, and the person who wrote what he is reading is clueless. To refer to the great cedars of Lebanon as a specific tree is insulting to a history buff like me. Not knowing this, is a major error in his credibility, and the credibility of this video. The Cedars of Lebanon were on par of today's great Redwoods in Northern California. This wood, of the forests of Lebanon were almost wiped out. No less than the great Solomon had them shipped in from Lebanon to build the his great Temple. Yet he lacks the basic historical knowledge of the trees that some ancients considered so awesome they were connected to the god's of the day.

You say Tausret was "cut down out of pure jealousy," when just previously a commentator detailed how Egypt's power was waning under her, enemies were encroaching, and economics were eroding. You talk about the end of the dynasty due to infighting, but don't substantiate it. We don't know if she was murdered. You also don't mention the insurrection by the Horite "Irsu" before Sethnakht, mentioned in the great Harris Papyrus I and presumably alluded to in the Elephantine Stele of Sethnakht - a further sign of weakening leadership. 'Gee, if only they'd have kept her on the throne, everybody would have been prosperous and safe' seems to be your thesis. More plausible is the idea that inbreeding spelled their doom, since Siptah MIGHT be seen as an example of that. Kudos for shedding light on this rarely mentioned period of their history, and the great facial reconstructions - although they might have been slightly more red-skinned. It seems you are taking the wrong lessons from it, however.

From the start, there are inaccuracies.

Horemheb had been in named by Tutankhamen as his successor, but because he was the commander of the Egyptian army, was keeping the shaky peace at the Hittite border when Tutankhamen died, ( see Ultimate Tut), Ankhetsetamun, had refused Aye’s advances and sent a letter to the Hittite king requesting that he send a Hittite prince to be her husband and end the strife as this prince would combine the Egyptian and Hittites into one empire. The letter was found at 6he Hittite capital Hattusha.A prince was dispatched to do this, however en- route mysteriously died. This forced Horemheb to stay at the border while Aye hurriedly had Tutankhamen mumified. Aye then married Ankhesetamun, but quickly she fell from history? Aye then had all the possessions of the 18th Dynasty placed into the unfinished second tomb meant for himself, and sealed while he took over the throne. Once Aye died about four years later, Horemheb became Pharaoh, and appointed Ramses I as his successor and though he may have bern born at Avaris( Pitom), he had the name of the old Hyksos military stronghold Ramses. Ramses II was totally in control of the Levant through the battle of Kadesh with support from Israel, the vassal region , now Lebanon. The battle for the Cedar forrest was not for control but because the forrest was becoming denuded and Israel was trying to prevent the entire forrest from being cut down. The Mereneptah stele regarding Israel, would have been more likely a commemoration of Kadesh, than of the struggle over the forrest, as the Levant was under Egypt since the beginning 28th Dynasty with the Hebrews acting as the administrative judges.

Thank you Walter for that very concise and accurate telling of the story. I'm sure most people don't know all that, so I'm sure it helps them, because even though I do know it, it's very helpful to me too. It could not have been written any more clearly than that. Thanks again!

[@walterulasinksi7031]

The last line should read-as the Levant was under Egyptian control from the beginning of the 18th Dynasty as Ahmose forced the Hyksos out of Egypt north to the border of the Hittites.

[@walterulasinksi7031]

@@cattymajiv You are welcome. Many people are confused about Egyptian history, the”Asiatics”( canaanites) residing in the Nile Delta during theMiddle Kingdom, The Hyksos invasion and expulsion and how Ahmose created the Egyptian Empire, Circa 1500 BCE. There us a logic within the Egyptian historical record and the Hebrew account if one knows how to look for it.

Interesting but surprised by need for professional Production Sound Mixer and professional narrator. Is this indicative of the documentaries on this channel?

[@Terry-op5zb]

Uh Coinage wasn't even a thing until they started by the Lydians (Pre-Anatolian Turkey) in 610 b.c. So we are off by almost 600 years of before anyone ever minted a coin and it wasn't until about 550 b.c. that they were minted in Greece. 29:32 It's probably just progressive Egyptian jewelry.

[@sophroniel]

Curtis has a youtube channel too! It's really interesting, and he started doing all this by himself! I do think the recreations are a bit too, uh... "white-looking". They were african, y'all, it's authentic to give them darker skin! Go to egypt today and it is very much a mix of dark, to dark olive tones and also some very light tones such as semites or people from the caucus areas. But at this stage I think the Pharaohs of the Ramisite era were, going from their features and wall paintings, darker skinned than how the are recreated here. Just a pet peeve of mine, sorry.

[@MsMounen]

There are white people in the middle east, with red and blonde hair.

[@bronwynbentley4308]

The ancient Egyptians were white, black, olive toned, and towards the end of the civilization, many ethnicities. All humans originated in Africa. Egypt is in Africa and it is also on the Mediterranean Sea. There were people that settled along the Nile who were Sub-Saharan African, and people who settled along the Nile who were Caucasian. Egypt was a popular place because of the Nile River. We can’t say that Egyptians were of one race. Egypt was a beautiful blend of skin colors.

The poor audio quality and the guy in the room full of lighting equipment makes no sense. This channel always does high quality content. I don't see the point of editing in footage of this guy to explain it especially when the audio quality doesn't match the rest of the production. It sounds like he's filming in a bathroom. No offense to him personally but it's just a quality issue. I come to this channel because it's top quality and that's not hitting the mark.

[@artur1319]

Yeah this one is pretty off the mark…

[@prehistoriconion]

It doesn’t feel professional? Or maybe he just doesn’t seem reliable? He’s in love with the pharaohs and it feels like it’s all very biased information “how great was he, so attractive” but with no REAL information on the pharaohs themselves for the most part other than dynastic line reading. Lol 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know. Felt odd. But maybe it was his first documentary of this scale and he’s still learning!
