I've been fascinated with Ancient Egypt history ever since I was a kid. I started looking for Egyptology documentaries since I'm now on summer break and I've been binge watching National Geographic bits for a few days now. I love seeing all these monumental discoveries of recent years! This particular episode amazes me due to all archaeologists being so passionate and devoted to their respective sites and discoveries. I love seeing people passionate about their jobs, but these archaeologists seem to act as if it is a natural extension of their being. As one of them said, it's not a job, it's discovering mankind's history. So inspiring!

Hatshepsut was a great visionary ❤.Determined to have her right rose to be a great Pharaoh Queen & architect who even overshadowed the Egyptian kings of her time ! Thanks for the video & the team of excavators ! ❤

Not entirely. Hatshepsut belonged to the 18th dynasty, one of the most powerful and important lineages in Egyptian history. All the pharoahs in the dynasty (8 all told), made major contributions to the restoration of Egyptian power and prestige in the ancient world. Paradoxically, their very successes planted the seeds of Egypt's decline towards the end of the dynasty due to depletion of economic resources caused by the massive building and military projects undertaken during the period approx. 1550-1292 BC, as well as political and religious upheavals. This led to the 19th dynasty, which included Ramesses the Great. Apologies for all this detail - but i wanted to explore the context of Hatshepsut's reign and this is a summary of what i gleaned.

The Queen Who Became a King. Is so important, as she empowers women still to this day. Not to be seen as equal to men, but superior. In many ways, we know this is true. The real value comes, from not competing with men but in the union of the two, and humanity exists for this reason. Both are equally powerful beings and gender inequality, still remains a problem today. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

I am not very familiar with the subject, but I do know why the inscribed name of a pharaoh -- always enclosed by an oval-like symbol representing magical protection for the pharaoh, to block evil spirits -- is known today as a cartouche. This term comes from the French word for a firearm cartridge. It is believed that the carved oval shapes with names inscribed reminded Napoleon's soldiers of their issued firearm cartridges. Cartridges during this period were commonly enclosed by paper. The arrangement consisted of a cylindrical tube made of rolled paper that contained the bullet, a measured amount of gunpowder, and sometimes a small percussion cap or primer. This design allowed for easy loading of firearms such as muskets and rifles. To load a firearm with a paper cartridge, the soldier would tear open the end of the cartridge containing the ball, pour the gunpowder down the barrel, then place the ball on top before ramming it all down with a ramrod.

China possesses a vast array of archaeological riches that rival those found in Egypt. The impact of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution policies was immense, and complicates the comparison, because it is an understatement to say that political ideologies can significantly influence the preservation and study of archaeological heritage. During Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution in China, which lasted from 1966 to 1976, there was a catastrophic amount of damage to cultural heritage and historical artifacts due to the indiscriminate campaign against the "Four Olds” -- old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. This period had a hideously barbaric impact on Chinese archaeology because many historical sites were damaged or destroyed, and valuable artifacts were lost. Although Egypt is renowned for its archaeological treasures, especially those related to ancient Egyptian civilization, it may not necessarily be the richest source of such treasures on the planet, even when the Chinese Cultural Revolution is taken into account.
