I like the video but hate the ominous chord at the beginning of each new section. It gives the wrong message about the women.

[@ilyaly5526]

For me the ominous chord makes me think he’s gonna explain something tragic about the women.

You might also want to include Puduhepa or Pudu-kheba a 13th century BC Hittite Queen. She and her husband lived during the time of Ramses II.

I believe you should have added Mihrimah sultan from the sublime house of Osman. During her era Mihrimah Sultan was so rich that she funded wars just by herself and in the end caused Ottomans to reshape the European map for hundreds of years. She was so powerful that she bought armies to conquer nearby countries and gifted them to his nephew Murad the 2nd. She was the daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent and a powerful woman.

But this material is about Ancient World's women, not Medieval women like Mihrimah was...
