The Extraordinary Women Rulers Before Cleopatra | Egypt's Lost Queens | Real Royalty

[@garygone5234]

Well done Dr Fletcher. Your love of ancient Egypt shines through. Thank You so very much.

“Like Jupiter, from far away he was a giant but up close he was just full of gas.” Love that and waiting for the moment to use it.

[@mctron22rd]

This is the most fascinating!The queens from that era, I can't get enough information about the ancient Egyptians. They are so fascinating to me. I want to know as much as Dr. Fletcher knows, about the ancient Egyptians. Nefatari was a beautiful and so interesting. Nefatari's tomb is so stunning, I can't get over the beauty of it. I believe I would cry if I was able to see any of the Ancient Egyptian statutes. I also believe that all artifacts that came from Egypt should stay in Egypt.

[@thomasszymanski1107]

I am kind surprised how they didn't go into details about Arsinue and her final days and relationship with Cleopatra . It is a fascinating story and many details worth mentioning here.

Wonderful information and subject!! Well done. Your manner of presentation is so much more watchable than a lot of others who make it about themselves and their own knowledge in a self puffed up way and are tedious to watch. Yours presentation is not distracting in this way but is chock full of great information and connections....the subject of amazing women who so highly influenced the world has been, in my learning experience, disregarded. In the area of Early Christianity for instance, why is it I never knew about Hypatia, an astonishing scientist on a par with Archimedes yet she was horribly silenced and gruesomely murdered? Why is it I had to wait till graduated school to even know about Perpetua, the brave Christian martyr, whose story is contained in one of the very few surviving letters of the Roman world and therefore should be common knowledge? I would like to have had these such women for role models growing up. Thank you for giving us a taste of what we’ve all missed.

@@thabelodavhana Greeks had invaded Egypt only with Alexander. And Egypt was already occupied by the Persians and not independent. They didn't renamed the country LOL. For Greeks even from the Homeric times then land of the Nile was called Aigyptos (Egypt). Greeks have their own names for the regions around. As the other people have their own names for Greece. Soooo..... 1) Being so angry about something that never happened is astonishingly idiotic. 2) Just read history properly and objectively. 3) All civilizations had one or another form of racism against the other people, not just Greeks lol 4) The fact that we call Egypt today and not kemet is only because Romans adopted the Greek nomenclature for the regions around Mediterranean and through Latin became international. 5) just relax....you are kinda stupid

[@lameesahmad9166]

In the case of Tzar Nicholas and his family and King Richard III there was a funeral service and these Monarchs were laid in tombs in Cathedrals where they were sealed with dignity and their tombs would not be disturbed. These Pharoahs and Queens will be on display with no possibility of dignified rest. This display was very different. It would increase tourism and government coffers but in my mind was lacking in dignity. Also in an Islamic country it was very suspect with women dressed as Isis. Very pagan! It came across as an event not unlike the opening of the Olympics a money generator but altogether inappropriate.

[@Khosenit]

Egypt was not an Islamic country. It included all religions. Still today.

[@Khosenit]

Egypt is still unique in the modern world in its equality for females. When men usurp exclusive rule without women, chaos descends.

[@mpress469]

Matriarchal spirituality can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality. Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all Mother's have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8) . In spiritualy matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary death mask) as the supreme balanced state of self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGHQYa2AiKp5gZI In the name of the Father, the Son and the holy ghosted... ? ... inevitability.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

while Cleopatra is likely the most famous female pharaoh, there are a few things to point out. 1: she was of the Ptolemaic (Greek (Caucasian)) pharaohs, a line that started after Alexander the great liberated Egypt from Persian rule and was named "son of Amun" by the oracle of Siwa. 2: she, like most Ptolemies, was not as wholesome as some would believe, she most likely did use manipulation, seduction, and murder to rise to the top, her heir was a male Roman named Caesarion, after his father, Julius Caeser. 3: she most likely was not at all like how Shakespear portrayed her in his works, in fact Herodotus claims she was rather average.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

also a few things to also point out that I'm sure were mentioned in the video: while not all pharaohs were women, there most likely were a lot more female pharaohs than what we were taught about. Nefertari and Hatshepsut are two examples of Egyptian pharaohs who were women, and I hope to learn about others aside from just those two. I already heard plenty about male pharaohs, like how Thutmose the 3rd defeated the Hyksos, Ramses the great's "victory" over the Hittites, Narmer's founding of the Egyptian empire, and Tutankhamun being the youngest Egyptian pharaoh to die, plus Akhenaten's campaign for monotheistic supremacy in Egyptian religion. I do hope to find more documentaries on the female pharaohs for a change.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

Khufu might've been buried in one of the pyramids, but the credit should go to Imhotep for the creation of the Pyramids since he designed them.

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

to enter the next life one must pass the weighing of the heart. after Anubis guides the departed's soul to the scales, their heart must be weighed against the feather of truth, which Ma'at will provide. Osiris will judge the deceased while Thoth writes all that the deceased has done in life. whether or not the deceased's mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, or friend was buried near them is irrelevant.

[@margochristensen7440]

There were only 4 female pharaohs. I hardly think that among all the male pharaohs, 4 is considered "so many".

[@jadel.1360]

The description says there was 18

[@melodywilliams3168]

She said that these four female pharaohs are her favorite.

[@chrisgullett4332]

Nobody even knows if a couple of those women were ever pharaohs. For example, in the 18th Dynasty they know there was a female pharaoh named Neferneferuaten, and they have no clue who she was. Lots of people think it could have been Nefertiti, but they also think it could have been a few other women. So nobody actually knows if Nefertiti was ever a pharaoh. That still does not stop people from saying she was the pharaoh Neferneferuaten like it is a fact. So basically it is kind of hard to say how great someone like Nefetiti was as a pharaoh, when we do not even know if she ever was. That entire period is a real mystery, because they basically tried to erase it from history. The Egyptians tried to wipe it out of history, because they hated he changes made by the pharaoh.

Why Nefertiti look so different from other female pharaoh and from all Egyptian female..... anthropological speaking ,her face doesn't match with Egyptian characteristics...... especially jaw line ,from what I see on sculptures on siluete founded ,their body ,the Facebook so chubby in comparison with Nefertiti bust ....🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Queensofafrica8]

Africa is VERY diverse, and depending on nefertiti's lineage, that could have definitely been a contributing factor...

[@ohlangeni]

It is fake. It was created by an Italian sculpturer and a German explorer from a European women as a model. The German explorer later 'discovered' the bust as Nefertiti.

[@Brootnoot]

Whether the busy was fake or not we don't know But Neferiti was not born of the royal house. She was Ahkenatens first wife, primary one, Great Royal Wife - but she's not related to the royals. Add on that Africa is very diverse, and she may well have looked different to the 18th dynasty family

[@ohlangeni]

@@Brootnoot Africa was NOT diverse phenotypically before the arrival of the Ancient Greeks and Phoenicians in the Mediterrenian region. Nefertiti could only have looked Eurasian if she was foreign born or if there was a non-African population in Egypt during the New Kingdom period.

[@MrDBarch]

@@ohlangeni You've made this BS claim before stop it. You are trying to claim that Nefi was made up before her historic importance was actually discovered. Before king Tut we knew very little about Nefi, but after, we discovered her relevance and YOU are trying to say she is a fake, made before anyone is history or academics even knew she meant anything. Do you ever THINK about the stupid claims you make and how impossible they are?
