I loved imagining Kha's love for his wife. He spent all his final years preparing himself to see her again. He did everything in his power to do exactly what he wished: spend a good afternoon basking under the sun with his beloved wife. That's beautiful. Sometimes I forget that before us, there were billions of people. They cried, laughed, loved, endured. They were humans before us.

[@AL-fl4jk]

One of my favourite examples of this thought experiment is from a journal of a Greek schoolboy 2000 years ago where he writes about wondering what people were like 2000 years before him

[@SoundShinobiYuki]

There’s a beautiful wedding ring from Ancient Rome inscribed with “I do not love you enough.” (One of Mary Beard’s docs on Rome shows it.) That one definitely gave me the same feels!

[@n0vellette]

Joanne is a gift to the historical world. I'm sure the spirits of these ancient peoples are resting happily, knowing somebody with so much awe and respect is carrying their legacy into the 21st century. I've never seen anyone moved to tears like she was, it really does prove just how much she loves what she does.

Another fabulous presentation by Joanne Fletcher who brings Ancient Egyptians back to life, thank you.

[@ernestfox4880]

Thank You!!! Not many historians look to the people. Greeks, Kemet, Assyrians…the common lives. We’re forced to learn of the aristocracy, the monarchy, the rich. It’s frustrating.

You would also enjoy videos by Egyptologist John Romer, who also has a love and empathy for ordinary people. He is from an earlier generation, the videos were originally aired in the 80's but they are really interesting and the amount of detail and knowledge he has on the subject is impressive. Even shows what clues Howard Carter would look for when looking for tombs.

[@suzzannegabel1636]

Love the story about the man who wanted to move into his beloved's house but was told to be on his way. She wasn't as impressed with him as he thought she's be. Some things never change. It's the sort of story we see every day in the 21st century and can relate to.

Kha worked so hard all his life to make sure that his tomb doesn't get looted, but in the end, it was still looted in 1906 and even their bodies taken 😥. I love archeology and Egyptology but I think we should respect those people's beliefs and wishes

[@timoooo7320]

@Ellie5621 yeah good point I understand but still feels bad when they talk about finding their tomb as if they found treasures, we forget that they are people and we take their bodies and put them on display, maybe it's the less of two evils but still. I agree about things not being returned to Egypt, and they probably never will. I was really surprised to find the amount of artefacts that are in other countries. The Met in NY has 40 galleries just for Egyptian stuff

[@Klopp2543]

@Ellie5621 the old story of the west coming to the rescue is rather stale and has run it's time. Alleging robbers were going to get it so the west robbing the artefacts for 'safekeeping' defies all logic. For starters those artefacts were in Egypt and Africa for thousands of years and didn't just fall from the sky. For any loot to have value markets and value must exist. Guess who lacks any history and is ready to grab anything of historical significance or value? The west! Looted Artefacts in western museums must be returned to their people and places. Anyone should travel there to see them and the people should be able to see what their ancestors built!

[@Klopp2543]

@Ellie5621 Egyptians as if Egypt was sovereign and free. Egypt wasn't it was under the British colony. So issue of permits etc are rendered null and void. If the west is sincere it would have helped preserve the artefacts in Egypt and not in their capitals. Egypt is now able to preserve it's artefacts why are they still not returned? Why is the west still 'preserving' them?

[@jtrain5615]

I was there recently. Egypt is increasingly given over to Muslim extremism - many who believe these artifacts are satanic relics from a pagan society. If it wasn't for the tourism income, these would have been destroyed by now. Their preservation and "respect" is not guaranteed in present day Egypt.

[@shadowmatrix0101]

@Ellie5621 Why would you want them returned to Egypt? To be stuffed into a museum, unaccessible to most of the world that can't afford to jump on a plane to Egypt in order to see your country's history in person? You realize that me and my children had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a very small sampling of King Tut's artifacts at the Chicago Natural History museum years ago because the pieces were touring our country at the time. We never, ever would've had such a historical, moving experience to see Egypt's treasures up close and personal if they were stuck in a building over in Egypt. Be proud enough of your country's heritage to let the whole world enjoy and learn from these artifacts, don't round them up and take them home like children throwing tantrums and taking their toys back so no one can enjoy them.

The ring found under Merit's death mask looks like it was sized for a man. That leads me to speculate that Merit died first, and Ka put his ring under her death mask just before she was entombed.

For me, Dr. Fletcher is the premiere amd unrivaled specialist on the Egyptian societies, it's people at their most human, and the ancients cultures and customs throughout each dynastic period. She's so very very passionate about her work amd it shows so well in her documentaries.

I did Latin and Classical Studies at the same sixth form college as Professor Fletcher, I would imagine just a couple of years later (she was born in 1966 and I was born in 1969). I imagine she must have taken the same course. We had two great teachers (the dashingly charming Mr Nelson and the imposingly strict Mrs Gunsen), who had both been there for years. I am sure she is their greatest achievement and is probably living their dream.

"There was no grim reaper-- just this beautiful goddess wanting to embrace them in her warm arms."

Around 1:25: I don't understand why the two men discussing the CT scan of Merit made no mention at all of the severe distortion her skeleton clearly underwent. Her spinal column is way off to one side, her pelvis is tilted sideways, and her ribs seem to have become detached and are lying nearly vertically. And I'm no expert in reading CT scans, but I can see this (especially the spinal column), so why was there no mention of what must be either a violent cause of death, or possibly a postmortem injury by the embalmers?
