      @@muffincandle1413 Aye :nods:. The tides of RUclips swirl in mysterious ways and great channels can sometimes take a long time to lift-off as they deserve. For example, I only found my way here because of watching Rachel Maksy's video on the accuracy of the Mummy ... and I only found Rachel because I follow Bernadette Banner ... ... ... and I only found Bernadette because I was researching the decline in cloth quality over the past century ... wheels within wheels :D

      @@dallassukerkin6878 so I was watching Shad talking about medieval watchtower, and somehow youtube algorithm thinks that I might also interest in some Victorian cooking. Soup for the poor sounds interesting enough so I clicked on it and watched some Victorian cooking, very educated I would say. Then a few hours later, I ended up watching Rachel Maksy's video and it led me here xD

    Dr Darnell and Dr Darnell both inspire me on so many levels. While I am fascinated by and respect their enormous expertise, it is their approach to life in general that I really love. The immersion into the styles and fashions of one era, while delving into the study of yet another, is such a deliciously exuberant way to live fully.

It means so much to me to be able to learn about this civilization because Egypt has always been so special and close to my heart. I am so grateful for what you do. It allows people like me, who can't afford an education in Egyptology, to study and learn at home while nurturing this curiosity to keep discovering. Thank you Dr. John and Dr. Colleen!

    My nan and grandad took me and my cousin to Luxor when I was 16 (it's been 15 years), we went to the Valley of the Kings and Queens, learning that Life is on the East (sun rise) and Death is on the West (sun set), where the Valley is. Walking down into the tombs, and they're deep into the ground, stifling heat, but all you notice is the beautiful artwork that people have painted/carved, explaining how that person lived, and beautifully carved sarcophagus. We went to Luxor Temple, went on a hot air balloon at 4:30AM to watch the sun rise over the temples, I was absolutely shattered when I got home. Absolutely fascinating place, you see photos but until you actually see it face to face, the scale of tombs, statues, buildings, you literally don't realise how large they really are, like many other ancient cultures and all built by hand and all still standing. The saddest part, we have technology and machines, and everything now is so goddamn bland and breaks easily. I love ancient history, sod off to recent World Wars that we learn at school.

    I am loving these videos so much. I've had an obsession with Egyptology since I was 7 and first learnt about Ancient Egypt, and have wanted to be an archaeologist for even longer (a dream that unfortunately will never be fulfilled). So these videos are giving me life. They're incredibly interesting, and the conversational way that you present the information makes it really easy to understand, and even easier to be drawn into the video. It's like we were in a room together, just casually talking about ancient history. I also really like when you pull out maps and images to show us and make sure we know exactly what/where you're referencing. Just, your videos are so cool and interesting and I'm so happy they exist. 7-year-old me is so jealous of current me for having resources like this. Thanks a million

    Full of my conceit, I thought, "I do not need another introduction to the VofK. What can they possibly say that hasn't been said a thousand times. But, I like them, so, I'll listen." Then you began to explain what I had never comprehended clearly - though I thought I had - and finish with Tut in a soup bowl! Again, you are amazing and this was delightful.

    @ssaverance1828 4 года назад

    Wow! Very interesting and informative video. I'm fascinated by the principle of "Maat" that you mentioned, which sounds very like the concept of "Logos" in ancient Greek philosophy (the basis for what we now call logic) or even the ideas of "Rta" or "The Tao". The most basic translation of "Logos" is "word" or "definition", but over time came to mean "logical argument", "discourse" or in Stoic philosophy, the mind or reason that pervaded and animated the universe. The word "Logos" was used famously by St. John the Evangelist in his gospel to describe the nature of Jesus Christ, and has become very important to Christian philosophy and theology. C.S. Lewis did some fascinating research in "The Abolition of Man" that compared the ideas of transcendent truth and (as a consequence) moral law across different world-views. Definitely would love to hear more about "Maat" in the future.
