There was a super good short series called Ancient Egyptians. It featured Bernard Hill as narrator and all the episodes were true stories that had been written down thousands of years ago. I'd def check it out. You get to see from the perspectives of people at war, sacred bull priestesses, merchants etc.

Similar to that of an US President, only harder. King is god's given right is more of a western concept that origin in the dark ages. In the rest of the world, it is best describe to say "human are pack animals and pack of human settle on a land is a tribe and a country is just a big ass tribe." Thus, a King or President is the Chieftain and considering it is a big ass tribe, it is a very hard job. Actually a King was a harder job then President, in modern democratic era, regional magistrates are self elected, so the President got no need to hold any responsibility to it, during the old days, the regional magistrate so, if they are corrupt or do a crappy job, to a certain extend, you are responsible for it too. (Much like today at war, the President appoint a crappy General, the people blame both the General and the President)
Ancient Egypt has always fascinated me so much. Ever since I was 8. When I was 8-10 I wanted to be an Egyptologist. The culture, language, history, clothing, religious beliefs are just so fascinating. It lasted such a long time, too. There’s even new archeological evidence of an Egyptian dynasty that existed before the recorded start of the Egyptian civilization, suggesting Egypt may be even older than we think.
Keira-Lyn Turner Tbh, I’m not gonna lie. That thought has crossed my mind. For some reason I’ve always had a somewhat magnetic attachment to anything related to ancient Egypt. Plus ancient Egyptian stuff always gave me this weird nostalgic feeling. Maybe it’s because I actually subconsciously miss it.

I went to a school called International studies 1st through 5th grade, and in 4th grade for a whole year we studied the history of Egypt,needless to say I was truly fascinated by it and it has always been my favorite year in school.
That seems a little bit one-sided though. When I went to school of course we also spent quite a bit of time on Egypt, although maybe not that long. Why so much focus on Egypt and often hardly any learning about other peoples and cultures that existed at the time, around the same area? For instance in my school at least we were not actually taught anything about the Hebrew people and their fascinating history, and who God is according to their own holy writings. I would have liked to have been taught about them as well. Way more interesting than the Egyptians. Yes, it is good to know about the Egyptians, but they were not the only people from the ancient world and it is just weird how schools always talk a lot about Egypt and not so much about others. We need to have a "big picture" understanding.
I like this guys humor his the reason too why I subscribed to this channel Not much of a fan though with the other NARRATORS. They sounded like my boring history professor. First video i watch was life in a medieval castle 🏰
British actors portraying Egyptians are not likely to have anything but a British accent. If you want to see how the Egyptians saw themselves then simply observe all the artwork. They presented themselves with skin colors from light to dark, but never portrayed themselves, as they did the Nubians, with dark kinky hair, very dark skin, broad noses and thick lips.
So sad.. You don’t even know who your ancestors were. You are probably from Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Ivory Coast.. but not from Egypt. Do you even look like Egyptians ? Black people have a great history too. The richest man of the history was Black. Why don’t you talk about him, instead of appropriating my culture ?
As an extremely hygienic individual who enjoys the act of bathing and putting on clean clothes, I can attest to feeling a bit tired after getting ready in the morning or getting ready for bed. It is tiring but I've never felt the need for help lol.
I will mention again, take these videos with a pinch of salt, they never use any sources to back their claims and have been proven to repeat misconceptions. Edit:You people in the comments ever heard of sources, it’s shocking how many people are upset because someone wants to know sources for a history video.
@Caila Porsch But, these guys literally have stated facts that are proven misconceptions. I get what you're saying but i don't think these guys do research beyond typing in Google search and finding random lists.
Ramesses II married at least three of his daughters. At the time, Egyptian princesses were not allowed to marry foreigners or anyone below their royal rank (while princes and pharaohs could), so princesses were subjected to marrying their brothers and fathers. A good chunk of Egyptian princesses would never get married because of their limited options, so it was an honor whenever marriage was proposed.
Can you talk more about the royal Egyptian diet? I've heard in some places that their bread was basically pound cakes, i.e. made with eggs, butter, milk, and honey. But I've also read that isotopic analyses indicate that Egyptian royalties' diet wasn't that different from peasants, in terms of animal protein content; it resembled modern lacto-ovo vegetarians.
Yeah wasn’t it like Cleopatra was 19 when she married her 10 year old brother? It’s so very very wrong on so many many levels EDIT: YES I KNOW IT WAS THE LAW, please stop telling me this. I was just saying it's weird and gross by today's standards.
Yeah you’re right. It’s just he most likely had barely even hit puberty. Just imagine a 5th grader marrying an early college student... that’s what especially grossed me out, other than the fact they had the exact same parents...
@@chunkyunicorn3996 well she was in love with the Caesar And her brother was a threat to her to the throne so that she poisoned this little 10 years old to be able to have the throne lol Imagine killing your 10 years old brother to be the president or the king !!!
@@hannahabdi3904 This kind of disgusting behaviour happened between different tribes for as long as humans have existed.....with the murder and the stealing of women and children and land.....that does not excuse it but I wish to tell you that white people did it fairly recently in human history but they are no different than others. There is a lot of human slavery and murder going on to this day in places like Africa for example.....people killing and enslaving their own. I don't like it when those of colour put down the whites as if they invented this behaviour. Please do some serious reading about such subjects in history. Let's work together to live in peace with each other.....and to heal the painful wounds.....please forgive us, all of you, for being no different than others who have gone before.
It’s pretty evident that leaders being spoiled wasn’t an invention by the leaders themselves but more of an attempt by the people being led to ensure the leader can focus 100% of their living energy on effectively leading everyone. The goal was to reduce their stress and remove all responsibility beyond governance. They would live, Eat and sleep leadership.
@@seifaldeen4598 Interesting, the so call royal families are still doing that today. They only marry their bloodline family members to keep their bloodline intact. They also practice incest, transgenderism, paedophilia etc, just like they did in Olde World Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman(etc) society, culture, norms. Same old same old. There is no new thing under the sun. THE CREATOR BLESS
I really enjoy your “what it was like...” videos! Maybe you could do more like that? I especially liked “what it was like to be a Civil War soldier.” Maybe you could do every era, like what it was like as a Revolutionary soldier, WW1, WW2, etc. Thanks!
4:33 I am laughing so much at this because imagine them carrying the pharaoh in this sand and then one of these men carrying him sinks his foot and the pharaoh just falls with his face in sand and says "Damn why did I wake up this morning?"
Everything in this video is accurate, some of the pharaohs would even leave earth to talk to other beings, it was a magical time, very spiritual and awakened than what the world is today, but not many will believe this, you had to be there in order to see it.
Actually they were serving demons (false gods) and in the grip of Satan. A life lived in spiritual darkness not knowing the true God. It wasn't at all great like you think. Unless you think serving demons is "great."
They were Egyptian....they wouldn’t identify themselves as black Africans... I’m not saying let’s keep casting whites as Egyptians but I wish people would stop applying our modern classification of ethnicity on ancient cultures.
amaugeri23 _ I was born in Egypt and it’s simple, Southerners are black and Northerners are mixed with Arab/Mediterranean cultures etc. So if you want to call Arab white then sure. Also the Ancient Egyptians were super oppressive towards my people (Nubians) who are super black so idk why so many black people idolise them.
What more on Egypt would you like to learn about?
The Apis bull parade and mummification process.
Also Medjays would be interesting ;D

1,000 Years from now: What like was like in the top one percent of America.
You had me at wigs and wine 🍷
Raven Wood really?
Thankyou!
Raven Wood well that escalated quickly 😂😂😂
The fans weren’t to keep the pharaohs cool, they were used to keep the bugs at bay. The fans wouldn’t have worked to move air anyway.
It was to keep the bugs off,yes, but also to shade them from the direct sunlight
Must have been brutally hot 🥵
I appreciate the illustrations here with the appropriate skin tones and varieties of the people.
3:42 "Not a morning person? Well too bad." 😹😹😹
I'm out
I like this guys humor his the reason too why I subscribed to this channel Not much of a fan though with the other NARRATORS. They sounded like my boring history professor. First video i watch was life in a medieval castle 🏰
Who else is tired of Egyptians being portrayed as white people with British accents in movies and other media?
British actors portraying Egyptians are not likely to have anything but a British accent. If you want to see how the Egyptians saw themselves then simply observe all the artwork. They presented themselves with skin colors from light to dark, but never portrayed themselves, as they did the Nubians, with dark kinky hair, very dark skin, broad noses and thick lips.
LinnErellie haha lmao you fucking people
LinnErellie haha 🤣 morning pillaging bitch
So sad.. You don’t even know who your ancestors were. You are probably from Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Ivory Coast.. but not from Egypt. Do you even look like Egyptians ? Black people have a great history too. The richest man of the history was Black. Why don’t you talk about him, instead of appropriating my culture ?
Bloodline because you can clearly see me😂🖕🏾
As an extremely hygienic individual who enjoys the act of bathing and putting on clean clothes, I can attest to feeling a bit tired after getting ready in the morning or getting ready for bed. It is tiring but I've never felt the need for help lol.
I felt the same....
This sounds better than living in a castle.
I will mention again, take these videos with a pinch of salt, they never use any sources to back their claims and have been proven to repeat misconceptions.
Edit:You people in the comments ever heard of sources, it’s shocking how many people are upset because someone wants to know sources for a history video.
Go away. For reals.
Isn’t Ranker a history site or am I being an idiot
Oh shut up.
@Caila Porsch But, these guys literally have stated facts that are proven misconceptions. I get what you're saying but i don't think these guys do research beyond typing in Google search and finding random lists.
Calm ur tits fam
Ramesses II married at least three of his daughters. At the time, Egyptian princesses were not allowed to marry foreigners or anyone below their royal rank (while princes and pharaohs could), so princesses were subjected to marrying their brothers and fathers. A good chunk of Egyptian princesses would never get married because of their limited options, so it was an honor whenever marriage was proposed.
🤢🤮
Ewww
Hatshepsut was the first female Pharaoh
Doesn’t that credit go to the Middle Kingdom ruler Sobeknefru?
She was not the first. She was the second of three.
4:03 Ancient Egyptians have been found to have ingested both the coffee bean, and the coca leaves《cocaine》
If anyone needed some coke to boost them it’s the Pharaohs
Can you talk more about the royal Egyptian diet? I've heard in some places that their bread was basically pound cakes, i.e. made with eggs, butter, milk, and honey. But I've also read that isotopic analyses indicate that Egyptian royalties' diet wasn't that different from peasants, in terms of animal protein content; it resembled modern lacto-ovo vegetarians.
0:26 don't worry we'll get your family back😢
Yeah wasn’t it like Cleopatra was 19 when she married her 10 year old brother? It’s so very very wrong on so many many levels
EDIT: YES I KNOW IT WAS THE LAW, please stop telling me this. I was just saying it's weird and gross by today's standards.
Stacy Peterson By today’s standard yes. In her mind she was preserving the bloodline. Gross but true
Yeah you’re right. It’s just he most likely had barely even hit puberty. Just imagine a 5th grader marrying an early college student... that’s what especially grossed me out, other than the fact they had the exact same parents...
@@chunkyunicorn3996 well she was in love with the Caesar
And her brother was a threat to her to the throne so that she poisoned this little 10 years old to be able to have the throne lol
Imagine killing your 10 years old brother to be the president or the king !!!
@@mtraa.942 yikes. Are they siblings?
@@laeafa6784 yeah Cleopatra married her 10 years old brother then she poisoned him to take the throne
Bruh why am I watching this at 4 in the morning, all this is so interesting to me 😭😭
Well written and narrated - great content too. I love ❤️ this channel!
I'm glad for finding this channel I love the history💖🤗
iam so proud to be Egyptian . i wish i was born in that era not in the current one:(
Then you'd either be a slave or a ruler... and very least likely to be a ruler. Be happy with what you have.
@Erasing The Future and ??? Who dont like to take a dump in there yard and use linen or leaves to wipe ??
Current Egypt is so retarded
No offense bro Arabs didn’t come to Egypt to later time way way later the original Egyptian were black not Arabs
I am not Egyptian or I was not from UK 🇬🇧 but I just wanted to be a queen of any country
Imagine how ripped you’d be being a fan bearer
This is actually a pretty good video! Normally videos are the same 5 facts regurgitated over and over.
What was history really like Native Americans ?
Which tribe? Pretty diverse group. You had peaceful ones, whacked out violent ones etc.
@@hannahabdi3904 This kind of disgusting behaviour happened between different tribes for as long as humans have existed.....with the murder and the stealing of women and children and land.....that does not excuse it but I wish to tell you that white people did it fairly recently in human history but they are no different than others. There is a lot of human slavery and murder going on to this day in places like Africa for example.....people killing and enslaving their own. I don't like it when those of colour put down the whites as if they invented this behaviour. Please do some serious reading about such subjects in history. Let's work together to live in peace with each other.....and to heal the painful wounds.....please forgive us, all of you, for being no different than others who have gone before.
LinnErellie haha wtf, dude?
Sad
Lol give it up blk ppl were the first Egyptians
I love these videos. The little JVN pop up in the eyeliner killed me
It’s pretty evident that leaders being spoiled wasn’t an invention by the leaders themselves but more of an attempt by the people being led to ensure the leader can focus 100% of their living energy on effectively leading everyone. The goal was to reduce their stress and remove all responsibility beyond governance. They would live, Eat and sleep leadership.
john smith 😂
They married their sisters😬😬
jatinder saini And those same sisters were either their Aunts or mothers as well
Cleopatra was 19 when she married her 10 year old brother, I think
They were doing that to keep the royal blood in the family because they were can not married some doesn't have the royal blood
Ik, it’s just really disgusting by today’s standards. Plus, just imagine a 5th grader marrying an early college student...,
@@seifaldeen4598 Interesting, the so call royal families are still doing that today. They only marry their bloodline family members to keep their bloodline intact. They also practice incest, transgenderism, paedophilia etc, just like they did in Olde World Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman(etc) society, culture, norms.
Same old same old. There is no new thing under the sun.
THE CREATOR BLESS
People keep telling me I can’t learn anything from RUclips.
*Channels like this one: Hold my beer, I got books to read!*
I have been here when i went to Egypt . It is breath taking ....
Great show very educational, and insightful.
I really enjoy your “what it was like...” videos! Maybe you could do more like that? I especially liked “what it was like to be a Civil War soldier.” Maybe you could do every era, like what it was like as a Revolutionary soldier, WW1, WW2, etc. Thanks!
Why don't u look all that up and read about it
I didn’t know Ramsey II has over 100 kids, that man is wild asfff lmao. He lived a wild ride
5000 years later and beard wigs are coming back 💀
I love your channel! Keep it up! Love and support from the Philippines! 💪😁❤️🇵🇭
I learn better from your channel than I have when I was in high school
4:33 I am laughing so much at this because imagine them carrying the pharaoh in this sand and then one of these men carrying him sinks his foot and the pharaoh just falls with his face in sand and says "Damn why did I wake up this morning?"
I’d love to see some Chinese ancient history from this channel ❣
Doesn't matter what they were doing....still they didn't have air conditioning,high quality commodes etc ........
Love history. Like the way you do the narration. Good job
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!! Just discovered it . The narrators smooth witty remarks , history made so fun . I LOVE IT
i would actually like a triple A game, in the style of elder scrolls, where you can explore the ancient world
3:15, I’ve just decided that at a certain point in time, everyone looked like Freud.
I heard on a TV show that Egypt was the perfect community considering laws and loyalty.
That’s true. Ancient Kemet was great!
I really love the sense of humor in this videos
Where does children's cards games fit in all of these?
I wasn't sure this was making the reference I thought it was. Then I saw your name. Well played, 225677th Fragment XD
THE CORPSE EMPEROR SHOULD BE ASHAMED
No seriously, what' with the xeno lolis running around in the Imperial Palace?
The Governments Of The World Don't Want You To Know About That. If You Want That Forbidden Knowledge,You Must First Win It In A Duel.
IT'S TIME TO DUEL!
Everything in this video is accurate, some of the pharaohs would even leave earth to talk to other beings, it was a magical time, very spiritual and awakened than what the world is today, but not many will believe this, you had to be there in order to see it.
And you were there?
Actually they were serving demons (false gods) and in the grip of Satan. A life lived in spiritual darkness not knowing the true God. It wasn't at all great like you think. Unless you think serving demons is "great."
“Pharaohs were both Gods and real estate developers… a classic toxic power combo” 😂 wth 🤦🏽♀️
😂😂😂
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a fascinating topic and video, that would be a stressful lifestyle!
It's pure ADDICTION I'm binge watching and I love it
How was the food during this time?
Cheese puff it was said in the video
Edible

No gmo
Is it just me or does this guy sound like stephen colbert?

Nah....no shitty Trump jokes...
Adam and eve's children did marry each other so it is not that weired
@Kristie C so point and show us all where the bad man touched you.....trump is an ass...but hes a great President...period.....Trump 2020
Sounds like Patton Oswalt
I'm really interested in egyptology, u should do more vids related to it 👍
Play assassins creed origins
So interesting ,art work-perfect. Thank you and keep it up.
I learned all I needed to know through The Bangles and Steve Martin.
"Why did they wear beard-wigs?"
Err, because some of them were ladies. Silly.
They mimic the beard of the God Osiris..
Can we not continue to depict the Egyptians as white? They were black Africans, and it really does matter
They were Egyptian....they wouldn’t identify themselves as black Africans...
I’m not saying let’s keep casting whites as Egyptians but I wish people would stop applying our modern classification of ethnicity on ancient cultures.
Thank you!!! Like what the hell !? They’re literally trying to change our damn history
We wuz kangz?
They’re not black! 😂 have you seen modern Egyptians? I work with an Egyptian born full blood Egyptian and he is definitely not black.
amaugeri23 _ I was born in Egypt and it’s simple, Southerners are black and Northerners are mixed with Arab/Mediterranean cultures etc. So if you want to call Arab white then sure.
Also the Ancient Egyptians were super oppressive towards my people (Nubians) who are super black so idk why so many black people idolise them.
