I’m almost 62 (in a few days), and as a kid in school I didn’t like history, but now I’m obsessed with learning about anything historical and that’s because of videos like this where it’s brought to life!
happy late birthday! even if you are still old, we still have some interests, take my grandpa for example, he's 70 and still playing with legos like a little kid. wising you a blessed week!
I really do wish I enjoyed history back when I was in school, I can learn about it now which is amazing but I do wish I was fascinated by it during all those years in school lol
This is a brilliant channel. I'm an Australian mum who is homeschooling my Year 7 son during the covid19 lockdown. He's studying Ancient Eygypt and this video has been a great help for him. I hope this channel grows.
Actually my 2 sons (8 and 10 y/o) also get some world history at school. Its called cosmic education. Its not that heavy ofc but really educational for those kids. I bet its something about the same what your son is learning at school.
Where I live, world history class is very disorganized, like they jump from topic to topic to topic, and the crazy thing is, a world history teacher told me that you don’t learn about Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, or Ancient Egypt! They do however learn about Ancient Mesoamerica, and the Incas which is also pretty cool! Your child is lucky to learn about Ancient Egypt in school!
@@theanimalguy3077Greece, Egypt, Persia were my favorite, i read books on Greek mythology starting age 8 or 9, on my own, not in school. My 8th grade history class was right after lunch. ALL the students were zoned out or asleep. I sat in the back, alert, sitting up and super interested when my teacher droned on about Mesopotamia, Tigres and Euphrates, etc.
I. M. That’s really cool! I always had an interest in history, ever since I was young. In 8th grade, we learned about American History mostly in Social studies class. We talked mostly about history that happened less than a century ago! However, I read about ancient history in the internet, and the many history books I own!
How about daily life in ancient china, japan, India and Scandinavia? Also, daily life for a samurai, an emperor, a shogun, a concubine and a viking. Those would be cool! I love your channel, please keep up the great work.
Hey Pauline👋 a very belated, nevertheless ‘warm’, ‘Welcome!’ then 🙂🌴🐪🔺☀️🌿&, ‘Yes’, many Egyptian farmers, most specially in Southern[Upper] Egypt still live in houses very similar in design & details to the ones shown here, i think it’s a really awesome architectural heritage & a beautifully simple way of life🙂 All the Best to You🌿
Modern Egyptians look little to nothing like the Ancient Dynasty inhabitants. For an idea of what they would look like you need to look to their closest living genetic relatives, Armenians. Anglos also have a ton of ancient Egyptian DNA
A very nicely done video indeed! Just two critical comments if I may: (1) There are camels shown in one scene near the beginning of the video. The problem is that there were no camels in Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians only had donkeys and horses, but no camels. They were introduced to North Africa after the fall of Ancient Egypt to other powers such as the Greeks and Romans. (2) A number of the lower-class men shown in the video are wearing head wrappings and body garb much like Arabs have worn over the centuries. The video rarely shows Ancient Egyptians sporting the typical hairstyles and linen blouses and skirts we typically see in all their artwork.
It was very weak and watery. Only just enough alcohol to ensure it was sterilised. Same throughout much of the world. It was the most certain way of making sure water was drinkable and would not make people ill or kill them. Of course beer could be a made more strong and abused but by and large on a daily basis it was extremely weak.
Fantastic!! My favorite parts of documentaries are the recreation clips but they’re always short. I can never get enough of Ancient Egypt! Please make more!! Great work! 💜
It would be super cool to a West African or Central African Empire like Mali, and the daily life of a griot in Timbuktu! Maybe you'll do them while you're in Africa since a lot of people don't know about them.
In some ways I think these Ancient Civiliations had something cosmic to them and were more advanced than us . Nobody today even with sheer manpower ( let alone modern technology) can recreate the magnificent Pyramids
My son and I visited Egypt, we had a wonderful time! We went to the Pyramids at Giza on Dec. 31, 1999, to bring in 2020. We saw THE TWELVE DREAMS OF THE SUN music festival with Michel Jared. I would love to go again.
This is a nice documentary, the only mistake is the narrator's repeated insistence of Egyptians lack of currency which is entirely False. Egyptians used a measurement of weight in gold & silver as currency. You can't have an established civilization with a merchant class & no formal & centralized structural system of coinage. Barter trade doesn't work in city states let alone a unified empire like Egypt. This a historical fact attested by egyptologists & anthropologists.
It's not completely wrong to say that the (pre Tolemaic) Egyptian economy was based on barter, on the one hand because there was no currency (i.e. combining the functions of unit of account, means of payment and store of value), and on the other hand because certain painted scenes showed goods being exchanged in markets. However writings has explicit references to units of accounting (called "shat"), referenced with text as "I paid 10 shats for a cloth". We do not know what "shat" was or how much it actually valued. In any case it was not a currency as we intend it. It was used for accounting and made payment of taxes, and exchange of goods easier.
Not entirely sure this is the most reliable information. It even contradicts itself at some points. Still, it give you that documentary/escapism feel and that's what we're all here for really anyway.
The beer the average person drank at this time and for many thousands of years was something known as a "breakfast" beer, probably no more then 2% alcohol if not less.

Good work but you need to review your information about the Nile as toilet for few reasons. 1- the Nile had a god and it was part of the religion and up on death the normal Egyptian had to confirm inform of gods ( I never committed a pollution or through dirt in the Nile or ruining water). 2- Egyptian villages normally was far from the Nile and it was at the age of desert or hill to be safe from high water level for 5 month a year. As Egyptian I thank you for your efforts.
You should've explained that old Egypt beer was only contain super tiny amount of alcohol, though... Also the fact the beer was completely different to beers we're having today & less bubbly.
hi from Mexico! Excellent documentary on what life in ancient egypt was like! The depictions were excellent throughout. We made one also on what happened to the largest city in the western world, and why the population vanished.
@@user-sm7og6fi3j Aztec were Mongolian branch of Russia that migrated to mesoamerica but the human sacrifices is all Illuminati aka Vatican Elite BS .. it's what they do best, the animal and child sacrifices, not the Natives.
@@marchionessamoretto7326 That is absolute rubbish. The FACT that the aztecs were into human sacrifice and cannibalism (they farmed humans for meat) - is undisputed, any archaeologist that has studied the aztecs will verify this - only plebs with romantic fantasies about savagery dispute this. There's a very good reason why the jungle tribes sided with the European Spaniards against those that were enslaving, working them to death and eating them.
… archaeology digs of free families have turned up furniture fragments of tables, chairs, beds and chests made into wicker from swamp grasses. Cotton was also made into many items, like hammocks, bedding and pillows. Weavers also used animal hair for varieties of items. What a free family didn’t grow, they bartered crops for. These luxury items and skins to sleep on were often wedding gifts for a young couple just starting off.

I travelled Egypt several years ago and really not much had changed for local farmers. Outside of the the major cities, life is still extremely dependent up on the river for farming, and people still live simple lives.
MAYBE for local farmers, but i've visited Egypt last year and that place has been rundown by the invader's descendants. The Nile River is so filthy it's borderline hazardous to drink from (except in Upper Egypt near Aswan where in indigenous Nubians take care of the river). The streets of Cairo is laden with garbage, and sky was almost always grey and gloomy from pollution (rarely was it ever blue).
Have you ever thought about doing Cahokia in Missouri, US? Definitely one of the most underrated ancient cities. Was apparently the biggest city in the world for a while in the middle ages, I watched the 2017 eclipse from the mound the main temple used to be on, it was really cool.
The historians Pliney, Herodotus and others wrote that Egypt was a fertile well watered place with large forests...all of North Africa was a grassland prarie where the grain of the Roman empire was grown in places like Cyrene and Carthage... see books "The Egyptian" By Waltari and "Ancient Evenings" by Mailer
@@mm-er6bo :) :) :) Yes, I sorta remember that Almost 3000BC was when Noah's flood happened!!! So yes, I can agree that the Sahara was somewhat wet at that time !!!
@lisangel Yes of course Egypt is in North Africa!!! Egypt's North coast is on the Mediterranian sea on the African Coast!!! Look on a map! Several hundred miles West of the Nile River is or was the huge ancient city of Cyrene (Crenica today) now Eastern Lybia, and West of that a few hundred more miles is Tunisia, ancient Carthage!!!
@lisangel Yes, there was one dynasty where Egypt was overrun by the blacks from the far south...Otherwise all reputible history shows that the Egyptians were a Mediterranian likelt olive skinned people...however there were people in Egypt from all over the Med world in Egypt... Please do your homework like I have done !!!
@lisangel Black Africans ruled Egypt for one dynasty...Otherwise Egyptians were the Mediterranian peoples from many different Med nations just like today... only a minority were black...
You should make a video on "Indus Valley Civilization" - [ The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. ]
@Dino Gamer Indus Valley Civilisation is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. How do you say that? First Google it the ( oldest civilizations in the world ) and update your knowledge.
@Dino Gamer Yes, I know but, I said Indus Valley is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. And you said that... "they only study international history " So I just wanted to say that Indus Valley Civilization is also part of International Research. If you don't know about Indus Valley so read the wiki article on it first.
I can recommend the audio lectures from Bob Brier titled History of Ancient Egypt from the Great Courses. He himself is a specialist on mummies and dedicates some time to the embalming process, as well as his own attempt at mummifying a body, which was the first known effort since 2000 years.
lol modern day Egyptians share almost zero genetic similarity to ancient Egyptians. You know who does? Europeans. Modern day Egyptians are not the same 12,000 years ago
It's really weird to be proud of a heritage that your people actually ruined lmao. Pharaohs had red/blonde hair. Go and complain to these mummies for not having an afro
You modern day Egyptians are plunderers of Saudi and Yemeni blood. The kemetic Egyptians were black and you executed them in the name of your Illuminati aka Vatican Elite who created Islam.
It was not about war and just working, MAAT was the morale standards of the People given by Divine Neters(Gods), most house had an alter altar and shrine to a Neter.
@Memphis Girgis Atrees you seem to think you know more than the Greek and Romans who visithered there 😂, they all described them as dark skinned and/or black
@@yusefbrooks8584 None of the ancient Greek visitors described them as black. Your petty mis-translations that you propagate to steal Egyptian history is long exposed. 😉
@@GORO911 Yes they did, and I am not "stealing" anything just because they were black doesn't make it my history all black people don't come from the same place. Herodotus said the ancient Egyptians were as dark as the Dravidians, who can be black skinned. You anti-black attitude makes you incapable of accepting what they were
@@yusefbrooks8584 Herodotus said no such thing. Try your petty lies somewhere else. As a matter of fact Herodotus said the Egyptians look like Colchians (Georgians). Georgia is a country literally by the Caucasus mountains. These are the people Herodotus described as identical to the ancient Egyptians.
There is so much you guys got right ! Would love to see the temples and city described in Gilgamesh. I would also like to call your attention to an exhibit called "Gods In Color - Polychromy in Antiquity" which shows just how ancient statuary was painted - it also gives examples of the actual ancient color palette, sourced by academics.
This is soo.. great! I was a Visual Communication Design student, I know how hard and complex to make a 3D modeling. Especially for this animated documentary. all that setting and characters asset just... wow... I subscribed to this!
I would love to see doctors and medicine. I understand that, for their time and certainly not by today's standards, their dental care was pretty creative and medicine was advanced.
By far and away the best YT channel on Egypt or ancient history anywhere! Subscribed now, I feel it is my Civic duty to watch and like every upload on this channel immediately! 😁
Great video - I love ancient history. If you want to see the flooding of the Nile, check out the mosaic of the Nile at Palestrina in the Temple of Fortuna. The detail is fascinating. I thought this flooding lasted a week or two but it turns out it lasted many months from June to October regularly and predictably. There was no large scale farming at this time of year but there was a lot of fishing and water related activities. The flooded Nile was incredibly rich in fish, birds and all kinds of wild life. By October the waters had receded to a manageable level and the large scale wheat farming started. The yield of wheat was so prolific that free farmers could do very well indeed, especially since slaves did a lot of the work. Herodotus describes the annual flooding of the Nile and even mentions details like how people slept on platforms as high as possible to avoid the mosquitoes that the flooding produced.
Great video! I'd love to learn more about Egyptian Physicians (Doctors) Especially Imhotep of the 3rd Dynasty (Djozer) who was also a polymath/architect/high priest/Royal Vizier and ancient healer. Keep up the great vids. Thank you. :)
@@misst.e.a.187 Just the same like any other history. I mean, isn't that obvious? For example, humanity first language, you don't need to live on that era where humanity created their first language to understand that it was something amazing, do you?
Thank you for the fascinating and lovely video: you were able to give life to people from thousands of years ago. Not all information was completely accurate, but that's secondary to the main topic of showing a lifestyle from a very ancient time.
That statistic is false and is the reason why we don't depend on averages. The reason the number drops to middle age is because infant mortality was counted among the deaths in calculating the average. In reality, everybody who lived past infancy survived for just as long as we do today. Suppose we had a sample size of four 40 year old adults, and four 5 year old kids. 40(4) + 5(4) = 160 + 20 = 180. Now since we have eight people, 180/8 would put the average age at 22.5. Hence why you ought not to trust averages, which is where the misleading "average man died middle-aged" comes from. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
@Till This Day no the point was that we ought not to depend on averages to make such judgements. And I quote "is the reason why we don't depend on averages." Thus rendering the affirmation "everybody who lived past infancy" valid.
@Till This Day >To claim that ancient people lived as long as we did would be to claim that mankind has not progressed one bit in terms of healthcare This is a fallacy because these statements aren't even convertible and bear no relationship to each other. It is like claiming that "if ancient people built megalithic structures, then construction equipment has not progressed," an absurdity. It's idiots like you who believe that progress is a linear graph, where if anything doesn't conform to modern expectations, you can't believe it to be the case. Also, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, are few of the many examples of folks who have lived well into their 60s, 70s, and 80s. You never cited any "documents" of yours.
Thank you so much, brother, for the valuable information. You might like to know that until now there is an important feast called : Sham el Nesim ( the Monday immediately following Easter, although now Egypt a Muslim country). Coming always in Spring, this feast is all about breathing the fresh air of spring and eating green onion, lettuce and the salted fish. Bastet: Egyptian calls a cat by : "Bssss", different from how you would call the cat in North America. Also, that meat was rare. But , regarding medical development, yes, age span was low, but there were evidence in discovered tombs that there was a brain surgery, after which the man lived for some years, also bone fracture splint, after which the bone healed. Also, about bear. Sophia (an Egyptian in US) Of course I will go see the 'Bastet' episode as I am a cat lover. Again, thank you kindly as I am a history maniac....
The true biblical Egyptians and the 12 tribes of Israel were black people. the black people in western, central, south, and east Africa. The west and the world need to stop spreading their propaganda lies. When Yahshua comes back. everyone will see and accept the truth. YOU PEOPLE IN THE WEST, EAST, HAVE TRIED TO COVER UP BLACK HISTORY BUT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DOING IT. You people have lied to the whole world. You take the Torah(holy bible) and whitewash it. you take black history and whitewash it. if you guys could take Egypt out of the continent of Africa, you would. just to cover up your generational lies and deceit. the ancient city of Atlantis is in the continent of africa.i
Excellent work. Loved your hard work. Just an honest suggestions, wish the colour grading was not so golden warm. Love to see light hint of natural colours.
It was not called kemet that name came up from afrocentrics the Egyptians named themselves Rmtk (the people) ,kemet is a pre dynastic name and early dynastic refrence to the nile (black land) later egypt had claim over the desert (red land/desserts) was symbolised by pharoah red crown Egypt went by many names like t-mry (beloved land) Ta-wry(dual land) and mdr (forest) Agipt(short of het-geb-ptah)(palace creator of God ptah) Kemet was hardly used to name egypt You never find a pharoah called nesu/nebi kem-et (king of Lord of black land)

Good work but you need to review your information about the Nile as toilet for few reasons. 1- the Nile had a god and it was part of the religion and up on death the normal Egyptian had to confirm inform of gods ( I never committed a pollution or through dirt in the Nile or ruining water). 2- Egyptian villages normally was far from the Nile and it was at the age of desert or hill to be safe from high water level for 5 month a year.
As Egyptian I thank you for your efforts.
But they did dump waste in the river and in the streets as well in the fields. It's a fact.
I think the soo called “modern Egyptian” are not the Egyptians we are talking about in this vedio now .

You should've explained that old Egypt beer was only contain super tiny amount of alcohol, though... Also the fact the beer was completely different to beers we're having today & less bubbly.
hi from Mexico! Excellent documentary on what life in ancient egypt was like! The depictions were excellent throughout. We made one also on what happened to the largest city in the western world, and why the population vanished.
Why you left this Channel? Was so amazing
Please do one about the Aztecs.
They were grotesque.
@@user-sm7og6fi3j Aztec were Mongolian branch of Russia that migrated to mesoamerica but the human sacrifices is all Illuminati aka Vatican Elite BS .. it's what they do best, the animal and child sacrifices, not the Natives.
@@marchionessamoretto7326 native Americans and Aztecs are Mongoloids ?
@Marcos Sealey nah they really weren't
@@marchionessamoretto7326 That is absolute rubbish. The FACT that the aztecs were into human sacrifice and cannibalism (they farmed humans for meat) - is undisputed, any archaeologist that has studied the aztecs will verify this - only plebs with romantic fantasies about savagery dispute this. There's a very good reason why the jungle tribes sided with the European Spaniards against those that were enslaving, working them to death and eating them.
3:03 History doesn't have to be glamorous to be interesting, and even a lifetime of daily work can still be enjoyable.
Your channel is great! I would love to see a documentary on Egyptian spirituality, the role & daily lives of High Priestesses, important temples. 😊🙏✨
… archaeology digs of free families have turned up furniture fragments of tables, chairs, beds and chests made into wicker from swamp grasses. Cotton was also made into many items, like hammocks, bedding and pillows. Weavers also used animal hair for varieties of items. What a free family didn’t grow, they bartered crops for. These luxury items and skins to sleep on were often wedding gifts for a young couple just starting off.

Wow. This is great for anyone doing a presentation project on ancient Egypt. Looks anazing!
Yes! This would be great for anyone doing a project on Ancient Kemet

I travelled Egypt several years ago and really not much had changed for local farmers. Outside of the the major cities, life is still extremely dependent up on the river for farming, and people still live simple lives.
MAYBE for local farmers, but i've visited Egypt last year and that place has been rundown by the invader's descendants. The Nile River is so filthy it's borderline hazardous to drink from (except in Upper Egypt near Aswan where in indigenous Nubians take care of the river). The streets of Cairo is laden with garbage, and sky was almost always grey and gloomy from pollution (rarely was it ever blue).
@@blackgenesisbegins4192
Modern Egyptians are the indigenous Egyptians.
Nubians were only slaves and mercenaries throughout Egyptian history.
Have you ever thought about doing Cahokia in Missouri, US? Definitely one of the most underrated ancient cities. Was apparently the biggest city in the world for a while in the middle ages, I watched the 2017 eclipse from the mound the main temple used to be on, it was really cool.
Such a beautiful culture. I love ALL things Ancient Egypt. Such a fascinating heritage and history and VERY good looking as a people.
Awesome!
شكرًا لمشاركتنا هذا🕊
The historians Pliney, Herodotus and others wrote that Egypt was a fertile well watered place with large forests...all of North Africa was a grassland prarie where the grain of the Roman empire was grown in places like Cyrene and Carthage... see books "The Egyptian" By Waltari and "Ancient Evenings" by Mailer
I’m disagreeing but how did it turn from a forest to a desert in just a few thousand years seems rushed even by there standards
@@mm-er6bo :) :) :) Yes, I sorta remember that Almost 3000BC was when Noah's flood happened!!! So yes, I can agree that the Sahara was somewhat wet at that time !!!
@lisangel Yes of course Egypt is in North Africa!!! Egypt's North coast is on the Mediterranian sea on the African Coast!!! Look on a map! Several hundred miles West of the Nile River is or was the huge ancient city of Cyrene (Crenica today) now Eastern Lybia, and West of that a few hundred more miles is Tunisia, ancient Carthage!!!
@lisangel Yes, there was one dynasty where Egypt was overrun by the blacks from the far south...Otherwise all reputible history shows that the Egyptians were a Mediterranian likelt olive skinned people...however there were people in Egypt from all over the Med world in Egypt... Please do your homework like I have done !!!
@lisangel Black Africans ruled Egypt for one dynasty...Otherwise Egyptians were the Mediterranian peoples from many different Med nations just like today... only a minority were black...
You should make a video on "Indus Valley Civilization" - [ The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. ]
@Dino Gamer Indus Valley Civilisation is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. How do you say that? First Google it the ( oldest civilizations in the world ) and update your knowledge.
@Dino Gamer Yes, I know but, I said Indus Valley is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. And you said that...
"they only study international history
"
So I just wanted to say that Indus Valley Civilization is also part of International Research. If you don't know about Indus Valley so read the wiki article on it first.
Dino Gamer Lol does the Indus valley’s history not count as “international history”?? 😂😂😂
I'd Love to see a documentary on the Egyptian embalmers. I find the process fascinating. Thank you. Your videos are top notch!
I can recommend the audio lectures from Bob Brier titled History of Ancient Egypt from the Great Courses. He himself is a specialist on mummies and dedicates some time to the embalming process, as well as his own attempt at mummifying a body, which was the first known effort since 2000 years.
I would simply love to see other videos like this about Babylon, Assyrian, Persian
He can’t do that
yeah I am Egyptian and I very proud about my history
Proud egyptian
We have rich heritage
lol modern day Egyptians share almost zero genetic similarity to ancient Egyptians. You know who does? Europeans. Modern day Egyptians are not the same 12,000 years ago
Ancient Egyptians were black. And yes, their heritage is incredibly rich...
Try again I will always be proud of my heritage Proud egyptian We invented your mom's make ups
It's really weird to be proud of a heritage that your people actually ruined lmao. Pharaohs had red/blonde hair. Go and complain to these mummies for not having an afro
You modern day Egyptians are plunderers of Saudi and Yemeni blood. The kemetic Egyptians were black and you executed them in the name of your Illuminati aka Vatican Elite who created Islam.
This is such high quality material! Loving all of these videos.
I'd love to see Soldiers, Scribes, Healers, & Pharaoh's daily life please!🥰
Who knew history could be so fascinating? Great job!!! 😲👌
Amazing ! Defo need more episodes from this channel
It was not about war and just working, MAAT was the morale standards of the People given by Divine Neters(Gods), most house had an alter altar and shrine to a Neter.
@Memphis Girgis Atrees *You will forever remain ignorant*
@Memphis Girgis Atrees you seem to think you know more than the Greek and Romans who visithered there 😂, they all described them as dark skinned and/or black
@@yusefbrooks8584
None of the ancient Greek visitors described them as black.
Your petty mis-translations that you propagate to steal Egyptian history is long exposed. 😉
@@GORO911 Yes they did, and I am not "stealing" anything just because they were black doesn't make it my history all black people don't come from the same place. Herodotus said the ancient Egyptians were as dark as the Dravidians, who can be black skinned. You anti-black attitude makes you incapable of accepting what they were
@@yusefbrooks8584
Herodotus said no such thing.
Try your petty lies somewhere else.
As a matter of fact Herodotus said the Egyptians look like Colchians (Georgians).
Georgia is a country literally by the Caucasus mountains.
These are the people Herodotus described as identical to the ancient Egyptians.
Just found and joined this channel! So excited! Always loved anything ancient Egypt. :))
I agree. I love anything Ancient Kemet also
@@stonewallis4373😂😂
There is so much you guys got right ! Would love to see the temples and city described in Gilgamesh. I would also like to call your attention to an exhibit called "Gods In Color - Polychromy in Antiquity" which shows just how ancient statuary was painted - it also gives examples of the actual ancient color palette, sourced by academics.
Very well organized information. My 6th grade students loved the graphics and information shown about the everyday lives of ancient Egyptians
Hope you give a continuation to this channel in a long time. I DO LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!! Super useful way of understanding historical frameworks.
This is soo.. great! I was a Visual Communication Design student, I know how hard and complex to make a 3D modeling. Especially for this animated documentary. all that setting and characters asset just... wow...
I subscribed to this!
He did absolutely nothing
I would love to see doctors and medicine. I understand that, for their time and certainly not by today's standards, their dental care was pretty creative and medicine was advanced.
You will find that better in ancient Indian civilization. Not the Islamic invasion
Advanced for their time.
Very creative, they used wax with herbs as chewing gum/breath refresherners.
They actually had penicillin
@@INDPRECIOUSMETALS Egpty better
I love this channel... Everything is so perfectly described ❤️👍🏽
This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen! I just wish it wasn't interrupted by the ads.
This is a very important Documentary, due to the fact that little is found in History Books about the every day life of the Peasant in Ancient Egypt.
This was so so interesting!! I love this channel ❤️
I'm obsessed with ancient Egypt , ancient Greece(Rome), ancient India.
O my god, this us what history lesson is suppossed to be. So clear, fascinating and not boring at all
By far and away the best YT channel on Egypt or ancient history anywhere! Subscribed now, I feel it is my Civic duty to watch and like every upload on this channel immediately! 😁
Fantastic!!! Homeschool parents are thrilled with your channel. Thank you so much!
I know a lot about Ancient Egypt, but this is wonderful the way you are showing what life was like! Excellent
Did it really look this beautiful?
Great video - I love ancient history. If you want to see the flooding of the Nile, check out the mosaic of the Nile at Palestrina in the Temple of Fortuna. The detail is fascinating. I thought this flooding lasted a week or two but it turns out it lasted many months from June to October regularly and predictably. There was no large scale farming at this time of year but there was a lot of fishing and water related activities. The flooded Nile was incredibly rich in fish, birds and all kinds of wild life. By October the waters had receded to a manageable level and the large scale wheat farming started. The yield of wheat was so prolific that free farmers could do very well indeed, especially since slaves did a lot of the work. Herodotus describes the annual flooding of the Nile and even mentions details like how people slept on platforms as high as possible to avoid the mosquitoes that the flooding produced.
Great video! I'd love to learn more about Egyptian Physicians (Doctors) Especially Imhotep of the 3rd Dynasty (Djozer) who was also a polymath/architect/high priest/Royal Vizier and ancient healer. Keep up the great vids. Thank you. :)
I really enjoyed this. I'm a student of Ancient Civilizations--especially Egypt and I can only hope for more. Well done!
I like your video so much I pushed follow up Button 😊.
Ancient Egypt was amazing, we lost all this history
@Till This Day you really are ignorant
How do you know it was amazing by watching a video?
We lost the black people who are the real deal called Kemetians who are wiped out by impostors of Saudi Arabia and Yemeni.
@@misst.e.a.187 Just the same like any other history. I mean, isn't that obvious? For example, humanity first language, you don't need to live on that era where humanity created their first language to understand that it was something amazing, do you?
God’s punishment on Pharoah and those who followed Pharoah
Thank you for the fascinating and lovely video: you were able to give life to people from thousands of years ago.
Not all information was completely accurate, but that's secondary to the main topic of showing a lifestyle from a very ancient time.
He didn’t make the footage
He stole it from a game
Stolen from a ACO
Fantastic! So much work must go into this! Would love to see more videos on Egyptian mythology - the underworld, Anubis, mummification etc
The food segment at 17:00 --19:00 makes a McDonald's value meal look surprisingly appealing.
This channels is incredible, can you shine light on persian , islamic and Indian empires? Each truly has fascinating history and architecture 😊
Staying lean is much easier when you die before middle-age.
That statistic is false and is the reason why we don't depend on averages. The reason the number drops to middle age is because infant mortality was counted among the deaths in calculating the average.
In reality, everybody who lived past infancy survived for just as long as we do today.
Suppose we had a sample size of four 40 year old adults, and four 5 year old kids.
40(4) + 5(4) = 160 + 20 = 180.
Now since we have eight people, 180/8 would put the average age at 22.5.
Hence why you ought not to trust averages, which is where the misleading "average man died middle-aged" comes from.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
@Till This Day okay and?
@Till This Day no the point was that we ought not to depend on averages to make such judgements. And I quote "is the reason why we don't depend on averages."
Thus rendering the affirmation "everybody who lived past infancy" valid.
@Till This Day
>To claim that ancient people lived as long as we did would be to claim that mankind has not progressed one bit in terms of healthcare
This is a fallacy because these statements aren't even convertible and bear no relationship to each other. It is like claiming that "if ancient people built megalithic structures, then construction equipment has not progressed," an absurdity.
It's idiots like you who believe that progress is a linear graph, where if anything doesn't conform to modern expectations, you can't believe it to be the case.
Also, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, are few of the many examples of folks who have lived well into their 60s, 70s, and 80s.
You never cited any "documents" of yours.
@Till This Day I gave three examples. You gave none.
So all you have left to do is try to change my claim to discredit me.
Reconstruct 15th century London. Show how the castles were decorated and painted. The Cathedrals too.
Thank you so much, brother, for the valuable information. You might like to know that until now there is an important feast called : Sham el Nesim ( the Monday immediately following Easter, although now Egypt a Muslim country). Coming always in Spring, this feast is all about breathing the fresh air of spring and eating green onion, lettuce and the salted fish. Bastet: Egyptian calls a cat by : "Bssss", different from how you would call the cat in North America. Also, that meat was rare. But , regarding medical development, yes, age span was low, but there were evidence in discovered tombs that there was a brain surgery, after which the man lived for some years, also bone fracture splint, after which the bone healed. Also, about bear. Sophia (an Egyptian in US) Of course I will go see the 'Bastet' episode as I am a cat lover. Again, thank you kindly as I am a history maniac....
The true biblical Egyptians and the 12 tribes of Israel were black people. the black people in western, central, south, and east Africa. The west and the world need to stop spreading their propaganda lies. When Yahshua comes back. everyone will see and accept the truth. YOU PEOPLE IN THE WEST, EAST, HAVE TRIED TO COVER UP BLACK HISTORY BUT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DOING IT. You people have lied to the whole world. You take the Torah(holy bible) and whitewash it. you take black history and whitewash it. if you guys could take Egypt out of the continent of Africa, you would. just to cover up your generational lies and deceit. the ancient city of Atlantis is in the continent of africa.i

It was really called KEMET, my friend. Thank you
What was called KEMET?
Bobby Hill Egypt
@William Littles it was called kemet first before Egypt came to be
RUclipsr Named Morgan oh wow cool, I didn’t know that
It was not called kemet that name came up from afrocentrics the Egyptians named themselves Rmtk (the people) ,kemet is a pre dynastic name and early dynastic refrence to the nile (black land) later egypt had claim over the desert (red land/desserts) was symbolised by pharoah red crown
Egypt went by many names like t-mry (beloved land)
Ta-wry(dual land) and mdr (forest)
Agipt(short of het-geb-ptah)(palace creator of God ptah)
Kemet was hardly used to name egypt
You never find a pharoah called nesu/nebi kem-et (king of Lord of black land)
Well done " would love to see one on ancient Britain and Gaul " land of the druids 😽👌
In the European Middle Ages, the average person had ample access to fish, fowl, and sometimes red meat. It is a myth that they never even tasted meat.
