Getting killed by Hippo isn't really that surprising, Hippos are massive with giant teeth, even to this day the amount of people killed by hippos are staggering plus considering that Egyptian civilization was built around a river getting killed by one wouldn't be unheard of.
I understand the problem is that both humans and hippos use water. Normally hippos mind their own business. However if you accidentally go between a mother and her calf things can go horribly wrong and do.
Because they knew better. People get killed by hippos by being in hippo territory. Hippos aren't breaking into homes and just killing. If a human gets killed by a hippo, it's the humans fault.
Getting close enough to it to be killed? They obviously knew the animals were really dangerous but he may have thought that because he was Pharoah, the animal wouldn't harm him or he could tell it what to do. Hence the assumption he was crazy. You're welcome.
Honestly, with how old he was, and how important hippos are in Egyptian myth, it wouldn’t be crazy to think it was a purposeful suicide. If you can’t die in battle or such, death by hippo would be pretty rad.
Menes, or Narmer, may not have actually been killed by a hippo. The hippo was an Egyptian symbol of death. It could be just a poetic way of saying "he croaked."
Thus, you conclude that the metaphysical hippo, rather than the merely physical one, presided over the incident of the Pharaohs death and, gloatingly I imagine, leered over his shoulder as he started his long journey to the realm of Anubis.

This video was a fun one Top Tenz. Some of these made me laugh and chuckle. I found the one where Pharaoh Ramses getting a Passport of be particularly amusing. Nice work.
Always entertaining to watch your videos, I love your sly humor and your ability to insert something absurdly hilarious into a sentence without cracking up or missing a beet...... always a fan
TopTenz - Wow, you do a lot of work to make your videos! Research, actors, graphics, historical pictures, scripts, filming, editing. Your videos are very well done and very interesting! Thank you for all the quality videos!
Working my way through your videos for a cpl of days now. Walking around with headphones and randomly bursting into hysterics. Lots of funny looks from those around me. You're a funny funny guy. Smart and witty. Love it! 😍
I absolutely love all your channels and swear your videos are lays chips because once you have 1, you end spending an hr watching one after another! Now I've heard many, many names mispronounced but the way you said King Tuts name actually hurt my neck by how hard I snapped it back towards the screen to rewind it n hear it again. It gave me a big ole smile, so thank you for that.
On #1, its fair to mention both the Greeks and Romans COULD smelt iron. It is also fair to mention, both knew of the powers of metals smelted from volcano/meteors
Yeah, true, only .... when the Greek and Roman cultures came to the scene, the Egyptian culture were already in to their third millennia. So, basically, Egypt rules - all others: fall to your knees in great AWE! (I know, prior to the iron age, no-one were smelting iron, not even Egypt - Being an egyptologist myself though, you know it's in our oath to defend Egypt at all times - and rightlty so! =) )
Guys. We don't really know how ancient Egyptian is pronounced. We can only make educated guesses based on what we know about modern languages in the region. So his pronounciation is a little different, we know what people he's talking about lol
You guys just keep getting better and better. I love the cadence, sassiness and in your face but harmless adult style history. You really put it out there and I love it. One caveat, been in this world long enough to know that you will definitely encounter someone who is “offended” and will seek money or destruction at your expense. This will happen. Accept it but steel yourselves now. Make sure each thing you do and say is something you’d never consider having to apologize for doing. Then, hold your ground. Take the high road. Add a humor disclaimer in tiny type that says some may find topics handled in a less than delicate manner and that watching equates to adult acceptance of that risk. Then, smile and never apologize. Instead tell the snowflakes to lighten up and have a histoicallygood time. Rock on men.
... Another little-known, yet nonetheless Fun Fact about Ramses II is that he had the equivalent of a back-bumper sticker on his war chariot that read: *ANKH IF YOU WORSHIP OSIRIS* This is little-known because I just pulled it out from my map of Tasmania.
Getting Better at Music No, the actual pronounciation is known exactly. We can read the script and we know the pronounciation from Coptic. Tut-ank-amun. (bonus fact: his birth name was tut-ank-amen, the 'amen' part from his father trying the sun religion thing and that good being Amen-ra. Ascension to the to throne and monotheism being squashed, he changed, or was forced to change, his name.) He's mis-pronouncing things so consistently now that it's got to be deliberate. He knows it gets comments, and comments help ranking and recommendation.
10:47 WOW, Pharaoh Too-Tank-A-Moon??? How do you mispronounce arguably thee most famous pharaohs name??? It's Toot-Un-Ka-Mun. Or King TUT if you don't think you can manage that. Come on guys.... Thats just lazy.
Really? I've just always attributed any name differences to the accent. If that's the case, I don't understand their thinking since this is a Facts channel and that practice seriously calls into question their accuracy.
Chris Flad He even said Akhenaten's name right at first, but then just repeats AkhenETEN (eaten?), and not once did he get HatshepFOOT's name right. Poor Hatshepsut...
Rameses couldn't comprehend English? I think you mean wouldn't understand. He could certainly grasp the language if given the time to learn it. P.s: Stop saying hatsepshut. You are butchering that name.
That first story...I wouldn't want an angry or scared cat thrown at me. That's a pretty harsh punishment. Prepare to get shredded and need stitches when that fluffy ball of thrashing claws slams into you.
@Miranda Rojas, what authors would you suggest for independent esoteric and archeological independent study? I have just begun to delve into the proverbial sea of texts regarding Ancient Egypt. Hence I would be most grateful for your consideration in affording a few references that you would consider credible, based upon your time and dedication in study. Thank you in advance!
The reason for the beards is that pharaoh was an incarnation of the sun rising over water just as the light of the sun precedes it over the water the beard precedes the pharoah over his subjects. Such beards were often false regardless if male or female
Yes she was in olone perant was from the Mediterranean the other Egyptian. You can not rule with out the blood of the kings. Do learn the history of the country.
I was going to say the same thing about Cleopata, her supposed great beauty is nothing more than a myth and probably dates from the Victorian era where lots of myths about things from the past came about. At any rate, historical evidence suggests that Cleopatra was likely rather homely in appearance but was supposed to have been very intelligent.
She wasn’t beautiful by our standards but the men in Egypt were infatuated by her, so who’s to say that that’s not what was attractive in ancient Egypt?
I read a paper on her beauty as it was reported by Cleopatra's contemporaries, and she got mixed reviews. Beauty is, after all, in the eyes of the beholder. However, had she not been pretty to look at, her enemies would've made use of that to insult her, but instead Lucan wrote warnings of her "harmful beauty." Compared to Octavia, several remarked that Octavia was prettier and a more dutiful wife, yet Antony spurned her for Cleopatra. Regardless, Antony didn't fall for her for beauty, writing that he was most taken by her charm and wit. Bonus fact #1: Cleopatra's peers also remarked at her voice, which was apparently a pleasing thing to hear. Let's face it. Girlfriend was a triple threat. Bonus fact #2: She was of Greek heritage, not Egyptian. She wasn't a "Nubian princess" like people seem to think.
Ancient coins, which back then were always made to look as close to the person as possible. A lot of ancient texts describing her and talking about her were found and studied too. She was no "conventional" beauty but they did agree that she was very intelligent, charming, witty, willing to "perform" and had a special aura about her that sucked people in. I was just watching an interesting documentary about her, Cesar and Mark Anthony a couple of days ago.
Nume Moon - She was from a group of ancient Greeks who were really from a Kemitic origin and ancestry. they were most closely, similar to the 'Typhonians'.....and were a Black people. You can see this evident --- in ALL ancient Greek teachings and philosophies (i.e. the 7 Universal Hermetic Laws...WHICH WERE REALLY EGYPTIAN IN ORIGIN....and were all originally the teachings and 'Laws of Thoth' or 'Tehuti' - and i believe, the Kemites had a complete '12 Universal Laws' ---- and this is but 1 of copious examples), all ancient 'Greek deities' and Mythos, were a mere duplication of the ancient Kemitic deities and Mythologies, and finally (one last example, out of a plethora, i could describe to you, where the Greeks usurped and emulated ancient Kemetic culture), is the 'Greek alphabet' as we understand it today, and its language --- all of which are from an Egyptian origin; the alphabet is closely associated to 'Coptic' (which is also, where the English language and ITS alphabet, was primordially formed). The thing was, that there were many mystery schools and priesthoods, and a diversity of ancient Egyptian languages(which formed many later languages, such as even - "Hebrew" and the 'Hebraic alphabet' .....which was designed to look like "flames of a FIRE"). *Note: Although 'Hebrew' is a Greek term, the ACTUAL Hebraic language and its alphabet, was cryptographically formed by a secret renegade Egyptian priesthood, who tried to conceal a lot of ancient Kemetic Knowledge and gnosis.....from foreign invading forces and conquerors. So, ancient Greek society had predominantly, derived from ancient Kemet (which is called 'Egypt' today - but is really a Greek name, "Aegyptos" - for Kemet. 'Cairo' is yet, another Greek name for Kemet's city, and it literally translates to 'Mars'). All of the things you wrote and mentioned --- that i've read --- i just wanted to say, i found interesting and really insightful! Hope i didn't bore you with my verbosity in writing! LoL..... :- )
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Umm actually no. Egypt may be on the same continent as as dark Africans they’re not the same people. Look at historical documents to include genetic testing of the Egyptians of past and present the amount of African DNA is very small. While Africans have a rich culture dating back millennia they never built any large structure or other technologically advanced items. The continent is the birthplace of modern man so you got that going for you at least.
You claimed that all images of Akanotin were removed from Eyqpt, then you go on to show images of him. Logic dictates that you lied. Why do you feel the need to lie to strangers on the internet?
johnnycaralta what makes u say that, not to underlay what u believe but why do u think they had aliens help, u don't think ppl can create Massive monuments
Lamonte Jones Everything in the situation. Also, I like to support trolls and see how it goes. But, there's no way the people, with the technology they had (if our historians are correct), that they built the pyramids by themselves, especially in the time it's said they took.
It *is* too fast - especially when a person wants to absorb all the information compressed into each sentence. My solution is to got to the settings, and set speed at .75 Much better!

Hippos kill more people than lions. They're pretty ill tempered and not very bright..
Because they knew better. People get killed by hippos by being in hippo territory. Hippos aren't breaking into homes and just killing. If a human gets killed by a hippo, it's the humans fault.
I have heard accounts of pharaohs hunting hippos on rafts. Is that true?
How is death by hippo, the single most dangerous animal in Africa a sign of being crazy?
Getting close enough to it to be killed? They obviously knew the animals were really dangerous but he may have thought that because he was Pharoah, the animal wouldn't harm him or he could tell it what to do. Hence the assumption he was crazy. You're welcome.
Greg Dowle the used the river often
This channel sucks. That's why.
Honestly, with how old he was, and how important hippos are in Egyptian myth, it wouldn’t be crazy to think it was a purposeful suicide. If you can’t die in battle or such, death by hippo would be pretty rad.
"Baby gravy" is now entered my vernacular.

Menes, or Narmer, may not have actually been killed by a hippo. The hippo was an Egyptian symbol of death. It could be just a poetic way of saying "he croaked."
Thus, you conclude that the metaphysical hippo, rather than the merely physical one, presided over the incident of the Pharaohs death and, gloatingly I imagine, leered over his shoulder as he started his long journey to the realm of Anubis.

HatshepSut. That second S is part of the name.
Also, Pepi had servants, not slaves. Slaves were rare in pre-Ptolomaic Egypt
Still, you'd think Pepi woulda thought of having a small statue or some object covered in honey rather than a person. Unless it was a fetish thing.
Except that a person is able to move themselves from place to place and can clean themselves afterwards. Therefore, better a person covered in honey than a statue that has to be maintained and moved by others.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Umm actually no. Egypt may be on the same continent as as dark Africans they’re not the same people. Look at historical documents to include genetic testing of the Egyptians of past and present the amount of African DNA is very small. While Africans have a rich culture dating back millennia they never built any large structure or other technologically advanced items. The continent is the birthplace of modern man so you got that going for you at least.

You pronounce everything wrong. But I forgive you for giving me the term Baby Gravy
I loved your commentary of #8.
You claimed that all images of Akanotin were removed from Eyqpt, then you go on to show images of him. Logic dictates that you lied. Why do you feel the need to lie to strangers on the internet?
More of these !!
The lion-headed goddess of war was Sekhmet, not Bastet.
"Baby Gravy", I almost spit out my Ramon noodle soup. Simon, you crack me up. As far as I'm concerned, you are the face of Top Tenz/Today I found Out.
And its Tut-ankh-amun not Tu-tan-ka-mun
Wow Simon you murdered those pharaoh's names.... They are literally turning over in their sarcophagus...
show some respect for other cultures! The stupid hat and beard have a meaning and reason. The hat is called a Durah/durag.
Fontay Montana hahaha no please don't try and say black people were pharaohs truthfully don't steal history
@@jasontodd4461 I don't think what they said is true BUT up until Cleopatra's dynasty (ptolemaic dynasty) Egyptians WERE black
"whacking it" is a proper scientific term! hahaha hahaha I haven't laughed that hard in awhile!

Starting to show your intelligence. What could your job applications possibly look like?
I didn't know i needed to hear him say "polish their bone and shoot some baby gravy" hahaha
Aliens built the pyramids
My Melanin People Are Not Aliens
Lamonte Jones People didn't build the pyramids without alien assistance.
johnnycaralta what makes u say that, not to underlay what u believe but why do u think they had aliens help, u don't think ppl can create Massive monuments
johnnycaralta Ugh. They were made by ppl. It isn't hard to look it up. No aliens outside of fascist disinformation projects im afraid.
Lamonte Jones Everything in the situation. Also, I like to support trolls and see how it goes. But, there's no way the people, with the technology they had (if our historians are correct), that they built the pyramids by themselves, especially in the time it's said they took.
Classy, Simon. Classy.
Too fast in narrating. Remember kids and old people including non Americans also watch your videos. Be slow. Use simple words.
Um, no. He could try using correct pronunciation, though.
It *is* too fast - especially when a person wants to absorb all the information compressed into each sentence. My solution is to got to the settings, and set speed at .75 Much better!
Hay that human fly paper idea really works!
