    Notes/Typos
    The dates for Tuthmosis reign should be 1504 BC-1450 BC instead of 1504 BC-1550 BC (He was not a time traveler :)
    Cannan should be spelled as Caanan on the map.
    Perisan should be spelled as Persian in the caption near the end of the video.
    Reading mistake: I say "mediggo" but it is Megiddo as I wrote on the map caption.

      - The fall of ancient EMPIRES comes from this, hades discovery within gradually, things get boring and people cry within for sweet home peace that they once knew, and all superficial power seems pointless. I know a secret from old Egypt, Kether-Safiroth-KA (Yiny-Yang-Tao) how humans and spirits alike unravel their true inner peace in renewed frontiers, and make the EMPIRES rise again, and again, you need to know how and what could be the problems among the inhabitants to recover and relive for the better - You could say the human race would have to die out!

I mean when they were constructing the pyramids they were still mammoths in some parts of the world, MAMMOTHS! Do you realize how incredible that is.

      Cleopatra was not Egyptian. Cleopatra was a Ptolemy ruler of Egypt which were Greek Pharaohs stemming from following Alexander the Great had conquered Persia - acquiring Egypt in the process since Egypt was a Persian colony at the period.
      Alexander classified himself as Pharaoh, which later on birthed a dynasty of Greek Pharaohs such as Cleopatra. Thus, Cleopatra was not a real Egyptian.

      They weren't Egyptian. However, they were a part of the same culture: Nile Valley Culture. It would be no different than the Romans conquering the Greeks. The Romans and Greeks were basically a part of the same culture, and the Greeks later became Romans, i.e. Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire).

      Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that was ended in 525 BC. However, there was a brief moment where the natives reconquered their lands from the Persians during a revolt which was led by Amyrtaeus in 404 BC which he later became Pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty, the only Pharoah of the 28th Dynasty. Nevertheless, Egypt was reconquered by Persians in 343 BC.
      That was the end of African rule in Ancient Egypt in which Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs later ruled. Following 343 BC, Africans would *NEVER* rule Egypt again. The last Pharaoh, Pharaoh Nectanebo II was exiled to Nubia.
      The Arabs colonised the whole of North Africa in the 7th century known as the Arabic conquest of Northern-Africa. However, prior to the Arabs, there were Greek, Roman and Vandal settlements in Northern-Africa.
      Africans have not ruled Ancient Egypt for *2,362* years. Do you know what has happened since then?
      Greco-Roman rule has been since 332 BC until 642 AD ( *974* years).
      Islamic rule -Arab and Ottomans have been ruling Egypt since 642 AD ( *1,337* years and still continuing).

      You clearly know nothing regarding Egypt or Africa for that matter. For one, Nubian civilisation is older than Egyptian. Ta-Seti and Nabta Playa are far older than the entirety of Egyptian civilisation. The first Egyptian Pharaoh, Narmer derived from the region what is referred to as 'Nubia'.
      As I mentioned, modern Egyptians are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians and people who state such nonsense are either ignorant or flat out racist. How can the same people lecture us that the modern Egyptians are the same as the Ancient Egyptians while Egypt was ruled by foreign powers for over 2,300 years but somehow tell us that the Turks who conquered Constantinople in 1453 are not Greek but Turkic whom merely conquered Constanipole 566 years ago?
      Moreover, the same imbeciles who state such nonsense believe in conspiracies such as "The Great Replacement". Somehow Muslims who merely migrated into Europe 60 years ago is somehow going to replace the native European population in a few decades? Nevertheless, but the Egyptians who were ruled by Arabs and Turks for over 1,337 years were not replaced.
      As for the Copts, you clearly do not know what you are on about. Copts derive from Greco-Romans that conquered Egypt following Alexander. Prior to 332 BC, there was no such thing as a Copt. The Coptic language derives from Greek and is an admixture of the Ancient Egyptian (native) language Demotic. Moreover, 'Coptic' is a religious classification. Not an ethnic classification.
      The Coptic Church was founded during the period of Roman rule, in which a citizen of Libya, Cyrene, a Roman colony, named Saint Mark founded the Coptic Church in Alexandria. In 49 AD, there was no such thing as religious Copts prior to the arrival of Saint Mark. Nor was there even a Coptic language before 332 BC.

      It depends what you mean by 'Western civilization'.
      The Minoans of Crete are considered to be the 'first' European civilization, who were quite advanced and were contemporary with Ancient Egypt and maintained a friendly trade relationship with them.
      But if you mean the 'modern' West of the last 500 years or so, then its rapid rise to global dominance, and advancing from sailing ships to Moon landings in that time could be seen as perhaps more noteworthy than a civilization that stayed much the same for centuries at a time, with even its art barely changing from stiff and formal, and with its best known achievements (the pyramids) occurring at the beginning.
      And of course, 'the West' could also include the Greeks (Macedonians) and the Romans who ended up conquering and ruling Egypt for about 900 years, which is a very big chunk of ancient history.

    Sorry if you don't care but your drawing of the Nile river is a modern one. Where Aswan is today your drawing shows the Nile break its streamline and become jagged and uneven (about halfway up the river), then return to its softer river shape. This is because in the 1960's a dam was built there flooding that area disturbing the once more natural shape of the river. Figured it'd be an interesting fact to anyone who reads this.

      My primary teacher explained it like this: rivers are born in the mountains and flow down to the sea, so the north of Egypt is indeed Lower than the south. The same logic applies to many European regions where even inverting the map doesn't help, since most rivers don't flow as neatly from south to north as the Nile.

      Not only for that reason. The North on top convention is rather recent and quite Eurocentric. A good reason to have South on top (from a Northern Hemisphere viewpoint) is that the Sun is always to the South, at least if you're north of the tropic. Another convention, quite popular in the Middle Ages was with the East up.

      1,[ Ηροδοτου Ιστοριαι]Δεν είμαι σε θέση να δηλώσω με βεβαιότητα ποια γλώσσα μίλουσαν οι Πελασγοί, αλλά θα μπορούσαμε να λάβουμε υπόψη την ομιλία των Πελασγίων που εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν σε οικισμούς πάνω από την Τυρρηνία στην πόλη Κρεστον, πρώην γείτονες των Δωριέων που εκείνη τη στιγμή ζουσαν στη γη που ονομάζεται Θεσσαλλια. Επίσης οι Πελασγοί που κάποτε ζούσαν με τους Αθηναίους και στη συνέχεια εγκατασταθηκαν στην Πλάκα και την Σκύλακε στο Ελλήσποντο. Και μαζί με αυτούς,αλλοι που έζησαν με τις άλλες κοινότητες και κάποτε ήταν Πελασγοί αλλά άλλαξαν τα ονόματά τους. Αν μπορούμε να κρίνουμε με αυτά τα στοιχεία, οι Πελασγοί μιλούσαν μια βάρβαρη γλώσσα. Επομένως, αν η γλώσσα των Πελασγίων μιλιωταν σε όλα αυτά τα μέρη, οι άνθρωποι της Αττικής, αρχικά Πελασγοι, πρέπει να εμαθαν μια νέα γλώσσα όταν εξελληνιστικαν. Στην πραγματικότητα, ο λαός της Κρεστονίας και της Πλάκας δεν μιλα πλέον την ίδια γλώσσα, πράγμα που δείχνει ότι συνεχίζουν να χρησιμοποιούν τη διάλεκτο που έφεραν μαζί τους οι προγονοι τους όταν μετανάστευσαν στα εδαφη τους.
      2, Όσο για τους Έλληνες, μου φαίνεται προφανές ότι από τότε που ηρθαν στον τοπο αυτο(ενν.την Ελλαδα), χρησιμοποίουσαν πάντα την ίδια γλώσσα. Ήταν αρχικά αδύναμοι, [...] αλλά μεγάλωσαν από μια μικρή ομάδα σε ένα πλήθος, ειδικά όταν πολλοί λαοί, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και πολλών βαρβάρων σε μεγάλους αριθμούς, τους είχαν προσχωρήσει. Επιπλέον, δεν νομίζω ότι οι Πελασγοι, οι οποίοι παρέμειναν βάρβαροι, αυξήθηκαν σημαντικά σε αριθμό ή εξουσία.[Ηροδοτου,Ιστοριαι]
      3, Πριν από την εποχή του Έλληνα, γιου του Δευκαλιωνα ... η χώρα ειχε τα ονόματα των διαφορετικών φυλών, ιδιαίτερα των Πελασγίων. Δεν ήταν μέχρι που ο Έλλην και οι γιοι του έγιναν ισχυροί στην Φθιώτη και προσκλήθηκαν ως σύμμαχοι στις άλλες πόλεις, που απέκτησαν σταδιακά από τη σύνδεση το όνομα των Ελλήνων. Αν και περάσε πολύς καιρός πριν αυτό το όνομα μπορέσει να προσκολληθεί σε όλους.[...] .. μικτές βαρβαρικές φυλές που μιλάνε τις δύο γλώσσες. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα μικρό χαλκιδικό στοιχείο. αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός είναι οι Τυρρηνοί-Πελασγοί που κάποτε εγκαταστάθηκαν στη Λήμνο και την Αθήνα, και οι Βισαλίτες, οι Κρεστονικοί και οι Έωνες. Ολες αυτες οι πόλεις είναι μικρές.
      [Θουκιδιδης. Ιστορια του Πελλοπονησιακου πολεμου]
      4, Στην περιγραφή της Ελλάδος, ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει τους Αρκάδες που δηλώνουν ότι ο Πελασγός (μαζί με τον λαο του) ήταν ο πρώτος κάτοικος της γης τους . Όταν έγινε βασιλιάς, ο Πελασγός ήταν υπεύθυνος για την επινόηση καλύβων, παλτών από δερας πρόβατων και μιας διατροφής που ειχε βαση τα βελανίδια. Επιπλέον, η γη που κυβέρνησε ονομάστηκε "Πελασγία". Όταν ο Αρκάς έγινε βασιλιάς, η Πελασγία μετονομάστηκε σε «Αρκαδία» και οι κάτοικοί της (οι Πελασγοί) εξελληνιστικαν και εγιναν οι «Αρκάδες» . Ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει επίσης τους Πελασγούς ως υπεύθυνους για τη δημιουργία μιας ξύλινης εικόνας του Ορφέα σε ένα ιερό της Δήμητρας στη Θήρα καθώς επίσης και για την απομάκρυνση των Μινυών και των Λακεδαιμονίων από τη Λήμνο.

      Some (but surely not most) of the Sea Peoples were surely Semites. Israel is mentioned for the first time in the SP wave led by the Hitites. Another likely Semitic SP were the Shekelesh, who are documented as circumcised (the Egyptians would cut your hands as war trophy if you followed their own custom of circumcision but your genitals if not, and other than Egyptians and some Black Africans only the Semites did so) and also have a name that may mean "mercenary" (shekel = Canaanite "pound", first weight later coin). These people surely ended in Sicily, not just because of the name resemblance but also because Sicilians are in terms genetic anomalously tending to the Levant (and there's no other good explanation).
      But otherwise most Sea Peoples were northerners from the Aegean or westerners from NW Africa (Libu, Meswesh) and Sardinia (Sherden), maybe even mainland Italy in the case of the unidentified Weshesh (sounds to me like Ausones, an aboriginal nation of southern Italy).

      @yah' qub - What? We don't know for sure who exactly the Hyksos were. If anything it's you who's talking "pseudo-history" by assimilating them to Hittites (Nesites), who were not yet in the regional geopolitcal scene even.
      Almost uniformly historians agree that the Hycsos were Semitic warlords of some sort. Many theories have suggested proto-Hebrews and maybe there's something to it, but they were mostly worshipers of Seth, the Egyptian god of Chaos and War, so if anything something way too "proto" to be identified as such.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz 5 лет назад

      @yah' qub - Just to set the record straight: the Hyksos are from the Second Intermediate Period, at the beginning of the Bronze Age, while the Sea Peoples are from before the Third Intermediate Period, at the very end of the Bronze Age. A thousand years separate both groups!
      And yes Israel (or something very similar that is almost universally accepted as that) is mentioned in the "Nine Bows Coalition" or Hittite-led early "Sea Peoples" invasion. But these are not exactly the groups we know as Sea Peoples decades later, led probably by the Mycenaean Greeks (Deneen = Danaoi) on rampage after destroying Troy, although some groups do overlap in both waves (not Israel though, only mention). Look up "Israel stele" if you don't believe what I say.

      @yah' qub First of all: LOL, you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.
      Second and more to the point: the Hebrews are and were Canaanites, just a destructive cult at the semi-desertic margin at first (or something like that), the Canaanites were Semitic, all the Levant was Semitic since at least 4000 BCE and the Semitic-speaking Phoenicians considered themselves to be Canaanites (Phoenician is a Greek exonym). Hebrew is just one branch or dialect of the Canaanite language. El is how the Canaanites said "God" and Elohim is how the Canaanites said "the gods" (Allah is also derived from that root but Arabic is a slightly distinct branch of Northern Semitic, Southern Semitic is now only spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia but was in the past extended by Yemen and much of Arabia). After the conquest of Sumeria, all the Middle East south of Turkey and Kurdistan and West of Iran was Semitic.
      "Hamite" was used in linguistics to refer to what we now know as the main non-Semitic branches of Afroasiatic. It is an obsolete term (of Biblical origin indeed): today the linguistic consensus is that the family is Afroasiatic and also includes Semitic, and not only Berber, Coptic and Cushitic (Somali, Oromo, etc.)
      Back to the Hyksos, I'm glad you seem to concede that they were not Hittites and were from Canaan or otherwise the Levant. We're making improvements. Now you just need to accept that the Canaanites were Semitic, something we know for a fact, partly because of their Hebrew branch and partly because of their other historical branch: the Phoencians (self-named Canaanites).

      @Bblurre no, that's not true. Black people like us in America today came from west Africa not North East Africa. Groups like the Ethiopians, Lybians, & those from Sudan are closest peoples we have to the ancient Egyptians would have been. & even then their still not accurate...

      Ethiopians and Sudanese are nothing like the ancient Egyptians.
      Whether Blacks of west Africa or mutts of East Africa, none of them are even remotely similar to the ancient Egyptians.
      Only modern Egyptians are the closest to the ancient Egyptians, especially modern Egyptians in rural areas who are pure literal descendants of the ancient Egyptians, and guess what ? They look nothing like Ethiopians or Sudanese.

      How are people lying by saying they don't really know who the Sea people were or where they came from? Do you know where they came from? Perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us with your evidence.

    In ancient Egypt the worst curse you could ever visit upon someone was to erase a person's name, image and to never say their name again, similar to the Roman practice of a damnatio memoriae. To them, a name had power, a name told a person's story, and a name kept a person's memory alive, so whenever you say someone's name they're remembered, they live on in their afterlife. To never say their name again basically meant to deny them an afterlife and, so far as I know, they only did that to Hatshepsut and Akhenaton.
