Dinosaurs have been found in Egypt too.
why does nobody mention it? am I the only one? the image on the narmer palette is a constellation, "osiris", orion, but fairly extended! all of it is there, the "enemy" and even the "ba". the whole image is there, just look up, it's right now in the sky over europe. it's large, the club is in gemini and the "enemy" in hare and eridanus, "ba" in taurus.
Marvellous work
transported me there : )
What i believe happened is something that i saw on another youtube video of a stone calendar in the Sahara and there was what looks like a giant carved mushroom head that had been cracked but the smoothness of the carving and its reason for being so far out in the middle of the desert means it had to have been carved when the Sahara was lush. Then the rains stop so people head east on mass towards the Nile, this is shown by the kilns of upper and lower Egypt and how more complex a society upper Egypt was in the wares it produced, lower Egypt i am guessing is the really ancient city and upper Egypt was created when the refugees of the Sahara accumulated there. Kind of like how the US and Australian countries are more modern looking than the European countries the people came from. I believe the stone carving came from these people who came in from the Sahara, they already displayed for centuries before they where united that they where advanced technologically and there is no explanation as to whom carved the giant mushroom head in the middle of nowhere but it was upper Egypt that began carving stone first.
@Fjord Vilkensen supposedly the pyramids where covered in white limestone and where full of carvings, Egyptian hieroglyphs. There was a huge earthquake around the 1100s i think that loosened some of the limestone that allowed them to be prised open until then they had been sealed for thousands of years, the limestone was stripped from the outer pyramids and is what Egypt has been built out of. So yes the pyramids could be much older but there was a serious building project around 2500bc, but the Sphinx has to be much older because of the weathering, there are temples that are right in front of the Sphinx that where supposedly built at the same time the Sphinx was carved yet they have no weathering. If you look at the Sphinx and then look at this statue of the Sphinx that has been down a well for god knows how long you see how long the arms are on the Sphinx in the well statue then look at the proportion the the Sphinx in Egypt today. Egypt has not had the rainfall the weather the Sphinx in 2000 years so it cant be a replica of the original Sphinx from that time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-45546415
at the time of the Roman republic, pyramids were more ancient to the Romans than the Romans to us now...
Alexandros Var Yes these people invaded Rome and Europe. The entire world 🌎
@@rhondaclark716 What people?
@@rhondaclark716 no the Egyptians did not invade the entire world the first Invaders to the Egyptians were the Persians led by king Cyrus at the time.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick even Alexander the Great was shocked
@@rocdaneweracap First the Nubians then the Assyrians and then Persians, Greeks and Romans. Followed by Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, French and finally the English.
Being an Egyptian I am proud of its history
Worth noting that the Scorpion king and/or Narmer is probably the first historical figure whose existence is supported by the archaeological record as a real, living person.
There are more than a few protodynastic Egyptian rulers that could be said about, also
Kushim from Sumer. All from roughly the same period, no one knows for sure.
You can trust the writings on the wall, if they say a name, for sure the person existed.
Kushim of Uruk was the first personality or the first name written in history (at least what we know until now), he reigned some time from 3400-3100BC, others includes the names of a slave owner (Gal-Sal) and their two slaves (En-pap X and Sukkalgir).
@@hassanbassim4007I’m pretty sure Kushim wasn’t a king? Wasn’t he just a trader? His name only survives because it was on a clay tablet recording an exchange…right?
The timescale over which ancient egypt existed boggles the mind. And puts later achievements into perspective.
Wonderful work. Love your narrative.
Jup its great, very well told. As do you.
Thumbs up on the soundtrack, low enough not to overpower.
Can you smell what the Scorpion King is Cooking?
hahahahaha! that was good.
Sorry for being 2 years late, you Jaberoni's...
Hahahaha i died
What do you think about the historicity of the Sc- IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK...
Yes and it smells like Egypt
It's hard to rule out Sumerian influence when the Step Pyramid looks just like a ziggurat and is even made from mud bricks
It’s made of stone, not mud bricks, ffs. The step pyramid is known as man’s first monumental “stone” building .
Narmer or the scorpion king was a brave and a sharp minded soldier. Fought well and a clay tablet found at Avaris proves his existence
So according to the dates all those pyramids were built not only in under 500 years, most of them were overlapping and yet we dont know why or how they were built, the Egyptians left no clues to either question. More likely they were being rebuilt after the Egyptians moved to the area after some kind of cataclysm say like mass flooding from the end of the ice age bc this was known as the most populous or prosperous or technologically advanced area of the time.
So, Scorpion King is a real historic figure..thought the character was "The Mummy's" director fig of his imagination. Nice music! 😂🤣😄😆
The scorpion king in the movie was an Akkadian, the one irl was a early Egyptian
@Steven Salcedo a man cant rule for 200 years
@Steven Salcedo but who cares. It's already been settled he was real. Idc its not interesting.
@@MiloTheCrotonian there are theories that he was Mesopotamian but like with most theories we don't know from where exactly he came from.
Thank you for this amazing historical Noliege
Seriously good productions
Always had a fond interest in Egypt and middle Eastern history, dinosaurs, stone ages, and pirates more than the other history especially Asian, modern, European and African.
Same here. I can't get enough of ancient history. All of it!!
Egyptian is african
@Mister BK well it really is just Egyptians history. Egyptians has a whole lot of middle eastern and Nubian influence. (And many other Mediterranean influences to it) They did start from Africans and it slowly turned to the rest of Mediterranean and Near East.
@@MiloTheCrotonian Because of Invasion, Egypt is still part of Africa
@@wiseguy240Winston yes I just said that lmao.
The Nile has shifted over time, that's why these constructions seem to be in the middle of nowhere
AuricMonkey would you build a big pyramid on muddy ground next to an annually flooding river!
@@h3egypt lol
Sid Masey Good point. Recent research similarly suggests that the land where the pyramids and temples in the Western Bank were erected may have been green Savannah in antiquity.
@mxt mxt the Nile couldn't have shifted , not according to Danny Wilten it didn't .
Ever since watching History Channel's "Building an Empire: Egypt" my admiration for the ancient and prestigious Egypt just grew and grew!!
Just discovered your channel. You sound a bit like Ewan McGregor in your narration mate. Great video.
Well done mate liking your vids a lot :).

Thanks very much! Loads more content on the way :) and soon!
Seen your post from the new Northumbria trailer for Thrones of Britannia and was like well ill give it a try im a history buff. New sub here my friend awesome content!!!
Excellent work
thank you, i had been to Egypt as a kid in 2000, and i have been reading up on Dune lore in anticipation of the Dune movie coming out in 2020.. Allegedly the God Emperor Leto II was "descended from a monarch, possibly an Egyptian or a Mesopotamian who ruled his people harshly but wisely and facilitated their survival for roughly 3,000 years.. His people would ebb and flow with the patterns of their natural environment, among other things.." Harum is his name in the book, but I Think it is rather obvious, the Scorpion King would be an Obvious choice. Even if the Scorpion King (like Ragnar Lothbrok) is more a composite of several people, combined with some myth, the First individual the "composite" that is the "Scorpion King" would be the individual specified in Dune and known as "Harum" in the book.
The Egyptians suffered from drought more than once themselves and it led to the downfall of one more than one Kingdom in their history especially the Old Kingdom.

Has anyone else noticed the correlation between incomprehensible grammar and inane rambling about how established history is all a lie? You never see anyone write coherently while asserting that a history video on RUclips is completely wrong.
A history video on youtube is all wrong.

Incredible
Egyptian culture is totally different than Mesopotamia
Interesting video
Some of the Pyramids are miss-identified. That was Khafre's, not Sneferu's Red Pyramid.
Khafre never built a pyramid
@@gottaproxy8826 The 2nd Pyramid at Giza is generally ascribed by Egyptologists to Khafre, son of Khufu. The Red Pyramid at Dashur is usually ascribed to Sneferu, Khafre's grandfather. Whether that's all actually true or not...shrug.
7:06 this is not the Sneferuh's red pyramid, this the pyramid of Kaphre! same as 7:32
5:37 - This is a cuneiform (c.2600 BCE), not hieroglyphic, script
sumerian cuneiform in 5:37
yep
You're right on this one
Very good video and helpful in a lot of ways but the Sphinx date is wrong, man!
What blows my mind about ancient Egypt is how ancient the damn thing is. It goes so far back its hard to comprehend, makes no sense compared to a human lifespan. They had kings and a state probably as far back as 5500 years ago, here in Scandinavia there was nothing but cavemen and hunter gatherers at that time
Finaly the scorpion king had come back to egypt.
I am a direct descendant of the Scorpion King so was Alexander. All men with y chromosome Ev13 left Egypt about 10 thousand years ago for the North according to Human genome project.
Interesting. Heard very little of scorpion King and not much anything to go on but good. Some ok little more info here. Thanks.
King Scorpion II and King Ka were still part of Dynasty 0
Is the narrator from Liverpool? Sounds like ringo star and I like it
The founder father of Egypt was Misraim, son of Japheth ,son ofNoah. Egyptians today are still known as Misraim. The Bank ofEgypt is still called Bank of Misraim.
OMG! Ancient Egyptian Scorpion King was Real?! Wondering what Other Superheroes in Cinematic Universe were Actually Existed! Thank You So Much for the illumination! 🕯
Djedefre's pyramid was NOT the largest; it was actually probably moderately sized (65m tall) but was highest in overall elevation because it was built at a higher elevation than Giza. (source: wiki)
Further more it was used as a quarry from the roman rule till the 19th century, as they thought that the pyramid was not finished
i can see why less devolved people when they saw Egypt thought it was built by gods or magic. The level of engineering and craftsmanship would have blown their minds
It still blows our mind because we cant build something like that to this day.
Vanilla Sky We know how too but we don’t have the means. The pharaohs were working with unlimited money and manpower.
@@chiefjudgefish4193 wrong..we dont know how to ....
Error at 7:10. The pyramid shown is NOT the Red Pyramid but Kefren's at Giza
how do you explain the water erosion on the limestone used at the sphinx? experts say its undoubtedly caused by rain, and must be atleast 9-13 thousand years old, possibly older.
The legendary scorpion king has an unfortunate tie-in to the Divine Comedy. It means the devil! Described in the bible as a dragon. The Oxford history of ancient Egypt states there is a mace head of king Scorpion. This means Ka is the scorpion king and Ivi-hor is his father.
I often wonder how much the Pyramid building contributed to the forming of deserts in and around Egypt. Yes, I know it was going to happen anyway based on the weather patterns but I still wonder if Pyramids speed up the process....
likely little to no effect, more likely massive over farming greatly contributed to soil erosion though
Thank you
All is older
The first ive ever heard of Narmer and the scorpion king being one in the same
early Egyptian history is very vague and fragmentary which makes it mostly guess work. Dating, who's who and where it all started is very questionable and should be treated as such. There are far too many people with agendas that muddy the waters of history and as such this history like others need to be taken with a healthy skepticism.......
I agree. That's why I never accept Eurocentristic and Afrocentristic views. Cuz they both are very extreme
@@MiloTheCrotonian If you're already trying to evaluate history through those two lenses, you've already biased yourself. Remove the narratives. DNA from mummies tells us a lot more than agenda-driven "historians" who write what their grant sources want them to write.
@@kma3647 well I'm not evaluating history thru those 2 lenses. Theyre both extreme.
Wtf are you talking about? Egypt’s history is the best documented of ancient world. No other ancient civilization left as much written history as Egyptians.
@@boratokel9301 Laughs in Greco-Roman
How have you not more subscribers?
Settlerking Feel free to share the channel :D
took me a few channel recommendations to get here.
Because youtube is stupid
there may be a mistake - the picture in the video of the Red Pyramid is the same as the picture of Khafre - the pic of Khafre is correct. The Red Pyramid is almost as big as Kufu and in general looks like it as well with no outer casting existing - how do I know, I’ve been in all three.
did not watched and allready liked.., top
(3:48) Mesopotamia did not have agriculture thousands of years before Egypt. It was only about 100 years.
If ancient Egyptians did not have agriculture before Mesopotamia, what do you think they did when the Nile river flooded yearly. They did eat right? . Remember Africa is the first home of humans.
@@enslavedbyfaith1497 Humans were hunter/gatherers before agriculture. When floods occurred they simply moved on. Usually they wouldn't have even been there during a flood season as they would have followed the animals they hunted to areas that were safe at that time.
Enslaved Byfaith nope it is not, wake up sheep WWG1WGA.
Egypt knew agriculture way before mesopotamia
@@ahmadradwan5914 they didn't
but seriously Ringo is doing a great job on narration tho
Those pictures with the chairiots are much after then the period your talking about
The Hyksos are the ones who brought it and composite bows to Egypt
Did the ancient Egyptians use cuneiform before?
(in 5:37 image cuneiform
?)
Interesting
Only last year did I find out the scorpion king was actually a thing and not just a random character involving the rock.... And my old fav mummy movie.... And the scorpion king movie....
Yep...
What about KIng HYKOS,that ruler in ancient egypt,,who is him ???
The Sphinx shows erosion far older than 5000 yrs, contemporary scientist attribute it to Khafra, but it's believed to be wrong, the explorer was lazy and just wanted to give it some credence, according to Ancient Aliens, this is far older and possibly has a twin
what? hahahha, please, its not a place to tell fairy tales "aliens" gahahaha, and no, the sphinx erosion was NEVER proven to be older than 5000 years old,
we base on REAL PROVEN FACTS, not some theoritical crap taken out of context - there was no civilization there in egypt, and sphinxes are a part of egyptian culture,
so please learn to connect the dots
Its Ringo from the Beatles on commentary lol
😂🤣😄👍
12180 years ago i was Achilles they was fighting hu my Pima grandchildren rock
The birth of Egypt was in Nubia, starting with the worship of Ma'at-Hathor, the black mother and Creator, not some little scorpion king
Black people really like to made up bullsht and claim other history because of their inferiority complex in their own history (sub saharan history)
Where do you get the built dates of the pyramid?
history, wikipedia etc.
Yeah kind of reminds me of rock the Dwayne Johnson who played the role of pharoah scorpion King in the movie scorpion King. And in one part it is shown that scorpion King is captured by the Indo-European s of the steppes in Afghanistan or Central Asia where he is taken captive and the indo European out of arrogance and ego says that we have killed everyone but I have never killed an Akkadian which means that Akkad is in Mesopotamia.
I was waiting for someone to mention that Scorpion King :)
One of my favorite movie ever! Glad to see someone mentioning it. :)
do not confuse Hollywood with history...
Except for The Mummy Returns. That's 100% historically accurate.
christosvoskresye More than Braveheart ?
WE WAZ KANGZ N SHIET!!!!!
I thought water erosion marks on the Sphinx made it much older then 2500bc??
Yeah, i saw a video a long time ago where a geologist basically proved it was much older than claimed.
Was a really good video except for the bs dates for the great pyramid and the sphinx
Not much said about Scorpion so how about showing his tomb at least?
Mesopotamia had and has plenty of water, your comment seems misplaced
The ancient Mesopotamians only existed because they had plenty of reliable water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They had seasonal flooding just like the Nile river. Ancient Mesopotamians were also irrigating water to farm field's as far back as 8000bc!!
you need to add about 10,000 years onto the dates of the pyramids and the sphinx
yup, geology at the site proves it.
Absolute nonsense
Cringy stupidity

Some of the most often quoted historians from the time of the ancient Egyptians about what race the people were are Strabo, (born c. 64 bce, Amaseia, Pontus-died after 21 ce), Greek geographer and historian, Diodorus Siculus Diodorus Siculus (fl. 1st century BC) or Diodorus of Sicily a Greek historian, and Herodotus (born in Halicarnassus in the Persian Empire (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) and lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484-c. 425 BC), "The Father of History"). In his Histories, Herodotus states in several passages that the Egyptians were black. According to most translations, Herodotus says that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was "black", that the natives of the Nile region are "black with heat", and that Egyptians were "black-skinned with woolly hair". Lucian of Samosata (125 AD - after 180 AD) observes an Egyptian boy and notices that he is not merely black, but has thick lips. Diodorus Siculus mentioned that the Aethiopians (read sub-Saharan Africa) considered the Egyptians a colony. Apollodorus of Damascus (a Syrian-Greek engineer, architect, designer and sculptor from Damascus, Roman Syria, who flourished during the 2nd century AD), calls Egypt the country of the black-footed ones (or “Aethiopians”). Aeschylus (c. 525/524 - c. 456/455 BC), a Greek poet, wrote that Egyptian seamen had "black limbs." Greeks sometimes referred to Egyptians as Aethiopians - not to be confused with inhabitants of the modern-day nation of Ethiopia who was instead referred to as Abyssinians or Habesha and their land as Abyssinia. Sir Gaston Camille Charles Maspero KCMG was a French Egyptologist (June 23, 1846 - June 30, 1916) states that "by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia".
I still think the Egyptians were from African stock coming from the Sahara area.
Too good a story not to enjoy.
ian caldeian Yes but, black means dark to some people. Like the English for example.
@@porkchopspapi5757 some white dude that spent a month in Tahiti might be called black with race tensions as high as they are in America atm
Most Ancient Egyptians were not “black” or from sub-Saharan Africa. We know this because we have literally hundreds of actual mummified Egyptian remains. 83 of which we’ve done DNA tests on.
@@sobermarriedfamilyman then what's the conclusion?
There were no Mesopotamians in KEMET.STOP LYING
Cope
Yeah i never heard of that either
Sahara before fertile?
During its wet phase.
If Sahara desert was once green, highly likely entire North Africa was green as well. So what happened? When? And why?
Sahara was more savanna rather being totally green but you should look up milankovitch cycles that tries to explain the chances in weather like during last ice age maximum 20-25 thousand years ago. The Sahara desert was bigger then today but approx :12-6 thousand years ago it was more humid and smaller. Now it is on dry cycle.
Egypt knew agriculture way before mesopotamia ..
In the movie El Mariachi, the protagonist wears the scorpion symbol. It was taken directly from the hieroglyph. It was also featured in The Mummy (Mum-Ra), and The Scorpion King. In the second installment of the El Mariachi series, the bartend gives us his name. That name being El, of which is explained that name means "The". Interestingly, El is also the word meaning God in Hebrew.

Why every historic video about Egypt starts in 3100 bc with Narmer? Egypt existed 7000 years before Narmer, why is no channel talking about that?
