  • Historian, Joann Fletcher explores the hitherto downplayed role that women took in the running of state and, indeed, in shaping every aspect of life in Ancient Egypt. Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of ‘Pharaoh’ no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses. Focusing on women of royalty such as Pharaoh Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertari, as well as women of high profession such as Lady Peseshet, the earliest female doctor known to the world, Fletcher reveals an ancient civilization unparalleled in its sexual equality.

      Due to the many wars and plague that the West brought with them.

      You have to keep in mind that we know about Cleopatra for one reason and one reason only because of Hollywood’s portrayal of her by way of Elizabeth Taylor, a role that originally was to star Dorothy Dandridge but was later recast with Elizabeth because the movie studios felt she was a bigger box office draw and moreover it was done to depict queens and pharaohs as white. So for many years unless you went out of your way to do your due diligence then this was the narrative you were left with.

      @lashelle capos yes, sadly it is true the history is molded by the people who have the influence, just look at Jesus Christ they said he was white, I wonder how a child born in the middle East with parents of darker complexion was declared as white.

      lashelle capos I never said that they were Caucasian, but it’s an undisputed fact that people from Northern Africa and Sinai are just ”whiter“ than Central Africans. They weren’t mixed with white people, but they are just more pail. And I agree with you that it’s wrong to say that historical people from the Middle East or Africa were black or white. You need more inform to say, which race a person belonged to. In the case of Egypt we have this information and it does that true genetics of mummies which in my opinion is indisputable.

She fully engages her audience with fine, explicit, and fascinating details about the female Egyptian pharaoh's. An exquisite look into Egypt's ancient past. Egypt, a sophisticated culture, revering the importance of women, as pharoah's and in the roles of goddess, queen, leader and family.

I find Nefertari particularly interesting as it seemed she was the perfect consort for Ramses II. Beautiful, intelligent, well read, my goodness. Her tomb is so breathtaking. I'm not surprised they guard that tomb so well. Arsione is just as fascinating: niece of Alexander the Great, born in Egypt with Greek blood, sent to Greece for a political marriage, her first husband dying, the second marriage a disaster, married her OWN BROTHER in order to be Queen consort, introduced a form of capitalism to Egypt: wow. Ms. Fletcher is a delight to listen to because she has such passion for her work and these four "pharaohs". Thanks for uploading this documentary. It was fun to watch!

      I've never been a fan of the theory that Hatsepsut usurped Thutmose iii's throne. Throughout history we've had countless examples rulers who usurped the rightful ruler. In all other cases I know of, the usurped ruler was killed because they were a threat to the usurper. What usupers don't do is ensure that the rightful ruler has the best education available, nor do they make the rightful ruler the head of their military. An alternative theory suggests that Hatepsut became Pharaoh to guard the throne from others who wanted to take advantage of Thutmose iii's young age a few years after Thutmose ii died.

      You'd be right to say that it can't be ignored as societal norms shape your identity.
      But no need to beat a dead horse.
      You don't want to end up setting a different standard based on group identity, because that's what happens when people overemphasise it.
      Ultimately you end up sounding like the people who scoff at the idea of female leaders. I'm sure you've heard the expression "the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference".

    I honestly loved with which her energy and passion about sharing the knowledge of the queens and their reign throughout the history of Egypt in her eyes. Absolutely stunning and as for the documentary it was amazingly detailed and I was really taken back to surprise when they showed Nefartari's Resting place from the inside. Loved it. It is so amazing to see this on RUclips. Seriously keep up the good work.
