Somebody needs to do a new book on Hatshepsut and all that has been very recently discovered. I feel there are still many things to discover about this woman.
I snuck into her mortuary temple in the middle of summer - 30 years ago when you could do those types of things. Its a magnificent place and my favourite temple and I want to thank you for clarifiying her reign for me. What an great woman and outrageous Pharaoh she was...
That must've been such an exhilarating and incredible experience 🥰 You're lucky for that! I can only dream of an experience like that haha 🤭 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and my research 🤗
Kayleigh you are the only one I have seen to tell the story giving Queen Hatshepsut her dues and her great achievement. Please do give us more of the Queens for women need others to look up to !
The Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut is one of my top favorite temples. Imagine the gardens at each level surrounding the ramps, with the cliff face close behind. On the West Bank of the Nile, it being lit by the first light of day must have been a god like experience.
I'm glad that the female rulers of antiquity are finally being recognised as such. Thank you for this video, Kayleigh. Fantastic and informative, as always.
I don’t know why your videos started showing up in my feed, but I am so glad they did. I really like how you are able to present a lot of material, in a way which is easy to absorb. Hatshepsut sounds like a super cool lady.
"The reason for her role as co-regent becoming insufficient to her, is unknown." At a quick guess, trying to put myself in her position, I'd say at first she was restricting herself, in effort to maintain the realm for her successor without causing conflict and possible loss with neighboring lands, but eventually realized that her passive stance was an encouragement to others to move against her. Then she adopted a more aggressive policy, as a pro-active self defense.
Case in point on why you’re so important. I love Egyptology. I’ve read books, listened to audiobooks, watched anything on the subject on TV, but I thought Hatshepsut turned out to be a respected pharaoh and ruled over Egypt for quite some time. It was the religious leaders that decided to pass her off as a male in pictures, reliefs and statues. I never knew they tried to erase her from history. Sounds like something a guy would do trying to erase her from the records. A woman would just want her to feel bad for a few days. Thanks for setting me straight Kayleigh.
Hatshepsut is one of my very favourite historical characters. I agree with your take on the ''damnatio memoriae'', the Red Chapel shows that there was no feud between Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III, she seems to have been a pragmatic leader who wanted to ensure a smooth succession with Tuthmosis being trained as a good army general - which is what he became. Her reign actually marks an important turning point in art, in the way royals are represented, especially in statuary, and there is also an important point about her promoting the cult of Amun right above other gods. This may have been seen as the seed for the Amarna schism. I remember coming across egyptologists's papers stating that a lot of the defacing of Hatsheput's monuments occurred after the fall of Akhenaten. That said, I also read papers stating that Akhenaten himself indulged in some of the defacing/appropriating. As for the mummy ''identification'', I always thought it was a rushed joke, it was done during the filming of a National Geographic docu (so no corporate pressure at all, eh), and the arguments put across in the actual docu do not stand the test of basic logic (that assumption that the skin marks on a group of mummies ''had to be caused by a genetic disease'', being only one of the absurdities which led to ''identifying'' a yet unknown mummy as Hatshepsut). I am glad that at least some officially sanctioned people came to their senses and questioned the identification from 2011 onwards. I questioned it upon watching the documentary.
I was lecturing at ASU last year, ironically about Civil War generals. I tangentially referenced Hatepshut in the context you present here, as an example of getting the historical record wrong by relying on stereotypes. I was interrupted by a MAGA type (this is Arizona) who said that she had lived in Egypt and knew that Hatepshut was not a woman. No credentials, no data, just reaction to an uncomfortable interpretation. Of course, she was exemplifying exactly the knee jerk myth spinning that had led me to exemplify Hatepshut in the first place. Suffice it to say the reputations of Generals Lee and Grant survived my lecture. I hope I made a dent in the caricatures of Old Marse and Grant the Butcher as historical spin. What stayed with me was that woman’s emotional attachment to a notion that the enigmatic Pharoah Hatepshut never existed and certainly wasn’t a woman
Actually the queen had 2 more kids one daughter and one son that came out of affair but she was more supportive towards her step son even when before his birth king wanted to kill both low class mother and unborn child but queen saved her secretly help her give birth. When queen's own biological son (result of affair) tried siege the power she ordered to kill him in order to secure the right of her step son. If wondering why she did it was actually pregnant with son( ancient egyptian used barley seeds for checking) but had miscarriage which later with the birth of step son she tried to protect from king about 2 years become obsessed thinking she's the rightful mother...there was more family drama but as you said later kings tried to erase lots of information just because she was woman!

Thank you for again a great and thorough documentary. Nothing better than this, so to relax after a hard working day. The pronunciation of names is most beautiful. How Historians arrived to know what Egyptian language pronunciation is?
I'm not sure if they know the exact pronunciations, and I'm sure i butchered a few as well haha. I try my best but my bilingual brain has trouble at times haha. Happy you enjoyed it! 🤗
Modern Coptic (Egyptian Christians) - which in essence is Ancient Egyptian written in the Greek alphabet, has help a lot and actually played a vital role in the decipherment of the hieroglyphs. I say "modern" Coptic, but I'll have to preface that statement by clarifying that first off I'm a bit ... let's say damaged by profession. The whole of it is, that while Coptic were spoken by the Egyptian Copts once upon a now somewhat long time ago, that is no longer the case. Coptic is however still the language used in the liturgy of the Coptic church to this day. Unfortunately, I can't tell you off the top of my head exactly when this change took place, but it's definitely after the 7:th century and the arrival of the Arabs and Islam taking over Egypt. The last hieroglyphic inscription - found at the Isis temple of Philae in Upper Egypt (just south of Aswan), dates to 394 CE, and the text is then repeated in Demotic which is a late-coming development of Hieratic (the second writing system used in Ancient Egypt for writing on papyrus or clay tablets - aka ostracon). ... I can feel I'm getting a bit into the weeds (which is funny, as it rhymes with reeds that were used to make pencils, and papyrus it self can be said to be a sort of reed, and the Field of Reeds is another name for the Egyptian afterlife - the Duat. Anyway.) Back to the topic. There are paleo-linguists, experts on dead languages, and unfortunately I'm not one of them - I could go and do some research and probably will after this, but here and now, I'm sad to say that this pretty much sums up my off the head knowledge. With one tiny exception being that as with all ancient scripts, unlike modern scripts, they tend to act more as - if you take the expression with a grain of sand * - pro memorandum than minute and exact representations of every single sound value. We see this in ancient Hebrew as well - just as with Ancient Egyptian writing, there are no vocals, only consonants are represented (and in Ancient Egyptian writing a few odd "soft consonants" as they're called). To make reading even easier, there are no spaces between words, and no punctuations are used. ) How ever, it's pretty hard, not to say friggin impossible - at least for us, and I'm imagining it was back then as well - to pronounce words consisting solely of consonants. Therefore, we insert an "E"-sound between consonants when pronouncing Ancient Egyptian words or names unless there's a soft consonant to aid us. This is a 100% modern custom and a fabrication of Egyptology to able us to speak about these things. Besides that the pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian is a mix of hard to soft guesses, where the "soft" guesses would be conclusions build upon varying evidence, and the rock hard guesses would be the insertion of an that aforementioned "E"-sound. Hope that gave you some sort of an answer - or rather some parts of a partly answer to your questions. And I'm sorry for rambling - whenever I get into Ancient Egypt and Egyptology, my brain just bombards me with information, reflections, ideas and different aspects to be regarded, and not only would I like to go into every single one of them: I also have to translate it into English, and remember what the heck I was talking about, and what's of importance and what's not. I do hope anyway that what was ... somewhat..? successful ...? Anyway. Cheers! And Stay Safe! * We're talking about Egypt after all and though there's salt in Egypt, I mean ... Sand - There's just So.Much.Sand!
Kayleigh, thank you for providing such a thorough representation of Hatsepshut. I had always admired what she had accomplished. Your discussion on whether Thutmmos III or Seti I defaced her images was interesting and provided some logical arguments against it being Thutmos III.
Thank you 🙂 it's somehow performing the worst so far 😂 I was very proud of this one, but we will see what the future brings, maybe more people get to watch it 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Well many people in general are unaware of Hatsepsut, who she was and her impact. Just as most people don't know that the Egyptian royal family was mainly matriarcial not patriarchal. The importance of pharaohs clouds this fact. The bloodline to the throne was primarily thru the chief wife of the pharaohs.
Hatshepsut was a remarkable person, her expeditions to Punt were quite an accomplishment. Large quantities of frankincense were used by the priests in the temples , by bringing quantities of this incense back from Punt she gained credibility for her rein with the priesthood, something that showed her considerable political acumen.
hi, Kayleigh! almost missed this premiere. i thot you were talking about tomorrow aft. luckily, i was still on line when it came up. excellent post! i've read about Hatshepsut for years, but you still had some info i didn't know. i always learn new things watching your videos. thank you, Klee! this series should be extremely interesting. it's important in modern civilization to understand the influence women have had in history. shows their ability to become movers and shakers in the world. i eagerly await the next great female leader in this series.👸👩🚀🦸♀️
And to think the premiere could've started 2 hours earlier but RUclips decided to be fun and ruin it with a check that took more than 2 hours.. I took the time to research her life and was amazed by how unique she was as a person 🥰 I look forward to the next as well, although first we have the Voynich Manuscript to uncover 🥰
This was so interesting. It's amazing that a Hatshepsut ruled as for as long as she did. Was she the only female Pharaoh until Cleopatra? Thank you 👩🏫
@@gnostic268 There is a documentary on You tube called "The Lost Queens of Egypt". I'd love to see Kayleigh cover that, as well as deep dive on Hatshepsut's mortuary temple.✌️🐱
I sure wish you would have been my History teacher! So beautiful! I can watch you for hours! And actually learn quite a bit of new information on so many of the topics that I am interested in and have studied some on, although, you are much more knowledgeable in most than I am.. I love learning about these amazing historical facts with you! I will be a fan as long as you put out videos!❤
Excellent job! I've watched a lot of documentaries on her life, but you condensed it enough to be shorter (for the short attention span of many people, now) and yet didn't leave much out. Very well done! 👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏾 _~standing ovation for you~_
It's appalling how Egyptologists back then lost their minds at the idea of a OMG! FEMALE pharaoh!! Just like they did with the idea of the Kushite pharaohs. Wouldn't the world be such a better place without prejudice and discrimination? 😋 Great video, Kayleigh! 👍👍❤❤
Now i have a love of history. Thanks. Enjoyed this and ones on hominids, human history. You make history easier to want to know and with a breath of beauty
It is possible Hatshepsut, even as pharaoh, may have dressed very much like a queen of the time, however, when her image was painted, on walls and papyrus, she would be shown in male pharaoh attire and dress, so that the formal look of the male pharaoh, was still considered the acceptable one, and a held respect was kept for past pharaohs, and pharaohs that were still to come. I'm not quite sure, but it makes sense that they would have done such a thing at that time. Pharaoh, of course, was a position that was usually held only by males, as they were mediators between the gods and world of men, and they were always portrayed by masculinised attire and adornments through the cultural artwork. It is also possible that many royals and artists across the land were in some type of agreement for a masculinised portrayal of Hatshepsut, so males would still be considered, the head of households in their respective families, across the land. Just a thought... thank you, Kayleigh, this is interesting stuff, good video :)
Great video👍🏾. What are your thoughts about the advance technology theories? Do you have any thoughts about the current timeline or do you see history being much older?
I've been meaning to cover that in a future fact or fiction video, I'm weary of speaking about it until I've done more research. I like to be informed before i make up my mind 🤗
Would you be able to do long form videos on tombs of the valley of the queens? I know that most people don't like to watch videos of great length, but you are obviously detail oriented and there is a segment of society that longs for and appreciates thorough documentation.
Please do a deep dive on Hatshepsut's mortuary temple. It has always been my favorite building. Great video on a great woman. Quality, as always, Kayleigh!✌️🐱 Pets to the kitties! P.S. Could you give us a closer look at the pyramids on your table?
I can definitely give a close up next time on the pyramids on the table, we bought them in Egypt in 2019 🤗 Deep dive on her mortuary temple is on the list for future videos, i had to cut it short to be able to include other structures as well haha 😅🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Looking forward to seeing it! Thx on the close-up for the pyramids. I've had a bucket list since before they were a 'thing'; Egypt, Stonehenge, and now, of course, Gobekli Tepe are the top three. I'll be lucky to hit the Paleolithic sites in the Hudson Valley,and that's not but a couple hundred miles or so from me, in New York!✌️🐱
Her mortuary temple is absolutely stunning. I’d love to have seen it in person but that’s not going to happen. I enjoy learning about historical females who are ass kickers!
She sure is, I've heard about her when I was in Egypt in 2018 & 2019, she's been fascinating me for a long time 🥰 I have a small corner here on the youtubes haha, but i try my best 🤭
I wish there was more time showing you talking about the specific subjects.. pictures of the subjects are helpful can become boring, but we never get bored watching you speak..❤
Your content is excellent, you are very knowledgeable. Just a small feedback, may be try to give some context at the beginning of the video for people who doesn't know much about History. I feel the content and thumbnail is directed more to Historians. Info like how Hatshepsut is one of the earliest and most successful female figures in History - how Thohutmus III is an emperor not a pharoah , in terms of how he was a great warrior etc ,,, should be highlighted
Matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all Mother's have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8) . In spiritualy matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary death mask) as the supreme balanced state of self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ruclips.net/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/видео.html In the name of the Father, the Son and the holy ghosted... ? ... inevitability.
The "iron" beard is a "counter weight" for the "jug in a basket" she's trying to balance on top of her head. Crowns are heavy and a burden. lol Love the channel! You will go far.
I'm relieved you didn't present the identification of her mummy as fact unlike others. I would be interesten in a video about Djeser-Djeseru or Thebes!
Since it's not certain beyond a doubt i didn't want to create a false narrative, there are already enough false claims surrounding her life and death 🙂 For sure will make a video about Djeser-Djeseru 🥰
I am glad to know her nephew did not try to erase her. She after all did him a favor and groomed him to be her heir. Why would he resent that. He got lots of training and time to grow. As you said he had the armies. hmm I wonder if she indulged him on many things.
I know this is a huge ask, but I would love to see a video all about the other female pharaohs. I only ever see things about Hatshepsut, who is awesome, but only one woman. And if there were so many female Pharaohs, I would love to learn more about them!
tutmoses was angry that he was treated as a servant by her , hence his slighting of her monuments. it was not an attempt to efface her, but to insult her. her cartouches are still visible, as in "see this one? she means nothing to me".
The Lady of the Two Lands made sure TIII was highly educated and grew into a great Warrior Pharaoh like her Father. Why? To protect Kemet and to maintain Maat!
13:10 Who was ruling, when her monuments were effaced? A new dynasty, wishing to wipe out records of the predecessors? Tuthmose III? What was his royal lineage? (jerk!)
I wonder why her tomb was called the most sacred of sacred places. Was the location called that before the tomb was built? I've visited a place that was held sacred by an ancient civilization, and slept overnight on the site, and it was a remarkable, yet explainable experience. Prior to that, I'd always scoffed at the idea of 'holy places'. I do not scoff any more.
No worries, RUclips completely messed it up and had me uncertain for more than 2 hours if i was even able to publish, i turned on premiere mode to see if it was viewable in some areas of the world ❤️
I’m okay with women ruling/presiding. They do seem to have more appropriate “knowledge and wisdom” whereas, for the most part, men haven’t done so well.
Moses was either born 80 years prior to Hatshepsut or 200 years later. The dating of Moses depends on which source we take. But the name Thutmose might be a remnant, I'm not sure ☺️
@Rusty Shackleford you must have read "Irish wisdom preserved in bible and pyramids" MacDari. Doubt if it was on your syllabus ;) History is sketchy at best!
There have been many ‘nasty’ occurrences of men belittling women in all of history. It annoys me. 😠 So glad that you are here to set the record straight ✅
It annoys me too, even now after making this video i still get people telling me she wasn't a pharaoh, she had a relationship with her royal stewart Senenmut and that her don't tried to erase her. Just showing people don't listen or read.. cause none of these claims are true. But i will make sure to do the important women of the past Justice, they deserve it and we should honor their lives ❤️🥰
I'm actually advocating for a lot of things, it's just my personal business to do so. I live in a country where the choice of abortion is a right reserved for the woman.
The People did not like her, because for thousands of years, they only had a Male Pharoh. The people must have been very upset, if they spent years after her passing, in Destroying her likeness and everything to do with her. Kinda like the Heretic King, Tuts father. Great video and no DisRespect intended. RH DSD
@@HistoryWithKayleigh We know her daughter was highly educated by Sennemut , groomed if you will to accumethe role of cheif wife to Thutmose. We aslso the path to the crown was materarail . She seems to dissappear after hef marriage to Tuthmose....I reject this theise. i think she may have been a aiiey of the king as cheif wife. She ad the bloodline and education to fufil her destiney. Web known Tuthmose was ver fammilily orinatored. thouphts???....Recent discovery in the tomb of Tutankamen bear a stricking to a female pharoah named Ameriten, daughter and cheif wife. after Nefaratari.
It's not completely certain that Neferure (Hatshepsut's daughter) married Thutmose III, it's even highly likely that Neferure died during the 16th year of Hatshepsut's reign.. her Tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, on top of a sheer cliff but it was almost completely empty, but did show signs of being used. The archaeologists that excavated the tomb we're almost certain beyond a doubt that Neferure died before her Mother.

"The reason for her role as co-regent becoming insufficient to her, is unknown."
At a quick guess, trying to put myself in her position, I'd say at first she was restricting herself, in effort to maintain the realm for her successor without causing conflict and possible loss with neighboring lands, but eventually realized that her passive stance was an encouragement to others to move against her. Then she adopted a more aggressive policy, as a pro-active self defense.

* We're talking about Egypt after all and though there's salt in Egypt, I mean ... Sand - There's just So.Much.Sand!
That unfinished obelisk is so cool.
Agreed 🤗
Kayleigh, thank you for providing such a thorough representation of Hatsepshut. I had always admired what she had accomplished. Your discussion on whether Thutmmos III or Seti I defaced her images was interesting and provided some logical arguments against it being Thutmos III.
Thank you so much Kaleigh for posting this. I have long been fascinated with this Pharaoh. You gave her the credit she so rightfully deserves!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Personally I think THIS is your best video!
Thank you 🙂 it's somehow performing the worst so far 😂
I was very proud of this one, but we will see what the future brings, maybe more people get to watch it 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Well many people in general are unaware of Hatsepsut, who she was and her impact. Just as most people don't know that the Egyptian royal family was mainly matriarcial not patriarchal. The importance of pharaohs clouds this fact. The bloodline to the throne was primarily thru the chief wife of the pharaohs.
Hatshepsut was a remarkable person, her expeditions to Punt were quite an accomplishment. Large quantities of frankincense were used by the priests in the temples , by bringing quantities of this incense back from Punt she gained credibility for her rein with the priesthood, something that showed her considerable political acumen.
working my way through your back catalogue of great videos Kayleigh , you pack some great information into your work , another great upload .thanks
Thank you 🤗
loving your channel. Really interesting and strangely relaxing.
thank you so much! :)
hi, Kayleigh! almost missed this premiere. i thot you were talking about tomorrow aft. luckily, i was still on line when it came up. excellent post! i've read about Hatshepsut for years, but you still had some info i didn't know. i always learn new things watching your videos. thank you, Klee!
this series should be extremely interesting. it's important in modern civilization to understand the influence women have had in history. shows their ability to become movers and shakers in the world. i eagerly await the next great female leader in this series.👸👩🚀🦸♀️
And to think the premiere could've started 2 hours earlier but RUclips decided to be fun and ruin it with a check that took more than 2 hours..
I took the time to research her life and was amazed by how unique she was as a person 🥰
I look forward to the next as well, although first we have the Voynich Manuscript to uncover 🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh aahh, the mysterious voynich😱 should be very interesting, Klee🤩
I'd really like to see your take on queen Zenobia of Palmyra
I can add her to the list🤗
1:49 I'd love to learn more about the domestic (and foreign) policies at this time!
Amazing presentation again. Love the Topic of women in ancient times. Thank you
Another superb video! Your videos are beautifully presented, highly organised, concise and full of the latest accurate information.
Thank you so much 🥰
This was so interesting. It's amazing that a Hatshepsut ruled as for as long as she did. Was she the only female Pharaoh until Cleopatra? Thank you 👩🏫
Before her there was Kentkaus I some 10 dynasties earlier and Sobekneferu 6 dynasties earlier 🙂 she's the third female pharaoh in Egyptian history 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Thanks! 🙂
@@gnostic268 There is a documentary on You tube called "The Lost Queens of Egypt". I'd love to see Kayleigh cover that, as well as deep dive on Hatshepsut's mortuary temple.✌️🐱
I can look into it Phoenix, I'm definitely planning on covering most if not all Egyptian Queens, as well as Celtic Queens and so on and so forth🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Boudica! LOL I think there were one or two prominent Viking women, also. I know, that's Iron Age.✌️🐱
I sure wish you would have been my History teacher! So beautiful! I can watch you for hours! And actually learn quite a bit of new information on so many of the topics that I am interested in and have studied some on, although, you are much more knowledgeable in most than I am.. I love learning about these amazing historical facts with you! I will be a fan as long as you put out videos!❤
Excellent job! I've watched a lot of documentaries on her life, but you condensed it enough to be shorter (for the short attention span of many people, now) and yet didn't leave much out. Very well done!
👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏾
_~standing ovation for you~_
I am constantly amazed with the depth of your knowledge on these subjects! Surely you have a photographic memory! ❤
It's appalling how Egyptologists back then lost their minds at the idea of a OMG! FEMALE pharaoh!! Just like they did with the idea of the Kushite pharaohs. Wouldn't the world be such a better place without prejudice and discrimination? 😋
Great video, Kayleigh! 👍👍❤❤
Now i have a love of history. Thanks.
Enjoyed this and ones on hominids, human history. You make history easier to want to know and with a breath of beauty
Thanks
It is possible Hatshepsut, even as pharaoh, may have dressed very much like a queen of the time, however, when her image was painted, on walls and papyrus, she would be shown in male pharaoh attire and dress, so that the formal look of the male pharaoh, was still considered the acceptable one, and a held respect was kept for past pharaohs, and pharaohs that were still to come. I'm not quite sure, but it makes sense that they would have done such a thing at that time. Pharaoh, of course, was a position that was usually held only by males, as they were mediators between the gods and world of men, and they were always portrayed by masculinised attire and adornments through the cultural artwork. It is also possible that many royals and artists across the land were in some type of agreement for a masculinised portrayal of Hatshepsut, so males would still be considered, the head of households in their respective families, across the land. Just a thought... thank you, Kayleigh, this is interesting stuff, good video :)
I loved this video, great information, interesting part of history!
Thanks Mom 🥰❤️
Great video👍🏾.
What are your thoughts about the advance technology theories? Do you have any thoughts about the current timeline or do you see history being much older?
I've been meaning to cover that in a future fact or fiction video, I'm weary of speaking about it until I've done more research. I like to be informed before i make up my mind 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I’ll be looking forward to that video. I enjoy the content and the structure of you videos keep up the good work. 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
Would you be able to do long form videos on tombs of the valley of the queens? I know that most people don't like to watch videos of great length, but you are obviously detail oriented and there is a segment of society that longs for and appreciates thorough documentation.
I will look into it in the future, i have looked into Nefertari's tomb in my video about her life 🥰
1:23 WHY am I trying to magnify this image? It's not as if i can read heiroglyphs...though it still strikes me as worthy of close examination.
Please do a deep dive on Hatshepsut's mortuary temple. It has always been my favorite building.
Great video on a great woman. Quality, as always, Kayleigh!✌️🐱
Pets to the kitties!
P.S. Could you give us a closer look at the pyramids on your table?
I can definitely give a close up next time on the pyramids on the table, we bought them in Egypt in 2019 🤗
Deep dive on her mortuary temple is on the list for future videos, i had to cut it short to be able to include other structures as well haha 😅🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Looking forward to seeing it! Thx on the close-up for the pyramids. I've had a bucket list since before they were a 'thing'; Egypt, Stonehenge, and now, of course, Gobekli Tepe are the top three. I'll be lucky to hit the Paleolithic sites in the Hudson Valley,and that's not but a couple hundred miles or so from me, in New York!✌️🐱
Great overview - most of this was unknown to me previously.
Happy to hear that 🥰
Her mortuary temple is absolutely stunning. I’d love to have seen it in person but that’s not going to happen. I enjoy learning about historical females who are ass kickers!
Hatshepsut is the OG BADass
She sure is!
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Im actually Egyptian, and i have got to say you do an excellent job with telling these stories. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much🤗
Found you via Discord. Looking like you have some pretty good content on this channel. Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much! 🤗
Great video. Didn’t know most of this,, fascinating. She must have been very smart! 🙏🌺
She sure was 🤗
Amaziiiiing! July 2022 KEEP TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!
Fantastic video! I actually have my own video on Hatshepsut :)
I’m glad I found your channel. I look forward to more great work from you!
i've actually seen your video around december
@@HistoryWithKayleigh That’s nice to hear. Hatshepsut is currently my best performing video. She’s a very popular historical figure
@@HistoryWithKayleigh You seem very knowledgeable btw. I’m extremely impressed by you.
She sure is, I've heard about her when I was in Egypt in 2018 & 2019, she's been fascinating me for a long time 🥰
I have a small corner here on the youtubes haha, but i try my best 🤭
Thank you so much 🥺 i take my time to research and try to memorize what i want to talk about, i love the ancient world a lot 🥰
very educational videos, i like the vids you make, keep them coming beautiful , thanks kayleigh
Wonderful Kayleigh!
Feel free to share 😅 this video flopped so hard when i made it 😅
I wish there was more time showing you talking about the specific subjects.. pictures of the subjects are helpful can become boring, but we never get bored watching you speak..❤
Hatshepsut is my favorite Pharaoh. Thanks, Kayleigh for this Excellent video.
Thank you so much🥰
History should never underestimate the women ...they are just as capable and as intelligent as a man.
They sure can be 🤗 hope you are doing well Terry!
Your content is excellent, you are very knowledgeable.
Just a small feedback, may be try to give some context at the beginning of the video for people who doesn't know much about History.
I feel the content and thumbnail is directed more to Historians.
Info like how Hatshepsut is one of the earliest and most successful female figures in History - how Thohutmus III is an emperor not a pharoah , in terms of how he was a great warrior etc ,,, should be highlighted
Matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all Mother's have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8) .
In spiritualy matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary death mask) as the supreme balanced state of self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny.
To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society.
A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ruclips.net/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/видео.html
In the name of the Father, the Son and the holy ghosted... ? ... inevitability.
The most fascinating historical person for me!
I absolutely agree with you, she had to be the first in this new series 🥰
The "iron" beard is a "counter weight" for the "jug in a basket" she's trying to balance on top of her head.
Crowns are heavy and a burden. lol
Love the channel! You will go far.
Good job, as always.
Thank you!!
I'm relieved you didn't present the identification of her mummy as fact unlike others. I would be interesten in a video about Djeser-Djeseru or Thebes!
Since it's not certain beyond a doubt i didn't want to create a false narrative, there are already enough false claims surrounding her life and death 🙂
For sure will make a video about Djeser-Djeseru 🥰
You should do video on Sobekneferu, Egypt's first lady pharaoh
Wait am I stupid? Where is the carving of obelisks being transported I don't see this at 15:43...
Another great video by my favorite youtuber. :-)
Thanks!!
Very informative, Thanks
Thank you 🤗
Beautiful video of Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤️.
this video deserves over a million views
Thanks 🙂
Feel free to share it 🤗
I am glad to know her nephew did not try to erase her. She after all did him a favor and groomed him to be her heir. Why would he resent that. He got lots of training and time to grow. As you said he had the armies. hmm I wonder if she indulged him on many things.
I know this is a huge ask, but I would love to see a video all about the other female pharaohs. I only ever see things about Hatshepsut, who is awesome, but only one woman. And if there were so many female Pharaohs, I would love to learn more about them!
Thank you! Very interesting.
🤗
Wauw.....wat een hoop informatie.
Wat een verhaal ook weer.
Wat een leven had ze he 🤗
tutmoses was angry that he was treated as a servant by her , hence his slighting of her monuments.
it was not an attempt to efface her, but to insult her. her cartouches are still visible, as in "see this one? she means nothing to me".
It wasn't him defacing her, i even make that very known in the video...
Hatshepsut protected TIII.
He respected her.
When he came of age and commanded the army, they continued their teamwork.
They were Co-regents.
The Lady of the Two Lands made sure TIII was highly educated and grew into a great Warrior Pharaoh like her Father. Why? To protect Kemet and to maintain Maat!
Please consider doing a video on Neith or Neithhotep.
Hi! Great video ! do you have any idea why the Speos Artemidos was named after the Greek goddess Artemis?
The Greeks renamed it, we don't know the old name for it
Are there any other structures that use the red black and white stones in Egypt, that you know of?
Not from the top of my head 🙂
Hey Kayleigh, how come they all seem to be depicted as riding early versions of Vespas? Sorry! Thanks for another great vid. Dave J
Hahaha 😂
Thank you. 👏👏👏
🤗🥰
13:10 Who was ruling, when her monuments were effaced? A new dynasty, wishing to wipe out records of the predecessors? Tuthmose III? What was his royal lineage? (jerk!)
🤩🔥gold
still feeling lucky
🤗happy to hear!
I wonder why her tomb was called the most sacred of sacred places. Was the location called that before the tomb was built? I've visited a place that was held sacred by an ancient civilization, and slept overnight on the site, and it was a remarkable, yet explainable experience. Prior to that, I'd always scoffed at the idea of 'holy places'. I do not scoff any more.
Do you know she had a halo before she vanished? Any info on her spiritual journey?
Nope, no info 🙂 all the information known about her was included in this video 🤗
I used to LOVE eating Hot Sheep Soup...until I found out it was known to be bad for me for thousands of Years.
Excellent as usual, just slow down a little if possible please, so much information to absorb.🤗
I will try and slow down a bit, or put in some lovely footage for a moment to take a short break
So I want to know how we discern pronunciation of names from hieroglyphics.
Good question, i have no idea haha. I usually pronounce it the way i think it was pronounced 😅🤣
😢 I was sleeping 💤 I missed the live presentation ☹️
No worries, RUclips completely messed it up and had me uncertain for more than 2 hours if i was even able to publish, i turned on premiere mode to see if it was viewable in some areas of the world ❤️
I want to voyage to punt.
Same! 🤗
Dope video
Thank you!
@@HistoryWithKayleigh you are very welcome ☺️
You have done an excellent job with this video. Women have always been great leaders.
Like something out of “DUNE.” :)
why don't they ever make shows or documentaries about hapshetut who actually did something of worth unlike Cleopatra 7th
Thank you!
🤗🥰
Excellent and flawless analysis of Hatshepsut and her relationship with Tuthmose III.
When they died, did female Pharaohs get buried in a lavish sarcophagus?
I’m okay with women ruling/presiding. They do seem to have more appropriate “knowledge and wisdom” whereas, for the most part, men haven’t done so well.
Teacher please you covered the industrial revolution time
Make a video
I will stick with ancient history for a very long time 🙂 it's the focus of my channel and my personal passion 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh teacher specially for European industrial revolution
Maybe one day in the distant future. 🙂 But for the upcoming years i will probably keep making ancient videos
Maam please you start a live upcoming videos
I shared upcoming videos in a community post 🙂
Isn't this roughly when the Biblical Moses was born in Egypt?
Pharaoh Mose could control the waters of the Nile and Moses the yam suph (red sea).
Moses was either born 80 years prior to Hatshepsut or 200 years later. The dating of Moses depends on which source we take. But the name Thutmose might be a remnant, I'm not sure ☺️
@Rusty Shackleford you must have read "Irish wisdom preserved in bible and pyramids" MacDari. Doubt if it was on your syllabus ;)
History is sketchy at best!
Fascinating
There have been many ‘nasty’ occurrences of men belittling women in all of history. It annoys me. 😠
So glad that you are here to set the record straight ✅
It annoys me too, even now after making this video i still get people telling me she wasn't a pharaoh, she had a relationship with her royal stewart Senenmut and that her don't tried to erase her.
Just showing people don't listen or read.. cause none of these claims are true.
But i will make sure to do the important women of the past Justice, they deserve it and we should honor their lives ❤️🥰
I'm actually advocating for a lot of things, it's just my personal business to do so. I live in a country where the choice of abortion is a right reserved for the woman.
It's a good story, tell it any way you want .
The People did not like her, because for thousands of years, they only had a Male Pharoh. The people must have been very upset, if they spent years after her passing, in Destroying her likeness and everything to do with her. Kinda like the Heretic King, Tuts father. Great video and no DisRespect intended. RH DSD
More than I can absorb in one listening, but that's okay
Might need to listen again then haha, i try to keep them clean and concise as i try to give as much information as possible haha 🙈
Kayleigh I need your, help.
What do you need help with?
@@HistoryWithKayleigh We know her daughter was highly educated by Sennemut , groomed if you will to accumethe role of cheif wife to Thutmose. We aslso the path to the crown was materarail . She seems to dissappear after hef marriage to Tuthmose....I reject this theise. i think she may have been a aiiey of the king as cheif wife. She ad the bloodline and education to fufil her destiney. Web known Tuthmose was ver fammilily orinatored. thouphts???....Recent discovery in the tomb of Tutankamen bear a stricking to a female pharoah named Ameriten, daughter and cheif wife. after Nefaratari.
It's not completely certain that Neferure (Hatshepsut's daughter) married Thutmose III, it's even highly likely that Neferure died during the 16th year of Hatshepsut's reign.. her Tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, on top of a sheer cliff but it was almost completely empty, but did show signs of being used.
The archaeologists that excavated the tomb we're almost certain beyond a doubt that Neferure died before her Mother.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Ok thank you.
I would like to see more of these. Though I think someone has a “lady crush.” 😏
Haha 😂
