What I find facinating, apart from the archeology, is the fact that the Westerners got dreadfully sick with Malaria but not the Egyptian workers. I live in South Africa and I lost a very healthy cousin to Malaria. Scientists tried to eradicate Malaria in Africa but the virus simply mutated and still lives.
Locals often have genetic mutations that help fighting the parasite, mutations that are unknown of in Europe (as Europeans didn't need any of them to survive).
A sad story still being repeated. Sometimes the survivors of childhood malaria have some adult resistance. Also, sometimes persons having the Duffy blood group variant have innate resistance to one form of Malaria, but not to the deadly, common falciparum (sp?) form that is probably prevalent in most of Africa.
This is a 'site' with serious question marks. It has all the hallmarks and efficacy of a stage managed production. Academic scholars with decades of financial support speaks volumes in this day and age. This site, like Giza and Gobekli Tepe, should be viewed for what they are - simply tourist attractions.
Thank you very much for your hard work. Can you help with the underwater arch. Picture and these big questions of before the flood. How megalith construction was occuring. Naztec Lines, etc. Also help with getting America and Europe behind the ridiculous flat earth thing. Which was meant as quack news. Even the Native Americans new the earth was round. We have to teach this correctly. Also, to think that Africans or anyone with black skin would not have made wealth by using gorillas and evolution publicly is lame. In fact it was probably very important for some, with crowds drawn in.

Nicely researched presentation as far as it goes. However, according to David Rohl it is wrong to equate Egypt's Shoshenk as the same as the Biblical Shishak. They are different pharaohs. Rohl in his documentaries convincingly explains why conventional pharaonic chronology has a missing 300 year gap and many pharaohs are completely mis-dated and are, in fact, much older. Consequently, a lot of Biblical dating is wrong and confusing. You would do well to stop re-gurgitating discredited conventional 19th Century dating and apply your knowledge to answering the blatant discrepancies that Rohl has uncovered. Otherwise, you are just another academic nit-wit living in a pleasant ivory-tower making a pretense of furthering Biblical research, but actually contributing nothing.
I've subscribed. I'm pleased that right at the end of Dr Cline's lecture, David Rohl does ask a question about the Shoshenk cartouche rock's strata, which apparently cannot be verified. In my view, finding the rest of the rock, or finding similar fragments with Shoshenk's cartouche in a verifiable strata, has not been carried out thoroughly enough despite what Dr Cline claims. This evidence has to be there! David should be allowed to organize a special dig at Megiddo specifically to find Shoshenk's cartouche in a verifiable strata.
What exactly does domestication mean? It seems like we can't do those things today, much of them. Just breeding and interbreeding and we come up with all this? Cmon.
What do you mean? Do you mean we can't domesticate animals any more? Have you never heard of people breaking a wild horse? Wild baby elephants that are orphaned are domesticated in India. There are young wild wolves that come to play with people and their dogs, that is how it probably started. The animals we domesticated are the ones that we have a use for, so we don't have a reason to domesticate more animals...
This is SO fascinating. Eric Cline is the best. I feel so fortunate to be able to benefit from Eric's vast studies.
Thank you for this history. It's very interesting.
Har Meggido!
Subbed...

People in malarial regions can develop immunity. Sickle cell gives immunity for example.
It's obvious that Europeans didn't develop that immunity.
Dressing the stage for tomorrow.

Israeli war of independence?
Cline sure likes to hear himself talk......
That was what he was asked to come and do...
You know that this is SUPPOSED to be a LECTURE, do you not?
Not very bright, are you? Just Steve is just dumb.

Long story short: "Let's you and him fight, and if you don't you're a poopy-pants."
This is not how academic discourse works.
