I'm so happy a remake of the old Sierra city builders are getting made!
@@weirdofromhalo I have many happy memories playing those!
The biggest mistake historians make is to think how similar were people back then to us when in reality they were quite different.
@@pythag123 it looked great. I played only Pharaoh and enjoyed it a lot. Too bad I didn't get my hands on the chinese nor the greek versions.
This game very much looked like the Zeus game I loved a lot! I'd guess they're from the same developers?
YES, please more "Daily life of" videos - some of the most interesting aspects of history!
Ancient Ethiopia!!
Golden Age Baghdad
and
Seljuk Rum Anatolia
The German part of the Holy Roman empire during medieval times pls.
Italian reinessance! :D another great topic for common life
Anything about pre islamic Iran!
I genuinely appreciate content that is more focused on the life of the common people as opposed to grand political or military stuff
Thank you.
Your comment is criminally underrated.
@Chief Sitting Feather (We'z fake Indigenous!!) your comment is highly underrated
I think that albeit battles and large histories attracted me to the channel, video like these should be appreciated to avoid a partial view of history.
Same
Word.
Just wanted to comment on how much I love this channel. Y'all manage to make history come alive through your immense efforts and I couldn't be more grateful for this channel's existence.
Same
As an Ancient Egyptian myself, I'm happy to see our fear of hippos finally acknowledged
I like beer
Ancient Egyptian Michael Smith
@@johngrebenor2363 aye it’s a very traditional ancient Egyptian surname smith lmao. I’m Sumerian myself though 😁
@@timsmith1323 Can confirm - my last name isn't Smith, so I'm not an ancient Egyptian.
Sho'va, Jafa! Kree!
From the First Crusade to the English Civil War to Alexander the Great to Ancient Egypt, I love the historical diversity of this channel.
And they have lots of non European content
3 of the documents that they founded and really impressed me about their life and how its near to our life nowadays:
1- an attendence for workers in a query and the guy who was taking the attendance had wanted to count something so he flipped the papper and done the math on the other side. Very impressive to see that they had an attendance sheet in ancient world😳
2- a father send a letter to his son at the university in the capital which is one of the funniest documents as the hard talk are very similar to what is used with children in modern egypt. Actually very similar to a one that wrote by my grandfather to my uncle when he went to university.
3- was a document of a law suit of a dispute on a house. Which it sounds very modern.
Frankly what I like about ancient Egypt that you can find allot of this documents and not just the tales of the rulers but people who lived there
U Egyptian?
@@chewhard8332 Esp. Egypt also had a prolific bureaucracy, with professional scribes keeping records of lots of stuff. So we do have texts mentioning the working conditions, wages, and so on of lower-class people, mostly because they were mentioned in these official documents. And for some official documents, it's not necessary that the holder can read them. They just need to have them, and show them to the scribe if needed.
And even though only a small minority could write or read, you can pay a scribe to write a letter for you, and read it out to the recipient. So while of course the poorest people are under-represented, it's not only wealthy literate people who left us records of their lives.
As for the pyramids, them lasting this long is impressive but not a result of "precision" or something. They're basically artificial mountains - huge piles of stone in a very stable shape, in a very dry climate and on land that no-one needed for anything else. So nobody went to the huge effort to intentionally destroy them, and as we can see with natural mountains, they don't just disappear by themselves.
Always remember the legendary and infamous Ea-Nasir from Ur. People really are all the same in many fundamental levels across cultures and time.
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب I fail to make a connection.
@@egyptianboi305 Yes I am egyptian😊and the society still simiilar till now and we have many cultural habits from this days. I think because of geography and life around the nile didnt change even with the modern changes
I've been following you guys for a long time and this has been my favorite episode! Love this dive into culture, economics, and family structure. Please consider more like this!
It's a cozy vid too lol Like people just living their lives peacefully.
As an Egyptian, I see a whole lot of similarities and connections between us and them. Fascinating
Always been fascinated by Ancient Egyptian history.
This was an excellent video. I love getting these glimpses into the more mundane aspects of ancient cultures. It's so fascinating, especially as we don't often hear about them, compared to the elite parts of those cultures.
Agreed!
When I heard this was sponsored by Pharaoh I got extremely excited! I actually jumped a little in excitement! This was my favorite video game growing up! I loved the style and the fact it was based around Ancient Egypt. I also loved it because it was like building with LEGOs but on a computer and I had little meeples running around the screen. I still have my original game manual from way back in (2001? 2003? Idk when my Mom bought the game, but I was super young being like 5-7 years old). I loved that game so much. I spent hours playing it. Sometimes I got waaay too distracted by the game. But I loved it so much that when I lost my original disk my Mom bought me a replacement disk copy of the game. I still play it occasionally.
I kid you not, when I clicked this video, I immediately think about the Pharaoh game because it's quite a large part of my childhood. Low and behold, this video uses the remake version of said game and even uses gameplay footage from it! Not only this was an amazing video in itself, it's personally also a trip (sail?) down memory lane.
I love when you make video about the society and social live its very relaxing to watch, and we might need to break from the war and politics sometimes
Please make more ancient egyptian videos. There are so many topic to cover: the priest, scribe, nobles, landlord, landowning nobles, and many more
as an Egyptian I would like to thank you for this excellent video, btw we still do stick fighting today its called tahtib.
I love Ancient Egyptian history!
Bros a member 💀
I really enjoy these types of videos. Something about the mundaneness of their lives makes me feel connected in a way that battle videos really don’t.
Egyptian 1#: "I don't know if having Greeks as pharaohs is a good idea..."
Egyptian 2#: "Don't worry. Alexander proved himself worthy before our gods, and we are very lucky to have one of his best generals as our ruler. It is evident that things can only go well from now on ..."
Thaïs of Athens: "Ptolemy, honey! What beautiful buildings the Egyptians have. Can I burn them?" 😊
Egyptian 2#: "F*ck..."
This was amazing! I would love to see more anthropological videos like this, there are to many videos merely about the political events or war.
It's always nice to take a step back from the grand and epic to observe the small and miniscule. Reminds you that it's, many times, the small folk who have truly built up to the world we know today.
The Nile has captured the imagination of people for over 5000 years and it looks as incredible now as it must've back then.
My ancestors are happy to see their everyday life is depicted in such a beautiful way.
I would love to see more Daily Life videos on ancient cultures, please consider doing more of these, thank you.
As Pharaoh player, the grid layout give me heart attack.
And please make more of these [daily life of...] series, they are really great!
I don't mind these type of videos to advertise a game at all. Very insightful and interesting. Best channel
Amazing amazing video. Can we please get more videos on the lives of common people from other ancient civilizations? This was fascinating.
I hope to see more of these daily life videos!
I loved this! Please consider making more in this vein in the future!
Thank you for the insight into the ancient Egyptian commoners. Keep up the great work.
This civilization was so advanced both in culture and technology. If I could go back in time, I would come here and prevent the fall of this beautiful civilization.
Yeah slave labor to build pyramids is a lost art
You would beautifully die from an infected cut thanks to their advanced tech
@@mcashw That is totally wrong lol
@@abcdedfg8340 Maybe not totally. There could've been some somewhere in the production line. Maybe helping with transportation or something.
We may not be building impressively enormous stone buildings anymore but it's definitely preferable to live in our modern civilization. We have air-conditioning and an 8-hour workday!
Fascinating, absolutely wonderful to see everyday life in Ancient Egypt. It doesn't sound too bad at all, very pleasant in fact!
I'm Egyptologist and that video is a masterpiece
In describing life back then
Thank you K&G for sharing that
The video is sensational and as a suggestion I'd really love if u indulge in Egyptian culture more often in future episodes !
Pharaoh and Zeus are two games that defined my childhood. Hundreds of hours after school and weekends were spent in those universes. I'm gonna have to get my old PC running again just to get Steam and the new version.
Hello K&G, do you plan to release or sell these magnificent maps online?
I would love to have them hanged on my room's walls :)
There are ideas flowing, we'll see :-)
@@KingsandGenerals please do sikh empire
@@KingsandGenerals please do anathar bib shadd and rostom
Once again a great video which gives us a better perspective on the human past . Thank you Kings and Genarals ❤
Love your channels and this was fantastic video (and barely a king or general mentioned)! Would love to see more videos on the lives of ordinary people of the ancient world.
I am Greek but we love Egypt since well forever. Especially ancient Egypt but Ptolemaic Egypt, Roman Egypt, medieval and nowadays are almost very interesting as well. Always great wealth so much ancient culture and history not to mention its the most mysteriously beautiful country in the world.
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب no. Maybe you mean Thebes of Egypt?
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب there is no evidence of ethnic/cultural relation between canaanites and Greeks except a similar phoenician style alphabet that German philosophers alongside with plato , socrates, aristotle, diodorus conclude it was cretan and not canaanite or phoenician. Herodotus may refer to a trade post but he is not sure about the fact.
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب I also like learning about Late bronze age history of Greeks Egyptians Canaanites Assyrians and Hittites is very interesting period because of the bronze age collapse it was the dark ages of antiquity check it more often if you haven't my friend
we egypitans respect greeks and hold them in high regard even today. yunan!!!!
Will love to see videos tackling civil life in other civilizations
In a world full of Established Titles and other nonsense, I just want to say how much I appreciate ads like this. Relevant to the video, and therefore relevant to the viewer. I loved the original Pharaoh, and had the new one on my wishlist, yet I'd have had no idea it released today without this ad, and now this video put me in the mood to play it. 10/10, should be the way all advertising works. K&G rocks
This was sooo cool, i loved Ancient Egypt histories. Great job
Thanks a lot for this fantastic video. I really enjoyed it. Love from egypt 🇪🇬
This video was amazing. Thank you for all your hard work!
Daily life of ancients are the most enjoyable for sure. More please :)
This series has so much potential!
This was a really fascinating look into the lives of everyday Ancient Egyptians. I wonder if Invicta ever did a video on this?
This content is brilliant and exactly what I’m searching for, little quick rundowns
a refreshing and light hearted change from the usual war content, please make a full series on Egypt :)
I played that game sooooo much. So awesome to see it revamped! Did they do that with Caeser as well?
I've been watching videos from this channel for a very long time and this is probably the best one.
Incredible documentary. I applaud thee and thy work. Very happy to support you people, keep it up.
I enjoyed this. It was fascinating. Yes, please do more day in the life of ancient civilizations. This is one of the best-if not THE BEST- history channels on RUclips. And I love the pace. It's not a rush job, but steady and thorough.
Thanks a lot for this fantastic video. I really enjoyed it. Love from egypt ❤🇪🇬
Ok. We know aliens didn't built the pyramids. But who taught them how to cook bread?
My theory is either the cats, or the baboons.
Like the cats would even consider helping anyone
@@KingsandGenerals Yep. Cats never forgot their origins as divine beings worshiped as gods in Egypt. That's why "Dogs have owners but cats have servants"
So, this is how my ancestors lived . thanks for the amazing video.
Your ancestors were legendary peoples. You must be very proud.
sad that you persecute the true descendants of egyptians the copts (your own kin) while elevating the language and culture of your arab conquerors.
@@RichardEdwards40 most Egyptian is copt
@@cuzimmoody6470 you idiot. Just because latin influenced the german and english language doesnt mean anything, We still speak our native germanic language. (language influence via loanwords is NOT language replacement like how egyptians switched from egyptian to arabic which was a COMPLETELY different language).
@@cuzimmoody6470 The difference is latin was adopted willingly while Arabic was FORCED and imposed on the Egyptians. The coptic language was banned by muslims The Coptic language massively declined under the hands of Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, who issued strict orders completely prohibiting its use anywhere whether in homes, roadways, or schools. Those who didnt comply had their tongues cut off. He even ordered mothers that spoke to their children in Coptic to also have their tongue cut off. He personally walked the streets of Cairo and eavesdropped on Coptic-speaking homes to find out if any family was speaking Coptic.[20][21].
Love this so much!
The animation brings the ancient world to life!
I wish Warhammer had given us an actual Egyptian faction, instead of a reskin of the Vampires. The animal headed gods alone would provide so many troop types and unique powers, and the civilization has some interesting mechanics.
In general, it's weird Ancient Egypt isn't used as a blueprint for more fantasy civilizations. They make for such a cool and beautiful people.
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب Tell them that when they inspire a movie as cool as the Mummy (1999), they can talk to me
In Warhammer 40K the "Egyptian faction" are the necrons
@@jereferreira5086 And they kinda suck as an Egyptian stand in. WAY more menacing when they were straight up terminators.
Please do daily life of ancient Greece and Rome.
"Bread beer and onions" breakfast of champions
This is my favorite topic in history, daily life of normal people. Hope to see more in the future!
What a terrific video! I love content about the lives of the common peoples.
Thank you so much for this video. I had homework due the next day and I quickly copied and pasted this video :)
Could you guys do a video or documentary on the Arameans? I don't see a lot of content on them.
Yeah
great overview, would be nice to show some reliefs of daily life where the bake bread, make mud bricks, etc
Really loving this video! thank you K&G for this glimpse of a part of humanity's history.
this was by far my favorite video and i would love it if you would do more videos like this and on ancient Egypt
Raise your hand if you've been watching Kings and Generals for a long time🤚
This was very cool! I'd love to see videos like this about all the ancient cultures!
That was a very interesting video. It was cool to learn more about everyday life rather then historic events or the ruling class.
Very good video. I'm especially excited about the old game. I played it when it first came out. Funny, I was literally just thinking of that game a couple days ago, saying it should be redone, but figured maybe it was a niche game not many knew about. Glad I was wrong! Great job on the video, and I would definitely enjoy more!
"I am from Upper Egypt and I saw my grandparents living the same lifestyle that you described in the video."
thanks for your vedios ❤
Its amazing so many of the details of how egyptians lived back then, how similar their way of life to some extent to the modern world
Civilization isn’t a nation it is its people, and while long gone they are still here in the hearts of those who will take the time to remember them.
9:45 - So interesting to discover that the egyptians invented the gingerbread man figure.
Keep the good work, K&G!
I would definitely enjoy more videos about the daily lives of average people in ancient civilizations! This one was fascinating, as always. Thank you for making these!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
so greatful for this video, proud to be an Egyptian.
Hearing ancient writers comment about people grieving for their dead pets really shows that people, no matter the age they lived in, are the same.
WWWOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!
*Comment made to support the channel and video!*
Breakfast in other countries: No, we shall not drink beer. It's not healthy for the children.
Breakfast in ancient Egypt: Another beer honey.
This was interesting. Thank You, Kings and Generals
Can’t believe your content is free,
Best history channel of all time
Great video, haven't come across this content anywhere else
I hope you will create more like this😘
You should do a video about the Indus Valley civilization in Pakistan. Not a lot of people know about it and should be a interesting topic to cover.
Hello from the land of Indus valley civilization!!
YAAAS!
More Daily Life Stuff Please!!!
Thank you very much for this video! From Egypt, with much love
It would be very interesting to explore the process of how this ancient culture and language was replaced over time through multiple occupations.
It was replaced during the Muslims occupation. Coptic is the last stage of the Egyptian language. During the medieval period they had a Muslim governor who threatened to cut the tongues out of anyone who was caught speaking it in public, so most everyone switched to using Arabic which was the official language of the government and of the dominant religion.
I'm not an alcoholic I just live like an ancient Egyptian
Thanks for your fairness
trusted information
one of the best videos! great channel
The ancient Egyptians were an amazing people. I speak without excitement or doubt that the ancient Egyptians live on in their true descendants: the Copts!
Modern day Egyptians are also descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. Not just Copts.
@@-Blast Indeed. But Coptic language is more Egyptian than Arabic language.
Majority of the Egyptians today are the direct descendants of the ancient ones
@@vitorpereira9515 Egyptian Arabic has Coptic influences
@@vitorpereira9515 the coptic lanugage is literally the egypyian language. arabic is an alien langyage brought by invaders that drink camel urine.
I know this video came out because it was sponsored by the publishers of Pharaoh, but please consider making a video about the life of the ancient greeks, with a focus on the commoners (housing, chores, professions, etc). A lot of mainstream outlets for ancient history, like school books, only give a barebones insight, for example they always show what a greek rich house looked like but never what the poorer folks or even just the merchants lived like. I've always wondered if the greeks ever had clusters of apartments stacked over one another, similar to the roman insulae, but no insight is ever given on that.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
I strongly doubt the Ancient Greeks had anything resembling pre-modern Roman apartment buildings. This is mostly because they were a lot fewer than the Romans and therefore had no need to bundle up in that manner to save space - especially in an agricultural society where every bit of arable land was put to good use (Greece is mountainous and therefore not accommodating to large-scale farming), therefore encouraging traditional farmsteads. On the other hand, the Minoan palace complex at Knossos (dating to before 1200BC, so at least 400 years before the Greeks as we know them) had several layers of apartment-like stories with various living quarters and offices. That is the closest thing to an insulae that I am aware of.
Amazing work!
I really love this video. I hope to see more of the lives of common ancient peoples.
Thank you for the video it was interesting as always
Still got the old CD rom for pharaoh good stuff
This is great. You said commenting helps so I hope this one does. Cheers
Fantastic video keep it up you're doing amazing job
The only channel I’ve ever hit the bell 👍
