      School usually covers certain topics broadly, or you have a specialized class based on a topic like cults that cover mostly events and general dynamic of a society. Classes usually don't get specific into the bulk of material culture. There is a difference between researching why Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, versus what did the Egyptian aristocrats wear for fashion, and how to recreate it.

    The comment about the Egyptians being fat with the diabetes... Reminds me of the Roman gladiator diet. They ate mostly barley and beans/lentils. Some people suggested it is because they are poor and slaves, but even famous freed and rich gladiators still ate this. After scientists looked at it, the food went straight to the chest fat. The gladiators had barreled "dad bod" chests with layers of fat. This gave them some protection against slashing attacks since it would provide some protection to the muscle underneath.
    So... carbs and having a dad bod could save your ass in the arena.

    • @ArmouredProductions
      @ArmouredProductions 3 года назад +30

      And this was because Gladiator fights more often than not, were not battles to the death. Really it was more of a fight till first blood kind of thing, so the body type makes sense. Because getting slashed across the belly to shed some blood for the crowd is safer with a big ol layer of fat.

If you're familiar with modern African beer, there's enough similarities for it not to be so shocking. But surprisingly beer was a large part of working class Egyptians diet, being served alongside this bread for lunch. The fermentation process hydrolyzed the grain into B vitamins and folic acid, which were otherwise difficult to obtain in their meat poor diet.

    I love this channel because I love all kinds of history, but especially ancient Egyptian history. I also love food. I especially like Max Miller,s personality and style of presentation. It’s both entertaining and informative - really fun to watch. Please do more videos on ancient Egyptian food I’ve always been curious about it. Thanks😊

    Back when I was studying archeology I saw an interesting piece of ancient Egyptian graffiti that was found in a cave where workers who were hired to perform some major constructions would hang out.
    Among the images found, there were depictions of bread being fermented in water to make beer. Apparently the construction workers would take part of their daily ration and make more beer by sticking it pots if water and leaving them to ferment into alcohol.
    But these images are overshadowed by some some very rude and (at the time pornographic) depictions of Queen Hatshepsut, the person who ordered the construction, and her male construction overseer.
    See Queen Hatshepsut was actually made Pharoah, a role typically reserved for royal men, until her son took the throne. The images and comments left depict her as basically "The woman who wanted to be a man"...
    She was responsible for a lot of major construction projects, but she was almost erased by her son who wanted to give the impression his royal line from his father and grandfather was not interrupted, especially since it is believed that Queen Hatshepsut herself was not of royal blood, but had come from a very wealthy commoner family. So it just would not do to have both a female and a commoner as Pharaoh.

      I heard about that bit of graffiti in an audiobook about ancient Egypt, and it mentioned that this foreman had his own tomb in her tomb complex, which may be evidence that he was her lover. That's so cool that you actually saw it!

    Another flawless episode! This one touches a peculiar chord. I have long been interested in ancient Egypt. 20-odd years ago I even attended classes in order to learn how to read and translate Middle Egyptian. I was very much enjoying it and getting good enough, but had to drop it due to my main duties (I was completing my degree in Astronomy, a wholly other stuff). I still tell myself that one day I'll try again, but my routine keeps delaying me. Thanks for this lovely and informative trip to that distant world - I'd definitely like to see more. Every choice, though, is always fine.

      Some foods that are still commonly eaten in Egypt today which go back to ancient times:
      Mashed fava beans AKA ful medammes (فول مدمس)
      Jute leaf stew AKA molokhia (ملوخية)
      Egyptian flatbread AKA ‘eish baladi (عيش بلدي)
      Salted mullet fish AKA feseekh (فسيخ) - this one is particularly eaten on the Egyptian spring holiday Sham Ennaseem which goes back to the ancient Egyptian festival of Shemu. Also make sure you only get this one from a reputable restaurant because, like Ceviche, the fish is not actually cooked but instead is cured using a generous amount of salt.
