Children in school often say that history is "boring". This woman takes her love of History to new heights, her emotion is contagious. I subscribed the very first time I saw this. Absolutely superb
I totally agree and I too subscribed.She is what every scholar wishes to aquire,the true respect,and attentiveness of her words.I admire her truely,her knowledge has inspired me very much.
I loved imagining Kha's love for his wife. He spent all his final years preparing himself to see her again. He did everything in his power to do exactly what he wished: spend a good afternoon basking under the sun with his beloved wife. That's beautiful. Sometimes I forget that before us, there were billions of people. They cried, laughed, loved, endured. They were humans before us.
One of my favourite examples of this thought experiment is from a journal of a Greek schoolboy 2000 years ago where he writes about wondering what people were like 2000 years before him
There’s a beautiful wedding ring from Ancient Rome inscribed with “I do not love you enough.” (One of Mary Beard’s docs on Rome shows it.) That one definitely gave me the same feels!
Joanne is a gift to the historical world. I'm sure the spirits of these ancient peoples are resting happily, knowing somebody with so much awe and respect is carrying their legacy into the 21st century. I've never seen anyone moved to tears like she was, it really does prove just how much she loves what she does.
I've watched Joanne's videos a dozen times. I put them on to fall asleep as well as to watch while I craft things or do housework. I love her voice and passion.
Fake 🤥 News 📰 Ancient Egypt was pure African people period I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people period the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people period I look online and noticed that the mummies were pure African people period not this Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin BS 100 💯 percent true facts 💯 truth
@@MikeScott-ez7iwuntrue. The ptolomys were Greek first off. Second off, do you know where Egypt is located? Lol. Yes North Africa but on the Mediterranean. Cleopatra was not black and Nubians were different than Egyptians. Fyi.
I can’t get enough of Dr. Fletcher’s videos. She is an amazing teacher. Her passion is undeniable and she brings ancient Egypt to life. I could watch her videos for hours. If I would of had teachers like her, I would of loved going to school! I wish she would do more videos. 🌻
Kha worked so hard all his life to make sure that his tomb doesn't get looted, but in the end, it was still looted in 1906 and even their bodies taken 😥. I love archeology and Egyptology but I think we should respect those people's beliefs and wishes
@Ellie5621 yeah good point I understand but still feels bad when they talk about finding their tomb as if they found treasures, we forget that they are people and we take their bodies and put them on display, maybe it's the less of two evils but still. I agree about things not being returned to Egypt, and they probably never will. I was really surprised to find the amount of artefacts that are in other countries. The Met in NY has 40 galleries just for Egyptian stuff
@Ellie5621 the old story of the west coming to the rescue is rather stale and has run it's time. Alleging robbers were going to get it so the west robbing the artefacts for 'safekeeping' defies all logic. For starters those artefacts were in Egypt and Africa for thousands of years and didn't just fall from the sky. For any loot to have value markets and value must exist. Guess who lacks any history and is ready to grab anything of historical significance or value? The west! Looted Artefacts in western museums must be returned to their people and places. Anyone should travel there to see them and the people should be able to see what their ancestors built!
@Ellie5621 Egyptians as if Egypt was sovereign and free. Egypt wasn't it was under the British colony. So issue of permits etc are rendered null and void. If the west is sincere it would have helped preserve the artefacts in Egypt and not in their capitals. Egypt is now able to preserve it's artefacts why are they still not returned? Why is the west still 'preserving' them?
I was there recently. Egypt is increasingly given over to Muslim extremism - many who believe these artifacts are satanic relics from a pagan society. If it wasn't for the tourism income, these would have been destroyed by now. Their preservation and "respect" is not guaranteed in present day Egypt.
@Ellie5621 Why would you want them returned to Egypt? To be stuffed into a museum, unaccessible to most of the world that can't afford to jump on a plane to Egypt in order to see your country's history in person? You realize that me and my children had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a very small sampling of King Tut's artifacts at the Chicago Natural History museum years ago because the pieces were touring our country at the time. We never, ever would've had such a historical, moving experience to see Egypt's treasures up close and personal if they were stuck in a building over in Egypt. Be proud enough of your country's heritage to let the whole world enjoy and learn from these artifacts, don't round them up and take them home like children throwing tantrums and taking their toys back so no one can enjoy them.
Love the story about the man who wanted to move into his beloved's house but was told to be on his way. She wasn't as impressed with him as he thought she's be. Some things never change. It's the sort of story we see every day in the 21st century and can relate to.
Thank You!!! Not many historians look to the people. Greeks, Kemet, Assyrians…the common lives. We’re forced to learn of the aristocracy, the monarchy, the rich. It’s frustrating.
You would also enjoy videos by Egyptologist John Romer, who also has a love and empathy for ordinary people. He is from an earlier generation, the videos were originally aired in the 80's but they are really interesting and the amount of detail and knowledge he has on the subject is impressive. Even shows what clues Howard Carter would look for when looking for tombs.
For me, Dr. Fletcher is the premiere amd unrivaled specialist on the Egyptian societies, it's people at their most human, and the ancients cultures and customs throughout each dynastic period. She's so very very passionate about her work amd it shows so well in her documentaries. I'm in awe of her knowledge and I'm a smarter man for having listened to her insights and vast comprehensive studies. She's fantastic. Absolutely unrivaled.
I just love Joan. I really do. She speaks of a time that, somewhere in the long halls of my memory, I can still remember. She speaks of it with such respect and a much deserved reverence. She entrances you with her words, shuttling you right back to a time I wish I was still apart of. I love Joan, tremendously, and I'm so grateful for this new video. ♥️
Could not agree more! If I would ever get the chance of meeting her I’d die peacefully the minute she leaves… She’s such a good narrator, she talks so passionate about the subject - to me she is like Sir David Attenborough but on ancient Egypt 😅❤️
I've learned more about Egypt from her, than anyone who've ever taught me! You're so right about her! She plants a love of history within, that's unshakable. We thank her for that!
Dr. Fletcher, this presentation was elucidating, immersive and amazing. Thank you for your devotion to ancient civilizations and you presentation of their everyday lives.
I'm crying with you... I'm shook, how amazing, stunning and special. I have no words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us this! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Just wow! This is such an informative and fascinating look at the lives of ordinary ancient Egyptians. The scene where Dr. Fletcher enters the tomb of Amenhotep III and begins to cry is priceless. I got teary eyed too. Fletcher’s videos about Ancient Egypt are the best of all that I’ve ever seen. Her knowledge plus her passion and love for these ancient people and their culture is palpable, and you can’t help but join in feeling her awe and wonder for them.
Egypt has been at the top of my bucket list since I was a small girl. I'll probably never get there but I so enjoyed the journey with you. Your excitement and wonder are contagious. I got emotional too. Thank you!!
I finally visited the Egyptian museum in Turin, Italy and saw Ka and Merit’s tomb contents! It was AMAZING. But, I really think they should put everything back.
I did Latin and Classical Studies at the same sixth form college as Professor Fletcher, I would imagine just a couple of years later (she was born in 1966 and I was born in 1969). I imagine she must have taken the same course. We had two great teachers (the dashingly charming Mr Nelson and the imposingly strict Mrs Gunsen), who had both been there for years. I am sure she is their greatest achievement and is probably living their dream.
It’s a beautiful story… hearing her and seeing these antiquities really brings it back to life to get a glimpse into these Egyptian lives is amazing how we have so much in common with the ancient Egyptian‘s from 3000 years ago I’m right down to the perfumes and eyeliners it’s just beautiful I’ve watched it like four times… Awesome
The ring found under Merit's death mask looks like it was sized for a man. That leads me to speculate that Merit died first, and Ka put his ring under her death mask just before she was entombed.
Most of your presentations I watch much more than once. They get better with the telling because of the passion you infuse. Watched Kha and Meryt's story twice now. Thanks is a bit of a weak word for everything you offer, but....Thank you.
Dear Dr. Fletcher - thank you so much for this absolutely amazing documentary - bringing to us the story of Kha and Merit. I can quite understand the emotions you felt looking at the stunning artwork in Amenhotep III tomb, simply breathtaking and knowing that Kha have probably planned its design.
I am moved by her passion for the subjects of this presentation. She makes this ancient couple come back to life. Shes made them real and relatable to us. Thank you
Dr. Fletcher , when I saw the artwork and colors on the tomb wall , and I enjoy drawing and painting , i gasped and got teary eyed myself .🙂 and would have been happy to have shared a box of tissue with you
I love everything about Joanne! From her energy and curiosity, style of story telling, the dedication to what she does to her gorgeous hair. I wish she´d be my friend
This is Fascinating. I Love the life it brings out in you Dr. I would truly enjoy talking and sharing the wonder of the Egyptians with you. I can tell this brings out the passion in you. Thank you for sharing your World and your Love. Long Live FREEDOM and AMERICA !!
It’s hard to fathom 3 and a half thousand years. That’s a long time. Just, wow. We must hold onto, preserve, and protect these treasures. The ancient Egyptians were so amazing because they recorded so much. They truly live on in the eternal afterlife.
I love how she acknowledges that the ancients and modern egyptians are one and the same. So knowledgeable so humble and graceful in the way she delivers the information to us. This is the first time I'm watching a documentary of hers and she's a joy to listen to.
I just love how emotional she gets or excited over a discovery!! ❤ Reminds me why I've always loved history !! Thank you !! Egypt is very lucky to have you to tell its story with such love and pride 🥰
I wish they would put date they recorded. I have seen this one before I remembered the comment abt mold on bread being used for wounds. Was a great show.
@@heenanyou i see that the only thing you have taken away from this fantastic documentary …. Is the fact that Professor Fletcher has red hair , great discovery on your part .
I don’t know how I hadn’t found this channel until now. I enjoyed every minute of this documentary and love Dr. Fletcher’s enthusiasm for Egypt. I’ve been a teensy bit obsessed with Ancient Egypt for decades now, so much so that I named my daughter Merit after reading Mika Waltari’s book “The Egyptian “. I was so happy to hear her name over and over again in this video. 💜
I absolutely love this lady. She's an Egyptian queen of history, in my opinion. That makeup kit is fascinating! I'd love to watch them apply their makeup back then.
I see you posted a video 3 weeks ago after 3 years Please keep posting 🙏 In these times we’re living in, it’s very refreshing being able to “restart” and go back to the beginning Thank you!
Fantastic presentation - all consuming . Such a beautiful voice , Her enthusiasm draws you in and reminds you just how beautiful it was to be there. Even made you want to ' walk like an Egyptian ! The Mamluke era is also intriguing.
"There was no grim reaper-- just this beautiful goddess wanting to embrace them in her warm arms." This is a glossy account of the Egyptian view of the divine judgement that awaited souls in the afterlife. The divine judgement was a dicey prospect to anticipate, considering the crocodile god "Ammit," who sat beside the scales of Ma'at, ready to devour the souls of those deemed unworthy.
Around 1:25: I don't understand why the two men discussing the CT scan of Merit made no mention at all of the severe distortion her skeleton clearly underwent. Her spinal column is way off to one side, her pelvis is tilted sideways, and her ribs seem to have become detached and are lying nearly vertically. And I'm no expert in reading CT scans, but I can see this (especially the spinal column), so why was there no mention of what must be either a violent cause of death, or possibly a postmortem injury by the embalmers?
She really said, "his bundle" ...😂... Loved this documentary, I watched it a few times absorbing every last morsel of Dr Fletchers entertaining Egyptian perspectives. I love love loved this, my favorite content like this is hard to find sometimes. A good doc is such a treat lol...❤ Thank you!
Love this story of khar & Meryt, their love story, the life of a supreme architect of the pharaohs and the life they carved out for themselves and afterlife was superb! Thanks you for sharing their journey, I’m speaking their names to eternity, may they live again ❤
Since watching this documentary, every day, if I remember of course, I try to say the names Kha and Merritt outloud. To give them power and life in the afterlife. Eveything about this video, is beautiful. I especially teared up when you showed the beautiful funerary beads on Merrit's mummy. :'( ... I hope they are together somewhere...

"There was no grim reaper-- just this beautiful goddess wanting to embrace them in her warm arms." This is a glossy account of the Egyptian view of the divine judgement that awaited souls in the afterlife. The divine judgement was a dicey prospect to anticipate, considering the crocodile god "Ammit," who sat beside the scales of Ma'at, ready to devour the souls of those deemed unworthy.
very interesting, deserves more views for sure.
This was fabulous ❤
Around 1:25: I don't understand why the two men discussing the CT scan of Merit made no mention at all of the severe distortion her skeleton clearly underwent. Her spinal column is way off to one side, her pelvis is tilted sideways, and her ribs seem to have become detached and are lying nearly vertically. And I'm no expert in reading CT scans, but I can see this (especially the spinal column), so why was there no mention of what must be either a violent cause of death, or possibly a postmortem injury by the embalmers?
Always love anything presented by Dr. Fletcher. But, personally, I also love how she always wears all black out in that desert sun 😝.
Hey, that and the umbrella help her skin becoming as red as her hair. Sucks being a redhead in Egypt. Black also hides sweat best!
@@cindyleehaddock3551 That purple-red clown hair can't be natural. I find it detracts from an otherwise good presentation.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe she went in the early morning
@Toronto My in-laws have the same hair, it's very much natural.
@@heenanyou Just go somewhere else if you feel the need to criticize someone’s appearance. Didn’t your mother teach you better?
Wonderful documentary! Dr. Fletcher is a gem!
Best documentary I’ve ever seen.
It makes sense that the ancient Egyptians revered cats so much since grain was so vital to them. (rodent control)
She's is my favorite!!! 👑❤️❤️❤️
Great video. I never had such an all inclusive walk through rituals and daily life of ancient Egyptians. Absolutely amazing.
Odyssey sends me. 😎👍
Nice. Subbed.
A wonderful presentation! Thank you for sharing.
She really said, "his bundle" ...😂... Loved this documentary, I watched it a few times absorbing every last morsel of Dr Fletchers entertaining Egyptian perspectives. I love love loved this, my favorite content like this is hard to find sometimes. A good doc is such a treat lol...❤ Thank you!
Outstanding!
Excellent 👍😍🤩Love Egypt, I'm fascinated by it
Love this story of khar & Meryt, their love story, the life of a supreme architect of the pharaohs and the life they carved out for themselves and afterlife was superb! Thanks you for sharing their journey, I’m speaking their names to eternity, may they live again ❤
What an amazing job this documentary is! Thank you so much!
Absolutely wonderful examination of an amazing culture.
🌎🕊
Loved this.
I love how she shows her passion and respect for these ancient people of long ago..
Since watching this documentary, every day, if I remember of course, I try to say the names Kha and Merritt outloud. To give them power and life in the afterlife. Eveything about this video, is beautiful. I especially teared up when you showed the beautiful funerary beads on Merrit's mummy. :'( ... I hope they are together somewhere...
