    From vikings carving "Halfdan was here" in the Hagia Sophia to the men of Pompeii bragging about their sexual conquests in wall carvings to artwork of mice and dogs working against cats, humans are a funny bunch.

    Thank you Doctors Darnell. Colleen and John, I am over the Moon to experience this. I have seen you on NatGeo and in another channel’s RUclips video reviewing the Mummy movie from the 1990s and I said then how I thought you should have your own channel and here it is.
    Although I can’t speak intelligently in any academic sense about Ancient Egypt, it has been a love I have had since childhood. This was a great video, humanizing ancient Egyptians in a way seldom attempted in documentaries.
    If I may, I would love to see you go further along that road. I would like to discover if there is evidence from which conclusions can be drawn about what a typical relationship between a Man and Woman during this age would have been like and whether or not any correlation can be made with relationships throughout the ages. I would love to see videos on your vintage style - love your house with it’s style, library, carvings, rugs and vintage furniture. It really paints the picture that you are both really living your passion. Your enthusiasm is great to behold.
    I would love a video where you go over the many different theories on how the Pyramids were built, the construction of the Sphinx and it’s place in the history of Ancient Egypt, as well as the construction of the many temples, obelisks and palaces. Which theories do you think stand up and, based on your experience and study, are most likely to be based on actual history.
    I am looking forward to your future videos like no other channel. I liked and subscribed before I even played the video and will share it with as many people as I can. Fun, educational, with some vintage style mixed in - it’s like a channel created just for me, and I’m sure many others will feel the same way. You’re stuck with us now.
    Looking forward to your next.

I ended up with a bf throughout school, 5 yrs., older than I. Not in the back seat. Funny though. Since then I've never had a pet monkey, although I have had numerous lovely cats.

Congratulations my friends, thrilled for you to finally have the time (sadly) to linger beyond being my favorite IG couple, vintage couple and Egyptologists.

    Awesome video! I am so excited about your new channel. I love your 1920's style. It is my favorite era and you guys are stunning. I am also an Egyptology buff. So your channel was eagerly subscribed to and liked.
