      ​@VedoMikeSulli ...... the size is symbolic. The pharaohs are shown larger than usual to make him the center of attention, like we do in billboards. I really hope you were joking because, ... you're taking the wall drawings exactly literally? Found the problem. It's so very clearly art, symbolism and advertising, as it were. The pharaohs were everything, above everyone else. I saw a video about Cyrus the Great amd how his wall art was different. He had other people close to his size. He was more humble and wasn't overbearing like pharaohs were. All kinds of these wall paintings and stories in them were exaggerated, like egomaniac leaders often do. The size is symbolic.

She tells the history of Egypt in so beautiful story telling way, that everybody becomes interested, and easily understands a great deal of the Egypt's ancient history. She is so engaged and talks with such great passion, I am grateful, and wish more and more people watch her videos.

Knowledge is power, and that is why I watch these documentaries. Just because i watch a video or comment on it dose not mean I am claiming to be a direct bloodline to anyone.

      Leo Sim so you’ll know for future reference and not to be mean. For your sentence the word is spelled
      Fazed
      Is it fazed or phased?
      Specifically, “faze” means: “to disturb, disconcert, or daunt; caused to show discomposure”. ... From this, we can see why it should be “phased out” instead of “fazed out”, with “phase” referring to stages and thus “phased out” signally the end of some stage. So just remember: “fazed” more or less = “disturbed”Jun 15, 2010Fazed

    • @raed1276
      @raed1276 2 года назад +4

      @Zack Erskine correct! The Egyptians were all things in most things but they were less of the traditional West African and southern Sudan typical black Africans as people would call them..
      The Nubians to the South and Ethiopians to the southeast of Egypt were known to the Egyptians and at many points or their bitter rivals and enemies! Of course as the world goes all peoples of all times are a mix of all races and when traced back far enough we all come from the same two humans!
      That is factually true whether you believe in evolution or whether you believe in creationism you're still going to at least share that belief in two original humans somewhere near North Africa or the Middle East areas...
      Whether it be Adam and Eve or the genetic Eve as evolutionists call her but when these people existed and how they came about is where all the contention lies in the theories...
      I'd say Egyptians were closer to a mix between white Greeks Brown Mediterranean and dark brown Arabs and semites from the Semitic tribes...
      And remember the Semitic tribes include Hebrews or Jews and often cases, Aramaic tribes, and all Arab tribes. So it is impossible for Arabs to be anti-Semitic because they are semites and cannot be anti themselves while believing in themselves at the same time. They can though be anti-jewish or anti Hebrew which is kind of dumb to want to be something like that seeing as how the Jewish people are made up of millions of people all around the world with all different types of lives and experiences and beliefs and morals so it's almost akin to being racist but Jew is not a race it's a religion very touchy subject for some people it's always been very clear to me anyway good comment very true peace...

Mrs Nicholson was her name and she was scary when she needed to be but she was always patient with me and my dyslexia but she also gave me that push I needed to do it on my own. She taught me about Mary queen of Scots ( I’m from Scotland) and Mary Queen of Scots is something big in my life. I cannot explain it other than I feel like I was there? It touches my heart in a weird way I guess. But mrs Nicholson gave me my love for history. As well as some high school teachers ❤️

      @@callmeincarcerated2503 jup. Egyptology is a 'pseudo'science. They might have some things right coz of the French finding the Rosetta Stone and they can now translate the glyphs.... but most of it is utter garbage. Just take a look at the unfinished obelisk, you clearly see marks as if someone 'scooped' rock out of there, like it's softened first to remove it. Yet Egyptologists... pounding stones and coper chisels. The same goes for the marble statues where you can see drilling marks at the base and it's pretty clear that the glyphs are of inferior craftsmanship compared to the statue, like some later people started to claim these masterpieces as their own but lacked the sophistication and knowledge the original builders of the statues had. Also the 'unfinished pyramids' aren't unfinished, they just weren't pyramids, and in all of these we see some granite precise coffin that's always empty. Egyptologists say it's a sarcophagus for mummies despite there have never ever been found mummies inside the granite boxes. Personally I think it's more something of a practical use, to store food underground in a cold place to preserve it longer then the heat above. Or even used as houses, around the Mediterranean Sea we see all cultures at one point hid underground and in caves. So it might have something to do with that. I'm also of the believe that the pyramids weren't tombs and they weren't (all) constructed at the same time. It's far more likely that they build over older structures. Almost nobody knows that there is even a labyrinth of corridors going underneath the pyramids at Giza, leading to giant granite boxes and all of it doesn't look like you would do it for 'just a tomb'.

      I mean sure the old egyptians were pretty intresting, but it would be so much more intresting to understand who build all the high precision objects and imense machine structures like the great pyramids and also what was their precise use, when did the builder culture live, were they the ancestors of the old egyptians like their folklore says, why did this building culture develop such high technology, why didn´t they develop spaceflight or use large quantities of hydrocarbos(we know the did not because it would be very obvious even tens of thousand years later), were they connected or even the same civilaisaiton as those who build the high precision/basalt geopolymer structures in south america or south in asia and so on, way to many intresting questions.

In the 21st century there is a chance we might witness another one of these cases happen even though it is not an empire in this case.

      And as for your first point, the reason why such empires fall is because it's run by humans. We make "mistakes" (sometimes for selfish reasons and sometimes they really are mistakes.)

      What I find interesting is that empires are a bit like people, and they go through different stages of life. All of the once great powers - Egypt, Rome, Persia, the Greeks, etc. - are shadows of their former selves, like old people going quietly into that good night. The United States is a young teenager, full of energy and happy to wield their big stick at the moment, but way off in the future they'll become a mellow old Sam. Britain, who are now in late middle age, are the ones who spawned the United States, gave us the most spoken language in the world, all the most popular sports, and started the Industrial Revolution, which led to modern society, but now they're not the power they once were, and are off on the long road into history. It's fascinating really...

    I can recommend Mika Waltari's novel "Sinuhe the Egyptian" It is a book of some 600-700 pages about fictional character of Sinuhe. It tells his lifestory from childhood to old age. He became the personal doctor of Farao himself. Farao's family suffered from inbreed and they had epilepsia seisures and inbility to breed plus some mental issues. In those times new religion was released (so to speak) Suddenly there was only one God instead of dozens. Waltari published the book in 1945 after some 10 months of work. He did an enermous backround work and wrote day and night. Obviously a bipolar person he was. But still best novelist/writer Finland have ever produced. Väinö Linna is closely the 2nd, but it is a different story...

      Neanderthals, by actual DNA tabulation, were 99.84% identical to humans. Why the physical trait differences with such identicalness? Scientists say it was because of gene expression modifications for larger nasal passages and stoutness as a for instance. Bottom line? Neanderthals WERE human. Are fans of evolution taught by their mentors that gene expression differences imply DNA mutations? They do BUT the fact is they do not. Gene expression modulation is done chemically by already-existing biological system present in ALL life called the 'EPIGENOME' that is preloaded with its ability to pass adaptations for HUNDREDS of generations WITHOUT DNA mutations getting groomed by natural selection. This new elucidated ability was stated in 2014 by Dr. Skinner in a peer-reviewed paper. Evolutionists have hated the implications of this! Why? It fits the Intelligent Design signature while replacing the theorized Godless signature of on-the-fly evolution. The evolutionary theory is now missing its 'engine'. Evolution is not happening. It's a juggling act...a sleight of hand...all smoke and mirrors.
      Let me explained further...Intelligent Design proponents and evolutionists both agree that all aspects of gene expression and gene regulation mechanism are happening...both agree about the presence of the epigenome and its epigenetic capabilities, and about genome degeneration is a fact of life. Both sides can get a PhD in all of the above aspects and apply science and discovery without disadvantages to the ID proponents. The 'evolutionary theory' is ADDED by assertions, assumptions that their precepts are correct, as spin is added to these aspects. However, the presumptions of the precepts being correct were wrong. Epigenetic adaptations, without DNA mutations, was used as 'evidence' for evolving DNA mutations. This leaves mutations as being just mutations with no evolving progression coming from them. In fact, natural selection has selected epigenetic modifications, NOT mutations...thus giving it an intelligent design signature. This makes gene flow, sexual selection, and their frequency changes take on the ID signature too...not the evolution signature. Do mutations cause changes in the attributes of life? Yes but they are evolution-impertinent such as in 'speciation' due from loss of offspring capability. There is no evolutionary generation coming from degeneration. This leaves just one alternative. We are a creation, not a slow evolution. The Creator is Jesus Christ. Take His free gift of salvation purchased for you by His work on the cross and resurrection. You only have to believe and this free gift is yours starting right now, forever. The Darwin-pushers don't give a damn about you. Don't be their useful idiots anymore. Be a child of God with forever-life.

      @@martylawrence5532 Lol, yeah, okay. 31% of the world's population believes in Christianity, and about 10% of those believe in your version of Christianity. I'm pretty sure you have it right, since after 2000 years, your version has 3% of the world believing the same way. You can give me all this scientific mumbo jumbo, but you can't even perform simple logic.

You don't see 'ingredients of life' being put together and arranging themselves in any bio-sophistication but you believe they did. You have faith, not logic. Belief in God is logical. Belief in Jesus Christ has tons of evidence to support it.
