@@WelcomeToDERPLAND Totally agree. I forget if it was on this channel or maybe epic history tv, but anytime i hear these guys try and make a pop culture reference/joke... just no.
Give whoever wrote this script a raise. I love the perspective. I love how you criticize the problematic modern view of the ancient Egyptians. Simply a brilliant video.
@@Darius-_my thoughts exactly, what is this guy talking about. Did he even watch this video? The video pretty consistently conveys the current contemporary view of the New Kingdom.
There's a reason Tutankhamun's tomb was able to remain undisturbed for over 3000 years. This was because during the reign of Horemheb, a lot of angry priests and nobles who were around during Akhenaten's reign did everything in their power to erase his hated legacy. Not only did they ransack his tomb and deface his statues, but also had any mention of him erased from the records. As a result, all trace of Akhenaten's life and history was expunged from the records, and this extended to his family, which included his son Tutankhamun. Fortunately for Tutankhamun, although some of the contents of his tomb had been stolen by early grave-robbers, much of the treasure he was buried with remained intact. Due to all record of him being destroyed, nobody would try to look for his tomb. Thus leaving him to rest peacefully in the afterlife for the next three millennium, that was until his tomb was discovered in 1922.
And boy, was he in for a rude awakening. They took his stuff and made him a tourist attraction. Today his body is on full display at the site and there's even been talk of sending him to a museum, where the rest of his stuff was already sent.
One huge reason was also his successor, Ay. Tutankhamun's tomb is also one of the smaller tombs a pharaoh was laid in. That's because he was laid to rest in a tomb that wasn't meant for a pharaoh. Ay was an advisor to the throne and related to the recent rulers. Some tombs in the valley belonged to important officials and relatives to the kings like Ay was. But, when he took over, Ay put Tutankhamun into the tomb meant for himself, while he arranged to be buried into the pharaoh's tomb. Basically, grave robbers only tried so hard to crack into Tut's tomb because they thought it was only some official, not a Pharaoh
Another thing many don't realize is another big reason his tomb was able to be undisturbed for over 3000 years is their will always be flooding in the Valley of the kings which always brought a lot of huge rocks which buried the entrance to his steps leading down to his tomb door and it pretty much buried his entire tomb area. Which also explains why a lot Pharaoh's arts in many tombs in the Valley are wiped off the walls. Pharaoh Tutankhamun's original burial place was suppose to be in the Tomb Pharaoh Ay (his successor) was buried in.
@@DanCooper404 Within a few years of Tutankhamun's burial, his tomb was robbed twice. After the first robbery, officials responsible for its security repaired and repacked some of the damaged goods before filling the outer corridor with chips of limestone, along with objects dropped by the thieves, to deter future thefts. Nevertheless, a second set of robbers burrowed through the corridor fill. This robbery too was detected, and after a second hasty restoration the tomb was once again sealed until Howard Carter found the tomb in 1922.
Wow, the animations for this video reach a new height in this channel´s history! All the work really adds to the immersive experience, fantastic you guys :-)
I've Loved ancient Egypt for so long and I watch so many videos on it, but there is such a long time span of history that it's always amazing when there's something new that I didn't know before like this.
This series of videos on Egypt are quite well done. I wonder if there could be a video on the entire history of the Ptolemaic Kingdom to cap off this series?
@@KingsandGenerals totally agree by the way, you guys should do a history of Azerbaijan as well very fascinating place, and it’s history under both Persian than Russian domination until its independence after the Soviet dissolution
Don't preorder TW:Pharao. If you absolutely think you must have it, wait for the release and read the user reviews first. The studio making these has been engaging in predatory marketing schemes and the release of broken and unfinished games lately, while the Total War community expects this game to be as boring as Thrones of Britannia or Troy. Thanks for the video though, I hope we get an extended series on Egypt from start until the conquest by Arabs someday.
im a historical total war fan been playing them for 20 years and i didnt play troy so it wont bother me that its a regurgitated troy. total war at its base is about army settling disputes on the field of battle. not thru magic, items, and 1 man doom stacks but steel and shield or in this case bronze and shield
I don't know how long have I been waiting for this. But this is worth the wait! Thank you, Kings and Generals, I am always a fan of Ancient Egypt! After all, this is what brought me into learning about history.
Definitely my favorite era in Ancient Egypt, you have everything that the old world can throw at you hitting Egypt within a few centuries. Invasions, famine, the collapse of the Bronze Age, female pharaohs and an artistic renaissance that also saw Minoan artists decorating temples.
Great Video Kings & Generals. I love that you are releasing these informative broad historical overview videos like this one on the Egyptian New Kingdom.
as someone who plays total war a lot, this video is the perfect intro for someone who would want to play Total War Pharaoh. there is nothing more fun than playing total war while knowing some of the historical facts of the era you're playing in.
Kemet literally means "Black Land" ("Kem" meaning black in ancient Egyptian). The name referred to how the soil would appear with the flooding of the Nile, which was great for farming, as well as the fact that dark soil is some of the best soil for farming. So Kemet was essentially the strip of cultivated area along the Nile valley, the place where the Ancient Egyptian civilization prospered for over three thousand years.
Black: the color of life, fertility, and crop-bearing soil. Red: the color of the dry, deadly desert. The source of mineral wealth, but harsh and dangerous.
@@kgkg4118wouldn’t make sense, fertile soil is black, Egypt is known for its fertile soil, hence the name. Plus Egyptians weren’t black, Nubians were. Hence why your “conversation” isn’t being told academically.
@@Comrade_Marius so Egyptians weren't black but Nubians were? That makes sense to you? Can you name any two countries on this planet that border each other where the *native* people are totally different races? Where did the Egyptians originate? According to them it was the foothills of the "Mountains of the moon" in sub-Saharan Africa. At what point after moving North along the Nile did they become "non-black"? Granted later dynasties of Egyptians were mixed with Western Asians (and later Southern Europeans) who came to their land, so they may have been lighter than their cousins to the South in later dynasties but they weren't a completely different race, in fact I would argue there was no people closer to Egyptians than Nubians both culturally and historically
Kings and Generals. Any words of praise that i can offer would be totally inadequate to express how great your documentaries like this and many others obviously are. What else can I possibly say other than please keep them coming. And THANk you all so much!!!!
The Egyptians fought Cambyses, but the army of Cambyses was a large army. There was no opportunity to confront the army of Gerar except by deception, as the army of Cambyses was caught in an ambush, where a rumor was spread by the monks in the temples of Siwa to provoke Cambyses to force him to enter the desert and fall into the ambush, as all the water wells were poisoned. Cambyses' army began to perish from thirst, heat, and the cold desert due to thirst, and then the attacks of battalions of the Egyptian army began, battalions attacking day and night and disappearing while Cambyses' army felt thirst and fear in the barren desert until Cambyses' army was completely eliminated. Then he decided to return to his country, and along the way he was attacked. By the Egyptians without mercy or relentlessness until he reached the Levant and was also attacked in the Levant
Your illustrations are amazing, you do a particularly good job with ancient civilization videos, I feel very immersed in something that happened so long ago
This is history turned into a perfected artform. Stunning work that I never think you will beat, only for you to do so again and again. You really are the masters of your craft and you should be proud ❤
I love this channel! I look forward to every new episode. As a fellow lover of history, I throughly enjoy how this is not only presented by the amount of accurate data. Great job! ❤
Thank you for this video. During the New Kingdom the language itself changed considerably. Middle Egyptian became looked upon as the classical language. There were some differences between Old Kingdom Egyptian and Middle Kingdom but these were trivial compared to those with Late Egyptian. Late Egyptian gave rise to Coptic but thats a story for another day. Please keep up the amazing work
Punt is known to be modern day Somalia. What made Punt a valuable trading partner was how far away it was. No other powers near Egypt new of its existence or traded with it. This allowed Egypt to have exclusive access to its products. When the Greeks and Romans took Egypt, the Egyptians made the same sea journey every July or Thoth to Punt/Somalia.
No, the species of baboon associated with punt are most known for Eritrea and Djibouti, as stated in the video. If punt was in somalia, it was due to overlap in western somalia.
I absolutely loved this video. These kinds of videos are the reason why I watch this channel. Do you plan on making a video on the founding of Egypt that goes into its unification as well as the Pyramids and their purpose in the Old Kingdom? I would also be curious to see something on the Medjay Nubian mercenaries that were hired as a mercenary/police force and were prominent in the Old and Middle Kingdoms as well as the introduction of the chariot and horses to Egypt right after the Middle Kingdom.
Beautiful presentation of ancient Egypt. I'll try total war Pharaoh, but as usually, need to wait, because the complete feature come around months after first release
Thutmoses III is the most underrated ancient Egyptian king in history , he was described by many modern historians as the napoleon of ancient Egypt and some described him as Alexander the Great of ancient Egypt, he led his army in 17 consecutive victorious campaigns
Yet another 10/10 video, as an Egyptian history nerd(I am Egyptian too) I appreciate that you mentioned the orientalist discontinuity theory and did not fall into the lazy orientalist arguments of "modern Egyptians being X but not native Egyptian"

Excellent. Many thanks for this description of one of the most fascinating epochs of one of the most fascinating ancient empires. One tiny correction: At 8:42 , Amenhotep IV Akhenaten's new city should be "Akhetaten". That is, Akhenaten built Akhetaten, thereby generating confusion for more than 3,000 years.
I like how even the promotional video for pharaoh total war has "Mycaenean Greece" labelled on the map as a significant faction of the time period, contemporary with the Hittites and Egyptians, yet the game itself doesn't include any of Greece, any part of Mesopotamia or even all of Asia Minor itself. what a truly half baked effort from CA going for a full price, sad to see how far they've fallen. great video though, as always! can't begrudge the channel for taking some promotional revenue even if the product being promoted is sub par.
8:25 yeah this was so in the early stage of atenism, the later stage after the moving to Amarna was monotheistic since there are no refeneces to other deities, even heliopolitan symbols are schrached out, and the hymns to Aten have explicit monotheistic phrases.... atenism has gone through many phases and calling it merely monolatrous is an oversimplification... besides, even Amun-Re's cult during the Ramsenides was not completely polytheistic
Speaking of Egypt, I wonder if you could make a video about Muhammad Ali Pasha the ottoman defacto ruler of Egypt and his reforms and campaigns, he's often called "the founder of modern Egypt"
