I've been fascinated with Ancient Egypt history ever since I was a kid. I started looking for Egyptology documentaries since I'm now on summer break and I've been binge watching National Geographic bits for a few days now. I love seeing all these monumental discoveries of recent years! This particular episode amazes me due to all archaeologists being so passionate and devoted to their respective sites and discoveries. I love seeing people passionate about their jobs, but these archaeologists seem to act as if it is a natural extension of their being. As one of them said, it's not a job, it's discovering mankind's history. So inspiring!
You are not brother by those super annoying vendors around all temples? It's such a turned off for me when I traveled all over Egypt for 30 days in September 2021. Once I traveled to the Sinai peninsula, it was completely different, like a different country! Shops actually let tourists browse without pushing sales.
Hatshepsut was a great visionary ❤.Determined to have her right rose to be a great Pharaoh Queen & architect who even overshadowed the Egyptian kings of her time ! Thanks for the video & the team of excavators ! ❤
Not entirely. Hatshepsut belonged to the 18th dynasty, one of the most powerful and important lineages in Egyptian history. All the pharoahs in the dynasty (8 all told), made major contributions to the restoration of Egyptian power and prestige in the ancient world. Paradoxically, their very successes planted the seeds of Egypt's decline towards the end of the dynasty due to depletion of economic resources caused by the massive building and military projects undertaken during the period approx. 1550-1292 BC, as well as political and religious upheavals. This led to the 19th dynasty, which included Ramesses the Great. Apologies for all this detail - but i wanted to explore the context of Hatshepsut's reign and this is a summary of what i gleaned.
Restoring these buildings deserves mad respect! I can't imagine reverse engineering something built thousands of years ago! So nifty to see them put back together!
I feel such great compassion for those who are forced against their will to watch content that they hate, and aren't allowed to skip a video or close youtube.
Very interesting video, we filmed in Hatshepsut & Valley of the Kings in Egypt 2 years ago and it was an unforgettable experience! Full of history and wonderful architecture! I advice to visit Luxor between December to February, it is very hot in summer.
Its unfortunate this was produced in the style of "Gold Rush" with manufactured drama and filler when so much more information could have been presented.
This is NatGeo LIVE, which is very different from the original NatGeo. More like cuts from the original program, with fluff fillers added to extend view time.
Maybe it inspired a few hundred folks to research a bit more and maybe, maaaaybe just one is super rich and will fund more research 🤷🏼♀️ A preacher who is dull and full of faith will have less followers than one who is charismatic regardless if they lack any faith at all. This is entertainment, not a uni lecture
It's obvious that the Sphinx originally had a larger head, to match the rest . The Pharaoh headpiece is the cut down version, possibly after damage or perhaps after a enemy takeover
hah! that's actually quite common. it was common practice for pharaoh's families to intermarry and have children and such. it was a way to try and prevent any threat's to the throne.
That small cryosphinx could be a more interesting item than they know. One sculptor used to fill a tub with milk and remove a little at a time to use it as a model for getting the bigger statue of David or something like that right.
@@curtisevans7 while weaving between the exposed remains, statues and artefacts you can select some ancient Egyptian music on your headphones and on your way out the museum, treat yourself a kebab to enhance the "experience" in stead of flying to Egypt and have a double cheese burger (no bacon) in Cairo's MacDo...
The melodramatic presentation is way overboard and almost ruins the fascinating information being presented. I wonder who are they trying to cater to....
All the mummies are in museums around the world with temperatures control. The closest I came across a mummies was at the Vatican museum, it was just scary 😨
The Queen Who Became a King. Is so important, as she empowers women still to this day. Not to be seen as equal to men, but superior. In many ways, we know this is true. The real value comes, from not competing with men but in the union of the two, and humanity exists for this reason. Both are equally powerful beings and gender inequality, still remains a problem today. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
The more documentaries I see, the more I notice that Nat geo docos really are declining in quality. When you feature joke American Egyptologists literally getting about in costumes you know it’s bad.
31:36 / 44:24 Hatshepsut: The Pharaoh Queen who challenged a male system and fought for her place among rulers. She then erected a massive obelisk to cement her legacy lol...Obivously telling her naysayers "mine is bigger" 💀💀💀
You guys have Hatshepsut all wrong (as usual). She lived before the Patriarchy, in a Theocracy. If she was deemed to have a divine mandate by the powerful priesthood, her anatomy was irrelevant. 32:23 so if Hatshepsut was not fixated on her gender, why are you?
guys have recently been interested in world history and wanted to learn more about it. so started with indus civilization and learned that egypt and massopotiam civilizations existed at the same time and would love to start with egypt civilisation hisotry but dont know where to start from like who was the first king and did it all start?? can anyone help me with this?
as discredited as wikipedia seems to be, i've found it's very helpful in getting a very general, "top view" summary of dense and detailed topics like this. general timeline and digestible version of intricate pieces of history such as this. Then peeking into the sources if there's something you'd like more info on, more often than not it's got a legitimate source cited.
Not to mention,she was Moses adoptive mother,Moses Born during her father's Reign (Thutmose1) in 1523B.CThe Israelites Built all the monuments during the 18th Dynasty!
I am not very familiar with the subject, but I do know why the inscribed name of a pharaoh -- always enclosed by an oval-like symbol representing magical protection for the pharaoh, to block evil spirits -- is known today as a cartouche. This term comes from the French word for a firearm cartridge. It is believed that the carved oval shapes with names inscribed reminded Napoleon's soldiers of their issued firearm cartridges. Cartridges during this period were commonly enclosed by paper. The arrangement consisted of a cylindrical tube made of rolled paper that contained the bullet, a measured amount of gunpowder, and sometimes a small percussion cap or primer. This design allowed for easy loading of firearms such as muskets and rifles. To load a firearm with a paper cartridge, the soldier would tear open the end of the cartridge containing the ball, pour the gunpowder down the barrel, then place the ball on top before ramming it all down with a ramrod.
China possesses a vast array of archaeological riches that rival those found in Egypt. The impact of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution policies was immense, and complicates the comparison, because it is an understatement to say that political ideologies can significantly influence the preservation and study of archaeological heritage. During Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution in China, which lasted from 1966 to 1976, there was a catastrophic amount of damage to cultural heritage and historical artifacts due to the indiscriminate campaign against the "Four Olds” -- old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. This period had a hideously barbaric impact on Chinese archaeology because many historical sites were damaged or destroyed, and valuable artifacts were lost. Although Egypt is renowned for its archaeological treasures, especially those related to ancient Egyptian civilization, it may not necessarily be the richest source of such treasures on the planet, even when the Chinese Cultural Revolution is taken into account.
but usually you can also just be a regular digger on sites, doing hard labor, but you still see everything first hand. like my brother once was on ancient roman grave site hired to dig up skeletons together with archeologists
The medu neter hieroglyph have never been deciphered. You can’t put sounds to pictures. If u think so,decipher this 😅😊😂😮. What sound do they make? What does it say?So when they are reading the hieroglyphs it’s made up

Been to Egypt and can confirm the places from Cairo to Abu Simbel are breathtaking and mind blowing! Thanks for the reminder in video

There were plenty of kids trying to sell. The history and experience allowed me to ignore the obvious. 😊
"do you realized what you just pulled in the sand?" and my smile grew wider. i just felt the excitement too !!!!
I took a tour there 17 years ago. It's a place that stays with you! Such an amazing trip!! And Hatshepsut was an amazing woman!

This brings back my onceea life time visit to all over Egypt in September 2021!
Why are you guys not uploading something about the Cleopatra tomb .... Till now we didn't get any updates 😭
dude literally
What cleopatra tomb???
Show us that Black Cleopatra
yeah seriously 😐 are there any updates on that project?
Wow thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always! ✨️
Idk, it was an old episode but they just replay it anyway, new episodes on egypt are rare☹️
SHE WAS A BADASS!!!

I❤️Egyptian history
Dr Colleen Darnell reminds me so very much of Lord Canarvon’s daughter Evelyn.
18:52 these 2 are too much 😂😂😂
Dr jones dr jones 😂😂😂
it's always so interesting to me that the British are so invested in digging up Egypt.
It's obvious that the Sphinx originally had a larger head, to match the rest . The Pharaoh headpiece is the cut down version, possibly after damage or perhaps after a enemy takeover
Yep. It wouldn't surprise me if it used to have the head of Anubis before it was retconned by the pharaoh.
This video deserves a million likes!
What I'd give to see Albert Lin walk into frame
"which her nephew, also her stepson"
I was like excuseeee moii🥴🫵

The egyptologists look like extras from The Mummy
What? You mean Egyptian? 😂😂😂
No, the egyptologists @@kasie680
They are so ridiculous.
Really looking forward to the next episode!
I wish there's a part 2 for this.
Too see part 2, fly to Egypt 😊 walk thru all the temples
Truly mesmerized Egypt
Best series ❤❤❤❤
I am really impressed by the temples and the sphinx ❤
egypt is my dream place to visit
If you want to avoid a heavy carbon footprint, visit your local museum.
Yeah but you wouldn’t get the experience of actually being in Egypt 😂 it’s not like they are Taylor swift flying her 2 private jets to grab dinner lol
@@curtisevans7 I don't care about Taylor. I'm 61 and haven't flown in more than 35 years.
@@curtisevans7 the only experience we should focus on is saving our souls because the rest is smoke and mirrors.

20:04 A FUN PAIR OF WHATTTTTTT?!?! 😳😳
Over dramatization, very little facts, much disappointment
Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted for thousands of years. There could be tens of thousands of tombs still unknown.
i love those time travellers!
they got style!
So awesome!
Just been there two weeks ago. Hot Day but impressiv 😮
Dr. Darnell is giving Phryne Fisher and I love it.
The melodramatic presentation is way overboard and almost ruins the fascinating information being presented. I wonder who are they trying to cater to....
I liked to visit Egypt ❤
She is the "Pharaoh's Daughter" who adopted "Moses" according to Exodus in the Bible ❤️🔥💯.
19:44 she looks like an ancient Egyptian goddess herself 😂😂😂😂
Very interesting
What a true warrior, the first to fight gender norms before it even became a hot button issue. I love this about her so much! Long live Hatshepsut
Why "nervous" music. Ugh.
Old content but worth a reviewing
Hatshepsut was known as a king. In my opinion she should be referred to as a king - as she donned the regalia of a king.

Time passes so fast. In 4000 years, if we don't destroy ourselves, they'll be excavating our remains and wondering about our lives.
Wait what? Iron filings in the sand from chisles? But wasn't this supposed to be the bronze age?

Aren't there any Egyptian Egyptiologists ?
Strange.
Crazy how far women's rights have fallen in Egypt. You'd think and hope it would have progressed since then instead of regressing.
Religion is counterproductive.
