You guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Do one about The Greatest Emperor of India. Ashoka the Great!
He had the richest, most powerful, largest manpower, biggest military of his time.
He had a bloodthirsty Era wanting to be the Ruler of the world (chhatravarti), he had nearly a million soldiers. The Roman empire at its peak had 450,000 soldiers.
Ashoka the Great born as an illegitimate prince was not favoured by his father (emperor)and sent to an impossible task under the influence of the empress, with little support, yet he won, he waged civil war in a unfavorable state where minister supported his brothers but he won, a outstanding General who could be compared to Alexander the Great, He never lost a battle!
Yet at the battle of Kalinga, he changed his heart and became a benovelant and kind ruler, once called Ashoka the terrible became Ashoka the Great,
A genius at politics comparable to Augustus Ceasar, A military commander comparable to Alexander the Great and much more,
"Even among Emperors, Ashoka the Great shines the Brightest"
One of my favorite pharaohs along with his father Amenhotep III. Thanks for the video!
It's always a pleasure to watch a new documentary on your channel!
He was a great man not fully honored
Ha! I was _just_ thinking about suggesting Ahkenaten a little bit ago, after just watching the King Tut video! 😅 I was gonna leave a comment there. Don't have to do that now, I guess!
Cool beans.. you guys are the best!
I was King Tut too. There's only one Amun in this world. I'm the only begotten son of the most high. Psalms 84:11 The sun is our God and our shield.
Gazza, dominates my mind @ this moment - how can people be so crazy & cruel to others - humanity? Is nothing more than madness 😢
I was hoping you'd cover Akhenaten after seeing your Tutankhamun documentary! My mother is a massive egyptology nerd and actually named me after one of his daughters. Which one, I'll keep to myself, but there it is! Loving the videos, looking forward to more.
I have the feeling she named you Meritaten. But I'm not fishing for an answer, I respect your wishes.
Wasn't Meritaten Ankhnatens 12 y.o. daughter that died in childbirth after being ceremonially impregnated?
Love how he looks in the thumbnail.
Looking like he is really the father of Tut-Ankh-Amun.
Beautiful ❤
Handsome ( no homo)
Akhenaten was not the father of Tut-Ankh-Amun and would roll over in his grave and get out and curse you for saying he was
He was possibly the father of Tut-Ankh-Aten, however

@@cejann3926 Tutankhaten is the same as Tutankhamun...
He was ahead of his time.
Akhenaten "married" his 12 year old daughter and she died in childbirth.
If that's what you mean by "ahead of his time"
He was ahead of his time by circumstance’s, the priest had nearly become kings themselves from the number of temples and number of priests which served them wealth rivaling the pharaoh. He did not out of genius but out of fear and greed. That being said he was unique in favorable ways to future generations in his art revolution depicting statues and carvings of pharaohs in a more human like manner kinda of similar to what Greeks would do centuries later

Your egypt videos are awesome guys! Love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The wrath of Horemheb.
This is always a pleasure to watch your documentaries.
I just recently found out he was tut's father & Nefertiti's husband, truly fascinating!! Great video 👍!!
Really hoping you going to cover this guy as I've long been fascinated by him. Thanks
Many thanks , guys. Another good one.
It's always Amazing to watch a new documentary of your channel! ❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite TH-cam channel. ❤❤❤
I doubt if he was insane.
More likely a visionary.
King Ahkenaten was fed up with the Amun-Ra priest's class taking funds from the Kings wallet. Too bad they killed him in my opinion.
So well done!
Ahkenaton was one of the most fascinating REAL figures from the ancient world.
Why is there no speculation here that Akhenaten was the victim of poisoning by the disenfranchised priests whose gods he banned? The efforts after his death to erase his images and memory in general are evidence of the dislike of him by court officials. Clearly assassination should be considered as likely.
It's possible, but speculative.
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518 considering the zeal in erasing Akhenaten’s image and overturning his religious reforms, it’s more than possible it’s probable.
@@carlharmeling512 No it's not probable, as there is no evidence to it. Egyptians were also erasing traces of Nubian Pharaohs from 25th dynasty, but we know that both last rulers - Taharqa and Tantamani - lived to old age in Nubia after they lost Egypt.
They mention all of that and some more in the episode The Mummy's Curse from In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy.
@@SRP3572 Thanks for that, I’ll check it out.
It is so nice to hear a real man who are reading this text, I do not think that you are a bot, I love that.👍👍
All our narrators live and breath.😎
@PeopleProfiles but do they breathe?
p.s. - if you want a "Real Voice" head in over to "Ancient Architects" which just so happens to be a serious Egyptology TH-camr as well
@@PeopleProfilesyou can tell and they are great!!! ❤❤❤
I think he was a visionary! I love everything Egyptian! My bedroom is full of Egyptian things. I love the 1950s movie The Egyptian. Thank you for the video. 😊
Excellent video
Always fascinating.
Excellent Episode 👍
Akhenaten was born in 1368 B.C. to King Amenhotep III and Queen Taia at the Malkata Palace near Wast (Greek Thebes, Arabic Karnak and Luxor). He was raised there in his youth. He was very close to his mother, and felt intimidated by his father.
Great video
Can't wait to watch!
Great likeness to his mummy in the thumbnail!
Enjoyed this
Thank You
This One Makes More Sense
I love when new videos drop 🎉
A good movie made in the 50s about Akhenaten - 'The Egyptian' 1954.
Just watched it on TH-cam! Can really recommend!
I guess he knew many in the future many religions would worship one god.
Brilliant video as always cheers
Maybe Ahkenaten was the L Ron Hubbard of his time.
you mean he was a crook like Ron Hubbard
He was born into a great Civilization 3391 years ago!!!! Think about time!! Mind boggling.
To the Egyptians of the 18th Dynasty the Pyramids were incredibly ancient.
I remember finding out about this man from a historical fiction novel about Nefertiti
Awesome
There is the possibility that some of his followers fled Egypt to the Levant with the destruction of Amarna. The story of this exodus was then incorporated in to the creation myth of the old testament along with the beginnings of a monotheistic belief system
great research❤.
just a quick comment - why is it that the pronunciation of local names sounds British
What is the name of the narrator? I quite enjoyed him.
Tut’s mother is thought to be The Young Lady.
As a highly supersticious people, would the Egyptians have seen the plauge and deaths of thousands as a bad omen and therefore blamed the new religious reform? Would the only way to restore balance and order be to restore the old religous ways and scrub the nation clean of a practice that angered the Gods?
Awesome hey I think doing one on Evel Knievel would be interesting a lot of people probably never heard of him though. idk...
The OG Martin Luther
What’s interesting about this Pharos is was he deformed , did he have an illness ? Or was this how he wanted to be shown in his new religion ? No one will know until his mummy is identified
@vanglorious2708
Wi Wazū Samurizzlez 'n' Shirakawa!... ma Nīkka-Razū!!.... Nani?!
i think or believe that akhenaton was the younger brother of the firstborn slayed in egypt.his father amenhotep was as josephus says manetho says the pharoh of the exodus. akhenaton as a young ten year old would have been profoundly affected by this and seen that the egyptian gods were powerless and as he gained power so he could bring his religious revolution shutting the temples to the old gods and not causing a revcolt of the people and now out of work priests .don't forget the army was behind him to .So in the beginning he had a lot of support for his ideas a nation that was still in shock from the plagues
Achenaton or Amenhotep,or Amen Ofis.was.the first farao who had tried to introduce for the.first time the monoteism!!
Everyone knows you switched too watching the shorter ancient Egypt videos because your phone battery was taking a shit
Why always "Heretic" and "Fanatical"??
He was a visionary, and you can tell by his mona-lisa smirk that he had ears that see and eyes that hear, an original synesthesier.
I hate break to you people Aten was Egyptian God's way before. I believe this Pharaoh just pick him for political reasons to take power from the Priests. He isolate himself and ignore his allies. One was begging for help and he told him stop bothering him 😲
Love the video can you do Klara Hilter ❤
At 40;00 you say Akenaten's state craft was so good it left him time to devote to other matters. But we have letters begging him to send help to all his northern garrisions in the Levant and beyond. Seems to me he dismantled the priests and ignored the military....always a good way to " mysteriously die " !!
Good work all in all TPP....shame you put in all that hard work to have to endure reading this " comments section "!!!! Menken was right !!
❤
Thank you!

I love Nefretiti. ❤❤❤❤
(Sigh) Reading the comment section on any Ancient Egypt documentary is so frustrating because it always turns into arguments about race.
1. The concept of race didn't exist in then so why people feel the need to bring it up confuses me
2. I have no idea why anyone would think that Ancient Egyptians were some kind of homogenized group that all looked the same. At its height Egypt reached from Sudan to Syria, Pharoahs would marry women from other Kingdoms and for thousands of years people from all over the known world would come to Egypt for trade and knowledge.
The concept of race didn’t exist? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@danielcronin7512 As in people wouldn't have described themselves as black or white.
@@EvanSol919 sure. Keep on living in your dream world. You're still part of the problem whether you acknowledge it or not
You use the same quadroon looking face in your king Tut video.

Who's the guy in the thumbnail though?
Akhenaten. Whose else?
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518 Doesn't look like him at all.
@@davidmaina5998 And you knew Akhenaten personally? There is no realistic image of Akhenaten. But he had full lips on them and so has inidvidual in thumbnail. He also looks like North African person whom Akhenaten was.
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518 Realistic images of Akhenaten do exist. 😝..... You are notorious for having very shallow knowledge on ancient Egypt. I know you.
@@davidmaina5998 Egyptian art wasn't meant to be realistic. Or are you gonna tell me that Pharaohs were trully eternally young? I think you are the one with shallow knowledge on ancient Egypt.
I contend he was Irish.

I'm well into my 70's...I have learned that history is questionable at best...I believe that Napoleon describes "history",as "the fallacies the majority agrees upon!" For sure...🤔
Nefertiti was not the mother of Tutankamon. She was the mother of Tutankamon's wife. The mother of Tutankamon was "The younger Lady"
There's no proof either way
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn In Younger Lady there is genetic proof. You can of course doubt analysis. However, if you trust it, then Younger Lady was both mother of Tut and sister of Akhenaten. Nefertiti wasn't sister of her husband, so that cannot be her in this case.
Pharaoh Akhenaten was pure African brother not Egyptian 💯 facts truth
Facts are - Egyptians are Africans. Akhenaten was Egyptian, meaning North African.
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518
Excuse me
Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization Ancient Egypt was pure African people not Egyptian African don't check ✅ me sit 🪑 down 👇 little girl read a book 📚
@@MikeScott-ez7iw Excuse me, both India and China are in Asia, yet Chinese and Indians don't look the same. Ancient Egyptians were North African people who were always mixing with Levantines and have different phenotypes. NONE is 'pure' on this world. I am not a girl.

@@MikeScott-ez7iw I am not gonna be silent, when you sperad misinformation and nonses. Egyptians and other North Africans weren't Black. This is fact.
I'm the soul who was Akenaten. I have eternal life here already under the sun. You say fanatical because you're an iddy it. I'm the Way to having the blessings of the Lord by obedience to me. I'm the incarnation of the sun God your Lord. None of you want to listen to me, as usual, and everything's going down the shyter. If the covenant was reafirmed with me. Everything would start getting better. You're all set on being goats instead of this shepherd's sheep. So very few will survive. I'm your Savior from the cursing period you're all experiencing these days. Until I'm believed and received. Nothing will get better. Only worse.
You need some help homie. Word to fly thai

Lmao.
No bullshit tho, sun worship makes alot more sense than this abrahamic nonsense

@@Mikefantasia22 I'm the root of all three. It was I who wrestled with Jacob and named him IS RA EL. It was I who was on the ark. Was it not a great carpenter to build it? Son of the Lord you're all told and you don't think it was this HASATAN? Enter into my everlasting kingdom here by understanding that it's not a religion. It's a divine constitution given from the beginning by the sun God. Handed down to this son. Used by this king of kings to bring numerous different empires the blessings of the Lord by their obedience. Everlasting kingdom with an everlasting covenant constitution and you can't figure out how to get everlasting life?
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn I'd pull out the ouji board and ask a few questions. Might get a few answers you didn't expect. Or, you may have blasphemed the holy spirits and they won't tell you ANYTHING until you're forgiven. If that's possible anymore. I suggest you give your guilt offering. Entering into my everlasting kingdom begins there.
Aten isn't a sun God- that's Ra. Aten is none other than Yah Weh or Allah - it's clearly specified in the Quran that messengers were sent to every nation.. So this one before Prophet Abraham.

There is an African look
Although you may not be able to recognize it in people’s faces, I can
Yes, africa was named by endemic caucasians… 😮 oops?
@@NeptunesLagoon not sure if you’re joking or not
But there is evidence that the name Africa is indigenous to Africa
Do a little research, you’ll find the first connection is to KMT/ Egypt
@@cejann3926 yes, I’m a retired near eastern researcher, and well aware that Africa was named by endemic caucasians as all of North Africa and Egypt were always caucasians… do some research yourself, it’s clearly noted… and genetics back this up quite well… it’s like you think sub Saharan people named it, or knew that Egypt existed…? SMH before it was all called Lybia… tissue…? I’m not joking, but your attempt was a joke …SMH and of course Kemet/ Egypt were always caucasians from the pre dynastic…
It’s like he thought that africa means all sub saharans, somehow…? And notice that he tried to mention Egyptians also, somehow…? He didn’t even make a complete sentence…? Yes, indigenous to Africa were caucasians: Berbers/Amazigh, Lybians, Egyptians ect… always… Afro-asiatic is a caucasian language… Africa was named by and for indigenous caucasians… well known facts… what did he think 🤔 😂 why limp in with that sad lie…? SMH
Example:The name had usually been connected with the Phoenician word ʿafar meaning "dust", but a 1981 hypothesis has asserted that it stems from the Berber word ifri (plural ifran)
Also: The origin of the name “Africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. Most believe it stems from words used by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. Important words include the Egyptian word Afru-ika, meaning “Motherland”; the Greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the Latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”Oct 19, 2023
… ooops…? SMH
Why is he "unusually" depicted as you say ? Is it because he doesn't look white?
Typically pharaohs would erect statues in a more flattering light, symmetrical and visually free of spots and blemishes. Whereas Akhenatens statues are pot-bellied and lack symmetry. I doubt the documentary maker thought he was white or should be portrayed as such.

You do realize that the Arab part comes from the fact they speak Arabic, right?
@@jadis40 Arab History, Arab Culture, Arab Language and Arab Religious Islamic dogma 642AD invasion of Arab of Northern Coast of Africa Continent.. Arabs are Western Asian people. Not of the Ancient Egyptian Indigenous African River Nile Valley Civilization.
@@mmi5833 Except for one thing: there was a change in language, but that doesn't change the fact that Sub Saharan west Africans were not the original inhabitants of Egypt. They were caucasoid.
Herodotus talks about the Colchians. Do you even know where that's located? In the modern day country of Georgia. In the Caucasus Mountains. Same as Armenia.
@@mmi5833 As far as being indigenous?
They found that the ancient Egyptians were most closely related to the peoples of the Near East, particularly from the Levant. This is the Eastern Mediterranean which today includes the countries of Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.Jan 16, 2022

Why always hating on Akhenaten??
Why does he always get called Fanatical and Heretic rather than Visionary and Genius?
i suppose they will say the same things of Theodor Herzel in a thousand years time.
😇🩷🙏🙌
All of the Pharoahs were Black 🖤
Alexander the Great and Ptolemies too...? 🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂ No. Most Pharaohs were North Africans and classify them as either White or Black is not right. There were no doubt both lighter and darker people amng them, some with more Nubian, others with more Levantine ancestry.
None of the Pharaohs were black. Except for the 25th dynasty. Then the Assyrians came along and changed that.
@@jadis40 There definitely were more Pharaohs who was of Black phenotype beyond 25th dynasty, as many Kings took Nubian consorts. We simply cannot pinpoint them, because we don't have complete genealogy for every ruler and North African features on images are racially ambigous.

Nothing nndK
Power grab.
It’s clear that with a Canaanite influence and how he was shifting the ppl to worship only one god, because the worship of more than one god was considered idolatry, it looks like he could have been moving them toward the One true God YHWH. Could this have been Moses and his Egyptian name Akhenaton?
Putting aside there is no evidence of Moses's historicity, why would Bible say that Moses was 'only' Pharaoh's ward, if he was King himself?
I see black people on the walls, busts and statues but, oh, I forgot….genetics 😂😂😂
People on walls and statues are North Africans who look similar to modern ones. It's impossible to tell from those idealized images what is exact genetic make-up of individuals - but they are clearly different than Kushites they were depicted fighting with. You see what you want to see.
*"I see black people on the walls"*
They depicted as slaves and prisonders of war.
looking totally different from the ancient Egyptians.

Herodotus told us what the Egyptians looked like! The bible tells us too! Ham was the father of Mizriam (Egypt) but some how his son is white? Cush who is also Hams son is black but magically his son Nimrod is white 😅 this is the level of reasoning. Ramesses III belongs to the haplogroup group E1b1a-M2 and the majority of that haplo group is black. White people trying to place themselves in places where they don't belong. There was no white people building structures in that hot Egyptian sun! Nor did they spend 40 years wondering the africian desert!
'Herodotus told us what the Egyptians looked like!' - Yes he did - he say they look like people of Colchis. Whoe were not Black. End of discussion.
'The bible tells us too! ' - I will tell you this as Christian: stop using fictional accounts from Bible, that is embarassing and that emmbarass those of us who are capable of thinking.
''Cush who is also Hams son is black but magically his son Nimrod is white' - You ar etalking about FICTIONAL characters.
'Ramesses III ' - I had no idea Ramesses III was the only Egyptian in Egypt.
'There was no white people' - NONE is claimig they were white. Egyptians were people of colour of similar look like modern Egyptians. Thye were Mediterraneans with mostly brown and olive skin tones.
