The Story Of Ancient Egypt's Mysterious Queens | Lost Queens | Timeline

- Historian, Joann Fletcher explores the hitherto downplayed role that women took in the running of state and, indeed, in shaping every aspect of life in Ancient Egypt. Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of ‘Pharaoh’ no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses. Focusing on women of royalty such as Pharaoh Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertari, as well as women of high profession such as Lady Peseshet, the earliest female doctor known to the world, Fletcher reveals an ancient civilization unparalleled in its sexual equality.

This lady was my favorite type of professor in college; someone who looked a little unorthodox, and was not only knowledgeable but you could tell they were actually passionate about the subject matter as well. So even if it was a subject you weren't particularly interested in, the excitement in their voice still made you listen with mild intrigue.
Someone you'd like to sit down for tea with and a long chat
@@thatgrumpychick4928 Exactly 👍
I had an art history professor like that, she made me love whatever she was talking about.
Aja Christian I love hearing things like this.
i watched her and i was about to write a comment when i read yours, you said exactly what was in my mind, she i a darling really :) i was fascinated with my own country allover again!!
I'm on my fifth video now of this woman's Egyptology series. Her undying enthusiasm for her field makes for a very entertaining and educational watch; you can really tell she loves this stuff even though she's probably researched and taught the subject for years and years.
She makes a guest appearance in another documentary about a cannibalistic group of people living in chili like 9,000 years ago who practiced mummification and her sudden arrival made my day!! 😊
she loves whitewashing and gets paidt to do it by the arabs honey
@@hopefoundme1535 Did you know that ancient Egyptians would’ve looked like modern Egyptians? Or are you just too ignorant to even consider that?
I want to see them, I love how she tell all the stories. Where are those videos???
yes omg i love her, this is my third time rewatching her documentaries abt egypt
the absolute beauty of the murals in nefertari’s tomb absolutely floored me, they are so uncannily vivid and bright for something so old. egyptian art is amazing and beautiful to me, it would be such a dream to see that in person.
Accept this as as close as you are going to get to the real thing. Get a Bigger Monitor.
Queen Nefertari's tomb has got to be one of the best preserved ones. The paintings on the walls and ceiling are still so vivid. amazing.
They're not vivid they're painted over why do you think you can see them so well it's not preservation that's done that to them
Maxx King you don’t know that
V Rotosva k sure
@@maxxking9664 no they were only cleaned and painted over the scratches, so 80% of it is still in original condition
Nefertari was queen in bc. I believe in the story of Moses. Nefititi is a completely different queen.
I am Egyptian ...and I enjoy Joann's way of narrating ....Finally Our Queens stories are being told by another Queen
Pfft
That's great ❤️👍🏻
why Is everyone upset I think they are right!
Cleopatra origin was from Macedonian Greece… this is when white people conquer Egypt and then finally Arabs were the last.
People keep forgetting the ancient Egyptian most died or moved down to upper Egypt where the Nubian ruled.
Due to the many wars and plague that the West brought with them.
The same thing happen to native Americans Indians.
At their peak they had 60millions and today 6 million who got colonize and move to a reservation.
The ancient Egyptian were African origin and mix. Along beside the Nubians.
@@Kemet3.0 were all african orgin smart one
This woman is not only an amazing educator and respectful to ancient Egyptians, but she’s so respectful to the Egyptians who live there now, even speaking arabic
Tokenistic white woman. Ugh
@@santosh99samuel I personally am egyptian and found her kind and respectful. No one asked for your feedback
She speaks Egyptian, not Arabic. That is 2 entirely different languages.
@@bunzeebear2973 egyptian is a dialect of arabic.
That tomb is way too beautiful and extremely well preserved to be over 3,000 years old. It almost looks like it was just recently done. I'm actually pretty stunned at how new and fresh it looks.
Conservator of antiquities here. Everything is preserved almost perfectly if there is no humidity, sun light and oxygen. Usually the a tomb's murals are deteriored because they have been opened and humidity and heat gotninto the building. However the materials and the way the murals were made is also important.
If only Nefetari could have seen the beautiful tomb in which she lay. It made me tear up. He must’ve loved her so much
But did she feel the same way?
@@wenthulk8439 What do you mean?
@@maybe_sleeping6570 I mean did she love him too?
@@wenthulk8439 from the other videos i have seen, she must have loved him too, because he built temples where her pictures were in there with him and many of these pictures show the intimacy of the two or how they do something together and so on
@@maybe_sleeping6570 Maybe.
I wish more professors were as passionate about history as this lady is ....
Agreed. My fav is lucy worsley because she gets so Into it
Joann Fletcher is superb❣️ I love her commitment to the art of teaching. She has brought these women to life for us. They who are seen on ancient walls in palaces, on temples and in their final resting places are a magnificent example of strength, grace, beauty, knowledge and wisdoms of all leagues…Thank you Joann for your legacy of caring, and wrapping us in a shroud of awe and wonder. I am so grateful for you.☮️❤️🌠🙏✨
The way this lady narrating everything so deeply and passionately is truly amazing.
This woman is hardcore, she wears a black suit in the Egyptian heat while narrating the documentary. Wow!

Its not that hot all year round just because it's a desert. Temperatures can easily drop between 65-50 degrees during winter/fall months. Coats are worn in Egypt.
Why black nigerians, ghanas thinks they were Egyptians lmao
Bro they were black
She gets so enthusiastic and excited about every little detail that it makes me smile. Clearly, this is something she loves.
I love this entutiasm she present . I g’et smitten by herpassion
She is quite empathient!
She does! I saw some other documentaries on Egypt and she’s a doctor who studies this stuff. Very smart lady indeed
I was recently in Egypt, and visited all the temples- especially Karnak- Hapsetshut- the Red Temple. A Most stupendous thing- Joann is absolutely perfect in her comprehensive understanding and deep intuitive knowledge of what really transpired in those ancient times. EXCELLENT COMMENTARY PRODUCTION AND FILM. 🌿🌐🌿
What an exceptionally informative, engaging and interesting documentary! Joann's own passion for this subject is contagious!
Nefertari's tomb is absolutely amazing! Probably the best preserved of all Egyptian tombs as far as wall art.
i think Tut's tomb is most preserved
Tut’s tomb is a Fake! Carter is, was and forever will be a sham. Sorry

Lucky you!
Thank you, Prof Fletcher for making history come alive.
Superb narration, your experience on and knowledge of the subject matter are matched by your gift for narration and passion.
I would rather having Taylor Swift in bikini though.
Hatshepsut has been my idol for as far as I can remember. Her story facinates me and the image she gave of herself, combined with her rulling full of stenght inspired me. Since I was a child, I admired her. Its always nice to relearn those things!
It’s a shame we know so much about cleopatra only and so little about these brilliant women
Say for yourself, there's plenty of people who know all about the others.
What makes you think they're brilliant? They were demonic.
And still there is so much mystery surrounding the real Cleopatra and very little from during her reign has survived.
You have to keep in mind that we know about Cleopatra for one reason and one reason only because of Hollywood’s portrayal of her by way of Elizabeth Taylor, a role that originally was to star Dorothy Dandridge but was later recast with Elizabeth because the movie studios felt she was a bigger box office draw and moreover it was done to depict queens and pharaohs as white. So for many years unless you went out of your way to do your due diligence then this was the narrative you were left with.
@@ChocolateMilk.. cleopatra was wannabe pharoh
It's marvelous how rich, vivid and great the Egyptian history is.
@lashelle capos yes, sadly it is true the history is molded by the people who have the influence, just look at Jesus Christ they said he was white, I wonder how a child born in the middle East with parents of darker complexion was declared as white.
lashelle capos ancient Egyptians were most likely Levantine. So kinda whiteish but not really black. A good example of that would be the fayum mummy portraits.
lashelle capos I know it’s in Africa but as genetics show, modern Egyptians are way more mixed with Central Africans. (Source bigthink.com/philip-perry/were-the-ancient-egyptians-black-or-white-scientists-now-know)
lashelle capos I never said that they were Caucasian, but it’s an undisputed fact that people from Northern Africa and Sinai are just ”whiter“ than Central Africans. They weren’t mixed with white people, but they are just more pail. And I agree with you that it’s wrong to say that historical people from the Middle East or Africa were black or white. You need more inform to say, which race a person belonged to. In the case of Egypt we have this information and it does that true genetics of mummies which in my opinion is indisputable.
lashelle capos and European contact started waaaaay earlier with the Minoans, Greeks and the Romans
I had a great lovely time while staying glued to the screen for over an hour. How charming, royal, profound, interesting & captivating the stories of ancient Egyptian Queens looks like! The Egyptologist was at her best for explaining.
6:38 Hetepheres
12:54 Hatshepsut
29:53 Nefertari
good looks
Egyptians were in a league of their own and ahead of they're time, their intelligence is like no other. even to this day we dont even know how they built the pyramids
Yes but ancient people were more taller and bigger than any of the tallest person alive today. It was said that the egyptian pharoah is 198 meter tall equivalent to 19800 cm. Therefore building the pyramids were probably just like our generations builds building nowadays.
we definitely know how they built the pyramids though
@@Katiethewizard ive yet to hear about it, where's your proof
@@Katiethewizard tell us
@@draco2xx It was basically just knowing the right math equation and then using a lot of specialized labor and simple machines to construct them. Here's a video from PBS about it. But i do agree ancient egyptians were really ahead of their time! th-cam.com/video/52V9jmrgSbI/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Joann Fletcher, is an extremely passionate historian. A prolific and detailed storyteller. She fully engages her audience with fine, explicit, and fascinating details about the female Egyptian pharaoh's. An exquisite look into Egypt's ancient past. Egypt, a sophisticated culture, revering the importance of women, as pharoah's and in the roles of goddess, queen, leader and family.
Yes, very interesting stories about these powerful Egyptian queens and pharaoh's
100% agree with this. And my wonderful eyes firstly saw ‘fluffy’ instead of ‘fully’ and with this word the whole sentence came to an interesting way 😂
Nefertari was a gracious woman, keeping in good will communications with the queen of a rival culture, maintaining peaceful relations using soft power. @41:28
One of my favorite documentaries by Dr. Joann Fletcher. Her enthusiasm for ancient Egypt is contagious. I enjoy watching all of the videos of her. From the guided tours to the mummy cases. I hope she continues to share her knowledge and passion for Egyptology in videos.
This is 100x better than watching a 1 hr movie
more like an hour and a half, but yes!!
Movies are for the useless
I don't think so
Yesss
Man I bet taking Ancient Egyptian classes with this Prof. must be really fun. She makes it so interesting and she is super passionate :)
Sure and a one-way ticket to unemployment unless you're a trust fund kid.
ickeyViki I have to agree
Hadoken Taking a Ancient Egyptian history classes doesn't equal unemployment, are you stupid? That doesn't even vaguely make sense.
Storm Bey I wouldn’t go off calling people stupid when you don’t seem to be any better. In college, you are required to take certain classes. They may give you options like: you need to take a math class. You can take Algebra, geometry or calculus. Either one of these will count as a math credit. Perhaps an ancient Egypt class is one of the options for a history credit.
Also being rude doesn’t equal employment. Have a great day
She doesn't even know what she is talking about completely
You are truely a great teacher. At college as a student of History of art i never could remember who is who untill I went through your video. Your clarity of facts is so enlightening. Thanks for the effort you have taken to show us the world of magnificent Egypt in true light.
This video series is by far the best I've seen on the subject. Kudos to all involved - please make more!
I've been a massive ancient civilizations nerd and lover since grade school and stumbling upon this amazing documentary rekindled my love for the nation and it's history/legacy. I *will* visit Egypt with my family one day, speaking it into existence 🤞✨
welcome to egypt
Haven't you visited Egypt yet
You will find out more on TH-cam than you will by going to Egypt. You HAVE TO BE AN EGYPTOLOGIST TO "MAYBE" GAIN ACCESS to some of the ruins. Most are closed to the public by Egyptian authorities. It is "their" ancient wonders so they have that right.
@@bunzeebear2973 It's closed off because they don't want people to know the truth. It's been that way since the Greeks and Romans conquered Egypt. Ancient Egypt has always had African Black origins and those in charge are hiding this from the public. It's called Academic Racism.
I am a life long Egyptian history enthusiast and I never heard of Kufu's mother, or of Arsinoe . Very enlightening. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Joann, many of the places you have shown are known to me having visited the region numerous times but your descriptions have shed new light, I cant wait to go back.
I admire her passion and respect for the Egyptian culture. So far as to only speak their language to them instead of English. I love to see it.
She's one of my new favorite historians. She's super knowledgeable and passionate.
I am an Egyptian man and this lady was carried by real Egyptians in the film so that make her a royal lady too 😂 and to all of you people you are more than welcome to visit Egypt and see all the history by your eyes at any time we are the sons of the real pharons loves you and want you to come and visit us here ...from Egypt with love 😃🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
No thank you imposter I rather be invited by a Nubian a real Egyptian not a transplant who stole the real history of Egypt sick of your lies
@@playerguido6978 man you are just jealous Couse you have no roots and a bad history and I want to tell you something we live here in Egypt for a long time even when your people was eating from the floor like animals my people was wearing gold ..btw Sory for my bad English but at least I can speak your language can you speak Arabic ..so we are more educated than your people too and of course have hestory more than your country
First of all you're nothing to be jealous of you or your people the only thing you've bought to humanity is Terrorism and lies just by the very notion of what you have just said and that tirade of Mary Reed smoked you just said makes no sense and I didn't even care to reply to you you wanted those it don't matter your insignificant you bring no Quest no purpose to humanity and it erases comment you made about my people it just shows what You're Made Of you took offense at what I said what I said is based on truth you are transplants in the land that is not yours
@wade zack man you are more than welcome to visit Egypt and we will show you the Egyptian hospitality just come 👋😀
@wade zack speak for yourself chum.
It’s honestly sad how Egypt went from wealth, power, knowledge and religion to people denying their history and claiming an outside religion/beliefs is true 🤷♂️
And no one doing some maintenance for the Pyramids. Am glad Ramses does not see that, he would be appalled by the lack of respect for the architecture.
I think she's the type of teacher where her students wouldn't want to miss a single class! I am glad I've found out about her and these series!
The lady in Black is not the only one that has done vids on Ancient Egypt. YT has a whole bunch of them by different people and each add a bit more knowledge to your brain.
I just want more of this lady. She's a joy to listen to. Thank you for explaining it to us. I've often wondered what some of the writings meant and you've managed to not only explain it to us but to explain it in a way that is exciting and interesting. Its like being there.
She looks like a mad professor.... I love it!!

@@bambi7563 omg yesss!!
I have watched 4 documentries in a row.and im ready for more.defenetly.What a treat to hear this amazing narrator.thank you dr fletcher!!!
I love Egyptian history but typically nod off while watching most documentaries about it but Dr. Fletcher makes me so interested. I've learned more about Egypt in 4 of her shows than I have in years of watching other documentaries.
No matter how you slice it Hatshepsut was badass!
This program was so good. I learned things I never knew before about four extraordinary women, two I'd never heard of. I find Nefertari particularly interesting as it seemed she was the perfect consort for Ramses II. Beautiful, intelligent, well read, my goodness. Her tomb is so breathtaking. I'm not surprised they guard that tomb so well. Arsione is just as fascinating: niece of Alexander the Great, born in Egypt with Greek blood, sent to Greece for a political marriage, her first husband dying, the second marriage a disaster, married her OWN BROTHER in order to be Queen consort, introduced a form of capitalism to Egypt: wow. Ms. Fletcher is a delight to listen to because she has such passion for her work and these four "pharaohs". Thanks for uploading this documentary. It was fun to watch!
Arsinoe and the Ptolemies were of no relation to Alexander.
What woman came after arsione? Was it cleopatra? Why was she not mentioned in this documentary?
Because the woman in the documentary said "Besides Cleopatra" or something basically she is making a documentary about the lost queens Besides the famous Cleopatra.
Today’s SJWs would rather you not know these powerful women. As it will contradict their narrative.
@@PungiFungi Guess you missed the part where it is said it is very difficult to find the story of these incredible women, it seems the historians, mostly males, feel the need to disregard any history where women have been strong, intelligent rulers/wives/lovers/citizens. It is thanks to those SJW and feminists that the history of these women and many others throughout history has been re-discovered and it is told.
Love our wonderful Dr. Flether! So interesting, so informative, can be so funny and very enthusiastic with her work. Love her voice and personality 💕💕💕
And you dear Joann have given us a glimpse into their lives
with your passionate storytelling.Thank you .💜🇨🇦

Excellent. Finally the stories of the Queen's and powerful Royal women in Egypt.
I not only found this very interesting but highly educational. Love her how she told it.
After watching this doc 5 times, I'm getting a Hatsepshut tattoo. What an incredible woman!
I've never been a fan of the theory that Hatsepsut usurped Thutmose iii's throne. Throughout history we've had countless examples rulers who usurped the rightful ruler. In all other cases I know of, the usurped ruler was killed because they were a threat to the usurper. What usupers don't do is ensure that the rightful ruler has the best education available, nor do they make the rightful ruler the head of their military. An alternative theory suggests that Hatepsut became Pharaoh to guard the throne from others who wanted to take advantage of Thutmose iii's young age a few years after Thutmose ii died.
How stupid. And btw cultural appropriation.
@@dudikapanteric1141 not really. Abbey is appreciating Hatsepshut!

"Anciety Egypt had women more rights for women more than anywhere in the world "
Now Egyptian women goes to prison just for doing tiktok.
This was before the new religion.... the old African spiritual believes see women as the source of life itself...
@@SireAzi1 yes African
But not black African
Arabs just arrived here in the last 1000years. Most of the ancient Egyptian language is really similar to East African languages. Yet there is no Arabic words that are similar to the ancient Egypt languages. Is like Europeans claiming the maya kingdom in 500 years from now.
@@momoney00can if you are not educated enough please don't speak about other people's civilization .
Yes there is no relationship between Arabic language and the ancient Egyptian languages because the Egyptian language is way older and Arabs already came later to Egypt when Egypt was already Roman .
Egypt is a middle Eastern African country with Caucasian ethnicity .
Mohamed Ghoneim weird you say don’t speak yet you agree with me
I can see that this woman holds respect for all women and men. She is one of the few women who holds pride in being one.
I'm not so sure about that, I felt like she was overcompensating for the fact that were few female leaders in history
For example she kept saying "female Pharaoh" instead of "Pharaoh". Putting the emphasis on gender deliberately and repeatedly.
As though what's between their legs mattered more than their identities and accomplishments.
She must have been brought up by strong parents who didn't focus on gender.
@@tonywoutrs the distinction is important because leadership was always seen as male. Literature about women in leadership is half of the tombs you'll find about male leadership. Stop being obtuse
@@sarahseloma
You'd be right to say that it can't be ignored as societal norms shape your identity.
But no need to beat a dead horse.
You don't want to end up setting a different standard based on group identity, because that's what happens when people overemphasise it.
Ultimately you end up sounding like the people who scoff at the idea of female leaders. I'm sure you've heard the expression "the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference".
@@sarahseloma but well, all in all, the group think wasn't all too strong in this documentary, since there much stronger examples.
And it's not my intention to sound too serious, I'm just a dude sharing my thoughts.

Christine - Have you ever looked into the Minoans on Crete? They were contemporary with Egypt and had a vibrant, glorious style of artwork and architecture. The Palace of Knossos on Crete, or Akrotiri on Santorini... Wonderful stuff!
@Mannix Mannix Indeed! The Minoans were the earlier Greeks before being overtaken by the mainland Mycenaean Greeks. They were known in mythology for the Minotaur, the Labyrinth, and for possibly being the inspiration for the tales of Atlantis.
This is an amazing documentary. I'm still very intrigued only 17 minutes through

This just made an inspiration in my soul. Reawakening my interest in history.
Many many thanks for the most beautifull story🙏🌹💞
Joann Fletcher... What a wonderful historian you are! You are obviously affected by the history you relate, and I think it's fabulous.
I know I would have asked for a moment to myself after stepping into Nefertari's final resting place.
I'd love to feel the weight of all this history myself by physically being there; however, I'll just soak it in through your marvelous videoz.
Thank you.
the part where they talked about Heteperes being carried on the seat made me cry because if you picture ancient egypt at that time and seen the mother being carried like that ....I dont see anything that authentic today. that's so beautiful
I love Professor Fletcher's presentations!
