Is there anyone else too like me... who have been repeatedly watching this documentary like some sort of comfort videos... its so fascinating and satisfying .
Potentially the greatest retelling of 3,000 years of Egyptian civilization in four hours? With the most passionate, knowledgeable, and relatable host/guide? From Narmer to Cleopatra VII, spanning 30+ dynasties this was incredible. Thank you for posting this as a free resource for everyone.
I was going to write what would have been essentially an exact copy of your observations regarding this doc. Why do I feel like this kind of material has become a gem in the rough of Kardashian and Political mindlessness? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Damn… I must be getting old. 😬
Joann Fletcher is definitely a one of a kind, kind of 💎. She had my complete adoration! She's beautiful, genuine, humble, kind, so very intelligent... and she has such dedication & love for work... she gets tickled like a child on Christmas Morning talking about the stuff they used to mix to create paint lol She's just so endearing.... and she tells the tales with such wonder and respect. If you haven't seen the ones she does where they try to identify what killed the mummies, you should check them out.. or anything She's in lol !! It's all awesome!
I love that they actually make real archeologists do the reporting instead of hiring some journalists who only have superficial knowledge of what they are about to cover. You can really feel the deep enthusiasm they have.
agree. ancient history shouldn’t be documented by journalists anyway. aside from their limited knowledge, they just don’t have the same appreciation and understanding of it unlike archaeologists who actually studied it bc they love it.
This is one that I can watch over and over, one I will even put in my "to go to sleep by" playlist. It's brilliantly done, and this woman shows how deeply she cares for history with every scene. Some could even bring a tear to the eye, as strongly as she shows her feelings for this place. Let me put it this way: If it isn't real passion for history that I'm seeing, she's the best actor I've seen in a very long time. I'm so glad I found this channel, and especially this video! ❤❤
How ez u have fallen. I can talk with a lot of passion too like i was there. This is controlled opposition nothing more. This is the thing they autoplay after u watch some real critisizing videos' this red head is not to be trusted😂
There’s something truly magical and beautiful about watching someone talk about their passions and what they love, they have this shimmer in their eyes, they light up and all the sudden you can see the passion pouring out of them as they talk. You see it when she talks too, when she’s in the tombs so full of awe and joy. You can tell she truly loves what she’s doing and it’s honestly really cool to watch. Seeing someone be able to do what makes them truly passionate and happy, then the fact that she educates people in it. It’s really amazing.
Love Egypt and their History. Egypt is our oldest friend, a relationship that go back millenials, not just some decades or centuries. Greetings from Athens, Greece
I've studies world history in college and after for fitty years. Too bad wisdom and knowledge are wasted on the young. They have no idea what they're missing nor do they care.
It’s a passion for incorporating white people into our black history. I wouldn’t say that’s a real passion first, they said aliens was helping Black people build the pyramids now we have a great Alexander with no bloodline or connection or Kingsman ship to Egypt getting shared secret knowledge with no I called that’s a lie. That’s a fucking lie and how come they didn’t find something else from years ago with great Alexander Inc. in it please shut the fuck up then she randomly goes up to a random hieroglyphics on the wall and says oh yeah, that’s his name look at his name right there and you would never know. None of us would never know and she just goes up to the wall and pointed hieroglyphics as you looked. Alexandra name is right there look.
Joann has such an immense knowledge of her main subject ( Ancient Egypt ). I find it really impressive to hear an authority and professor express so much knowledge and be so enthusiastic about their subject!
@@bananablisss She is amazing. I am going to Egypt, and as retard as I am, taking on any subject into great detail, Im diving into each dynasty, but also getting the true context connecting them together. Docu's like this one, gives a lot of structural meaning to why everything is as they are. And it also gives all the deails more meaning as a whole. This is how I am as a person by definition in everything I do myself. I am easily a storry telling person always from the context and glue keeping all the details together. So. She is amazing. She does this great
This is a stellar documentary that is not a redesigned repeat of the hundreds of previous Egyptian documentaries. This is a truly unique and comprehensive documentary that explains Egypt’s civilization beginnings and ultimate decline over 5,000 years.
I’m glad I’m not the only one nearly tearing up , it’s well done and her voice reminds me of my grandma telling me her experiences of visiting Egypt when I was a little girl, I miss my grandma so this brought back memories which I hadn’t thort of for a long time so was lovely.
Her narration is just absolutely beautiful along with the videographer, this video really puts you in the moments of actuality. Thank you for the video! I enjoyed watching it so so much! From Katrinka in the San Francisco Bay Area
You must have felt the history of those places. I've visited some ancient places in China. The feeling I got in them is indescribable. We are fortunate to have felt it.
I love this professor...I had watched all these videos before but her presentations are so captivating and full of passion...just the way someone pf her profession should be. She adds emotions and depth and continues to ignite my passion for simply gaining knowledge. I could listen and watch her all day
That she is. I only just discovered this video this morning and I love her manner and excitement and politeness and respect that she shows, lovely documentary.
It's funny how despite how far away the time is from us, it still remains pleasing and satisfying to see. It's held up extremely well, not goofed around with, and the architecture is something I want my my own house. I can read stuff and see pictures, but hearing her voice echo and draw atention to the little things the common people left. Makes it more present and real if that makes sense?
It’s lovely watching this , I love they way she does this and I’ve learnt a lot more about Egypt than I did as a kid at school, this would be awesome if it was played to the kids in school when learning about Egypt.

Professor Fletcher, Never before has there been any better narrator, well read, and simply educated to the best of ancient Egypt and all of her dynasties. I listen to your teachings and look forward to new information that have missed. The only thing in this world history for me that matches the mysteries of ancient Egypt is how a beautiful scholar, obtained so much information accurately and so few years. You are beautiful! Thank you for teaching me.
@@stinksterrekerinski4450 What a nasty person you are. You should be ashamed. Instead of berating someone for believing this documentary in it's entirety, why not educate them with your facts and knowledge. Instead of just name calling?
I would love to travel with professor Fletcher to any archaeological site in or around Egypt, but especially those associated with the earliest sites of the old kingdom. Her passion and love for Egyptian history is so strongly evident in this video!
Poor fletcher she picked the worst career for her lack of melanin . That umbrella is like putting a band aide on a bullet wound. A career in like Antarctica would of been more skin friemdly for her.
Yeah, she’s great. Her reaction when she saw the head of amenahotp(spelling?) under the cloth was fantastic. Reminded me of someone’s reaction to being asked to marry their lover. Though I think she’s more excited than any lover could ever be lol. Just sitting there alone afterwards staring in awe. I generally have less than zero interest in ancient Egyptian relics but her passion for the subject and the way she tells the stories of their culture and beliefs is so engaging.
This was made last year? Complete BS! Do you know how many books on the subject I have moved from the history section to the fiction section in my library in the last 20 years? Just about all of them! I am not even 2 min into this "documentary" by a so called "PhD of archeology" and everything she opens with is a lie, because I assume that she is educated well enough to know that everything she just said has been discredited for over a decade already.
I don't know how this came up on my TH-cam but I watched it through. You all must have spent an age constructing this. Brilliant. Thank you for your great effort. I just wanted to say how appreciated this effort is. Looking at this history of Egypt makes one realise how small each of us in terms of time and the universe.
Thank you Dr. Fletcher and crew for this deep dive into the origins of Ancient Egypt. I woke up to this video and became completely mesmerized by this wonderful presentation.
I love her so much, I love Egypt too. Learning all of these things, knowing that there are so much more out there to discover, it's so exciting... I'd give anything to be able to be a part of it. Just incredible!
The people unwrapping the past and trying to understand our history are the true heroes of modern humanity explaining our stories and why we came to be . Truly amazing we have no idea how the pyramids where built and just how smart our forefathers actually where !
Soo grateful for this beautiful image, music, and comprehensive explanation by Prof. Fletcher This video is an explosion of passion love it, I was repeat it again and again
I love watching Prof.Joanne Fletcher and listening to het talk about the lives of the ancient egypts is amazing, i could just imagine how they lived their lives. Their work their home lives the games they played the food they ate, you can just picture it in your mind, she is amazing i would have loved to have her as one of my professors when i was in university.
I fell in love with all things Ancient Egyptian when I was 9 and my school teacher introduced my class to the basics. Since then I’ve tried to read and watch everything I can find on the subject. Joann Fletcher has deepened my interest and understanding of Ancient Egypt. Thank you for making this marvelous video available.
I never used to be particularly interested in Egyptian history. Until I first saw one of her documentaries. Since then, I have been well and truly hooked ❤️
Good for her. She’s pursuing something she loves and finally getting recognized. A bunch of work that is an understatement. I hope your eating descently!
I found your channel through Mr Ballen and since then you have been a breath of air in a suffocating media world. Living in the Pacific Northwest and talking to volunteer search/rescue people first made me aware of unexplained disappearances in the '80's.
Which of Mr Ballen's videos brought you here? His channel is my favorite on TH-cam. I saw the one about Dorothy Eady. So, he has another Egyptian story? I must watch it. :o
I just realized now that I commented to you instead of David Paulides'. DUH. I had your channel open at the time. Ive watched everything you have put out. Some of it twice.
I absolutely love this archaeologist she has such a beautiful intellect on top of the fact that she loves what she does and is somebody that did not have the resources to become an archaeologist and do what I love it's wonderful to see somebody that can do it and share it with people like me thank you madam we appreciate your hard work
Love her commentary, nice to see a presenter with a Northern accent. Make us feel at home, plus she is so engaging. She really makes it exciting and intriguing watch.
I wonder why she bo bothered calling what was called "Canaan" with the much much newer name "Palestine". To me this faults her entire presentation. It's either she's keeping it historically correct or something else
What an amazing documentary! Much gratitude to all who made this, all of the sound and visuals were lovely, and of course Dr.Fletcher for an engaging presentation of one of the greatest cultures.
I'm only 30 minutes into this story of Egypt and I just HAVE to say, that I was lucky enough to go to the great exhibition of Egyptian artifacts in San Francisco. This was when exhibitions went all over the world so we, who couldn't get to Egypt, could gaze in wonder at that which is Egypt. I stood in front of the iconic golden mask of King Tutankhamun, no further away than one foot! I witnessed mummies. I was close enough to see their eyelashes and fingernails. I saw their jewelry, pottery, statues that were so highly polished that you could see your reflection as clearly as if it were glass. One of the most breathtaking things I saw were the hieroglyphics beautifully displayed for viewing. I could go on and on, but I want to get back to this video.
Beautiful to read your experience, I felt your words and wonder. I also had the pleasure of experiencing Egyptian artifacts in the Museum of Natural History in New York City , I was much younger than but you brought it all back as well as this magical woman . 👏🙏♥️
Professor Joann Fletcher is one of The Best Egyptologists around, her inspiration for this fascinating subject. If I could go back in time and just watch without being seen by the locals then I would have gone back to the time of the Egyptians and pharaohs. I’m sure that I would not have been alone as a lot more people would go back to watch the splender of the Egyptian people. Thanks to Joann Fletcher for the brilliant documentary about the history of the people. Thank you….Phil
I fell asleep watching this and had a dream where I visited Egypt with my sister and as we walked around the ancient monuments in the present day we were given a VR headset that we could wear that was perfectly mapped to the outside world and showed you what Egypt looked like at the time of the pharaohs. It was beautiful. Huge stone buildings and temples, lush green pastures in which cattle grazed. It was so amazing. Thank you for such sweet dreams.
To be able to learn from you online through your videos is a delight. To ever be able to meet such a renown Archiologist as your self would be a true dream come true. Yet to tread in your footsteps would be the most humbling of things not within my ability. Ms. Fletcher you dear lady are what I have wanted to do all my life, to walk in and learn about Egypt first hand would be my dreams and desires come true. Regretfully my old school parents thought that Archiology was not a sufficient way to support myself as a woman.
I think if you can work on uncovering history with a person like Dr. Fletcher, work will never ever feel like work. It'll be a passion project from the beginning to the end.
Wow but not enough to put this in words 😳 2:30:05 such an honour to witness such ancient history. It always gives me chill seeing and hearing Tutankhamun this about His tomb. Thank you for this Documentary
In my book Joann Fletcher is to Ancient Egypt wat Mary Beard is to Ancient Rome and Eleanor Janega is to Medieval England. All three are first class story tellers
I agree all three are brilliant. It saddens me to see how often folks comment on their looks though. Not really something male historians have to deal with.
@@denisecampbell3416 especially since looks aint got a damn thing to do with it. When someone brings that up it's because they don't have anything else to discredit them
Wow Thak you sooo much for creating such a master class and make it accessibke to everyone. I am attracted to Egypt's history and tradtion since I was almost a child. This video takes you through Egypt's history showing you real monuments and the land. Egypt is definetely in my list of places to visit next.
@@judaprinxbeatz.8008 Egyptians were coptics and still exist till this day, when Arabs came, some of them converted to Islam... Aswan and Nuba are in Egypt, so I don't know what are you talking about... Egypt is in North Africa, that doesn't mean that all its people should be black... if thats so, why Mid or South Africa doesn't have its own civilization there... where are you from, I am not even egyptian but I swear to God I started really hating these black foolish Afro-centric people
@@judaprinxbeatz.8008On the contrary, black Africans have nothing to do with the ancient Egyptian civilization. Only the Nuba ruled for nearly 80 years in the Twenty-fifth Dynasty, and they were Nubian Egyptians and not sub-Saharan Africans. 😃👍
@@deadlyechoThe Afrocentric goal was from the beginning to educate their children about civilization in West Africa, but the topic turned into blackening all the world's civilizations.🤷🏻🤷🏻
@@hemakoyagy You're not an Egyptian you the descendants of the arabs that ruled over egypt. You people try to erase Ancient Egyptians were black. Before the Roman invasion. And before the arab invasion. Ancient Egyptian Were black. Egypt has had Five black pharaohs. The first pharaoh was black. During his reign as pharaoh over egypt the pyramids were constructed and built
Amazing, awesome, incredible, this lady gives a story that makes you feel you are there, she is so passionate about her long of Egypt and the ancient lives... Love her to bits
Hate to break the news to her these Pyramid's were built thousands of years before the time she states, and Kufu had about as much to do with building them I did...Oh wait don't forget the copper chisels and rolling pins 🤣
They’re not your ancestors. Not the ones who built and founded “Egypt” at least. Your ancestors came from the east. Same as they did in Constantinople. Now Istanbul.
I'd kill to have a walk through (insert ancient Egyptian archeological site here) with Prof Fletcher. Her genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of the dynasties is insurmountable and rubs off on people. Shes one of my favorites hope to meet her one day.
Very well done and you seem to have such passion for this culture, as I do, too. It was magnificent. I could easily watch 40 more hours of these excavations, history and culture. Thank you.
Dr. Fletcher captivates me with every word and every emotion. I feel Ancient Egypt in my soul and all that I am. Dr. Fletcher ascends to a level that no other mortal parallels. If I were ever blessed to be able to travel to this magnificent place, the only thing that would make it even better would be to be able to meet Dr. Fletcher there, and possibly visit the Great Pyramid with her or a temple. How amazing that would be. A girl can dream... Thank you Dr. Fletcher for all that you do. You do it with such passion and grace.
Simply the best prof. Fletcher! Thank you so much for so eloquently Sharing your knowledge of ancient Egypt, it is obviously your passion and it shines through and has made my day....” you can turn the rain off now!” 😄😄😄
A good documentary that let us down at the end. Joann and the producers did such a good job describing the characteristics of each era of ancient Egyptian politics and faith, and then just left it at "well, here come the Romans, so let's just skip to how the British Empire rediscovered ancient Egypt and did a service to everyone." When were the last hieroglyphs carved? Did the Romans not assimilate into Egyptian culture? How similar is the ancient Egyptian spoken language to Egyptian Arabic?
This is a great series almost 4 hours long I took breaks only because it's pretty intense but it's very well laid out and she explains it well actually know the timeline now of what happened to Egypt!! Thank you Joanne you know your stuff! I also saw stuff in this series that I never seen before and I thought I'd seen a lot but their stuff that she got access to that people don't get access to... Really good I would recommend this to anybody that likes ancient Egypt
This is so intriguing and beautiful! It's such a shame that this world has forgotten so much of its history. The new generations are slowly losing interest in this beautiful part of life on earth and its very very depressing
I am absolutely in LOVE with this series! In college, I did my art appreciation thesis on, "The Art of Mummification," and painted literal giant scrolls I unwound, pinned to the wall, explained how it was an Artform unto itself! Us students were grading each other, so you know that they all gave me Fs. She marked them all out, gave me an A+ And what do I paint with today? Yes - what they Egyptians used! NOTHING beats Lapis Lazuli, as it twinkles, I add on the earth pigments from there. I've been enjoying buying or hand grinding my own pigments, from watercolours to oils! Yes, cautious about what works, doesn't work together, but I must always go back to my love of ancient egypt. Helped me to spot a forgery in the Louvre, that all the experts insisted was real. Anatomical goof is blatant, if you take off your rose colored glasses. When people make up excuses, they are wrong.

Yes but she did not tell the truth that the truth Egyptians were black and built the pyramids, but we will never hear the truth
@@stinksterrekerinski4450 What a nasty person you are. You should be ashamed. Instead of berating someone for believing this documentary in it's entirety, why not educate them with your facts and knowledge. Instead of just name calling?
Hands down the best Egyptian history 101 video, but with such rich details that will delight those who are already somewhat familiar with the 101’s
I would love to travel with professor Fletcher to any archaeological site in or around Egypt, but especially those associated with the earliest sites of the old kingdom. Her passion and love for Egyptian history is so strongly evident in this video!

Poor fletcher she picked the worst career for her lack of melanin . That umbrella is like putting a band aide on a bullet wound. A career in like Antarctica would of been more skin friemdly for her.
Yeah, she’s great.
Her reaction when she saw the head of amenahotp(spelling?) under the cloth was fantastic. Reminded me of someone’s reaction to being asked to marry their lover. Though I think she’s more excited than any lover could ever be lol. Just sitting there alone afterwards staring in awe.
I generally have less than zero interest in ancient Egyptian relics but her passion for the subject and the way she tells the stories of their culture and beliefs is so engaging.
This was made last year? Complete BS!
Do you know how many books on the subject I have moved from the history section to the fiction section in my library in the last 20 years? Just about all of them! I am not even 2 min into this "documentary" by a so called "PhD of archeology" and everything she opens with is a lie, because I assume that she is educated well enough to know that everything she just said has been discredited for over a decade already.
@@Killer_snail i😮😢i 😢😢😂
I don't know how this came up on my TH-cam but I watched it through. You all must have spent an age constructing this. Brilliant. Thank you for your great effort. I just wanted to say how appreciated this effort is. Looking at this history of Egypt makes one realise how small each of us in terms of time and the universe.

They are lying in the 1st 1.5 mins by saying a pharaoh was buried in the pyramids
No one has ever been found in any of the pyramids
This lady is a walking encyclopedia for Egyptian history. I absolutely adore her stories and learning from her videos.
Thank you Dr. Fletcher and crew for this deep dive into the origins of Ancient Egypt. I woke up to this video and became completely mesmerized by this wonderful presentation.
Oh, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HISTORY !
THANK YOU, ODYSSEY
FOR SUCH AN INDEPTH
EGYPTIAN - DOCUMENTARY..
It's actually a BBC documentary. This channel just has the rights to show it.
Absolutely brilliant. I, like many, had only heard the highlights. It is fascinating to see a full timeline. Thank you. A great documentary.
I love her so much, I love Egypt too. Learning all of these things, knowing that there are so much more out there to discover, it's so exciting... I'd give anything to be able to be a part of it. Just incredible!
Her enthusiasm is so contagious
And what an exciting life
The people unwrapping the past and trying to understand our history are the true heroes of modern humanity explaining our stories and why we came to be . Truly amazing we have no idea how the pyramids where built and just how smart our forefathers actually where !
Soo grateful for this beautiful image, music, and comprehensive explanation by Prof. Fletcher
This video is an explosion of passion
love it, I was repeat it again and again
I love watching Prof.Joanne Fletcher and listening to het talk about the lives of the ancient egypts is amazing, i could just imagine how they lived their lives. Their work their home lives the games they played the food they ate, you can just picture it in your mind, she is amazing i would have loved to have her as one of my professors when i was in university.
Me too
She lost me with her feminist garbage. But, makes sense she never had a family or kids and was born in 66.
I fell in love with all things Ancient Egyptian when I was 9 and my school teacher introduced my class to the basics. Since then I’ve tried to read and watch everything I can find on the subject. Joann Fletcher has deepened my interest and understanding of Ancient Egypt. Thank you for making this marvelous video available.
I never used to be particularly interested in Egyptian history. Until I first saw one of her documentaries. Since then, I have been well and truly hooked ❤️
,,,,, 2
me too.
Good for her. She’s pursuing something she loves and finally getting recognized. A bunch of work that is an understatement. I hope your eating descently!
I found your channel through Mr Ballen and since then you have been a breath of air in a suffocating media world. Living in the Pacific Northwest and talking to volunteer search/rescue people first made me aware of unexplained disappearances in the '80's.
Which of Mr Ballen's videos brought you here? His channel is my favorite on TH-cam. I saw the one about Dorothy Eady. So, he has another Egyptian story? I must watch it. :o
The one where Mr Ballen explains that he had used loads of David Paulides' material to create his own stories.
I just realized now that I commented to you instead of David Paulides'. DUH. I had your channel open at the time. Ive watched everything you have put out. Some of it twice.
Dr Fletcher has such enthusiasm and passion for her subject. Could listen to her lectures all day!
I absolutely love this archaeologist she has such a beautiful intellect on top of the fact that she loves what she does and is somebody that did not have the resources to become an archaeologist and do what I love it's wonderful to see somebody that can do it and share it with people like me thank you madam we appreciate your hard work

Love her commentary, nice to see a presenter with a Northern accent. Make us feel at home, plus she is so engaging. She really makes it exciting and intriguing watch.
"Flippin' 'eck" :D
This is so beautifully done. I have gone to Israel and seen so much. Now I want to go to Egypt. Thank you for showing us all this great history.
I wonder why she bo bothered calling what was called "Canaan" with the much much newer name "Palestine". To me this faults her entire presentation.
It's either she's keeping it historically correct or something else
@@ponyclub3198 I agree, the name Palestine was fom the Roman period. Canaan was used in the ancient world.
What an amazing documentary! Much gratitude to all who made this, all of the sound and visuals were lovely, and of course Dr.Fletcher for an engaging presentation of one of the greatest cultures.
Dr. Fletcher's enthusiasm and passion make this great documentary greater still. What an engaging host!
I'm only 30 minutes into this story of Egypt and I just HAVE to say, that I was lucky enough to go to the great exhibition of Egyptian artifacts in San Francisco. This was when exhibitions went all over the world so we, who couldn't get to Egypt, could gaze in wonder at that which is Egypt. I stood in front of the iconic golden mask of King Tutankhamun, no further away than one foot! I witnessed mummies. I was close enough to see their eyelashes and fingernails. I saw their jewelry, pottery, statues that were so highly polished that you could see your reflection as clearly as if it were glass. One of the most breathtaking things I saw were the hieroglyphics beautifully displayed for viewing. I could go on and on, but I want to get back to this video.
Beautiful to read your experience, I felt your words and wonder. I also had the pleasure of experiencing Egyptian artifacts in the Museum of Natural History in New York City , I was much younger than but you brought it all back as well as this magical woman . 👏🙏♥️
I saw that exhibition too in Memphis, TN. Astounding!!
Saw it in Chicago, Illinois.
The host is so passionate...
When passion meets since, something beautiful emerges 💛
Professor Joann Fletcher is one of The Best Egyptologists around, her inspiration for this fascinating subject. If I could go back in time and just watch without being seen by the locals then I would have gone back to the time of the Egyptians and pharaohs. I’m sure that I would not have been alone as a lot more people would go back to watch the splender of the Egyptian people. Thanks to Joann Fletcher for the brilliant documentary about the history of the people. Thank you….Phil
Ye nice try. Fabricated bs
What a treat! Thank you for uploading this!
I fell asleep watching this and had a dream where I visited Egypt with my sister and as we walked around the ancient monuments in the present day we were given a VR headset that we could wear that was perfectly mapped to the outside world and showed you what Egypt looked like at the time of the pharaohs. It was beautiful. Huge stone buildings and temples, lush green pastures in which cattle grazed. It was so amazing. Thank you for such sweet dreams.
What a vivid imagination you have, excellent.
@@jimmydcricket5893 Thank you!
Damn im kinda jealous. They should really create a VR experience like that!!
I fell asleep to this and had vivid dreams as well!
I love the narrator and host. She makes this incredibly interesting. Really great series!
joann fletchers knowledge and passion is so addictive , love watching all her documentaries , well done
To be able to learn from you online through your videos is a delight. To ever be able to meet such a renown Archiologist as your self would be a true dream come true. Yet to tread in your footsteps would be the most humbling of things not within my ability. Ms. Fletcher you dear lady are what I have wanted to do all my life, to walk in and learn about Egypt first hand would be my dreams and desires come true. Regretfully my old school parents thought that Archiology was not a sufficient way to support myself as a woman.
What that’s insane! Always chase your dreams! I’m surprised they would say that it’s not like you were trying to get into art
I think that you meant ARCHAEOLOGIST
Magnificent Documentary.....
I didn't blink for around 4 hours....
Egypt is LOVE♥️
cringeee
I think if you can work on uncovering history with a person like Dr. Fletcher, work will never ever feel like work. It'll be a passion project from the beginning to the end.
So true, everyday with Professor F. would seem like real life Indian Jones/ The Magic School Bus!
Awww my grandma passed a few months ago and we used to always watch her documentaries together since I was really young 😭💜
I'd really love to see these kind of Golden videos in the future but talking about Ancient Greek History.
Wow but not enough to put this in words 😳 2:30:05 such an honour to witness such ancient history. It always gives me chill seeing and hearing Tutankhamun this about His tomb. Thank you for this Documentary
In my book Joann Fletcher is to Ancient Egypt wat Mary Beard is to Ancient Rome and Eleanor Janega is to Medieval England. All three are first class story tellers
Yes
I agree all three are brilliant. It saddens me to see how often folks comment on their looks though. Not really something male historians have to deal with.
@@denisecampbell3416 especially since looks aint got a damn thing to do with it. When someone brings that up it's because they don't have anything else to discredit them
this was amazing, Joann Fletcher's explaining the timeline with her passion, all came together for me "Thank You" many warm hugs to Fletcher🥰
Love Joann she's just fascinating to watch. Her passion for this subject keeps me captivated. X
Love this lady. Her knowledge and enthusiasm is infectious.
Wow Thak you sooo much for creating such a master class and make it accessibke to everyone. I am attracted to Egypt's history and tradtion since I was almost a child. This video takes you through Egypt's history showing you real monuments and the land. Egypt is definetely in my list of places to visit next.
Proud to be Egyptian, proud of my history, my civilization and my ancestors 🤩❤️
AFRICANS FROM KEMET, NUBIANS. EGYPTIAN IS A FRAUD. A COLONIAL GREEK WORD. YOU ARE ARABS. INVADERS
@@judaprinxbeatz.8008 Egyptians were coptics and still exist till this day, when Arabs came, some of them converted to Islam... Aswan and Nuba are in Egypt, so I don't know what are you talking about... Egypt is in North Africa, that doesn't mean that all its people should be black... if thats so, why Mid or South Africa doesn't have its own civilization there... where are you from, I am not even egyptian but I swear to God I started really hating these black foolish Afro-centric people
@@judaprinxbeatz.8008On the contrary, black Africans have nothing to do with the ancient Egyptian civilization. Only the Nuba ruled for nearly 80 years in the Twenty-fifth Dynasty, and they were Nubian Egyptians and not sub-Saharan Africans. 😃👍
@@deadlyechoThe Afrocentric goal was from the beginning to educate their children about civilization in West Africa, but the topic turned into blackening all the world's civilizations.🤷🏻🤷🏻
@@hemakoyagy You're not an Egyptian you the descendants of the arabs that ruled over egypt.
You people try to erase Ancient Egyptians were black. Before the Roman invasion. And before the arab invasion.
Ancient Egyptian Were black.
Egypt has had Five black pharaohs. The first pharaoh was black. During his reign as pharaoh over egypt the pyramids were constructed and built
Joanne Fletcher has to be one of the coolest and reddest historians. Great docs!
Amazing what modern hair coloring can do!😅
I noticed she and one of the other Egyptologists had the same hair color. I like it too.
@@freetolook3727 - What do you know that we don't? She has been a pale red-head forever.
@@MossyMozart I reckon Paul means her red face!!
I Love Prof. Fletcher's dedication. Such a remarkable Spirit!
Fantastic job! Informative and entertaining. I feel as though I stepped back in time. The work the ancient did is remarkable and daunting.
U know they ised reinforcement bars in their statues? And the stones are cast?
Amazing, awesome, incredible, this lady gives a story that makes you feel you are there, she is so passionate about her long of Egypt and the ancient lives... Love her to bits
This is one of the great video on Egyptian culture...
I can watch and listen to Joanne Fletcher all day!
I love professor Fletcher these Egypt videos are my favorite series on TH-cam
She's one of the best educators that keeps your attention and eager to learn more!!👏👏👏
I love Professor Fletcher's enthusiasm and respect for the Ancient Egyptians.
Hate to break the news to her these Pyramid's were built thousands of years before the time she states, and Kufu had about as much to do with building them I did...Oh wait don't forget the copper chisels and rolling pins 🤣
Are Egyptians not Africans as Egypt is located North of Africa?
@@emtee5232 Its north africa
@@emtee5232 Egyptians consider themselves Arab, not Africans.

Amazing documentary, absolutely recommended to anyone passionate about the history! Many thanks to the author.
Long live Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬 proud of my ancestors,,
I will give you a thumbs up friend. The other people on the thread are her for the white woman.
They’re not your ancestors. Not the ones who built and founded “Egypt” at least. Your ancestors came from the east. Same as they did in Constantinople. Now Istanbul.

I'm blown away by this documentary. Just a big big thank you.
I'd kill to have a walk through (insert ancient Egyptian archeological site here) with Prof Fletcher. Her genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of the dynasties is insurmountable and rubs off on people. Shes one of my favorites hope to meet her one day.
well aren't you a fool.
thou shalt no kill; i should stop this if it makes u feel like putin.
not,

Fantastic! Thank you so much for such wonderful knowledge!
In my 53 years, I've never watched a more riveting narrator.
This Is Amazing Documentary of Ancient Egypt. I am Truly FASCINATED :)
Very well done and you seem to have such passion for this culture, as I do, too. It was magnificent. I could easily watch 40 more hours of these excavations, history and culture. Thank you.
She told me tell you thank you
Dr. Fletcher captivates me with every word and every emotion. I feel Ancient Egypt in my soul and all that I am. Dr. Fletcher ascends to a level that no other mortal parallels. If I were ever blessed to be able to travel to this magnificent place, the only thing that would make it even better would be to be able to meet Dr. Fletcher there, and possibly visit the Great Pyramid with her or a temple. How amazing that would be. A girl can dream...
Thank you Dr. Fletcher for all that you do. You do it with such passion and grace.
@@CanvasJules Your too easy
According to Dr Daniel Jackson it's pronounced Ab-i-dos 😁
Simply the best prof. Fletcher!
Thank you so much for so eloquently Sharing your knowledge of ancient Egypt, it is obviously your passion and it shines through and has made my day....” you can turn the rain off now!” 😄😄😄
You did a remarkable job on this documentary. Emotional even
Thank you Professor Fletcher! Your passion on the subject truly brings the journey to life.
@백지현 nah go looks its all fake there's no pyramids and history is a lie "sarcasm"
A good documentary that let us down at the end. Joann and the producers did such a good job describing the characteristics of each era of ancient Egyptian politics and faith, and then just left it at "well, here come the Romans, so let's just skip to how the British Empire rediscovered ancient Egypt and did a service to everyone." When were the last hieroglyphs carved? Did the Romans not assimilate into Egyptian culture? How similar is the ancient Egyptian spoken language to Egyptian Arabic?
I love her narration so much!!!
This is a great series almost 4 hours long I took breaks only because it's pretty intense but it's very well laid out and she explains it well actually know the timeline now of what happened to Egypt!!
Thank you Joanne you know your stuff! I also saw stuff in this series that I never seen before and I thought I'd seen a lot but their stuff that she got access to that people don't get access to... Really good I would recommend this to anybody that likes ancient Egypt
Through the whole video i just wished it didnt finish. Great documental!
"Give the land rest" advice the whole world needs to follow
Nicely done. Every effort that the team has done, turned this video in to a masterpiece. Very good editing. 🎉❤
One of the best documentaries on Egyptian history.
What a great four-hour presentation. Never got bored.
This is so intriguing and beautiful! It's such a shame that this world has forgotten so much of its history. The new generations are slowly losing interest in this beautiful part of life on earth and its very very depressing

I am absolutely in LOVE with this series! In college, I did my art appreciation thesis on, "The Art of Mummification," and painted literal giant scrolls I unwound, pinned to the wall, explained how it was an Artform unto itself! Us students were grading each other, so you know that they all gave me Fs. She marked them all out, gave me an A+ And what do I paint with today?
Yes - what they Egyptians used! NOTHING beats Lapis Lazuli, as it twinkles, I add on the earth pigments from there. I've been enjoying buying or hand grinding my own pigments, from watercolours to oils! Yes, cautious about what works, doesn't work together, but I must always go back to my love of ancient egypt. Helped me to spot a forgery in the Louvre, that all the experts insisted was real. Anatomical goof is blatant, if you take off your rose colored glasses. When people make up excuses, they are wrong.
