thank you!
None of them were white
For me Amarna period is one of the most fascinating historical periods in sense of art. It appears that this period gave craftsmen the freedom of artistic expression which allowed them to create "realistic" sculptures. And the bust of Nefertiti is one of my the most favorite pieces of the Egyptian art.
That's a great point. Amarna period art is probably the most beautiful art from all of ancient Egyptian history.
@@HistoryExplained I learned of the Nefertiti and Akhenaten in 1954 through watching the film "" The Egyptian", with all it faults I still watch it now, I have been fascinated in ancient Egypt ever since, traying to connect Biblical text to the chronology of the Pharaohs involved, watched many documents, by so called experts. Yes the 18th dynasty was the most interesting, fascinating talked about period of ancient Egypt
I agree
History is very important. I do appreciate getting Revelations of the possible circumstances at the time. It reminds me also of Archeology findings just recently. It tends to tie in. Thankyou for sharing.
The bust of Nefertiti may be a forgery but the museum where its held won't allow scientists to conduct tests and put the speculation to rest. It would be unfortunate if it was discovered that the most famous bust in the world was a fake but considering that ancient Egyptian art is not known for naturalistic depictions it is a possibility.
There's so many gaps in our knowledge due to fragmentary sources from the Amarna period. It'd be great to find just even a little about what really happened during Nefertiti's life. Who she was, where she came from, and if she really did become the singular ruler of Egypt after Akhenaten's death. It's fun to speculate. Thanks for the video.
I agree! There's so much unknown info behind figures from so long ago!
She believed in monotheism. The only creator of the universe
Despite enthusiasm for Akhenaten and Nefertiti as the first monotheists, it has become increasingly clear that the only monotheistic god being worshiped in Akhentaten was Akhenaten and many of the residents were abused, starved, and worked to death very young. He may have been hated for very good reason.
We don’t know where she came from, who her parents were, or if she did become Akhenaten’s heir. Unless somebody discovers ancient writings, new tombs, etc. we won’t know. Actually we know more about the so called Amarna period- the town was named Akhetaten - than other Egyptian periods. Egyptians almost always used titles and ancestors and other information to advertise important people in their tombs or when they were mentioned. If you were a kings daughter or your father was an important person you wanted that known. If you didn’t mention any such thing, you probably weren’t anyone important. I suspect Amonhotep lll, who had hundreds of women from many other countries in his numerous harems, probably brought one of the most beautiful to his court-attractive women were called ornaments of the court and decorated the palace with their presence. She was probably a pretty face, but one who was clever as well, and made the most of her thrall over a rather unattractive man, the son of the pharaoh. We may never know who she was, but if she is KV21B, she was probably murdered in a coup with her daughter Ankhesenamon. DNA tells us KV21A was the mother of the fetuses found in Tutankhamen’s tomb and most likely Ankhesenamon, and the closely related older woman found with her either a sister or mother, and since she was too old to be a sister, mother fits better. Nefertiti was Ankhesenamon’s mother. KV21B is the best candidate for Nefertiti. Read Dennis Forbes excellent book, ‘Bones in a Basket’ and look up KV21B for more information.
Well, you could blame the Priests of Caenac for that lack of records of the Amarna royalties... After the death of Tutenkhamun, the priest erased their records so that they will not be remembered by the future generations, as they're heretics of the main religion of Ancient Egypt....
I find it criminal that Hollywood has produced so many movies about Cleopatra yet hardly any about other famous Egyptian women like Nefertiti and Hatshepsut.
Edit: My original post was just an observation and not intended to spark a race debate down in the comments. Lol
cleo was white sooo yeah
Celo was Greek (white)
@@tonezchannel1711 I know. I meant Egyptian in the sense that she was born and raised there as well as spoke the language.
@@swnerd-2320 I think she was brought there
There’s a series about hepshetsup
Hatshepsut will always be better in my opinion but Nefertiti was still pretty awesome 👏🏽
I understand and agree. Hatshepsut's reign of over twenty years is mindblowingly impressive. A women ruling over all men in the most powerful empire on Earth at the time for so long is simply remarkable! Not to mention that she was actually one of the most accomplished pharaohs of all time as well...🤯
Neffretti better
Hatshepsut ruled an empire with almost zero wars
Nefertiti was the wife of a mad man who lost the kingdom
@@shakalalalalkh1098 neffretti still the prettiest queen of ancient Egypt
@@wisediva1490 hard to disagree
As an Egyptology student (first) and Egyptian (Second) , I have to say that every line is completely on point, and I frickin love this channel
Thank you!
You people are full of crap that bust of nefertiti is a fake that not her she was not of European origin at all stop lying people the only thing white people did was the destruction of ancient kemet are what u call Egypt
Why would an Egyptian need to even study Egyptology?
Further, why would you put "student of Egyptology" in a rank of importance over actually being an Egyptian?
I'm just incredibly confused by this, and then the "fricken" that's a very American term.
Strange.
@@glennblair145 why would he put "student of Egytology" first, as if it signifies importance over actually being an Egyptian?
I'm not sure he's being honest.
@@please.665 yea he lying nothing he said is true
I love how history is explained on your channel so easy to understand 😍. Take care!
I appreciate that very much!
Just finished watching and i absolutely loved it 🥰
Excited for future videos 🤗
I’m happy you enjoyed it! Thank you Kayleigh 😊
hii beb
You are back!!!! Nice to see a new video from you!!!!!
Thank you!
@@HistoryExplained No, thank YOU.
I Love Nefertiti! She was beautiful and kind-hearted. Bad people hate and envy beautiful people with good souls.
I can really understand everything the narrator is saying!! And the History comes alive for me!! Thank You 💕💕💕
Glad to hear.
Just discovered your channel yesterday and by now I've already seen all of your videos! I really like the quality and quantity of informations. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
This channel needs more than 29K subs
Thanks!
@@HistoryExplained my theory is that your current type of content that you cover is not popular enough with the masses for it to be recommended in their feeds. My advice is to have patience and continue doing them, as Roman history has been getting a lot of popularity lately on TH-cam and you aren't far from it
A fantastic, informative video, as always.
Thank you James.
Omg !! I can’t believe how lucky I feel to find this channel !! Thank you so much !!
I happy to hear that :)
another great vid!
Thank you! Our channel concepts are very similar. I really like the artwork in your videos! Good luck!
@@HistoryExplained Thank you! I will be continuing to follow your journey!
Just stumbled across this channel! Awesome videos honestly 👏 Looking forward to seeing more :)
Thank you so much!
Great job, as always. Thanks ,😊
Thanks Bishop!
Another fantastic video. You do an excellent work of making these both fascinating, easy to follow, and detailed.
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for your support Akernis!
Finally a new video! Dude, I adore ur content 💞❤️
That means a lot! Thank you!
Woot!!
😄
Magnificent History of Egypt Thanks for Sharing 💚🌅🌠
You’re very welcome Fatima :)
I like her hat...more women should wear those
I agree haha
It is her crown not hat
If they African they can wear it. Not anyone else or else that would be cultural appropriation
@@melanated6703 specifically, people of Egypt
It's to cover her alien head. She's got a conehead.
I wish you made many more videos on this channel. The quality of your videos is outstanding.
This is an incredible overview of ancient Egypt’s entire history! You’re a huge inspiration to Us!
Love your channel…..very informative!
I appreciate that Kerry
Nice video man, I really like you narration. Do you intend in the future to do more generals subjects of ancient time ? There aren't many youtubers on the bronze age period.
Anyway, have a nice day !
Thanks Thomas! The voice actor Christian H. Miles is so incredibly talented and his narrations are a major reason why this channel has seen the level of success it has! I'm so thankful to him! I listed the next 10 figures I'll be covering in a recent community post. My plan is to keep the order chronological for as long as possible.
Nice animations and graphics of the notables in question. A lot of work went into this and it paid off wonderfully, it was quite captivating and very watchable.
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
Wow!! Good Come across this channel, love it😍
Thank you Mercy!
Another great video. Thank you.
Appreciate that John.
Keep making great videos
Great video!
Thank you Rob!
Great video!
Another nice 10 minute mark. 👌
Thank you! It's so frustrating having that extra 1 second in th final time. I still haven't figured why it's happening. In Premiere Pro it shows 10:00, but on YT it shows 10:01... 😑
@@HistoryExplained I think TH-cam always does that. Maybe try do 9:59 video next time then.
@@deteon1418 yea you’re right.
Ahhh!! Can’t believe I woke up to a new vid from my pal History Explained! Super awesome video as always my friend. You always pack so much info and history into each one. Well done 👍
Thanks so much Tim!
Well done sir! This was very entertaining
I'm happy to hear that!
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS VID 😊💕
I love your videos, with they would come out more often
I really appreciate that. I hope to increase the frequency going forward.
wow! This is so well done!
Thank you so much!
Another incredible video. Keep it up friend
I appreciate that! Thanks Mica!
@@HistoryExplained you're welcome. Keep it up
Loved the video very informative
Thanks Brittany!
Nefertit's story ws beautifully told; thank you so much. What a difficult time it must have been!
I’m happy you enjoyed it Edie.
I am truly Loving Your Work!
I really appreciate that!
You mentioned they haven't found her tomb but several mummies have been found that Egyptologists believe could be her...
Thanks for sharing!
She or her children probably arranged for her body to be hidden or disguised as a servant of some sort.
Yes, kv21-a and kv21-b. I have long maintained kv21-b is Nefertiti and now apparently Hawass has figured this out and gearing up to take total credit. What else is new?
@@cathaymcrae2401 read a bit on the annunaki- it's all a bit of a conspiracy but it may ne why her dna and those of many mummies have not be tested
Awesome video, the quality is on point as always!
Also, you'll hit 30k soon, congrats ✌
It is remarkable how much time you take to make the videos perfect, this will make your channel succeed in the long run!
Thank you very much my friend. I greatly appreciate your encouragement and support!
@@HistoryExplained no problem 🤜🤛
I was subscribed you channel by seeing one vedio. I liked your depict very much. Plz do more on egypt.....
I appreciate that!
This video was very interesting and informative; I learned a lot about this incredible figure, so thank you very much for uploading this :) It is believed that her mummy *may* have been found but I'm not sure... Hatshepsut *(the pharaoh AND the picture XD)* is still my favourite 😎Keep up the great work, guys!
I appreciate you writing this and am happy you found it informative. I’ve been anticipating the announcement of her discovery :)
Man this is top notch work
Thank you so much!
Excellent video ❤
Excellent presentation 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks very much!
The Tut exhibit stopped in Minneapolis a few years ago. I noticed that, on a large statue of Atkenat....his ears are pointed, almost like a Vulcan.
Very cool! Yea Akhenaten was the most alien looking pharaoh by far
great video😍😍😍
Thank you Benjamin! 😃
I hope u make videos along with the list of the kings of egypt, it will be easy to understand king before or after.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@HistoryExplained you are awesome
He’s back!
Thanks for your patience Kasey!
Excellent!
Thank you Veridiana!
An excellent presentation.
Thank you Herman!
great video.
I appreciate it Wardale
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you!
I wonder if we will ever find her tomb.
Me too. That would be such an incredible discovery!
The dead should be left alone. It’s not within our rights to open her tomb.
Amazing information 👌
Thank you Courtney!
The fact that this video and channel in general does not have millions of views, infuriates me beyond words. The background music is epic, the content legendary! I'm seriously salty.
Thank you Jordan!
Not everyone is interested in Ancient Egypt. It's the home for The Muslims, stemming from Abraham's servent Hagar and their son Ishmael. Christianity views Ancient Egypt as idolatrous.
They were the coolest king and queen to this day .
I agree! A very unique duo to be sure!
I heard your voice and immediately I had the image of you spring to my mind. How many channels do you narrate for?
I hire him to narrate my videos
We watched your video in my school during our Egyptian unit. Btw I request you make a video about the history of King Tutankhamen.
Hey @HistoryExplained, what is the great music when the channel icon spartan taps his foot on the ground?
I actually have the info on my 2nf laptop. I’ll find out & let ya kno :)
I love queen Nefertiti. Your videos too
Thank you Walid!
These names though… I love them. They sound so empowered, so entitled, so so so NEFERTITI..
Glad you love them :)
Interesting video

That's how I feel about ancient Egyptian history :)
She will always be my favourite Egyptian queen.
Thanks for watching
Very interesting🤩
Thank you Krisna
My neighbor named one of her cats Nefertiti and it's not hard to see why. She's a boss!
That’s a cool name. I volunteer cat rescue and awhile back one of ur female black cats was named that
Very cool!
Isn't high princess supposed to be a spiritual teacher , highly educated in all the subjects of that era? She is the female counterpart of priest and is advicer and councillor to the king in managing law and order of the land, astrology or reading the almanac, etc. She is supposed to have the knowledge of the stars, movement of water bodies, philosophy. She is seen with a crown of moon, a septor indicating her position and the tora which is the list of all the laws of that land. And High Priestess is usually the sister of pharaoh . High Priestesses don't marry . They are considered to possess divine knowledge of the Universe. We can still find remains of ancient temples of these spiritual figures. How is Nefertiti a High Priestess? She was the Queen Mother of a pharaoh who died of probably some disease when he was 16 or 17 years old. Nefertiti's husband died when Tutenkhamen was still an infant. So Nefertiti had to rule untill he was old enough to be the king. It is said that many people died due to some mysterious disease and Nefertiti's complete family died of that disease. In order to protect afterlife of the young pharaoh, Tutenkhamen, a secret curse was written on the coffin. It was a warning that whoso ever disturbed the Pharaoh's body would die. Ancient Egyptians believed that life exists after death.
Before this Era they ruled together patriarchy show up and now here we all are. Unbalanced. No one knowing the Goddess thereby not knowing the holey spirit. May she ever rest on God's smile... Ashe. May all be uncoverd and the children have peace.
just got to know abt this channel..and i love the way of explaining the details point to point..amazing..ill sub u now itself and watch more videos of urs..history is already fun for me but this way is more better..thank you and keep making more..

Brilliant!
Thanks Marian
Another excellent presentation, thank you so much!
I agree, this is a fascinating time in Egypt's history...I need to get the wayback machine perfected...lol
Yea the Amarna period is one of the most interesting periods in all of Egyptian history! Thanks for your continued support Steve. I really appreciate you commenting on each of my videos!
@@HistoryExplained You are welcome, the quality and content of your videos is wonderful.
It was a very nice treat to see this one this morning.
Thank you for all your hard work.
She's the most famous Egyptian royal. Lots of mysteries surround her making her a lot more interesting. Waiting for her tomb to be discovered. Some even suggest she had alien origin.
LEAVE HER TOMB ALONEE 😭
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
Thank you for watching Lynn!
Nefertiti and Hatshepsut are two remarkable women. I really admire their intelligence and strength. Two feminist icons IMO.
I agree Leticia!
@@HistoryExplained Cleopatra was the first Egyptian queen to have sex appeal she was Marilyn Monroe and the singer Sade thounds of years before marylin & Sade was born
If intelligence and strength then not feminist ;)
They weren’t feminist, yuck
One of the historic strongest and most beautiful woman
I agree!
6:00 got me building a time machine
😆
Nefertiti is one of my favourite ancient egyptian queens I have books 4 replicas of her bust and a copy of another head of here she is the main reason why I'm interested in Egyptian history
Very cool. Thanks for sharing David
Germany and the US literally said “finders keepers”
Hehe yea exactly
Finally, having the Egyptian people look like the Egyptian people!! Great video.
No disrespect to the naive masses, but we have been White washed. And to be Infinitely honest, we should all be one!!! Not all White, Black people , and any other type of person are Racist. Damn just Imagine if we were color blind. Shit, This world would be a better place. PLEASE EVERYONE!!!! Just deal and judge people on their energy!!! Not by their complexion or Skin tone!!! Shit is Real. For Everyone!!!
As an Egyptian, I don't think these look lole the ancient Egyptians depicted on the walls of tombs and temples
I think they do…their lips aren’t as full as the busts and wall images but close.
these are amazing. please do one on ashoka or prince siddartha
Sure
Wow this video is fantastic. Every line is a point. Your channel deserve more subscriber. According to my account your channel is the best channel on TH-cam I liked your channel very much. Your channel is my favourite .I liked your all videos. Please keep up this type of work in future please. Your all videos are stunning. I am your old subscriber from 500 subs
But can you please make a video on Skanderbeg?
