it wasn't ahead of its time, the other cultures regressed, at some point all the civilization of the bronze era fell, then Egypt got kind of stucked, then Grece appear, then Rome, and again all went to shit again after Rome fell, and we entered the dark era, knowledge was lost and old healthy customs, the new generations, weren't that much intelligent, that is way too much ignorance produced unhealthy customs, only a few were scholars, but mostly monks at monasteries, where they collected books, once science return with the Renaissance, things started to return, we reached Egypt level of culture, well kind of, some other bad habits prevailed, like the treatment of women, torture, etc, etc, but mostly we started to be better, now we surpassed our ancestors, though we have forgotten some ancient technology yet, not useful now, but that were in the past.
@@sheronedge6723 Nope, The ancient Egyptians started out black. What you see now are the descendents of invaders. It's like visiting the USA and saying only mixture of races EVER existed there. When we know that Native Americans started out in the USA. When you look at many ancient Egyptian walls you see Dark and brown skin people. You can find this with a simple search, also Egypt is in Africa. That's like saying European people have ALWAYS been in South Africa. I think most people have a problem with most ancient Egyptians being black because Ancient Egypt was so advance. I think there is a cognitive dissonance whenever people encounter an advance black civilization. This is not to say that much later generation of Egyptians didn't mix races, which in turn gave us later painting of lighter complexion Egyptians , but the roots of Egypt are black.
Another fun fact Egyptians used moldy bread to heal severe cuts and wounds. Because moldy bread contains penicillin. They were way ahead of there time. I would not suggest trying this at home.
Your comment is utter shit. MEDIEVAL Europe is in a MEDIEVAL AGE , while Egypt (in this video) is in ANCIENT ,you cant compare them or somehow conne t.
Medieval Europe was factually the dumbest foulest, nastiest, most violent society in all of human history....so much for IQ. Meanwhile dark brown hamitic east African tropical people, the Egyptians started the sciences that would later be brought by Romans and later arabs and Maghreb Moors to bring Europeans out of the dark ages.
I can totally relate. I feel the same about India. Ancient India sounds similar to ancient Egypt. I blame all the foreign invasions for the loss for both countries
Wilfy Martinez arab is a culture. The people did not change. In fact one of the biggest invasions anicent egypts faced was the bantus. Black people were not even in the area of the continent until around 1000 bc, nearly 3000 years late. Ancient egyptians were haplogroup e1b1b1a, which is a descendant of DE, which is west asian.
lol yeah,you were amazing,even making one of the most beautiful and mysterious world wonders ( the pyramids) and now you're a shitty filthy country that no one cares about
Kananda Almeida lol the discovery of fire and maybe mythology tbh. There wouldn’t have been much history to learn outside of past pharaohs and stories of war.
Kananda Almeida There were most likely no real “history classes” like today, but instead most people at the time in Egypt believed in mostly mythical origin stories that have been passed down for generations. But if we were talking about the Late Kingdom after the first millennium BC where Egypt had a long and lengthy history by that point, then probably many educated people would have heard about the “great Ramses” or the many other Pharaohs that had been well-known that have ruled many centuries before them. I am sure as well that they have kept track of the history of the old Pyramids through stories and mythical tales surrounding those who have been buried in the tombs.
Government provided healthcare is scary. It means the rulers hand will be in your bank account to whatever extent he or she seems fit. This understanding is part of what has allowed America to thrive. If you could live in either modern America or Ancient Egypt which would you choose?
@@croakingfrog3173 lmao the rest of the modern world has thrived with tax paid healthcare. Tax paid by americans isn't that much diff. From those with public health care system. If only America cuts down a small percentage of tax that goes to the military then that type of healthcare is possible
If Egypt wasn’t so hot, I would take their lifestyle over any Medieval Era. As a I kid, I always loved learning about ancient Egyptians. They seem so cool.
Ancient Egypt, by far, would be better living in than Medieval times. In fact worshipping cats, dogs, crocs and other animals seems to be something I would find solace in considering the mythos that shrouds Ancient Egypt is barely discussed.
I don't know what inspired you, but when I was a kid in the seventies, the "King Tut" exhibit was touring the U.S. There were countless TV specials about "Tut" at that time. That's what fascinated me. I don't remember in which city I saw the exhibit, but this little boy was blown away. On a side note, if you are a fan of Downton Abbey, you probably know that the exterior shots, and most of the interior shots were filmed at Lord Canarvans castle. The man who financed carters 1922 epedition.
@@katenka_ana3997 You probably know, that mummification wasn't reserved for the wealthy. Mummies were so plentiful that they were burned in the boilers of trains in the 1800's. I think that's more disturbing than the mummies themselves. The Brit's always had such a high regard for other cultures. Then, not now of course.
"Men and women enjoyed equality under the law" Well, it pains me to say that centuries later, Egypt went backward and women aren't equal here anymore....
Excuse me for not being knowledgeable on the subject, but how are women treated now in your country? I'm assuming you live in Egypt by your comment, so could you enlighten me?
I don't want to make it seem like women in Egypt are the most oppressed women in the world, but the Egyptian society is male-dominated and treats women as second class citizens. And the worst part is : people here - even women - don't even realize how disgusting and unfair it is. Feminism was clearly described as "an American ideology wrongfully applied to the Egyptian society" People wrongfully interpret Islam and use their biased opinions as tools to control women. Considering the fact that women are legally obliged to present virginity tests for marriage and certain jobs. And abortions are illegal.
@@aidmcnade2951 I lived in the United States for a long time when I was younger, I'm not saying that the American Society is perfect - it's far from it actually - but I didn't grow up thinking that I was less for being a girl. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a pretty positive environment back then. Mostly because I was under my parent's protection and everything was filtered for me. And when I returned to Egypt for the first time since I was two years old, I was slapped in the face (metaphorically of course). People looked at me in disgust when I sat next to a boy in class or when I said that a man should not have the right to prevent his wife from getting a job. People around me - teachers, classmates and relatives - saw me and my parents as "Westernized Muslims" because we didn't fall into the patriarchy.
Honestly,I Totally Want To Go There...But Aside From The Distance And The Heat,I Can't Imagine There Is Much Left Of Ancient Egypt Besides Basically Tourist Stuff. Egypt Has Changed A LOT Since That Time,And Not For The Better.
Cairo is a dump and for me personally, seeing the pyramids and sphinx was somewhat underwhelming. If you really must see these landmarks then just make sure you visit "modern" Egypt with low expectations.
I wouldn't bother it's surrounded by tourist shit like McDonald and pizza hut cinemas and stuff and the people are so arrogant and disrespectful its blood boiling
@Richard Head we're in an economic depression. I believe unemployment and poverty is catastrophic enough. Then, we have the ~several~ hurricanes which have occurred. Oh, and tes, we are in a global pandemic. Catastrophic or not, it's historically significant enough.

Daisy Sauce! Bill Cosbys Quaalude Cocktail! Don’t get me wrong I love ancient Egypt. I would kill to live there for a day and see what it was like in it’s true glory. But let’s be realistic, nothing comes without negatives. And just because others have the same negatives doesn’t mean it’s a positive.
Daisy Sauce! Bill Cosbys Quaalude Cocktail! Flipping nipples. A negative is a negative. You can’t become a human trafficker that rapes kids and say, well all of my neighbors are doing it. It’s bad nonetheless. And yeah, they probably had a shit ton of positives. That’s why I would want to to live there for a day, to see it’s glory. But im pretty sure the slaves weren’t to happy about their situation
And plus they didn’t have an issue of “diversity” with a bunch of black people pumping out children that other people end up paying for. Also they owned SLAVES. So let’s not Put them on a pedestal just yet
druidboy76 Though there were slaves, honestly, in terms of treatment, they were more akin to servants. Slaves could marry, own properties, and have children. They also were able to work their way out of slavery, so it wasn’t a total lost cause. No expert, but I guess their liberties would be constrained only by how much of a dickhead their masters be. Also, you’re very wrong about there being no diversity. Ancient Egypt had strong trading relations with many countries in the ancient world thanks to their bountiful supplies of gold, and had been raided and conquered by many, many tribes and countries over time, which meant that the people living in Egypt would’ve been a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities thanks to all the people settling down/taking territories and whatnot. Hell, it’s even been proven by Egyptologists that a few pharaohs actually had red hair. Can’t have red-headed pharaohs without some red-heads settling in Egypt at some point.
I was in Cairo, Egypt last May. Visited Giza and saw the Pyramids and Sphinx. The Egyptians were very friendly and treated me like a family member that came back home after a long absence. Can’t wait to return. Want to visit Luxor. Love the Egyptian people.
@@olavwilhelm6843 Except I got the same friendly treatment from Egyptian people in the United states and two other countries I was in and not as a tourists spending money. Back at ya lol.
The teory of Europeans not bathing is comic Rich Europeans used to bathe all the time and enjoyed it very much But for the poor it was harder to find clean water
I did and it was full of errors and lazy stereotypes. Despite what most people think today, medieval Europe was a time of technological progression like almost any other time in human history. They bathed mostly in rivers and lakes and plenty of castles actually did have their toilets built over running water, effectively flushing away the effluence. By the way: People weren't drunk all the time but rather drank watered wine containing only enough alcohol to effectively sterilize the water.
@@jakobbrenner3820 the real technological progression are when steam machine came up at 1800s, when people realize the bullshit of church that poisoned entire european civilization. imagine what will happen if astrological and science from Maya and ancient egypt were studied and expanded on mideival era instead of developing fear of god thingy. today human could be a space explorer. medieval dark ages of church are truly "time wasted" era.
@@vanlocphan3051 And were lucky if they reached their 30's. Sounds like fantastic healthcare to me!! Plus you do realize the only reason slaves were looked after was so they could continue to serve their masters for as long as possible, right? Great group of people those Egyptians were and what fantastic (short) lives they lived. Smh
But wasn't Egypt a kind of closed society like China? They didn't have much contact with travellers from other places, plus they all ate well. Unlike China's Famine. I believe the Pharaohs had a strong duty to make sure that everyone had enough to eat. That would help. I'm pretty sure that a lot of really poor people were hungry in Europe and malnourishment will cause the spread diseases and kill people off fast.
It wolder be a problem because the only reason we have gluten intolarence now is due to the genetic modifications of today's wheat, it would be a completly different plant back then :D
I don't understand how ancient Egyptians were basically the cleanest community in their time, while medieval Europe, despite being just separated by the Mediterranean, is the complete opposite. This considers the fact that ancient Egypt was long gone before medieval Europe.
Actually they did not throw away the brain. They preserved it separately from the body. They did not know what the brain did, but they knew it served a purpose.
@@weeks2580 they threw it out.. the brain was the only organ they don't preserve out side of the body. Heart, liver, intestine, kidney... All in a seperate jar. But the brain was extracted by inserting a read hot wire into the nose and cut up and let it drain through the the sinus. They do not preserve it.
i feel like we humans in modern times tend to think of past civilizations as dumb, and not advanced in many areas of life but I'd love to see the average joe from present time try and live one day/week in one of these ancient times.....we'd be lost af
Honestly though. It’s because people before used trial and error that we have the technology and medicine we have today. Modern people owe everything they know today to the ancients
I think its more common for most people to assume that most people thought of ancient peoples as dumb or inferior in knowledge compared to today's people. But in all the people I've talked to over the years, I've never actually met anyone who believed that people thousands of years ago, were dumb or less smart than the average Joe of today
@- Cdawgg - Mathematics is an old knowledge. It goes back quite a ways in our history. Its not hard to find videos or articles on the history of mathematics. Even the Mayans had complex math.

The slaves were looked after because they wanted them to build their elaborate buildings temples.. Egyptian masters also were extremely cruel to the slaves they were also whipped and beaten forced to work long days transporting heavy equipment and pulling stone to build
Ancient Egypt has got to be my all time favorite aspect of human history ever. Just studying their paintings alone captivated me, because how diverse they were based on the kingdoms (Old, Middle and New). I hate how people obsess over ethnicity and skin color today. The Ancient Egyptians would've seen us as primitives obsessing over insignificant differences. They had diverse skin tones and shades. I think they would've been very puzzled and amused by the modern discussions about skin shades and tones. 😂I certainly think it is a stupid topic to discuss in any Ancient Egyptian video, since the ancient paintings clearly depict them as tan, brown, black and a cornucopia of humanity in one place. The Old Kingdom may have had tan or brown skinned individuals while the Middle Kingdom due to the invasion of Nubians from the South made Egyptians have darker skin tones and later into the New Kingdom we see more lighter skinned Egyptians due to the invaders of Romans, Macedonians and Phoenicians. Gesh! People simple reading and looking at Ancient Egyptian paintings would make you all understand Egypt isn't made of one particular group of people, but of many.
All those people in egypt were black u should know black doesn’t come in jus one shade it comes in many brown being one dark brown being another nd ever lights brown being one some black peoples even come out with such light skin they look white(albinos) they all were black the people u see in egypt today are invaders from turkey in Asia
Honestly through Egypt is at a cross road of Civilisations and The 3 Old World Continents heck it was A bicontinental empire along with invasions from other groups their would have been lots of migration in and out so its ridiculius to think egyptians only looked or belonged to one fake race or the other
Justin Sapolu well don’t think yourself so lucky, I could easily believe you being born in a tiny village just outside of Greece only for it to be raided by some roving marauders by the time you turn eight ; who upon seeing you in your tattered robes immediately make you the camp “stress reliever “ 😂😂

I've had the same thought then I read that the schistosomiasis was so bad in Egypt up until the 60s that they thought both men and women menstruated...
Egyptians believed in reincarnation, so did the druids, mayans... what makes you think you reincarnate into the same race, or physical body? All humans have the third eye.
People really forget how advanced the Ancient Egyptians really were. Their hygiene routine was basically the same as what we do today with some differences of course Looking at how the Ancient Egyptians lived vs how the Medieval Europeans lived is insane...
They were lucky if they reached their 30's but then again that's what happens when you're covered by universal healthcare I suppose. I find it funny how most Canadians, who have this universal healthcare, come into the US when they need important procedures and care....hmmmm I wonder why?
@Sang Man I'm from ohio, my moms side of the family is amish and my dads side comes from Appalachia. U want to talk inbred?!?! Dude, look in your own back yard!! Lmao!!
I studied Egyptology in university and if people are interested in the medical aspect of their civilization then check out numerous translations of medical procedures now available online. It’s utterly fascinating how much they knew and how they treated many illnesses.
Imagine this era! Huge flat pots of fire to light the roads, torches, detailed and majestic statues. The fact that Egypt was ancient to ancient Egyptians is craazy!
@@danieldriggers9488 Every country with universal healthcare, all I hear is the people bragging about it, saying how great it is, while acknowledging higher taxes. All I hear from Americans is how frustrating it is to live with the most sophisticated healthcare but have no access to it. I would have no problem paying another 1 or 2 % if it means everyone has access to healthcare. Your selfish attitude only hurts everyone, including those who share it. So many communicable diseases being spread, people sick and dying, when if the carriers could have gone to a doctor for a handful of antibiotics or a HIV test or whatever, these lines of disease never had to happen.

I think for the same reason that Abuwtiyuw was an onomatopoeia for a dogs bark, since I actually happen to study Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics I know the ancient Egyptian word _ab_ or _jb_ means heart, but the Egyptians believed the heart was were a persons mind, you might be familiar with the phrase _"whatever your heart desires"_ , the mind is truly a persons heart. This is more figurative and poetic than literal; the word _jb_ literally means passion, desire, love, lust, etc. these are emotions coming from the conscious mind or psyche. The heart is the seat of emotion.
I can see where they thought that about the heart. Because when you feel fear your heart beats faster. When you are in love you feel that emotion in your chest. When you cry you feel it in your chest. So to them, the you that makes you you is centered around the chest area. But how did they overlook the thought process of the brain because you can definitely tell that your thoughts originate from your head. Specifically the forehead area seems to get all the thoughts and then sends them to either side of the brain as necessary. I mean, at least I can "feel" my brain processing things in this manner.

Current science also states that humans have neural (brain) cells in multiple organs (most especially the heart), so they weren't really wrong or incorrect. They actually had more accurate info about the human body than current medicine today in a lot of ways.

If Egypt wasn’t so hot, I would take their lifestyle over any Medieval Era.
As a I kid, I always loved learning about ancient Egyptians. They seem so cool.
Ancient Egypt, by far, would be better living in than Medieval times. In fact worshipping cats, dogs, crocs and other animals seems to be something I would find solace in considering the mythos that shrouds Ancient Egypt is barely discussed.
I don't know what inspired you, but when I was a kid in the seventies, the "King Tut" exhibit was touring the U.S. There were countless TV specials about "Tut" at that time. That's what fascinated me.
I don't remember in which city I saw the exhibit, but this little boy was blown away.
On a side note, if you are a fan of Downton Abbey, you probably know that the exterior shots, and most of the interior shots were filmed at Lord Canarvans castle. The man who financed carters 1922 epedition.

@@katenka_ana3997 You probably know, that mummification wasn't reserved for the wealthy.
Mummies were so plentiful that they were burned in the boilers of trains in the 1800's. I think that's more disturbing than the mummies themselves.

"Men and women enjoyed equality under the law"
Well, it pains me to say that centuries later, Egypt went backward and women aren't equal here anymore....
Excuse me for not being knowledgeable on the subject, but how are women treated now in your country? I'm assuming you live in Egypt by your comment, so could you enlighten me?
I don't want to make it seem like women in Egypt are the most oppressed women in the world, but the Egyptian society is male-dominated and treats women as second class citizens. And the worst part is : people here - even women - don't even realize how disgusting and unfair it is. Feminism was clearly described as "an American ideology wrongfully applied to the Egyptian society"
People wrongfully interpret Islam and use their biased opinions as tools to control women. Considering the fact that women are legally obliged to present virginity tests for marriage and certain jobs. And abortions are illegal.
@@aidmcnade2951 I lived in the United States for a long time when I was younger, I'm not saying that the American Society is perfect - it's far from it actually - but I didn't grow up thinking that I was less for being a girl. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a pretty positive environment back then. Mostly because I was under my parent's protection and everything was filtered for me. And when I returned to Egypt for the first time since I was two years old, I was slapped in the face (metaphorically of course). People looked at me in disgust when I sat next to a boy in class or when I said that a man should not have the right to prevent his wife from getting a job. People around me - teachers, classmates and relatives - saw me and my parents as "Westernized Muslims" because we didn't fall into the patriarchy.
Except men and women have mandatory equality under american law too. Laws and concepts doesnt mean they wete 100% in practice at all times.

Cristian Perez Hey that's my last name too! Be careful about putting your real name out there…
@@druidboy76 The slaves weren't Egyptians. And people worked for bear. Have you seen the video?
druidboy76 Though there were slaves, honestly, in terms of treatment, they were more akin to servants. Slaves could marry, own properties, and have children. They also were able to work their way out of slavery, so it wasn’t a total lost cause. No expert, but I guess their liberties would be constrained only by how much of a dickhead their masters be.
Also, you’re very wrong about there being no diversity. Ancient Egypt had strong trading relations with many countries in the ancient world thanks to their bountiful supplies of gold, and had been raided and conquered by many, many tribes and countries over time, which meant that the people living in Egypt would’ve been a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities thanks to all the people settling down/taking territories and whatnot. Hell, it’s even been proven by Egyptologists that a few pharaohs actually had red hair. Can’t have red-headed pharaohs without some red-heads settling in Egypt at some point.

Me too
Yup

I did and it was full of errors and lazy stereotypes. Despite what most people think today, medieval Europe was a time of technological progression like almost any other time in human history. They bathed mostly in rivers and lakes and plenty of castles actually did have their toilets built over running water, effectively flushing away the effluence. By the way: People weren't drunk all the time but rather drank watered wine containing only enough alcohol to effectively sterilize the water.
@@jakobbrenner3820 the real technological progression are when steam machine came up at 1800s, when people realize the bullshit of church that poisoned entire european civilization. imagine what will happen if astrological and science from Maya and ancient egypt were studied and expanded on mideival era instead of developing fear of god thingy. today human could be a space explorer. medieval dark ages of church are truly "time wasted" era.

Ancient Egypt has got to be my all time favorite aspect of human history ever. Just studying their paintings alone captivated me, because how diverse they were based on the kingdoms (Old, Middle and New). I hate how people obsess over ethnicity and skin color today. The Ancient Egyptians would've seen us as primitives obsessing over insignificant differences. They had diverse skin tones and shades. I think they would've been very puzzled and amused by the modern discussions about skin shades and tones. 😂I certainly think it is a stupid topic to discuss in any Ancient Egyptian video, since the ancient paintings clearly depict them as tan, brown, black and a cornucopia of humanity in one place. The Old Kingdom may have had tan or brown skinned individuals while the Middle Kingdom due to the invasion of Nubians from the South made Egyptians have darker skin tones and later into the New Kingdom we see more lighter skinned Egyptians due to the invaders of Romans, Macedonians and Phoenicians. Gesh! People simple reading and looking at Ancient Egyptian paintings would make you all understand Egypt isn't made of one particular group of people, but of many.
All those people in egypt were black u should know black doesn’t come in jus one shade it comes in many brown being one dark brown being another nd ever lights brown being one some black peoples even come out with such light skin they look white(albinos) they all were black the people u see in egypt today are invaders from turkey in Asia

But also with renaissance paintings ...
Remember Disney's Hercules?

Honestly through Egypt is at a cross road of Civilisations and The 3 Old World Continents heck it was A bicontinental empire along with invasions from other groups their would have been lots of migration in and out so its ridiculius to think egyptians only looked or belonged to one fake race or the other

"In modern culture, male infants are circumcised at birth." Only true in a few countries. In the rest of the world it's viewed as a barbaric practice.
And at birth is purely “medical” which makes absolutely no sense. Religious reasons requires the baby to be 8 days old due to the body making vitamin k naturally and religious cuts far less than people think.
In asian boys are circumcise when they enter puberty, or should I say when they reach the age of 13
It is barbaric. I’m a female but I already hate the idea of circumcision. Like you are cutting the most sensitive part of your body, it doesn’t even bring any health benefits(although there are studies claiming it reduces the risk of HIV, I have my doubts about that), what’s the point?
@@emilyzhang5651 circumcision did not chop of the muscle. Just a little piece of skin.
Madame Lovelia I never said it was chopping off the muscle?
Ancient Egyptians believed the brain was in the heart very interesting
daniel worrell same as Islam
Devie Nanda oh really? Where does it say that in Islam? I’m curious
I think for the same reason that Abuwtiyuw was an onomatopoeia for a dogs bark, since I actually happen to study Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics I know the ancient Egyptian word _ab_ or _jb_ means heart, but the Egyptians believed the heart was were a persons mind, you might be familiar with the phrase _"whatever your heart desires"_ , the mind is truly a persons heart. This is more figurative and poetic than literal; the word _jb_ literally means passion, desire, love, lust, etc. these are emotions coming from the conscious mind or psyche.
The heart is the seat of emotion.
Devie Nanda where does it say that in Islam?
I can see where they thought that about the heart. Because when you feel fear your heart beats faster. When you are in love you feel that emotion in your chest. When you cry you feel it in your chest. So to them, the you that makes you you is centered around the chest area. But how did they overlook the thought process of the brain because you can definitely tell that your thoughts originate from your head. Specifically the forehead area seems to get all the thoughts and then sends them to either side of the brain as necessary. I mean, at least I can "feel" my brain processing things in this manner.
Ill take Egyptian lifestyle over the Mayan.
heck yeah
Agreed
Unless u like to be sacrificed to the mayan gods

I love Egyptian culture!
Actually have a facebook friend from Egypt that I have long message conversations with sometimes. She is like a world-class tour guide, just unbelievable that she doesn't work as one for a profession!
not 18,000 years ago!! That would predate written history. 8,000 Yrs ago is correct.
Predate history
And also not in Egypt. How can they make two so fundamental mistakes in one sentence? I hope no impressionable young minds are watching this.
Didn't it run for 3,000 years, been gone for 2,000 years?
I'm Egyptian myself and I can't believe the vast contrast between that and today's Egypt..
@Hubris to be honest, because of it's existence right at the heart of the globe, and the richness of minerals, the Nile, etc..
even if the Greek hadn't. Some other civilization would've. It did happen with the romans, the byzantines, Mongols, etc.
Just a matter of time.
Hubris but the Greeks gave Egypt Cleopatra, along with Alexandria and the great universal library of knowledge.
@@SWLinPHX the Greek didn't give Egypt Cleopatra.
Cleopatra is an Egyptian queen. She was in a relationship with Julias caesar that's all.
And neither did they give Egypt Alexandria. Alexander was ruling Egypt at the time and decided to build a city there. Egyptians are the people who built it under his management. It's an Egyptian city built by Egyptians not 'given to them'
@@SWLinPHX as for the knowledge, because of the Alexandria's status at that time and the presence of the Library, it attracted all kinds of scientists. And Yes, they did present a lot of scientific discoveries that we are more than grateful for.
@@PerpetualPrograstinator Do your research. Cleopatra was of GREEK lineage from Alexander the Great who was also GREEK and who conquered Egypt and was also the founder of Alexandria in his name. Cleopatra was an EGYPTIAN queen of GREEK blood during the early days of the ROMAN empire. The pyramids and Tut and Nefertiti and the rest were as ancient to Cleopatra then as she is to us now.

I’m an Egyptian and it’s such a shame to look at my history and compare it to Egypt now
@@rahadban6442 blame the Arab invasion.
You might want to rethink that. Sure our technology and ways of living are advanced compared to the whole world but the way most of our citizens live, it is very far from advanced.
This video has just the right amount of humor sprinkled in. Subscribed!
The narrator for these videos is what keeps the stories interesting to listen to.
I’ve always liked learning about history but I find that if the story is being narrated it matters who narrates it.
Wait so the modern world without social media? Musta been a godsend
tommy d u b b s It wasn’t that long ago that we had phones without the internet. In the very early 2000’s there was nothing compared to today. And people were genuinely a lot nicer and respectful than nowadays. I’m 40 and have seen such a massive change. Which makes me feel ancient!
Cam Bar I think mental health was better than too...like people use to text and talk and instant message...now ppl post and seek likes or seek doing what others are doing
Ya if you were RICH!
18,000 years ago? Doesn't that predate both the Egyptian civilization... and the last Ice Age???
Yep, he fucked up royally on that one.
Last Ice Age? We're still in the ice age. Well, technically, it's the inter-glacial period. Otherwise, still in an ice age.
But yes, the first known account of recorded history is around 5,500 BC.
Fuck this video
Yup. His timeline is way off.
Yeah he got that wrong. It most definitely predates Pharaonic/Historic Egypt. At around that time it was the end of the Khormusan industry.
Current science also states that humans have neural (brain) cells in multiple organs (most especially the heart), so they weren't really wrong or incorrect. They actually had more accurate info about the human body than current medicine today in a lot of ways. The new research in quantum physics kinda proves a lot of what they were supposedly wrong about. Granted they probably didn't have 100% correct information but in a most ways they were way beyond today's knowledge regarding just about everything.
Oh great more Ancient Mystical Woo
exactly, and this dude really said they just threw away the brain💀💀 like what does he think the eye of horus represents
That moment when Ancient Egypt was way ahead of the game with healthcare for everyone
In modern times SOME male infants are circumcised at birth.
@Celephinn why unfortunates? I am circumcised xD
@Celephinn I was because I had phymosis. This is a common medical condition, do you want they asked to me or what? xd
I got to keep my foreskin. I am not asking anybody to cut it up that is for sure. Heh
@@ianmcmurchie6636 you are like idiots, do you know how many mans are circumsiced for medical reasons? Do you think it's like clitoris ablanation but it's just a little piece of skin, the sensitivity doesn't change
Marc Amengual That is fine for them. It does not mean I want less of my own penis.
You made a few mistakes but you are actually the most accurate Western person I saw talking about this topic
My point!!!
What are the mistakes?
@@Johnny-tm6nz it's mostly cultural difference like the heart one yes we think that all thoughts come from the heart where the soul is and that the mind control the body after it gets it's orders from the soul wich is in the heart. that's one
@@Johnny-tm6nz and there's the one of the pregnancy test. Yes we used to use garlic to see if the channels are open or not. but would didn't think that it's connected with the digestive system

In modern Egypt, we still have a festival that has been held since the ancient Egyptians time, called "Smell the Breeze" or Easter Holiday.
It marks the beginning of Spring and is characterized by colouring eggs and eating special type of Fish called Renga and Fseekh.
Arabs like you aren't descendants of Ancient Egyptians.
ⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ heri-petchti ayoo berecoouts he May very well be, but truth is Arab invasion has sadly decimated ancient Egyptian culture and language,
@@fsami18
Not really Egyptian culture really died once the civilization collapsed in 1069 b.c.
The language died in the 5th century a.d.
The Greeks and Romans probably accelerated the extinction of Egyptian culture more than the Arabs did.
