Expert enters rare tomb and is overwhelmed with emotion- another reason she’s a great teacher-- her passion for the subject!
Children in school often say that history is "boring". This woman takes her love of History to new heights, her emotion is contagious. I subscribed the very first time I saw this. Absolutely superb
I totally agree and I too subscribed.She is what every scholar wishes to aquire,the true respect,and attentiveness of her words.I admire her truely,her knowledge has inspired me very much.
I love ancient history such as this. 🙂
agreed! I loved watching her speak and her enthusiasm as much as the rest of the documentary.
She's really good. Even my 7 year old want's to watch the "lady with big, red hair".
@@SailorYuki good parenting job!
I loved imagining Kha's love for his wife. He spent all his final years preparing himself to see her again. He did everything in his power to do exactly what he wished: spend a good afternoon basking under the sun with his beloved wife. That's beautiful. Sometimes I forget that before us, there were billions of people. They cried, laughed, loved, endured. They were humans before us.
One of my favourite examples of this thought experiment is from a journal of a Greek schoolboy 2000 years ago where he writes about wondering what people were like 2000 years before him
There’s a beautiful wedding ring from Ancient Rome inscribed with “I do not love you enough.” (One of Mary Beard’s docs on Rome shows it.) That one definitely gave me the same feels!
Joanne is a gift to the historical world. I'm sure the spirits of these ancient peoples are resting happily, knowing somebody with so much awe and respect is carrying their legacy into the 21st century. I've never seen anyone moved to tears like she was, it really does prove just how much she loves what she does.
Very well said!
LOL this white woman and many others are only gifted at whitewashing history!
Omg You sooooooo ao right!!!!!!!
I can’t get enough of Dr. Fletcher’s videos. She is an amazing teacher. Her passion is undeniable and she brings ancient Egypt to life. I could watch her videos for hours. If I would of had teachers like her, I would of loved going to school! I wish she would do more videos. 🌻
I've watched Joanne's videos a dozen times. I put them on to fall asleep as well as to watch while I craft things or do housework. I love her voice and passion.
Fake 🤥 News 📰
Ancient Egypt was pure African people period I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people period the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people period I look online and noticed that the mummies were pure African people period not this Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin BS
100 💯 percent true facts 💯 truth
Me too.
Joanne, the way you tell the stories of the past brings history to life. When you cry, I cry. Thank you for what you do. Your passion is incomparable.
For me, Dr. Fletcher is the premiere amd unrivaled specialist on the Egyptian societies, it's people at their most human, and the ancients cultures and customs throughout each dynastic period. She's so very very passionate about her work amd it shows so well in her documentaries. I'm in awe of her knowledge and I'm a smarter man for having listened to her insights and vast comprehensive studies. She's fantastic. Absolutely unrivaled.
Another fabulous presentation by Joanne Fletcher who brings Ancient Egyptians back to life, thank you.
Love the story about the man who wanted to move into his beloved's house but was told to be on his way. She wasn't as impressed with him as he thought she's be. Some things never change. It's the sort of story we see every day in the 21st century and can relate to.
Tbf if someone turned up at my house and said "I love you can I live here now?" I'd probably think it was a grift for free housing 😂
Thank You!!! Not many historians look to the people. Greeks, Kemet, Assyrians…the common lives. We’re forced to learn of the aristocracy, the monarchy, the rich. It’s frustrating.
They were not black, go away
😂😂😂
You would also enjoy videos by Egyptologist John Romer, who also has a love and empathy for ordinary people. He is from an earlier generation, the videos were originally aired in the 80's but they are really interesting and the amount of detail and knowledge he has on the subject is impressive. Even shows what clues Howard Carter would look for when looking for tombs.
History was one of my favorite subjects in school. Even now, I love documentaries like this...exploring ancient people and cultures.
Why is she wearing all black out under the blazing Egyptian sun? And a black umbrella?
@@blaineedwards8078 Maybe it's not summer time. Deserts aren't always blazing hot.
@@LAkadian They're definitely not as hot as your mom....
The ring found under Merit's death mask looks like it was sized for a man. That leads me to speculate that Merit died first, and Ka put his ring under her death mask just before she was entombed.
Dr. Fletcher is my favorite person to hear. Her passion for Ancient Egypt brings it back to life. I wish she had a regular show.
I just love Joan. I really do. She speaks of a time that, somewhere in the long halls of my memory, I can still remember. She speaks of it with such respect and a much deserved reverence. She entrances you with her words, shuttling you right back to a time I wish I was still apart of. I love Joan, tremendously, and I'm so grateful for this new video. ♥️
Agreed
I had tears in my eyes when she described Carr's daughter, possibly, caring for him in his older age.
Do you mean Kha's daughter?
I just love Dr. Fletcher's presentations! I learn so much and am richly entertained at the same time. Thanks you :)
I agree. When she cried those tears of joy, it brought tears to my eyes. I love her shows.
Could not agree more! If I would ever get the chance of meeting her I’d die peacefully the minute she leaves… She’s such a good narrator, she talks so passionate about the subject - to me she is like Sir David Attenborough but on ancient Egypt 😅❤️
I've learned more about Egypt from her, than anyone who've ever taught me! You're so right about her! She plants a love of history within, that's unshakable. We thank her for that!

It's astonishing how history narrated by Dr. Fletcher can be so magnetic to watch! Congratulations on the content
I watched this in England. So glad I get to watch it again. Joanne's love of Egyptology is so contagious.
I have to say Dr. Fletcher is one amazing presenter! She explains with such passion!
I'm crying with you... I'm shook, how amazing, stunning and special. I have no words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us this! ❤️❤️❤️
I finally visited the Egyptian museum in Turin, Italy and saw Ka and Merit’s tomb contents! It was AMAZING. But, I really think they should put everything back.
Dr. Fletcher, this presentation was elucidating, immersive and amazing. Thank you for your devotion to ancient civilizations and you presentation of their everyday lives.
It’s a beautiful story… hearing her and seeing these antiquities really brings it back to life to get a glimpse into these Egyptian lives is amazing how we have so much in common with the ancient Egyptian‘s from 3000 years ago I’m right down to the perfumes and eyeliners it’s just beautiful I’ve watched it like four times… Awesome
I did Latin and Classical Studies at the same sixth form college as Professor Fletcher, I would imagine just a couple of years later (she was born in 1966 and I was born in 1969). I imagine she must have taken the same course. We had two great teachers (the dashingly charming Mr Nelson and the imposingly strict Mrs Gunsen), who had both been there for years. I am sure she is their greatest achievement and is probably living their dream.
whssy: your own comment was so interesting and invites hearing more!
Are you published?
In any case, thank you for your excellent comment
Kha worked so hard all his life to make sure that his tomb doesn't get looted, but in the end, it was still looted in 1906 and even their bodies taken 😥. I love archeology and Egyptology but I think we should respect those people's beliefs and wishes
@Ellie5621 yeah good point I understand but still feels bad when they talk about finding their tomb as if they found treasures, we forget that they are people and we take their bodies and put them on display, maybe it's the less of two evils but still. I agree about things not being returned to Egypt, and they probably never will. I was really surprised to find the amount of artefacts that are in other countries. The Met in NY has 40 galleries just for Egyptian stuff
@Ellie5621 the old story of the west coming to the rescue is rather stale and has run it's time. Alleging robbers were going to get it so the west robbing the artefacts for 'safekeeping' defies all logic. For starters those artefacts were in Egypt and Africa for thousands of years and didn't just fall from the sky. For any loot to have value markets and value must exist. Guess who lacks any history and is ready to grab anything of historical significance or value? The west!
Looted Artefacts in western museums must be returned to their people and places. Anyone should travel there to see them and the people should be able to see what their ancestors built!
@Ellie5621 Egyptians as if Egypt was sovereign and free. Egypt wasn't it was under the British colony.
So issue of permits etc are rendered null and void. If the west is sincere it would have helped preserve the artefacts in Egypt and not in their capitals.
Egypt is now able to preserve it's artefacts why are they still not returned? Why is the west still 'preserving' them?
I was there recently. Egypt is increasingly given over to Muslim extremism - many who believe these artifacts are satanic relics from a pagan society. If it wasn't for the tourism income, these would have been destroyed by now. Their preservation and "respect" is not guaranteed in present day Egypt.
@Ellie5621 Why would you want them returned to Egypt? To be stuffed into a museum, unaccessible to most of the world that can't afford to jump on a plane to Egypt in order to see your country's history in person? You realize that me and my children had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a very small sampling of King Tut's artifacts at the Chicago Natural History museum years ago because the pieces were touring our country at the time. We never, ever would've had such a historical, moving experience to see Egypt's treasures up close and personal if they were stuck in a building over in Egypt.
Be proud enough of your country's heritage to let the whole world enjoy and learn from these artifacts, don't round them up and take them home like children throwing tantrums and taking their toys back so no one can enjoy them.
Most of your presentations I watch much more than once. They get better with the telling because of the passion you infuse. Watched Kha and Meryt's story twice now. Thanks is a bit of a weak word for everything you offer, but....Thank you.
I would sure like that recipe for the bread the Egyptian lady is making!
I always love how enthusiastic Joanne is it is wonderful to see the smiles the tears the wonder at the brief glimpses into the past
This was absolutely incredible! Thank you for the upload!
Egypt has been at the top of my bucket list since I was a small girl. I'll probably never get there but I so enjoyed the journey with you. Your excitement and wonder are contagious. I got emotional too. Thank you!!
If Joann Fletcher was presenting a video about paint drying I would PAY to watch it!
Enough said.
Wow! Just wow! This is such an informative and fascinating look at the lives of ordinary ancient Egyptians. The scene where Dr. Fletcher enters the tomb of Amenhotep III and begins to cry is priceless. I got teary eyed too. Fletcher’s videos about Ancient Egypt are the best of all that I’ve ever seen. Her knowledge plus her passion and love for these ancient people and their culture is palpable, and you can’t help but join in feeling her awe and wonder for them.
Billion % From Yorkshire England 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You know those Egyptians knew something, the soul does live on forever!
I love the stylized stars on the ceilings of Egyptian tombs. I would like to have them on my own ceilings. Thanks so much for this!
I could listen to Dr. Fletcher for hours, about any topic. I HAVE listened to her for hours with all these documentaries! She's a marvel.
I love how she acknowledges that the ancients and modern egyptians are one and the same. So knowledgeable so humble and graceful in the way she delivers the information to us. This is the first time I'm watching a documentary of hers and she's a joy to listen to.
Dear Dr. Fletcher - thank you so much for this absolutely amazing documentary - bringing to us the story of Kha and Merit. I can quite understand the emotions you felt looking at the stunning artwork in Amenhotep III tomb, simply breathtaking and knowing that Kha have probably planned its design.
It makes sense that the ancient Egyptians revered cats so much since grain was so vital to them. (rodent control)
Spectacular documentary! Love doctor Fletcher.
I enjoy every word Joanne says! She tells a beautiful story of the Egyptian history. Thank you !
Jo… wicked sense of humour brings the Egyptian’s back to life . Thank you .
Dr. Fletcher , when I saw the artwork and colors on the tomb wall , and I enjoy drawing and painting , i gasped and got teary eyed myself .🙂 and would have been happy to have shared a box of tissue with you
Kha and merit are my favorite mummy’s as of now. I really wish we knew more. We need a tv show on kha and merit
I love it when Joanne tells the story..I’m always hooked❤️❤️ Thank you keep giving us a glimpes of the past
She is my absolute favorite. I look forward to many more of these videos.
Gave me goosebumps quite a bit through out this entire video and was just in awe.
Thanks for taking us with you!
One of the best documentaries, if not THE BEST on ancient Egyptian life!!!! BRAVA DR FLETCHER
I just say,Dr Fletcher's Great and amazing 😀👍
Watching from JKT/Indonesia🇲🇨🙏
freaking out at new dr. joann fletcher content. have watched all of her videos on youtube over and over again this is so exciting
Love love love professor fletcher!
History in such a beautiful form, life in the hereafter will surely be so lovely
This is so fascinating
"There was no grim reaper-- just this beautiful goddess wanting to embrace them in her warm arms." This is a glossy account of the Egyptian view of the divine judgement that awaited souls in the afterlife. The divine judgement was a dicey prospect to anticipate, considering the crocodile god "Ammit," who sat beside the scales of Ma'at, ready to devour the souls of those deemed unworthy.
What I would give to be able to time travel!
I love Dr. Fletcher. I learn so much from her videos. She exudes excitement for her subject and that makes her such a great teacher.
Ok but this lady and her enthusiasm is absolutely adorable.
Agree. Except for the clown hair.
@@heenanyou very rude.
I love everything about Joanne! From her energy and curiosity, style of story telling, the dedication to what she does to her gorgeous hair. I wish she´d be my friend
I am so glad I found the site. I have always been interested in history. Well done Doctor.
Always love anything presented by Dr. Fletcher. But, personally, I also love how she always wears all black out in that desert sun 😝.
Hey, that and the umbrella help her skin becoming as red as her hair. Sucks being a redhead in Egypt. Black also hides sweat best!
@@cindyleehaddock3551 That purple-red clown hair can't be natural. I find it detracts from an otherwise good presentation.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe she went in the early morning
@Toronto My in-laws have the same hair, it's very much natural.
@@heenanyou Just go somewhere else if you feel the need to criticize someone’s appearance. Didn’t your mother teach you better?
I just almost had a stroke hearing the Buzzfeed Unsolved royalty free motif behind the narration of this video.
What a treat to watch Dr Fletcher 😍 I go to her and even
re-watch her other videos.I love her and David Attenborough ❤
Excellent video. Thank you, Dr. Fletcher and all who helped in the production process and getting it out to the masses. Much appreciated.
I love your videos,love learning about Egyptians from so long ago.! Thanks
Thank you for all your endeavors.. I have always been interested in ancient Egypt and its people.
This is Fascinating. I Love the life it brings out in you Dr. I would truly enjoy talking and sharing the wonder of the Egyptians with you. I can tell this brings out the passion in you. Thank you for sharing your World and your Love. Long Live FREEDOM and AMERICA !!
what the hell does this have to do with America even?
@@Mrkva22296 I agree. Absolutely NOTHING!
She is a really interesting character ^_^
Excellent show. Thank you for your inspired telling of Kha and Merritt's life and burial.
I wish they would put date they recorded. I have seen this one before I remembered the comment abt mold on bread being used for wounds. Was a great show.
Good point. Why are TH-cam videos not dated any more?
@@heenanyou they are.
She's is my favorite!!! 👑❤️❤️❤️
I love how she shows her passion and respect for these ancient people of long ago..
Around 1:25: I don't understand why the two men discussing the CT scan of Merit made no mention at all of the severe distortion her skeleton clearly underwent. Her spinal column is way off to one side, her pelvis is tilted sideways, and her ribs seem to have become detached and are lying nearly vertically. And I'm no expert in reading CT scans, but I can see this (especially the spinal column), so why was there no mention of what must be either a violent cause of death, or possibly a postmortem injury by the embalmers?
May they live again in peace for eternity
Love your videos !! I've loved ancient Egypt since I was a kid..you bring it to life better than anyone !! Thank you
What an amazing job this documentary is! Thank you so much!
Great video. I never had such an all inclusive walk through rituals and daily life of ancient Egyptians. Absolutely amazing.
An excellent and entertainingly-presented documentary.
Yes! Another history Channel. Please post some vids about the Stone age..About Europe and the Americas. 😊 🙏
Odyssey sends me. 😎👍
Nice. Subbed.
Wonderful documentary ! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you
very interesting, deserves more views for sure.
I don’t know how I hadn’t found this channel until now. I enjoyed every minute of this documentary and love Dr. Fletcher’s enthusiasm for Egypt. I’ve been a teensy bit obsessed with Ancient Egypt for decades now, so much so that I named my daughter Merit after reading Mika Waltari’s book “The Egyptian “. I was so happy to hear her name over and over again in this video. 💜
Best documentary I’ve ever seen.
Wonderful documentary! Dr. Fletcher is a gem!
These female historians are exceptionally engaging. They bring a detailed, 3-dimensional, and conversational approach to their delivery of history.
Interesting how back then they figured out how to feed everyone but we can't seem to figure it out in modern times bc everything is about Money 🤦🏼♀️
Outstanding!
Loved this.
Comments section is an example of what happens when you love your job❤
Dr. Fletcher is amazing. How she explains and brings back to life ancient Egypt and its people to us .
FANTASTIC program!
Thank you❣️ 💛💙💚
Every time you watch this, these people will live again.
Absolutely wonderful examination of an amazing culture.
🌎🕊
i remember this feeling...loving the teacher
Excellent 👍😍🤩Love Egypt, I'm fascinated by it
Dr. Fletcher, you look nice 👍 enough to snag me in. Thanks for being you. Absolutely enjoyable as delivered!
I see you like purple hair.
@@heenanyou i see that the only thing you have taken away from this fantastic documentary …. Is the fact that Professor Fletcher has red hair , great discovery on your part .
@@heenanyouwhat a tiring obsession you have
Such a great telling of Khas & Meryts life!
So happy to see Dr. Fletcher and others in the show using gloves! I cringe often seeing some hosts bare handedly touching ancient artifacts!
I'm with you there. Ancient artifacts with some modern idiot's DNA doesn't help anything.
Absolutely superb! ❤
Fantastic presentation - all consuming . Such a beautiful voice , Her enthusiasm draws you in and reminds you just how beautiful it was to be there. Even made you want to ' walk like an Egyptian ! The Mamluke era is also intriguing.
