It was an honour and pleasure to be a part of this project, I ask the viewers to please offer feedback on my voiceover work and how I could improve. A special thank you to Cy for offering me the opportunity to develop my skills and be a part of something I'm so passionate about. A fantastic documentary Cy, the quality is beyond my already exceedingly high expectations, looking forward to future projects with you, thank you ❤
Pleasure is mine, thanks so much for bringing so many of these characters to life... I think the story was made so much better due your voice acting. We'll definitely work on more projects, thanks again for helping out with this and past videos!
The thanks goes to you, you really brought Hatshepsut and the hymn to life! Looking forward to more of your videos soon and thanks for your help with this project!
Thank you so much for this! Just one thing- many historians think Thutmose III actually wasn't the one who erased the memories of Hatsepshut, rather it was his son Amenhotep II. Hatshepsut had given Thutmose III command of her armies, which probably wouldn't be if Thutmose was resentful. Moreover, dating shows Hatshepsut's monuments were not desecrated at least 25 years after her death, which gives credibility to this theory. Since Amenhotep II was the son of a lesser wife he needed to increase his legitimacy, ehich might be the reason as desecrating her temples might serve to deny succession rights to closer relatives who might have a better claim on the throne than Amenhotep II.
Hi, thanks so much for your comments. Yes, you are correct, I should have made that clear in the video. Appreciate the feedback and thanks so much for watching. Dynasty 19 will be coming hopefully next month...stay tuned!
This is extremely well-done. It reminds me of those great, old documentaries that they used to show on A&E and the History Channel from when they actually showed educational shows - but with even more detail. Instant subscribe, and I will definitely be checking out your other videos.
Thanks for the kind words, comments like this make my day. Also, welcome to the channel and I hope that you enjoy the other videos in this series and others. Thanks so much for watching!
Yeah it was time for me to come out of hibernation and thought I'd do it with something special for all of you ancient Egypt fans. Hopefully you'll never have to wait so long again for future content. Thanks for always taking out the time to watch these and comment, really appreciate it!
fantastic work! 1:00:00 this was a very common theme in imperial China too (at least in C-dramas) if a particularly worthy prince, especially one who might be the heir, didn't have a high-status mother, he was removed from his real mom's household, and legally adopted by the Empress 1:21:00 his temple was definitely beyond huge, but it was also kind of foolish in hindsight. It was built much closer to the floodplain, so within a century, flooding and earthquakes brought the whole thing down until only the Colossi were left.
Wow...Such an awsome video full of history and now cant feel my left hand by holding the moby since I was super curious to know more . Thank you so much . The voice of the speaker is great and full of passion. Egypt is in my heart and I have many Egyptian friends here in Athens Greece.
I have been researching the Hyksos connections to the Israelites. This video provides some very useful information that ties into that theory. Thank you for your hard work. The entire series is worth re-watching multiple times. Very well done Cy.
Thank you for such a clear and well presented overview of this complex period. I have always regarded Amenhotep ii as a somewhat overlooked monarch and your outlining of his achievements here shows how important he really was in securing Egypt's stability and wealth over the second part of the Dynasty. If I had to nit-pick, I might say that perhaps you should have mentioned Yuya as his family played an important role but there's only so much you can cover without making the thing too long. I look forward to the next episode.
Yeah, I enjoy making them too because I feel that I can tell a better story and provide better context. The drawback is it takes longer for me to put something out. I'll mix it up in future with longer videos and short ones in between. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
Very nice work yet again. I do appreciate the how you brought up Akhenaten building his city on the backs of his own people in the name of his faith. Thank you appreciate the video and the detail you gave to this dynasty.😁
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! Yeah he is very controversial... some think of him as this revolutionary, almost saint like person who gave up the world to live life as a recluse in Akhetaten, others as an extreme megalomaniac. In my opinion, the ultimate test of a leader is how their people fare overall under them. In that regard, though a very interesting and complex figure, I don't rate Akhenaten very high on my list of great leaders. Just my opinion though. Thanks for watching and more to come!
Cy you did a good job on this one . the 18th dynasty definitely is my favorite of your vids. Thank you for including many busts and pictorials in your piece it is important people know who the “Egyptians” were.
This whole series has been excellent. and would be a good way for any one get a real perspective on just how complex history can be. You present facts and and state when some things not agreed upon. giving written accounts where you can find them. Fine work.
After this is over, it might be a good idea to do a series on the dynasties of Iran. After alll, you already kind of started it with your videos on the Medes and the Achaemenids. It would be great if you started where you left off with the fall of the Achaemenids and ending with the Pahlavi dynasty.
Hi. There will definitely be more on the Achaemenids and also Seleucids, Parthians and Sasanians. Not sure when I'll get to later dynasties because there is a lot to cover on these but I'd like to cover the later ones one day. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate it and glad the audio was ok since it's the hardest thing for me to master while making these videos. Thanks also for watching, really appreciate it and more on the way, stay tuned!
Thanks my friend, hope you enjoyed it! If you can, visit the Egyptian Museum in Turin... not sure how for it is from wher you're at but its supposed to be one of the best! Lots more on the way, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
So glad to see the new content. Been wondering where you been. Now that I see the awesomeness of this release I understand. This 18th dynasty episode has been a Magnus Opis possibly even better than the Babylon episode! Keep up the good work! You are #1 top notch content!
I’m going to school to be an archeologist and all of your videos are so helpful with my education! Do u think you could a series similar to this with ancient China? Thanks again Cy!
Yeah, this one took much longer to make than I anticipated, but worth it in the end. Still many more supplemental ones to come along with Dynasty 19. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Finally! An amazing labor of scholarly love and devotion, better than anything on television. TH-cam needs to fix their algorithm. I clicked the bell over a year ago and i just got this today 😢
Thanks, glad you enjoy these longer ones. About the bell, I don't know what's up with that but others have told me the same thing. Will look into it to see if its something on my end. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it and stay tuned for Dynasty 19!
This whole chronological list is amazing and thank you for putting it together. I wonder if the sibling marriages starting mostly with Aahmose might be because they were a small royal family with a dwindling number of non-Hyksos influenced surroundings. They saw their family as pure and wanted to keep it that way. I think if sibling connections were because of the Gods it would have been more pervasive throughout the entire history (as those gods were ubiquitous).
Congratulations, Cy! You make it seem effortless, but this is clearly a lot of work. I've watched all the way up to Hetshepsut, and it's fantastic so far. Looking forward for the rest of it.
What is the plan - doing 2 hour videos for every of the three dynasties of the New Kingdom? Not complaining at all, I'll listen and four-hour ones with pleasure.
Hi! I guess it depends on how much info is out there. There's a lot on the New Kingdom relative to other dynasties... some of the future videos after the DXX will be much shorter, but as we get closer to the Ptolemaic Dynasty, there will definitely be some longer ones, maybe not as long as this, but about 45 min to an hour. Thanks for watching!
Oh definitely not, I'm working on the script for the 19th Dynasty and will eventually have a video for the rest, hopefully all done sometime in 2024. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the rest!

You sound like an ancient dude from the desert👍😀
You did really well very articulated and clear. Honestly I really love the voices and Cy finds the good ones look forward to hearing more from you.
I have been quoting your lines from the more melodramatic messages all day
Pleasure is mine, thanks so much for bringing so many of these characters to life... I think the story was made so much better due your voice acting. We'll definitely work on more projects, thanks again for helping out with this and past videos!
You did well, I saw your valor, you should be rewarded with gold once again.
The next 2 and a quarter hours of my life are predetermined. Thank you so much for your amazing work!
My pleasure, thanks for watching, really appreciate and hope that you enjoy it!
Working with you Cy is a great honor! It's cool that small channel like mine could participate in your astounding project! The outcome is awesome!❤😊

T-t-t-t-TWO HOURS? I'll go get my chopped mangoes
How many mangoes could one eat in two hours, I wonder?
This is a three jointer for me

My FACE when I realized how long this is. Thank you so much, Cy!!!
Oh my, more than 2 hours of absolute goodness?! Thank you so much for this!!!
fantastic work!
1:00:00 this was a very common theme in imperial China too (at least in C-dramas)

Well that was epic - really well done.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it... more on the way, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Love the voice acting for some of those quotes too man
This is the best content you make man. 2+ hours of high quality history....unmatched and INSANE
This is perfect timing since the Egyptian History Podcast just finished the 18th dynasty
I knew the wait would be rewarded the greatest Egyptian dynasty
This episode was truely EPIC! Looking forward to the next one.
Wow! thank you Cy and friends for such a great Doco over such an epic dynasty/time period of Nile history. You are legends!
Long time coming!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Haha yeah I told you it was gonna be a while until the next one. One done, many more to go!
Awesome work on your Dynastic series. Very informative. Very accurate.
What I like about this channel is that we get to hear quotes from findings.
What an amazing episode on one of the most important Egyptian dynasties! Thank you for your great work!
My pleasure my friend, glad you're enjoying these! Hope to have D19 next month...thanks for watching!
Ohhhh yes! I have been waiting for this so much, but it looks like the wait has been worth it!
Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! More on the way, stay tuned!
Man this is so clearly a labor of love, I so appreciate all the effort that went into this IMPRESSIVELY well done Doc, great job.
Thanks, and thank you for watching! Dynasty 19 out hopefully later on this month, stay tuned!

What is the plan - doing 2 hour videos for every of the three dynasties of the New Kingdom? Not complaining at all, I'll listen and four-hour ones with pleasure.
Hi! I guess it depends on how much info is out there. There's a lot on the New Kingdom relative to other dynasties... some of the future videos after the DXX will be much shorter, but as we get closer to the Ptolemaic Dynasty, there will definitely be some longer ones, maybe not as long as this, but about 45 min to an hour.

This is getting so good. I'm waiting for Shawshank I think it's twenty second or twenty third dynasty!

Oh no? Is this the last dynasty in your series? I was loving this 😢
Oh definitely not, I'm working on the script for the 19th Dynasty and will eventually have a video for the rest, hopefully all done sometime in 2024. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the rest!
