    Just discovered these lectures after listening to you on the 'Ancients' podcast. Really enjoyed them. It's great that you just speak in your normal voice and avoid that forced enthusiasm that many podcasters and modern broadcasters resort to in a misguided effort to be 'entertaining'. I also like it that in these lectures you assume the audience already has some knowledge of Ancient Egypt. It's surprising how difficult it is to get this. TV documentaries simply dont take this approach and nor does much of whats on the internet. Anyway, thanks, and keep up the good work.

      I'll make a suggestion for a video! Pharaonic aesthetics changed a lot throughout Egyptian history. The Baroque of Amarna, the tackiness of the many Ramses and the Art Deco of Tanis, plus Saite Minimalism, are such contrasting and interesting aesthetic dimensions. An Egypt that changes its aesthetic foundations over time. I especially like the Saita period.@@ChristopherNaunton

    Always interesting lectures from this gentleman, for people who love things ancient Egyptian, already know a substantial amount of the history and culture from reading a pile of books, but are in no way professionals: Just the right amount of detail. Speaking about finding exhibition books cheap, just last Saturday I found and bought a beautiful, sturdy, tight and bright hardcover edition of the book published in conjunction with the Met's (NYC) 1978-79 King Tut exhibit (and with it inside the original visitors guide). Cost: $5.95 in a used-book store. The original price in 1978: $35, which by my cumulative inflation table would be $175. Wow! I.E.S. Edwards was the author, a scholar perhaps long forgotten, but one who wrote a number of popular books in his time, including the Penguin book on the Pyramids. Some 35 years ago I discovered an important mathematical fact about the Great Pyramid but after I consulted Edwards's book, I found out that it had been known for a century. Oh, well.

    Hello, congratulations and many thanks for the excellent presentation. Along with the silver sarcophagai and many gold objects, many bronze shabtis were found on the tomb complex of Psousennes I. As long as I know, it was the only period of Egyptian history when shabits were made of bronze. I'd like to suggest to you to include some information about these fantastic and magic objects in a future video. I am a collector of Egyptian antiquities, and owner of one of these shabtis (bought from Christie's in 2014), of General Wendjebanenojed. If you want, I can also contribute with the topic. Once again, thank you very much!

    Watched this lecture before when it was pay to view but it’s great to see it again, especially as I finally made it to Tanis on Christmas Day last year, which involved eight hours in a taxi to and from Cairo! I was lucky enough once there to be allowed entry to the royal tombs. Meanwhile, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square has elevated the display of the treasures of Tanis in anticipation of Tut’s treasures being transferred to the GEM, which unfortunately means you are no longer allowed to photograph them 😢

    Thank you for posting this. I have been binge watching all your videos and find that you explain everything in just the right amount of detail. Funnily enough, a couple of weeks ago I re-watched your TV documentary on Flinders Peitre and then I stumbled on your TH-cam videos. Strange how that sort of thing happens .I do have a couple of questions from this video: did previous dynasties use any silver at all or was this a completely new material to them? Does silver occur naturally close by? Also, were there many grave goods apart from the coffins and jars? No chariots , thrones etc? Does this mean they were less equipped for the afterlife?
    Thanks again for the video, I had no idea these amazing artifacts had been found.

    • @ChristopherNaunton
      @ChristopherNaunton  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching! To answer your questions: 1) Yes, silver was known to and used by the Egyptians prior to the time of the kinds discussed in this talk, see e.g. this vessel found in the 'tomb of the three foreign wives of Thutmose III' (18th Dynasty): www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/547550 2) As far as I know silver does not occur in significant quantities nearby, but I'm not aware of anyone having tried to establish where the silver from Tanis came from. 3) These kings were buried with plenty of items but nothing like the quantity and variety found in Tutankhamun's tomb (one of only two I can immediately think of in which chariots were found, the other being that of Thutmose IV). King Tut might have felt better about his preparations for the afterlife than the Silver Pharaohs, but I imagine the goods in the Tanis tombs were probably felt to be sufficient. The difference can probably partly be explained by a relative lack of resources, but the Tanis kings may also have had different ideas - their tombs were very different, and by the 22nd Dynasty at the latest we know the kings were Libyan in origin, and their beliefs may have been quite different. Thanks again!

    Do you know Joann Fletcher? I have enjoyed viewing her historical overviews of ancient Egypt, touring the mystical land of Khem in her solar parasol.
    I met Dr. Kent Weeks in 1996 when he came to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California to give a lecture on the "Hotel Tombs of the sons of Ramoses II". Very interesting.
    I met John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, and Dr. Robert Schoch, in 1993 when they made their fascinating TV documentary "Mystery of the Sphinx" with Charlton Heston. I was an associate of Joseph Davidovits and Margie Morris at that time, and met John Romer when he did his fine series of public television documentaries and published books also, in the 1990s.

    I'd like to give you my thanks for another in a series of excellent videos in a subject which continues to hold my attention over the span of decades. I'd also like to add that I appreciate the many different avenues of investigation and understanding you have been raising. I was already fascinated with the apparent transfer of power away from the dynastic noble families to the cult priests; the hypothesis that monumental architecture in Per-Ramesses was most probably moved to Tanis later is also quite satisfying to me.
    Surely, if the robbing out of dressed stone is less work for any given individual, moving stone which had been quarried and dressed to be re-assembled without any major reworking of the individual stones themselves is even less work. Thumbs Up!

    Dr. Naunton there is a channel i wonder if you are aware of. History for granite is the name. Actually the gentleman running it has some really interesting takes on the casing stones on the great pyramid. He surmised the pattern from existing casing stones and followed some patterns in the limestone going down the face. Basically mapping out the casing stones all the way down each face except the west, i believe. I find his videos really exciting. To me he has some ideas based in pretty sound observations. They may not proove a construction method but the def eliminate some. Id love to hear your take. Ps the story of how the casing stones were robbed has always been hard for me to believe. Would it of not been easier to quarrt new stone?

Is there any record of what the Egyptians themselves thought of what was going on? This, of course, foreshadows the question of what the Egyptians thought of the Nubians that came later; were they possibly seen as "liberators"?

      We speak of 'silver pharaohs' because of the - unusual - prevalence of silver in the Tanis tombs which does lend this period a particular character but there's no clearly defined 'silver age' as such. And even if you were to think of it as being the period of the 21st and 22nd Dynasties the number of kings involved would depend on whose chronology you follow! But the lists of kings' names at 1:28:25 approx will give you an idea!

      Good question and not one I know the answer to - it may be that some of the effects of tarnishing were present prior to conservation and cleaning. If not, I imagine it could be down to the precise composition of the metal and/or the atmospheric conditions.

    The robbing in the Valley of the Kings was to fund the tribute that the Tanis pharaohs were demanding.

    This image of Horus at the opening, is Biogeometry in the original statuary of ancient Egypt. Here is the Horus head. I measured with the BG16 pendulum that was designed by Ibrahim Karim and I get the BG3 energies over the lines on the left and over the eye. Nowhere else. Note the Seven zig-zag pattern assumed to be “feathers” leading from the left. This is what we call a carrier wave leading or drawing the energies from the back of the head to the eye. This is a Biogeometry principle. Hard to tell what the number of lines in the back of the head would have actually been. The number 7 shows up twice with the carrier wave and with its final peak rolling over and culminating by looping into seven circles instead; showing that each of these points were in fact based upon the same circular arc as well. Every arc is in fact a circle. Very cool. It would have been a very strong emitter of the BG3 energies or the center frequency that transcends the planes of nature from the physical to the spiritual. It is also made from pure silver. Clearly not meant to be decorative so much as functional having magical properties for the sending out of these energies into its environment. Not a decoration or a toy in other words. These can both be tested and measured with the tools used in Biogeometry and the same in ancient Egypt that we think of as mere pendulums or magical implements that were “superstitious” in our modern ignorance of these methods.

    As there exists a hypothesis that "Solomon" was Amenhotep III, it's intriguing to speculate that the biblical tale of "Shishak" carrying off the gold of king Solomon actually referred to Shoshenq going down to Thebes and walking away with such things as the sarcophagus of Merneptah as well as precious objects connected with earlier periods. (This would have been the period when the last coffins were being put into TT320) Oral history (bearing in mind that the Old Testament wasn't written until around 500BCE) has a way of producing such distortions in narrative.

      Amenhotep III was too early to be “Solomon”. About right for the pharaoh of the exodus (assuming it wasn’t his son Akhenaten who is documented as using forced labor for construction of his new capitol at Amarna).
      BTW - Rameses III built a new city Pi-Rameses on top of the old Semitic Hyksos capitol of Avaris (hence the reference to the City of Rameses in the Old Testament). There is an indication that the Egyptians lost control of the Canaan area in the 20th dynasty after the Bronze Age collapse and after they settled the Peleset (Philistines) in Gaza.

      @@allangibson8494 There was no Solomon. He is a fictional character from the "Old Testament". However, many of his deeds (and certainly his empire) have clearly been lifted from those of ancient Egyptian kings. The "biblical" figures such as Moses, Joseph, David etc are most likely made up of amalgams of various figures from different periods. Solomon may well be based on more than one king but the accounts of his supposed wealth and empire point us towards a new kingdom Egyptian king and there are one or two similarities with Amenhotep III that make him a likely candidate.

I always wince when I hear people speaking ancient Egyptian names for they invariably mispronounce the names because they haven't studied the etymology as I have.

    I don't know why no one seems to use the real names of the silver pharaohs, Pasibkhanu I and II, in favor of their epithets attributed by Manetho, the Greek name Psusennes. Pasibkhanu means "the star appearing over the city". These were the lesser known pharaohs of the 21st Dynasty, native Egyptians ruling from Djann (Biblical Zoan, Greek name Tanis). They ruled from Tanis from circa 1100 B.C. to 930 B.C.
    Smendes was actually named Nesubanebded, and he was the first pharaoh of the 21st Dynasty. He was followed by Pasibkhanu I, then Amenemopet, and Pasibkhanu II, and Si-Amen, last of the dynasty. The Libyan General Shashank I then conquered Egypt, and his 22nd Dynasty were all Libyans. Shashank I was the Shishak of the Bible. He conquered Jerusalem, Israel in 925 B.C. He was followed by Osorkon I, then Shashank II, and then Osorkon II.

      It's not correct to say that no-one uses the original Egyptian names e.g. Nesbanebdjed and Pasebakhaenniut - I use them here myself and others e.g. Prof Aidan Dodson in his book Afterglow of Empire, do too. I think the reason 'Psusennes' is more commonly used is that that is the name that has become established in the literature and is now much better known - use the Egyptian forms and your audience is much less likely to know who you are talking about.
