Those are the best kinds of teachers. You can feel her zest for life and passion for her subject easily from her voice & much through the screen! She definitely gives open-minded free spirit vibes
How ever one thing that she fell short of was emphasizing that the death mask was (( also re-designed for the boy king-)) So its not to really place a opinion as if for example, you are gossiping in high school about how the quarterback Tommy was--indeed--driving --his--car -- that was in fact the -- VERY -- car --that -- his --big --sister --turned --down.
@@gskelton2937 you know she can't include everything in a documentary. It may have not been mentioned but she hardly "Fell short". lol That is very interesting though.
She missed very important details - who were these early “nomadic people”? What were their DNA 🧬makeup. She did exactly what I thought she’d do - exactly what European history continuously perpetuate - more deceit. I was waiting for her to mention the African mummified boy -Uan Muhuggiag that she spoke of intensely in a separate video. His remains were older than any mummy found in Egypt to date. His discovery was made in the seventies, then covered up by Egyptologist. She’s a disappointment & I cannot watch the rest of this.
I adore Dr. Fletcher. Not only is she intelligent, but also respectful. She feels things through a spiritual level, which is a type of respect most people lack when visiting these treasures.
Just love her.. she teaches in a way it's not a lecture that is exciting and keeps you tuned in. Just love the way she tells a story.. a very special lady.
Oh really, she has Cush in Africa and not Egypt. You Europeans continue to separate Egypt from Africa, BUT THE WILL NEVER PHUCKING HAPPEN, you can't move a Continent okay.
This is my fourth time through this video (I love keeping it on in the background while doing housework or whatever), and I am of the firm conclusion that Dr. Fletcher must be protected at all costs. ❤️ She’s a treasure!
This was me today! Found it for the first time and she kept me company through my cooking 😊 Rich storytelling, beautifully expressed and obviously very well researched. It's clear this subject is much loved by her ❤
Dr. Fletcher is truly amazing, and I watch all of her documentaries repeatedly. She has taught so much. I love history, and thanks to her...ancient Egypt is #1 on my list.
@@SMacCuUladh She’s in love with her work. She’s one of the most knowledgeable people for Egypt. Her documentaries have millions of views on various channels.
@@sweethistortea "one" of is the operative term. It's not exactly a rare study anymore. We have a lot of great Egypt history tellers. Dawkins, who isn't an Egyptologist at all, is an amazing mind on the subject. There are a few out in the world who are fantastic purveyers of ancient knowledge. I find Joanne's voice gets real grading after two, three vids. Something about a scottish lilting accent talking about the ancient middle east; wierdness
Is she adding any thing new. Is she changing anything. What r historian say as well as Egyptians. Basil Davidson intro me to African Kingdoms. Is this woman trained to do this. Who did she talk to. Much better Dan laughing at her. Folks r trying to rewrite African history. Look with a critical eye.🥴🥂😘
Love the ever-present umbrella, and the always facinating and informative history. When I studied Egypt in art school, I often nodded out. No risk of that with Dr. Fletcher.
She was good at first, but after a couple minutes she'll never replace David Attenborough, his voice could enthrall me but also put me to sleep. She doesn't do the sleep thing for me, just the interesting aspect.
@Hamish Banish nothing about that lady strikes me as fake lol she seems like she’s got not problem being herself. I’m pretty sure she got expelled from Egypt once… she’s awesome haha
She is new for me. The way she talk is captivating. I speak French and I'm from Canada. I love British documentary because You simply are the best in this ❤
I love how the brits have all these fantastic shows hosted by frumpy women with bad teeth talking about history and archeology. Love it. It’ll never happen in American television. Americans would turn away these women or put so much makeover on them that would make anyone uncomfortable. But seriously, that red hairdo looks awful. Someone should tell this lady that it’s not a good look. Lol.
I have such a newfound respect for the ancient Egyptians!! They were amazing people!!! Their construction skills are undefeated !!! And how they were able to make sure their work stands the test of time is just gaw-dropping!! I think i almost saw Dr.Fletcher tear up a couple times!! I felt that!!!❤❤❤

@@geofox9484 In the early 00s, she led a team to find out if an unknown mummy was Nefertiti. A Discovery Channel documentary did it with them. In the end, she claimed it WAS her, but Zahi Hawass said she should have told them before the public (which she actually had). She got banned from Egypt, and was only allowed back about 5-10yrs later.

I worked heavy construction for 26 years concrete and steel it amazes me what these people done with the tools that they had with today's modern equipment it would be a challenge to build the pyramids but they've done it with simple tools absolutely AMAZING I love her documentaries on ancient Egypt
I can tell you one thing , they didn't build the Pyramids with copper chisels, as most " main stream" Archaeologist's try to tell us, your in construction, how hard is a copper chisel against Granite LOL. Research brother.
Egyptians didn't build the pyramids. Whomever built them didn't do it with stone chisels and hammers either. Unfortunately I doubt we will ever know the truth as it is lost in time. "We are a species with amnesia" is my favorite quote ever from Graham Hancock.

THIS IS INFACT MY THIRD TIME WATCHING THIS , and each and every time the amount of things i learn from it is just phenomenal , she has a very interesting take and incredible talent in telling or Narrating an incredible interesting story , i can and will watch again in a few months time no doubt , i just wished so bad she did others just like this as i would most certainly watch them too, love how down to earth and how she doesn't try change her ways and keep to her own ways , esp for tv !
I emailed her and told her how much I enjoyed her work, and she replied. What a cool lady, She blends in so much realism, knowledge, and the way she can exlpain complex stuff to the average punter, without being a tosser is fantastic. I could only hope I'd be half as cool!
Excellent! Wonderful! I just love this, I feel like I just was there this afternoon! I think I'll go back this evening. Dr Fletcher should win an Oscar!
The most impressive thing about ancient Egypt was the amount of times its culture was destroyed by foreign invasions, it rose back to power more impressive than before, they done this for over 2000 years, shows the true power of the nile valley culture

My dads favourite country and holiday destination . I managed with great difficulty to bury my dads urn/ ashes in Karnak temple ,No red tape no nothings I sneaked it there ,He always told me if there's one thing I should do in life ,Go to Egypt ,Glad I did ,I saw it all I can relate now to what my dad told me about Egypt .Superb holiday .
I have been watching for a long time ,the professor is a professional and entertaining at the same time. I would like to know you're back ground to judge .
I'm requesting that someone representing the documentary clarify : the mesopotamian civilization or it's earlier version, the Sumerians, had the first writing (cuneiform); and the first nation state ; IF the claim is that Egypt, the Sumerians and the civilizations of Harrapa/Mohenjo-Daro in India/Pakistan all overlapped in these technologies as Firsts, please indicate. I think it's misleading to say Egypt was the first.
It’s amazing to see that not only the nose’s of the very large statues, but also the smaller ones on the inside of the museum as well. I wonder what happened to all the nose’s ⁉️ Who had a thing with the nose of the Egyptian ⁉️
No noses on statues have been deliberately broken off my archeologists. They were broken in antiquity or broken when the christians/arabs were destroying the pagan Egyptian architecture because it didn't fit with their religion. The ancient Egyptians were also not black African. They were very mixed race for most of their long history.
@@sedwillful You have no proof for what you just wrote. There were times when black African people were on the throne of Egypt but most of the time they were not. Egypt was a mixed race/genetic society.
My maternal grandfather legally migrated from Scotland as a young man. He died at the age of 98 in Minnesota,?carrying his thick Scottish accent with him to the grave. He was a farmer but had a voracious interest in ancient history, he read and remembered everything he could get his hands on about the subject. He committed most of the Old and New Testaments and could quote and recite the location (verse numbers) and contexts. He was a respected 33rd degree Master Scottish rite Masson presiding over MN, Iowa & Michigan in his duty’s to fellow Masons. They would not be interred until my grandfather did the ceremonial rites. I loved listening to his quoting Shakespeare and the Scriptures in his rich accent. He could not have been more involved in his Church but would not accept any reference to the shed blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth being THE ONLY way of redemption and salvation. My mother was with him at his deathbed and plead with him to receive YAHWEH‘s blood sacrifice for himself. He became angry and refused for the last time and quit breathing. According to the Bible, my kind grandfather is not, nor ever will be in Heaven. This knowledge really hurts my heart. “Without the shedding of BLOOD, there is NO forgiveness of sin”. Ephesians 2:8@9 KJV removes all pride from earning eternal redemption! I received my undeserved citizenship in Heaven on June 27, 1960 @ 7:30pm. I have attempted to be more Christlike daily but have failed miserably. I KNOW I will spend eternity in Heaven because of my faith in what Messiah completed on the Roman cross. There were 2 thieves crucified with Messiah who deserved their deaths. The thief on the right of Jesus repented a received Messiah’s provision for eternal life but the thief on the left mocked and denied Jesus Christ’s GIFT of Salvation. The thief who would be redeemed had could not be baptized, do any good works, join a denomination, etc. etc.. I will get to meet him in Heaven sooon! Children who die before the age of accountability will be received into Heaven and anyone who are mentally unable to reject God’s exclusive and loving plan for redemption and salvation will also be received in Heaven. GLORY! Not sure, but Bible eschatology points to this year as the time of the instantaneous rescue of the global Church. The Left will blame the space aliens for removing us out of the way. There will be much celebrating around the world for our disappearance!
I have been binge watching all of her episodes that I have been able to find. She combines two of my favorite things...History (I have a BA in History ) and red hair. My beautiful late wife was a redhead!!!
Does anyone know when Dr Zawi Hawass will make his announcement about the identification of Nefertiti's mummy ? He said in mid September he would announce it in October . It's now into December and I've heard NOTHING not even an update. A frustrating situation for those who are interested. Anyone any news ?
Zahi Hawass has been too busy soothing a certain demographic of Americans' hurt feelings over evidence of dark skinned Kemetic people. He will learn this is a thankless job that will win him funding but lose respect.
@@nicolelashernobody has ever doubted the existence of dark skinned Egyptians. What has been continuously refuted is the bogus claims that the Ptolemys were black. They were Greeks, of Athenian descent. Cleopatra was not black. We do, however, have extensive proof of Nubian Pharoahs, as well as proof that the K'met were a reddish brown skinned people.
This is great as en entry point into Egyptian history. Hopefully this documentary will inspire folks to research even more and look at how little historians and archaeologists actually know. There are many theories and some make more sense than others. I am personally convinced that the history of Egypt spans a far greater timeline that we have imagined previously and I firmly believe knowledge has been gatekept for centuries, and still is. Some day in the next 100 years we will rewrite most of what we know about ancient civilisations.
I was taught in school that the pyramids were built by slaves, the US was first discovered by Christopher Columbus, and that dinosaurs were all giant lizards. I can only imagine how people in the future will laugh at what we believed today.
I remember the King Tut craze and I stopped at the King Tut Liquors and Foods for a drink and when I was able to wake up the next morning I was mummified!
Just wondering... Since the building of the Aswan darn, what has been the effect upon the Nile valley's agricultural vitality? Since the fertility of the land has long been attributed to the regular flooding, its hard to think it has not been impacted.
Well done, I wish ancient tech people would actually watch this and learn something instead of degrading the Egyptians making them sound like idiots who couldn't do anything, they were an amazing civilization!
No we need more Graham Hancocks in the world. Egyptologists refuse to have any debate and just go by academia. If you’ve been to Egypt you’d know a lot of the people are afraid to speak out because they’ll lose their jobs.
I love learning of the ancient Egypt and how it came to but I'm more interested is Dr Fletcher. You can tell she has passion for what she is doing. I'm very impressed with such a strong character in herself.
Su emoción y dedicación que tiene por lo que la apasiona, son características de las mejores maestras. Profesoras como ella hacen que los estudiantes quieran aprender más y que de verdad les interese
Joann Fletcher’s Yorkshire accent just completely cracks me up. For me it is just so disconcerting to hear that accent talking to me about ancient Egypt. I suppose it’s not fair, but yeah there’s no getting around it for me, there’s a certain level of comedy here.
You'd think every previous pharaoh croaking and all the buildings with them bricked-up inside would hurt their legitimacy by divine right more than an old guy who was still alive.
it’s painful to see a lot of Egyptian ancient artifacts in British museums, as a matter of a fact more than 100,000 Egyptian and Sudanese relics are housed in the British Museum
Is it, though? I think it's a shame what the Egyptian government and Dr. Zahi Hawass are currently doing with their stewardship of the culture. Do I believe that the artifacts belong in Egypt? of course, but I don't believe the current systems can or will do a better job of preserving history in a transparent and open way, either.
I reckon Joanne has a record of her own : First fair fair woman who has walked kilometres without fainting, never saw her drinking water: I want to go there and I watch Jo and think I’m even fairer. I’d probably faint walking out of the plane lol. I’m disabled so I wouldn’t go into anything so Joanne shows me. I still have Ireland to go yet. Lol then I’ve finished 3 bucket lists. Good onya Joanne and ur team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗
Just a thought, Dr Fletcher's comment about the 18th dynasty ending with Tutankhamun is wrong. there were two other rulers after him Ay and Horemheb. Isn't it known now that Tutankhamun was the one to return Thebes to glory after leaving Amarna and the only 3 rulers that really had anything to do with Amarna from the 18th dynasty were Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten, Smenkhkare and Neferneferuaten? I give it that Tutankhamun was born in Amarna but his name being changed from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun after he reopened the temples.
If you dont like her - watch someone else! I wouldnt waste my time on someone I didnt like or learn from. I think she has a love for her work ---we should all be so lucky.
the folds used in animal mummification wraps look like folded quilting patterns/designs used today and yesteryear on quilted potholders, pincushions, purses, totes, pillow shams, quilts, etc.
As much as I love her documentaries, im sure she's intelligent enough to realise the kufu narrative is questioned everywhere. But the head egyptian curator has such a strong hold on the narrative that no credible egyptologist would dare speak out against it.
We need more docs Joann lol ( hope I don’t sound pushy lol ) I dunno how old this series is. I used to watch Mary Beard and she did the Colosseum and I went to some of the places she picked out in a series.
Have you come across any photos of actual 'great fires' from any city? I find it so interesting that photographers back then don't have any enthusiasm to capture construction of beautiful architecture, migration activities or in the moment catastrophies like a great fire which allegedly occured as mentioned in almost every city's archives across north America? It seems very suspect that these pics don't exist. Thoughts?
I really like the narrator.
She has the right voice, just enough accent, and a natural cadence to her delivery. I hope to see more of her.

I'm requesting that someone representing the documentary clarify : the mesopotamian civilization or it's earlier version, the Sumerians, had the first writing (cuneiform); and the first nation state ; IF the claim is that Egypt, the Sumerians and the civilizations of Harrapa/Mohenjo-Daro in India/Pakistan all overlapped in these technologies as Firsts, please indicate. I think it's misleading to say Egypt was the first.
She puts all n layman's terms,,best speaker ever ❤😊
Amazing video 👌👍👍
adore Dr. Fletcher....thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
It’s amazing to see that not only the nose’s of the very large statues, but also the smaller ones on the inside of the museum as well. I wonder what happened to all the nose’s ⁉️ Who had a thing with the nose of the Egyptian ⁉️
I'd say to erase the various African phenotypes.
@@mostafakasemomar anti-Eurocentric, without the afro
No noses on statues have been deliberately broken off my archeologists. They were broken in antiquity or broken when the christians/arabs were destroying the pagan Egyptian architecture because it didn't fit with their religion. The ancient Egyptians were also not black African. They were very mixed race for most of their long history.
@@Paul-hl8yg they Egyptians never called themselves Egyptians and were black until foreigners began invading 3500yrs ago
@@sedwillful You have no proof for what you just wrote. There were times when black African people were on the throne of Egypt but most of the time they were not. Egypt was a mixed race/genetic society.
My maternal grandfather legally migrated from Scotland as a young man. He died at the age of 98 in Minnesota,?carrying his thick Scottish accent with him to the grave. He was a farmer but had a voracious interest in ancient history, he read and remembered everything he could get his hands on about the subject. He committed most of the Old and New Testaments and could quote and recite the location (verse numbers) and contexts. He was a respected 33rd degree Master Scottish rite Masson presiding over MN, Iowa & Michigan in his duty’s to fellow Masons. They would not be interred until my grandfather did the ceremonial rites. I loved listening to his quoting Shakespeare and the Scriptures in his rich accent.
He could not have been more involved in his Church but would not accept any reference to the shed blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth being THE ONLY way of redemption and salvation. My mother was with him at his deathbed and plead with him to receive YAHWEH‘s blood sacrifice for himself. He became angry and refused for the last time and quit breathing. According to the Bible, my kind grandfather is not, nor ever will be in Heaven. This knowledge really hurts my heart. “Without the shedding of BLOOD, there is NO forgiveness of sin”.
Ephesians 2:8@9 KJV removes all pride from earning eternal redemption! I received my undeserved citizenship in Heaven on June 27, 1960 @ 7:30pm. I have attempted to be more Christlike daily but have failed miserably. I KNOW I will spend eternity in Heaven because of my faith in what Messiah completed on the Roman cross.
There were 2 thieves crucified with Messiah who deserved their deaths. The thief on the right of Jesus repented a received Messiah’s provision for eternal life but the thief on the left mocked and denied Jesus Christ’s GIFT of Salvation. The thief who would be redeemed had could not be baptized, do any good works, join a denomination, etc. etc.. I will get to meet him in Heaven sooon!
Children who die before the age of accountability will be received into Heaven and anyone who are mentally unable to reject God’s exclusive and loving plan for redemption and salvation will also be received in Heaven. GLORY!
Not sure, but Bible eschatology points to this year as the time of the instantaneous rescue of the global Church. The Left will blame the space aliens for removing us out of the way. There will be much celebrating around the world for our disappearance!
The errors in my comments are not revealed before I press send but appear after being sent. Does this happen to anyone else out there?
I have been binge watching all of her episodes that I have been able to find. She combines two of my favorite things...History (I have a BA in History ) and red hair. My beautiful late wife was a redhead!!!
I found ur documentary extremely interesting. I've leaned a few things to. job well done
Does anyone know when Dr Zawi Hawass will make his announcement about the identification of Nefertiti's mummy ? He said in mid September he would announce it in October . It's now into December and I've heard NOTHING not even an update. A frustrating situation for those who are interested. Anyone any news ?
What announcement. From what im aware they dont know where she is.its a mystery
Zahi Hawass has been too busy soothing a certain demographic of Americans' hurt feelings over evidence of dark skinned Kemetic people. He will learn this is a thankless job that will win him funding but lose respect.
That's terrible it shouldn't be his job
@@nicolelashernobody has ever doubted the existence of dark skinned Egyptians. What has been continuously refuted is the bogus claims that the Ptolemys were black. They were Greeks, of Athenian descent. Cleopatra was not black. We do, however, have extensive proof of Nubian Pharoahs, as well as proof that the K'met were a reddish brown skinned people.
This is great as en entry point into Egyptian history. Hopefully this documentary will inspire folks to research even more and look at how little historians and archaeologists actually know. There are many theories and some make more sense than others. I am personally convinced that the history of Egypt spans a far greater timeline that we have imagined previously and I firmly believe knowledge has been gatekept for centuries, and still is. Some day in the next 100 years we will rewrite most of what we know about ancient civilisations.
I was taught in school that the pyramids were built by slaves, the US was first discovered by Christopher Columbus, and that dinosaurs were all giant lizards. I can only imagine how people in the future will laugh at what we believed today.
Joann is wonderful...just wonderful ❤
I remember the King Tut craze and I stopped at the King Tut Liquors and Foods for a drink and when I was able to wake up the next morning I was mummified!
Just wondering... Since the building of the Aswan darn, what has been the effect upon the Nile valley's agricultural vitality? Since the fertility of the land has long been attributed to the regular flooding, its hard to think it has not been impacted.
There's this thing called the Internet....
Well done, I wish ancient tech people would actually watch this and learn something instead of degrading the Egyptians making them sound like idiots who couldn't do anything, they were an amazing civilization!
No we need more Graham Hancocks in the world. Egyptologists refuse to have any debate and just go by academia. If you’ve been to Egypt you’d know a lot of the people are afraid to speak out because they’ll lose their jobs.
This woman is literally the best
Phenomenal! Thank you
I love her passion for Egypt, and it’s clear they love her in return.
Dr fletcher is 👏👏👏👏👏
I love learning of the ancient Egypt and how it came to but I'm more interested is Dr Fletcher. You can tell she has passion for what she is doing. I'm very impressed with such a strong character in herself.
I also love her hair.
You can tell Dr Fletcher cares about the history of the Egypt.
Dr. Fletcher single handedly shoulders the weight of this 3 hour narrative of universal interest. And, did she bear it up. Splendid!
Joann, I love you and your work of love ❤️ ❤❤
2 hours and 45 minutes in....the original "Let them eat cake"!
Su emoción y dedicación que tiene por lo que la apasiona, son características de las mejores maestras. Profesoras como ella hacen que los estudiantes quieran aprender más y que de verdad les interese
Joann Fletcher’s Yorkshire accent just completely cracks me up. For me it is just so disconcerting to hear that accent talking to me about ancient Egypt. I suppose it’s not fair, but yeah there’s no getting around it for me, there’s a certain level of comedy here.
Joan Fletcher i love the way you tell us the story of Egypt and its Gods People & Animals Dayaties and History
Her love for Egypt is beautiful and passionate. A woman after my own heart.
Proud to say she comes from my home town
Yay more more more!!!
Fascinating
@0:24 wouldn't that be nuts if that is the top of a buried, forgotten pyramid
I watched this 2 years ago and when it premiered. Had no idea the onslaught of information I was walking into after.
You'd think every previous pharaoh croaking and all the buildings with them bricked-up inside would hurt their legitimacy by divine right more than an old guy who was still alive.
it’s painful to see a lot of Egyptian ancient artifacts in British museums, as a matter of a fact more than 100,000 Egyptian and Sudanese relics are housed in the British Museum
Is it, though? I think it's a shame what the Egyptian government and Dr. Zahi Hawass are currently doing with their stewardship of the culture. Do I believe that the artifacts belong in Egypt? of course, but I don't believe the current systems can or will do a better job of preserving history in a transparent and open way, either.
This is Black History so refreshing
I reckon Joanne has a record of her own : First fair fair woman who has walked kilometres without fainting, never saw her drinking water: I want to go there and I watch Jo and think I’m even fairer. I’d probably faint walking out of the plane lol. I’m disabled so I wouldn’t go into anything so Joanne shows me. I still have Ireland to go yet. Lol then I’ve finished 3 bucket lists. Good onya Joanne and ur team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗
historia hermosa !!
Just a thought, Dr Fletcher's comment about the 18th dynasty ending with Tutankhamun is wrong. there were two other rulers after him Ay and Horemheb.
Isn't it known now that Tutankhamun was the one to return Thebes to glory after leaving Amarna and the only 3 rulers that really had anything to do with Amarna from the 18th dynasty were Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten, Smenkhkare and Neferneferuaten?
I give it that Tutankhamun was born in Amarna but his name being changed from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun after he reopened the temples.
Why so many ads!
Lieb es immer wieder ❤
Interesting how Joann feels awe within the "burial" chamber of Khufu. I wonder what I would feel. it seems like a scary place. One might feel trapped.
At 2:42:11. Lol. Do all Egyptologists go to the same hairdresser/barber to get the same haircut? The crazy mad scientist afro? 😂😂😂
21:33--22:30 Intriguing!
If you dont like her - watch someone else! I wouldnt waste my time on someone I didnt like or learn from. I think she has a love for her work ---we should all be so lucky.
the folds used in animal mummification wraps look like folded quilting patterns/designs used today and yesteryear on quilted potholders, pincushions, purses, totes, pillow shams, quilts, etc.
Cattle in a 19000 years old rock carving ?? That would make them the craddle of domestication.
I love to hear your voice.
Come on Prof, surely you don't believe that kufu built that pyramid? He just commandeered it.
As much as I love her documentaries, im sure she's intelligent enough to realise the kufu narrative is questioned everywhere. But the head egyptian curator has such a strong hold on the narrative that no credible egyptologist would dare speak out against it.
We need more docs Joann lol ( hope I don’t sound pushy lol ) I dunno how old this series is. I used to watch Mary Beard and she did the Colosseum and I went to some of the places she picked out in a series.
Egypt is a gift to the world - don't destroy it
Pause at min 2:46, key stone cuts!!
Love this woman!
What I'd do to seat In on your lecture and classes
Have you come across any photos of actual 'great fires' from any city?
I find it so interesting that photographers back then don't have any enthusiasm to capture construction of beautiful architecture, migration activities or in the moment catastrophies like a great fire which allegedly occured as mentioned in almost every city's archives across north America? It seems very suspect that these pics don't exist. Thoughts?
This accent is so satisfying. Just keep saying things.
King pepi: 2200 BC.. Think about that! 2 thouand 2 hundred years before Christ! 🤯🤯 and we're 2 thousand years after christ! UNREAL!
