An excellent video. I'm always delighted to learn more about female rulers. The Hatshepsut one is still one of my favourite of your videos.

Чудова збірка відео! Останнім часом я дуже зацікавлена в біографіях правительок. Мені цікаво: коли буде відео про Нефертарі, найвідомішу і найвпливовішу з дружин Рамзеса ІІ?

[onagaali]

Very galvanizing. It's always interesting learning about Queens of Egypt. Germany as well as other European and western nations need to repatriate ALL art from Africa back to the proper country!!!

[TonyMoze]

I see your channel eventually played by classrooms in high school and college.

You are positioning yourself to be the next HISTORY CHANNEL 📺

These are our ancestors, and their features are very similar to us, not similar to the features of sub-Saharan slaves, and we have a genetic analysis that proves this
