I found it very difficult to hear the commentary above the music. Other than that, well done.

[Its_Casprin]

Worst audio mixing yet, but the information was amazing.

[stevendeitrich]

I could have actually enjoyed this, but so often there are those
screwed up producers that think they must slam a lot of load noise
& sounds & music over
top of the narrator . You can barely hear the narrator & the whole effect is displeasure .

[sharynhay]

Unable to enjoy it because of poor production quality. I love this type of program but the narration is a big part of it.

[Gutslinger]

Makes you wonder why the Vatican would be in possession and preserving pagan gods of other religions.

This is lovely! Thank you for such a great doc, with a very good narrator. It's so clear that he loves his subject and knows so much about it. Excellent! A pleasure to watch, and thank you for not using flashy quick editing to seem cool. This is the way I love looking at antiquities, with slow pans and long shots of everything! Thank you !

One note: The audio really needs to be much louder. When commercials interrupt the video, they are much, much louder than the documentary. And when I play the doc on my tv, I have to turn the volume up about 7 times the normal levels.

It would be wonderful to see these beautiful pieces returned to Egypt ✨🙏🏼🤍

[reneemoreno]

Its astonishing to see in person. Incredible art and grandeur.

[MyThoughts]

Music is too loud, I can’t hear the voiceover.

[mistybehaviours]

It just goes to show that what the Egyptians did to get into the after life works, it may not be what they imagined was an afterlife but we are here today looking and talking about them, so they did achieve it.

25:00 Ptolemy I Soter was not a descendant of Alexander the Great, he was a Macedonian General and companion of Alexander, and took part in the Wars of the Diadochi for Alexander's succession, in which he consolidated his control over Egypt. There was no blood relationship between Ptolemy I and Alexander.

I like Mr. Woodside. I’ve never seen him before. He has such passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter. I hope we see more of him. Excellent episode.

I was there, a beautiful exposition. I saw so many granite statues of Sekhmet only in the temple of Mut in Luxor! 💗

[rokvist]

Great film. New information. Loved it. Thank you Ryan

[EKA-jf]

Perhaps these should be returned to Egypt and the other countries they came from.

[gentrynavat]

Wow! I learned so much here about Egypt more than any documentary ever. Thank you, and such beautiful presentation.

[patsystaint]

Having a segment in the beginning of the video talking about how it’s ad free is downright offensive when there was four ads in the first five minutes

[literallyanythingelseother]

Love his energy. Like Mary Beard where their passion is dripping. Awesome

[Justamanandhisdogthor]

Finally! A new documentary on the subject of Ancient Egypt. My favorite😁😁
