Breaking it down like this and just looking every piece is so much easier to wrap your head around than broader old kingdom histories.

Another dynasty rises and another dynasty falls. It's crazy that this dynasty ruled over 4300 years ago!

Doing my "Dance like an Egyptian" happy dance, really enjoying learning about the Dynasties.

Nicely done, Cy! You mentioned Djedkare Isesi's rule and also mentioned the family of Ptahhotep. Perhaps you could consider an episode on the Maxims of Ptahhotep in the future. He was a man of solomonic wisdom!

The little known dynasties are in my opinion some of the most intriguing. I cannot help but want to know more about what happened during them. Hopefully, time will reveal more.

18:23 sometimes it's easy to underestimate how big ancient Egypt was!

I am more addicted to this series than any other series I've ever seen in my life. <3

I love that we have such early attested actual historical office called "The Master of Secrets" (mentioned at 12:57).

Amazing video.

In a way the V dynasty was the precursor of Akhenaten, but they were sucessful.

If I was in ancient Egypt, I would choose to become a contractor as it seems like business was good for creating pyramids and temples.

Awesome video Cy. Hope your gonna do all the dynasties up to Alexander’s conquest.

[sizanogreen]

Why thank you, I AM really enjoying this series :)

[GLeibniz]

Wonderful cy, I'm always impressed that scholars can nail down the dates of rulers with such precision. Your barge of knowledge is sailing smoothly down the Nile, thanks be safe!

[alm]

Much respect for putting this together, Cy. Great work!

[loke]

Thanks, you really need to combine all these vids once you have done all, it is easy to find information about certain Pharaohs on the internet but many of them are ignored. A playlist or combined long episode of all the dynasties would make it easier for students and other interested people to learn about the rulers of one of the worlds great civilizations.

Great work, I am looking forward to the next episode. :)

My research indicates that they were indeed begotten by Ra. Great video!

Do you think the Serehk names with the Horus symbol might have represented which region the pharaoh came from? Like lower Egypt was Horus and Upper Egypt was Set. In the first dynasty they have the Horus symbol so the Lower Egyptians were in charge, and then in the second dynasty there are Pharaohs who have Set on top of their Serehk name and later have both Horus and Set on top of their Serehk name. Like that could be a pharaoh who came from upper Egypt and a pharaoh who wanted to represent both or was a child from royals from both upper and lower Egypt. It seems like most everyone else from the third dynasty on just used the Horus symbol(there’s a couple random other deity symbols used at some points too) which could be that the Set Royal family died off or they might have forgot what the original symbolism was supposed to mean and just kept a tradition of putting Horus up there. Idk, trying to make sense of history when there is little to go on as to why ancient people did much of what they did is fun.

Hah, you usually post in the morning on my country's time, so I get to work while hearing the video, but today that I'm working at night you post at night too! Nice timing
