The passion she portrays about her love for ancient Egypt is just so captivation.

This host with the channel has ALWAYS BEEN FIRE

[RedRisotto]

Joann Fletcher is so good. Such a great presence and voice... Love the tempo of her speech and being, and her passion of the subject matter. If all teachers on the planet had the same presence - kids would not need to be drugged to pay (semi) attention.

[markmarsh]

It's captivating to listen to a GENUINE Historian who knows literally everything about the subject they're talking about. Can't wait to see more from Odyssey!

I love Joanne, especially every time she says, "Amen'otep".

[tanyaprado]

I just love Dr. Joann so much. I have learned a lot from her, she's the best host ❤

She has written a very good book about the 3000 years of history. Not dry, not only about men, but a book full of surprises: The Story of Egypt. A book description said this: Joann Fletcher uncovers some fascinating revelations, from Egypt's oldest art to the beginnings of mummification almost two thousand years earlier than previously believed. She also looks at the women who became pharaohs on at least 10 occasions, and the evidence that the Egyptians built the first Suez Canal, circumnavigated Africa and won victories at the original Olympic games. From Ramses II's penchant for dying his greying hair to how we know Montuhotep's wife bit her nails and the farmer Baki liked eating in bed, Joann Fletcher brings the history and people of ancient Egypt alive, as nobody else can.

This was a 4-part BBC series called ‘Immortal Egypt with Joann Fletcher’, first aired in January 2016. Must have been cropped to remove the BBC ident in the top corner…

OMG this lady (Dr. Joann fletcher) is amazing. I am Egyptian and I love to learn about my history from her. I wish if she has a website, so I can buy all her videos and add it to my library.

[MarkAbeel]

There's a lot to be said for these rulers and their fights to keep their power in spite of the negative comments here by people who really don't love ancient Egypt..that said the British Museum really needs to return many of the artifacts they stole from Egypt it's nothing to be proud of
