Even now every now n then I would glue myself watching about them .

Just gotta love Dr. JoAnn Fletcher! I can only imagine all of the knowledge that you have picked up over all the years. Thank You for giving us a good peak in Egyptian history!! I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes and senses. I love Egyptian history and anything ancient.

I am truly mesmerized by this woman, Dr. Fletcher, and her love for the ancient Egyptian artifacts and culture. There are very few people that have a love for what they do on this sort of level...
This documentary was exceptionally informative as it was entertaining.... insane to think that one day in the distant future, they'll be studying us!

This comment section is a fucking disaster zone... Very interesting documentary! Having an absolutely thrilling time relearning what I studied at uni, and learning some new things, too! Ancient Egypt has always been one of my favorite time periods and cultures to learn about ❤️

I need Dr. Fletcher to teach history classes at my university, so many more poeple would get interested in the field or at least just genuinely enjoy lectures and be able to really retain knowledge she is why I have been able to actually learn so much about Egypt.

This comment goes directly to the narrator of the documentary:

I have always been fascinated by the marvels, or more accurately put, both real and mythical narratives of the ancient Egypt Dr. Fletcher, but up until now, I was yet to come across one that combines them in the most natural and fluent way. Similar to one of your taglines, your story is literally the Confluence of history, mythology and archeology and in my mind does justice to this amazing civilization! Thank you ma'am!

The technology we had back then is amazing

[shadegloom]

Such a cool civilization, sad we missed out on them in the modern times!

[diegodiaz]

[RichardAB]

Wow! Thank you for this wonderful documentary.

No, the earliest known writing is Sumerian, which appeared a few centuries before Egyptian writing. I really wish she'd quit saying that Egyptian is the oldest, it's completely misleading.

[abdullah.a.nahyan]

Immortal Egypt' is a great documentary. However, like many contemporary Western historians, Professor Joann Fletcher couldn't remain unbiased while discussing the ancient Persian empire. Her portrayal of Cambyses II in this documentary is reminiscent of Rudolph Maté's depiction of Xerxes I in the movie 'The 300 Spartans.' Moreover, she didn't even mention that Cambyses II was also crowned Pharaoh. Minimizing and vilifying Cambyses II while aggrandizing and lionizing Alexander the Great for the same act of annexing Egypt is ludicrous.

The bottom line is that Assyria, led by Ashurbanipal; Persia, led by Cambyses II; and Macedonia, led by Alexander the Great, invaded Egypt to establish it as their empire's first-level subdivisions (provinces). This practice was later perfected by Rome and Arabia during the first millennium AD.

I love this woman. She's the best. So many unanswered questions. She's answered so many of them.
