Degree in Egyptology. Usually biblical videos on Egypt are full of errors. I didn't find a single error in this. Well done.

I must say IP as an Orthodox Jew I’m loving this series carry on and may God be with you

[vedinthorn]

Makes good sense to me. And the southern egyptians of the 18th dynasty would probably have hated the Hyksos and the Hebrews alike seeing them all as foreigners who wrongly held power in Egypt.

In my video essay on "Does Inside Out Accurately Depict Hell?" which was inspired by your video essay on Hell, (thanks, by the way) I pointed out that one of the worst curses you could ever visit on someone in Bronze Age Egypt was to never say a person's name again and that we see that practice used on Moses in the 1956 Ten Commandments. I also pointed out that while that was an artistic liberty on Cecil B. DeMille's part, it was a nice reminder that even after 3, 000 years, Moses' name still lives on while many of the Pharaohs' names have been more or less lost to history.

some people headbang to heavy metal but I headbang to IP talking about ancient archeology

[sageseraph]

Saw you on Pints with Aquinas! It was a pretty cool crossover lol.

I can’t find the words to describe how great your videos are. May God bless you

[bbiermanster]

Thank you, and good job. There is some fascinating archaeology from this period by Manfred Bietak in a Semitic location called Avaris near the delta. Avaris is near Rameses, and was also called "Geshem", which he called a variant of "Goshen".

Outstanding work IP, thanks for putting in the effort!

I believe the time period and Hyksos involvement is not even conjecture or debatable among anybody outside academia. I believe it to be fact and there are just too many correlations for that time period.

[MatthewChenault]

It reminds me of the times I responded to videos related to the dismissal of Exodus as “false” because “it wasn’t recorded by the Egyptians.”

The thing about the Egyptians is that, unlike the modern west, they did not believe in recording every single detail; good or bad. In fact, they believed in erasing history outright that conflicted with their narrative or were from people they did not like. Them destroying evidence of the Hyksos would be a good example of such an occurrence and offers evidence that the Biblical account cannot be dismissed simply because the Egyptians don’t have it within their records.

When you remember that the Egyptians believed in, quite literally, destroying evidence of the existence of a person or an entire people, it makes it harder to refute accounts from the Bible simply because one side lacked such information.

Hey IP just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your work, I tell people about you any chance I get because in a lot of ways you kind of just cut through all the suppositions and stigma and get straight to truth and that’s what I try to do too.
I’m glad there’s people out there willing to take the time to research and ask these types of questions.
Again I appreciate the hard work bruv, and may God bless you.

[joshbedford]

I lived in Israel for a few months about 8 years ago, and during my stay I really got a sense of the ancient world, and the ability to discern who is talking from knowledge with a base of genuine scholarship, and who is talking out their ass. You are doing the former, and I appreciate that your videos keep me connected to that part of my mind.

[americanlostinvietnam]

And recently they have uncovered Joseph's palace along with his empty tomb, statue, and his 11 brothers tombs at Avaris (Tell-el Dab'a).

[SAGEFTHEEAST]

I love dealing with ancient African history. They had such an impact on every aspect of our life today.

[coldjello]

Thank you for your efforts. I really like your videos, especially the ancient monotheism video.

[marcouellette]

I am glad I ran across this channel, subscription earned!

[juan-pierrerootman]

Another banger of a video coming up soon. Thank you IP. I’ll be eager to watch it

[j.gstudios]

Can't wait for the video to come out also ip will you do a video on the United kingdom of israel and David and solomon?
Edit: I asked him before the premier started and he said yes he will

[peterteekens]

2:24 shows a perfect go-pro on the chariot. Any archeological proof of that?

Great video's IP! Keep it up!
