"Not a lot of people are interested in Egypt's second dynasty."

Who do you think is subscribed to you? I love your Egypt videos!

[ArturdeSousaRocha]

It's the obscure history that is the most intriguing and enticing.

[GLeibniz]

These early dynasties are fascinating in that Egypt appears fully formed with a language, writing, culture: thank you for being our guide! Be safe!

[TheRedneckPreppy]

A 15 minute video from Cy has more history then an entire day of the "History" Channel.

Loving this series. Deep time history really puts perspective on how we view our own troubled times. In four thousand years virtually no one will know or care who we were. Word up to the old school Set followers before he became the 'baddy' of Egyptian religion.

Keep these up, I really need to learn these dynasties!

This video is a blessing from Thoth the Egyptian god of knowledge.

It's quite interesting how Seth was venerated early on compared to later periods of Egyptian history where he became villainized.

[noragibson]

I really love history especially about ancient Egypt.

[ancientsitesgirl]

Great video, as usual. Early hieroglyphs are beautiful! Soon I return to Abydos, the cradle of the first pharaohs ❤

[sarahsutube]

Yes you have to get the root of the history before you can understand the latter. Thanks very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next.

This was a really fascinating episode! I especially enjoyed the part about Peribsen's deviation and Khasekhemwy's solution to the disturbance it caused

[Joshee]

The amount of research you must put into these is incredible

[teakonorth]

Please do more of these Egyptian dynasty videos!

Ancient Egyptian history has always fascinated me for years. I first got captivated by it by, believe it or not, from watching 1997's The Mummy with Brendan Fraser as a kid and how much details they went into those movies in regards to Ancient Egyptian history and Egyptology. I wanted to study Egyptology in college and teach Ancient History for college and high school levels due to my fascination with Ancient History. I favor Roman history (Its founding to its final fall with Constantinople), Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek, and Ancient China and Japan.

Thank you for making this series, Cy! I've been fascinated by Ancient Egyptian History and Mythology since I was in second grade. Back then, it was the first time King Tutankhamun's treasures were brought to America (circa 1970s. And imagine a child waiting in line from before dawn to after sunset to see it!). Now as a 50 year old, I'm embarrassed to admit I know next to nothing about predynastic and first few dynasties. This series is making up for that. Also, I admire you for having the courage to say "We don't know much about X Pharoah or X event." Also you take what little that is known and make it interesting. Thank you for making this oldster feel like a young armchair Egyptologist again.

Luvvin’ the Early Dynasties! The personalities and politics are really interesting and the aesthetic is superb. The quality of carving of the hieroglyphs is stunning, and get a load of that granite bowl with the gold cover! Congratulations, Cy, for showcasing the painstaking scholarship and archaeology that has been going on behind the scenes to decipher the hieroglyphs and piece together the historical narrative of this less well known era.
