What Was Everyday Life Like In Ancient Egypt? | In The Valley Of The Kings | Real History

Between the Nile and the necropolis in the Valley of the Kings, thousands of Ancient Egypt's best artisans lived and worked, usually the rest of their lives, with their families and some servants or apprentices, often succeeded by their sons, building and decorating elaborate graves for the Pharaonic dynasty and its rich, mighty entourage. The town also had an almost complete network of logistics and so onto feed and supply the tomb builders and provide various services, almost a complete city, with its own police and administration, medicine and daily cult. Their lives, somewhat privileged, are exceptionally well end extensively documented, not in the least by pottery fragments used to write daily messages and private records.

What a privilege it would be to attend a lecture by Dr. Fletcher! Her beautiful, lilting voice, her authentic enthusiasm for the history of this remarkable civilization, and her sweet, friendly disposition leave me rapt with each video I consume. I love learning, but as an American, I had little opportunity to learn about ancient civilizations because alas, the U.S. largely concentrates on its own history, often in a very biased manner, I might add. I discovered Dr. Fletcher's videos while sick with COVID and bound to my basement rec room, and I'm so happy I did! Thank you for these educational gems! I've learned so much in such an enjoyable way.

the re-discovery of penicillin had something to do with French blue cheese makers and moldy bread it was Alexander Fleming who made the breakthrough of antibiotics but, people of the past already knew moldy stuff might help with infections going back as far as ancient egypt.

One thing about the ancient Egyptians; they were OBSESSED with death.

49:00 Que mesure la femme sur la photo avec sa main sur la photo sous le vêtement ? Il a une sorte de bâton dans la main et on dirait qu'il sert à mesurer la distance entre les jambes ??? Je n'arrivais pas à comprendre mais il y a quelque chose dans la main et cela ressemble exactement à un bâton de construction qui a été utilisé.. ? Je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les statues et les peintures de l'histoire sont modifiées pour ne pas avoir de personnes nues et pourquoi les organes génitaux des hommes ont souvent été entièrement dressés et recouverts de roses ou d'autres plantes ???
