When we think of ancient Egypt, the first things that cross our mind are mummies and pyramids, as well as the mysterious death of Tutankhamun. But that is merely a beginning. There are so many more fascinating things to discover and explore. Year after year, new excavations reveal amazing artifacts, such as clay objects that still display the fingerprints of ancient artisans. Other items help us discover the particular diseases an individual suffered from before he or she got mummified. So many small insights help us get to know ancient Egyptians—their daily lives, their drives, and motivations, emotions and weaknesses that are just like ours.

It's crazy to think Cleopatra was born closer to our time than she was to the creation of the Great pyramids.

The servants and family members were NOT usually buried alive and/or sacrificed for the king. The only time this happened was with King Aha (Menes) of the first Dynasty, as well as possibly in the predynastic Naqada period

[Anthony-hqjt]

[blueinferno]

What were the three kingdoms in 2:57? (Wasn’t it just the kingdom of upper and lower Egypt? Or only 2 kingdoms instead of 3?)

[mohamedmostafa]

This is a wonderful comprehensive narrative 👏

[em-trrd]

Way better explanation than what my professor calls lessons on Backboard.

*Tolstoy's War and Peace is a short retelling, the history of such a country cannot be told in 12 minutes).

[jimparsons]

Liked the clip. Took note of the fact the Country was one of the first to officially (?) use a form of feudalism. One might surmise that this form of government was a mere extension of the political setups of earlier city-states or villages in the region. Honchos like being large and in charge, even today that is true. What ever the form of government?

[IbzUddin]

Love this! How's bout the Mughal Empire for a suggestion? That'd be awesome

[ankitagoswami]

5500 bc ??
Isn't it should be 3100bc?
Plz somebody explain me .

[chiribimchiribom]

10:42 - very mysterious picture about small people on the chariots. I suppose, that could be Nubian dwarves, who were, for some reason, very popular in Ancient Egypt as "signs of luxury". Here they are archers. Or we see children on this picture - but very strange to engage children in the fierce battle.

[RyanJones-rgly]

Tartarian would be magnificent and of course Atlantis

Many illustrations do not match with the narrative

[joshuaa]

There where two ancient Egyptian kingdoms. Northern and Southern. The Southern kingdom is now under the ocean. You can Google images of underwater Egyptian pyramids, or artifacts. You can see it is the same writing and statues. Historians are wrong. The pyramids where built when the oceans where at their lowest point.
