It should be stated, that by time Cleopatra came to power. The pyramids where already consider ancient history.

[rogeriopenna]

It's always a fun reminder that Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, etc... all lived CLOSER to the Crusades, Full Plate Armor knights, Discovery of the Americas, The Industrial Revolution, Discovery of Airplanes, Nuclear Power, Landings on the Moon, the Internet... than to the building of the pyramid complex at Giza...

Egypt had a power spike early game but then the other civs developed far enough into their tech trees and Egypt spent most of its production on a wonder

[bryantj]

I honestly have no idea why ancient Egypt interests me so much everything is so interesting and fascinating it’s crazy the mysteries everything

[andrewroberthook]

When the pyramids were built the skill level was already incredible meaning the culture was already ancient

[moonwitch]

Ancient Egypt is so mind blowing! It kinda hurts to know that this civilization disappeared. Everything about Ancient Egyptians is so fascinating.

Bronze age iron age dark age and we are in plastic age

It might be better to ask how ancient Egypt was able to sustain an Empire for so long. 3000 years is such a long time that it's difficult to even comprehend how they did it. Ancient Greek philosophers (approx. 500 BC) would visit this already ancient land and marvel at their achievements, despite the fact Egypt was already on the decline at this point (the pyramids and other sites were already showing significant signs of decay and neglect). In my amateur historian opinion I would say that it's geographical isolation kept it relatively protected from outside influence and invasion for some time, giving Egypt time to develop a deep and sustained culture (this is difficult to do when you're frequently fending off invaders). However, this couldn't last forever and eventually foreign adversaries evolved the technology and organization to mount effective invasions, and over time this weakened Egypt.

It constantly blows my mind just how ANCIENT Egypt was. We consider Classical Greece to have been so ancient that it's beyond our comprehension, and yet the pyramids were AT LEAST 2000 years old during that time, and were part of a Kingdom which was already about a thousand years old on its own

I've always been facinated by the Egyptian empire so this video just made My curiosity grow bigger. Thanks!

[lateefkhamisi]

Egypt comes from Greek so "Ancient Egypt" collapsed when its named was changed to Aigyptos by Alexander. The real name for the ancient empire is Kemet. We learn a bastardized history of "Ancient Egypt" in schools. Kinda like calling Incas Ancient Peruvians or referring to Mayans as Ancient Mexicans. It's really historically inaccurate.

[darkhero]

Egyptians: we were ruled by Persians..Alexander the great..Romans..persians second time.. Romans second time.. But at least we're still speeking our language..

Arabs: i dont think so. Not anymore.

[LostSpaceGuy]

Assassin Creed: Origins made me like ancient Egypt

[nedimbajgoric]

Youd didnt even mention the bronze age collapse and the sea people

[OzonePro]

Egypt: Exists
Neighbors: It's free real estate

[Rynewulf]

The Greek alphabet was introduced with Alexander and the Ptolemaic dynasty, and old practices like Hieroglyphs and mummification were already a lot less popular by the time Christianity had come on the scene many centuries later.

[retf]

You are actually a wonderful youtuber, never have I seen so many positive feedback from Egyptians (including me) on a foreign history Egypt. Thank you very much, I truly mean it

[BillSikes.]

What amazes me the most is how the Temples at the Valley of the Kings were completely lost to the Sands of the Sahara Desert, it wasn't until the early 20th century that they were rediscovered,

pretty ironic that a civilization which got such a heavy boost from the riverlands got overrelient on it and crumbled as soon as it became unstable. Though food supply was a major issue for any civilization.

[AlexS-ojqf]

I love the assumption that culture and technology is always "getting better" when in real life we constantly face a collapse of society that it's basically a restart button, which in theory could mean that past civilization could be a lot more advanced than we are now, there's just no trace of them left for us to know.
