I bumped into the professor in the frozen food aisle of a supermarket (as you do) and had a great, though all too brief, chat.

If I see that Joann Fletcher is involved with a documentary, I will pretty much drop everything to watch. She makes Egyptian history come alive, down to the detail. She is the Carl Sagan of Egyptology.

[SamanthaGobert]

I don't know how many of these videos with Joann I've watched but I loved them all. Her curiosity and passion and COMPassion are contagious in all the best ways. Can we also please appreciate the fact that she is out here in the desert with the most burnable skin tryna share these stories of Ancient Egypt with us!

[kamileerotc]

I work graveyards and get through my shifts just listening. You can tell she's passionate about what she does so you don't even need to watch unless you want to

[stephanievaughan]

You can tell she's in love with her work. Brilliant.

[LETTYONLY]

She was almost in tears passion and very appreciative of archaeology and the value it holds. I've met her, just love her!

[tbird]

She's a wonderful lady and her knowledge and way in which she teaches is marvelous and you can tell how much she loves egypt

[snowbelledcat]

Mary Beard and Joanne Fletcher are my Fav. and I adore them so much! ..they're the best!!!! I can watch them over and over...and I'm always excited when they start talking and telling the story!..it seems like they bring me back from the past ...

[lauraleecreations]

I love Joann's documentaries and her passion for Egypian and all history!

[williamkirk]

Give a show a different name and people might think they have never seen it, haha 😂

[rcharles]

I love to listen to documentaries that have been done by Joanne Fletcher.

[tennisguyky]

Brilliant documentary! People sometimes forget that Tutankhamun was Amenhotep III’s grandson!

[robertdickson]

I absolutely love you Joanne Fletcher I wish that I could spend hours and hours being able to just sit and talk with you and walk and talk about the Pharaohs I'm an artist of ancient Egypt and I would I would just adore some time to be with you just to talk what an absolute gift it would be!

[buddhiherath]

This is by far the best history documentary i ever watched.In fact every egyptology video from dr fletcher are detailed and No bulshit conspiracy.just facts and science and beautifully illustrated with passion

[misterdeluxia]

i LOVE videos like this, its such a cool and mind-blowing thing that humans did all of this, from europeans to egypt to asia and much more, its so cool to see how different but similar at the same time things were

[flamezoidtron]

I feel like my nutty aunt is giving me a lesson in Egyptology

[lanaluu]

Joanne Fletcher is such a passionate narrator. I can listen to her all day. I would subscribe right away if she had her own channel.

[joeblowfromidaho]

She needs to wear white in the desert. So she's a bit heavy, who cares? It's not a Miss America competition. That really has to burn her skin!

[blondelefant]

I love how "certain" people stole all these artifacts, art, and jewelry from Egypt, then turn around and talk about it like all is well to learn about history that was stolen!!

[Balithazzarr]

She was probably a defendant of many of the red haired mummies found there.
