Incredibly, Cleopatra was closer to our time, than she was to the first dynasty!!! 🤯

[thomasbreslin]

Just think of how absurdly long ago this man walked this very planet we currently reside on. Gives me shivers

[jimsouch]

Hope this channel starts growing at a modest rate...You obviously have a passion in History and are talented at presenting it so I'd hate to see your potential wasted by Youtube's algorithm.

[michaeldeierhoi]

This is the best explanation that I have seen of the Namer Palette. And the graphics also highlight what is being described which enhances the detail of each part of the palette.

[Bashkii]

just found this. Great video, well narrated, no noise no BS. Pls keep going!!🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[TopCarsTV]

Saw you comment on Tim Shmoyer's latest video. 2k subs with 2vids sounded too good to be true so I checked you channel and man... the quality of your is so good. I see why you grew so fast.

Wish you much more!

[rossellis]

This is great quality for a first video! This channel will go far

[crusherbmx]

I never really cared about the this period of Egypt, it was all crude speculation to me, then I learned about the Narmer Palette and it hit me..this is literally the dawn of history...before this we were looking at archaelogical sites and making educated guesses based on what we saw, and suddenly, we have this piece of rock where the Egyptians themselves are trying to tell us what was happening, using names and symbols that we could read...WOW!

[MillenniumHistoryTech]

Nice work, is this your first video or you had another channel before?

[manaeth]

[Amadeu.Macedo]

I came here after seeing your comment on the historymarche video. Your video is better than what i expected. Great job.

[ambreeniram]

Narration is perfect, soothing and relaxing. Good to know about the first Pharoah. Thanks.

[Nathan-pqwj]

I see you becoming a VERY popular channel some day, keep up the good work!

[JamesKerLindsay]

A really excellent first video. Well done. Really looking forward to seeing your future videos.

[alicehardy]

You made this short piece VERY understandable. Moving the individual inscriptions to the side while explaining each was inspired! I've never before found explanations so easy to understood! Thank you
