Djoser lived nearly 5, 000 years ago, it’s frankly amazing we have anything on him. Entire civilizations have risen, fallen, and been forgotten about in they same time

Your beard is looking simply majestic, Simon. Please don’t let ANYONE tempt or harangue you into the destruction of such a glorious monument to facial follicular strength.

“OMG What are you doing, step-pyramid?”

Please do a video on Tamerlane. Not only was he a conqueror as brutal as Gengis Khan and Attila the Hun, but he isn't as well known as those two.

Digging the extremely sharp Christmas sweater. Excellent style choice.

To make it all the more fun:
One of the Pharaohs' favourite past times was to destroy relics of their forefathers, in effort to claim titles and glories themselves.
Does make it really hard to find out where one Pharaoh's reign ended and the next begun.
In the end they where even re-using the same two names over and over again... Yay, confusion!

I clicked so fast, my phone went back in time.

Edit: Happy Holidays everyone!

With the exception of the last few revolutions and dictatorships in the 20th and 21st centuries, I say I'm proud of Egyptian history, even if I'm only half Egyptian.

[ibrahimgomez]

Kinda finding it hard to pay attention to anything aside from Simon's beard and that jumper.

And now I want one 🥺🥺🥺

[keryeeastin]

Merry Christmas Simon, to you and your family ❤️✌️🎄 one love

[whitlermountain]

With every channel Simon makes his beard grows larger and his dome shinier and chrome

[jamiemiller]

I just wanted to point out how awesome Simon's Christmas jumper is.

Innovations during Ancient Egypt have inspired many other civilizations in upcoming ages. Ancient Greeks, for example, were influential from them so highly.

[casper]

Ancient Egypt is one of the many reasons why i love history. Truly all things that are so vague yet interesting

[DMSrunit]

I like to see humans get ambitious that’s when we make the biggest growth. I wish I could see more of human history past and to come.

Note: You have already done a 4th dynasty video, like 10 months ago, according to my YouTube recommendations. The video is titled "The Fourth Dynasty Egypt: The Age of the Pyramid Builders"

[hjpark]

I just cant stop to be in awe when it comes to the egyptian civilization

[DragonFae]

Seems Simon forgot that Biographics has already done a video on the fourth dynasty.
