I need to talk !! This documentary is historic and the best I've ever seen! Light and more light on a fascinating historical stage, practically ignored by Egyptology as a period of decadence. This was the most mystical and elaborate time of religion in Egypt. Curtis lit up with a flash of lightning, a complete and unusual documentary. Crowned with an enigmatic voice from a postmodern priest of Ptah. The pieces from this era of divine worshipers in Italian museums are astonishing, they are intact as if they had been made yesterday. The little tomb in front of the worshipers' chapels at Medinet Abu appears very small, as all the pieces are in Italy and may have been discovered elsewhere in the early days of Egyptology at the beginning of the 19th century. From everything I've read and watched since I was a child, I reaffirm that this incredible documentary is already part of the History of Egypt. Congratulations !

Excellent that. A period of ancient Egyptian history which does'nt usually get much coverage. Excellent that Curtis.

In Nubia, the Nubian Queens were so powerful. I'm talking about stong spiritualy. The spirits of Nubia still rule. Ancesters are still guides for their peoples.

You have nailed it again Curtis with a top class History Documentary .

The 25th dynasty wasn't ruled by "Nubians" it was ruled by Kush. That is the name the people of the dynastic kingdom used for the southern regions, even during the 18th dynasty, when they conquered the south and put in place something called "Kings son of Kush". That was an administrative position that was responsible for managing the lands to the South. And during this timeframe of the 18th dynasty and later, the Southern regions were incorporated into the dynastic kingdom as one empire and those Southerners incorporated into the culture and political system of the dynastic kingdom. And as part of this extension to the South, the priests of Amun and Amun worship was also extended to the South as being the origin and birthplace of Amun at Gebel Barkal. So that "Southern dynasty" technically extended all the day down to Kush. And this is why those Kushites invaded the north, under the pretext of a "holy war" to restore Maat and the glory of Amun who abided at Gebel Barkal and Piye the first to conquer, ruled from Napata in Kush and not from Thebes.

Also, keep in mind that the South is from where the culture of the Nile originated and was periodically refreshed, such as the Middle Kingdom (prophecy of Neferti) and also the New Kingdom both of which originated from the South with archers from further South. In fact the Amun worship came to the forefront with the Southern kings of the Middle Kingdom. And the first use of the term gods wife of Amun actually originated with Ahmose Nefertari who was the wife of the first pharoah of the New Kingdom and worshiped as a divine ancestor in later eras. Also, keep in mind that the temple of Abu Simbel was built in the Upper Nile near Kush to partly celebrate the birthplace of Hathor and Queen Nefertari who also likely was from the South.

Also, since Curtis likes mummies, it is important to note that the 21st dynasty of Herihor was a renaissance in culture on the Nile and it was during this period that most mummies and tombs that were plundered were repaired and restored. With most mummies found in the 19th century being from caches created in this era. Also this was the height of mummification on the Nile, as can be seen in the mummies of the 21st dynasty such as Nodjmet, who obviously has African features (ie, southerners). Most records indicate that a lot of the plundering in the prior eras came from the chaos in the North and the rise of the Libyan rulers in the north.

Wow, I love documentaries like this. I liked before watching.
Thanks, looking forward to more interesting docs. on this channel.
😊😊❤👍

[happypeasanthomestead]

Your work is interesting and always beautifully presented.

[shayvajasjeet]

Thank God. ! Nothing about Tut, Ramses II, Akhnaton, Pyramides etc... Just pure and magnificent Egyptology

[ArtisticallyArranged]

I had not heard of either of the two Amenirdis' before and what fascinating women they were! *

I love that you explore female rulers and other important female figures, that often are not recognised by other documentarians.

*I should have watched to the end, BEFORE commenting. 😉
Also that little boy's mummy was so sad, but amazing. You could really see what he must have looked like, when he was alive. 💗

[TorieJimenez]

Love your documentary curtis and your history of egypt i look forward to more of your documentary .

[carolesmith]

Thank you Curtis for another interesting documentary, Take care and see you soon 😊🤗

[pendragonsxskywalkers]

That is great documentary on Nubian dynasty! 😍😍😍 It deserves more views. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 (But one correction - Taharqa was not killed in battle. He retained full control over Thebes and Southern Egypt until his, presumably natural, death.)

[melissapena]

Curtis, you did it again. I don't know why your not on the history Channel! I love all your documentaries. Enjoy learning about different areas and those times. Egypt.
