Ancient Egypt Dynasty by Dynasty - The First Intermediate Period / Dynasties VII-XI

In this video, we'll examine the period of ancient Egyptian history known as the First Intermediate Period. It was a chaotic time when the over millennia-old political system of Egypt broke down and new "dynasties" started popping up in various parts of the country.

Seems in those times a global climate crisis ocurred, not just affecting Egypt.
It is known as the 4.2-kiloyear event and scholars still discuss the causes for it.
Other civilizations also collapsed, as the Akkadian Empire of Mesopotamia, weakened by famine and finally invaded by the "savage" gutians.

There is the theory that 70 kings for 70 days is somehow connected with the 70 days of mummification, as if there was some commotion during his burial.

As an aside, as a Chinese to me the ancient Egyptian (and many other stable agrarian river valley culture's) association of only having one single sovereign as legitimate and reflecting harmony and stability is quite interesting.

Found your channel through History Time. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites and this series has gotten me hooked on Egyptology.

A cliff hanger by Cy, my favorite YouTube storyteller... dam now I need to wait.

I hate YouTube for not notifying me about this as soon as robotically possible.
Yet another banger, Mr. Cy.

Enjoying these.
Since Mentuhotep IV comes up in my research around this time, and the probable time of the birth of Abram, I'm guessing the XI Dynasty might've succeeded in the war to restore egypt to the middle kingdom . I look forward to seeing if I guess correct.
