Vampire Chronicles: The Life Of Akasha 'Queen Of The Damned'

Akasha, The Great Mother, The Queen of Kemet, The Queen Of All Vampires, The Queen Of The Damned. Akasha’s journey stems back 6000 years ago and she is without a doubt the oldest living being in existence by a long shot. She has an incredibly unique and interesting story and despite the prep for this video taking a seriously long time to do, the end product I hope, will deliver justice on this amazing character and main antagonist from the Queen Of The Damned novel.

It literally took over a week to re-read the book Queen Of The Damned, then 3 days to pick it apart to structure Akasha's life follwed by about 4 days of editing. I was so drained after making it that i took a week off from youtube lol. So to finally see this beginning to slowly grow, really means the world to me! Thank you for the continued support.

Akasha & Enkil deserve their own movie to me so many epic materials to work with.

I think Anne Rice gave us the best version and origin of vampires.

Aaliyah would've liked this vid on her character. She will always b remembered as The Mother of Vampires and The Queen of the Damned. In a behind the scene she told us that she loved stories of vampires and Egypt since she was little.

Aaliyah IS the only reason the movies worth watching. Read the book, It’s one of the best stories you’ll ever read, promise.

RIP Aaliyah. She did such a good job with this character.

[dejalations]

I spent half my childhood trying to do Aaliyah’s Akasha walk — shes the reason why some of us got waists wit no bones in em! We all wanted to be like Aaliyah, matter fact I still do!

“She is your mother… she is my mother. She is the Queen of all who are Damned”

Some of the best lines in what was otherwise just an ok movie. Akasha was such a commanding and powerful persona in this film.

And this is one of the rare occasions where I prefer the look of a character in a movie rather than the book description

Aaliyah ate this role up and left no crumbs. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Akasha. Thank you for the video! Very informative.

She woke when Lestat played the violin for her. And Enkil attacked him. Marius believed she killed him because she was done with him. Because he was jealous of Lestat. And one sister ate the heart and the other the brain. They weren't sure who the new queen was at first.

If only the script didn't have to be reworked so drastically because the actor playing her, the successful musician and burgeoning actor, the multi talented *Aaliyah*, was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas during filming one of her music videos (the music video for Rock The Boat...one of my favorites by her)

[ericgardner]

Interesting fact...Anne Rice started her career as an Erotic Fiction author. I'm so glad she decided to branch out. If you like these books, try Ramses the Damned or as it's sometimes called "The Mummy", also by Anne Rice. It's a GREAT read.

The only one holding me back from hating that boring movie is Aaliyah as Queen Akasha. She is the most beautiful vampire I've seen and great actress for the vampire character.

[nomiwilliams]

Thank youuuu for this video... omggg. I read this book as a teenager, I was actually homeless and swatting in an basement storage unit of an apartment building, and I read this incredible book with a flood flashlight illuminated my little area. I got so caught up in this book that I forgot about my situation. I read all of Anne Rice Books during this time and this one blew my mind. Thank you for this it's outstanding.

[jarkody]

Excellent job on this! Akasha was one hell of a villain! If I were to add one thing to this it would be how Akasha astral projected during her slumber and lived inside other people, living vicariously through them.

[stephaniejordan]

I love how the narrator tells the Queen's Story hardly pausing for a breath.

[sakurapablo]

Aaliyah will forever be Akasha, no matter what, and she’ll be greatly happy about the discussion topic on the character she played.

Even though the character or characters, was supposedly be light skin people, from what I remember of doing light research or details of the book, I was surprised that everyone will have their own interpretations of how the characters would have look within their heads/mind. I still like the choice of having Aaliyah as Akasha. In which, I don’t know if Anne Rice would have approved of Aaliyah, but I think she did in the end in a weird secret way.

[shylapollard]

I like that they were statues instead of corpse in a coffin.

[harrytyler]

Akasha is actually a real deity. Sekhmet is her in Kemet. The blood drinker. Also she's a deity in India

[Letha-Mae]

Akasha the 6, 000+ year old God as she explains her plans for her to be the new God of the world and offers the vampires a chance to follow her as angels in her new world order. She planned to kill 90% of the world's HUMAN MEN and establish a new Eden in which WOMEN will worship Akasha as a goddess.... Aaliyah made this movie; she herself loved the book actually she loved all the books. She was a big fan of ANNE RICE.. she loved vampire's since she was little!! There couldn't be another remake of this movie bc she is gone she was made for this movie! Aaliyah's brother Rashad actually had to overdub some lines that were kinda difficult to understand bc of her accent that Aaliyah spent months learning.. Aaliyah had completed the film before she died in the crash but some of the Egyptian accent line's her character occasionally spoke was difficult to understand so Rashad who sound like his sister with the mellifluous voice re recorded a small portion of his sister's dialogue and they blended it in to make it seem like she had a sinister double sound but it was actually Rashad he was so proud to of helped his sister!! The beautiful Aaliyah just doesn't know how big of an icon she has become I truly believe if she would be alive she would be a major movie star!! She should of been called the Goddess of the Damned.. we love you Aaliyah rest in peace beautiful Queen 👑😓🤎🩸
