    To put how old ancient Egypt was in perspective, I like to point out that Cleopatra lived closer to present day than when the pyramids were built. I don’t know the exact dates but the pyramids were built 4,500 years ago and Cleopatra lived just over 2,000 years ago

The aliens living in antarctica are training them in every type of martial arts known to both their kind and mankind, then will unleash their evil flying cyborg fish army. At least that is what I think he is trying to say.

    He wasn't "robbed," well he was, but not the way that we view robbing. He never actually ruled. He was manipulated into hating his father and really the rest of his family. Which, is actually sad, for as far as "fatherly love" goes, there are relief statues that seem to show him and his siblings playing with Akhenaten and his beloved chief wife. He's famous just because his grave managed to survive being pillaged. Otherwise, he'd have probably gone into obscurity for the most part.

    Nino A if it doesn't matter what people look like 2000 years ago, then why not betray the ancient people of Kemet as their true color which in today's terms would be black. What if they made a movie about slavery and made all the slaves white people and the slave masters black, or they made a movie about Albert Einstein and portrayed him as a jet black Ethiopian would you think that would be okay? Obviously it matters what these people look like to Europeans, because they cannot portray these people as the black Africans that they were. It's not why does it matter to us it's why does it matter to them.

I think the fighting would stop when Europeans stop betraying black people as white people. You don't understand the insult to injury that does to people around the world. It's called whitewashing and when it stops the fighting will stop. With all due respect

    Don't know if you know this, but there was a pharaoh's tomb even more complete than Tut's, but it never became famous and was forgotten due to when it was discovered: WW2. It even had a silver, not gold, coffin, which is curious because gold was more common than silver in Ancient Egypt, and because gold represented skin whereas silver represented bones. So, dunno why he had a bones-coffin, but meh.

    I think that the original commenter was talking about the implied assumption that other people who were slaves served the Pharaoh in ways that were easier than the backbreaking pyramid work which was not done by slaves. There was certainly slavery in Egypt as in virtually all ancient civilizations, but the work on the pyramids was done by paid labor. A point which was totally missed by the guy wearing the glasses. But that wasn't the worst of it. The guy also misplaced the Hebrew bondage by more than a freekin THOUSAND years. He placed the Hebrew bondage which occurred about 1300 years AFTER the pyramids, to a time long BEFORE the pyramid age. I hate to be picky, but whatever the guy with the glasses is......he's not an historian. Historians generally like to date the events of history somewhat closer than 1300+ years.

  • @jean-pierredelorraine6161

    I love this concise outline of world history. There is no evidence that the pyramids of the Nile valley were constructed by the Pharaonic culture. The pyramids must have existed already way before the rise of this civilization. No graves of pharoahs have been found in the pyramids. It is difficult to date organic material such as stone, but signs of water erosion on the Sphynx, for example, would suggest its existence in antedeluvian times (prior to the last glacial period). Megalithic structures such as the pyramids, the ruins at Tiahuanaco in the Bolivian Highlands, Teotihuacan in Mexico are anomalies. It was common in antiquity for subsequent cultures to bury their dead in or near pre-existing structures which they considered holy. The abundance of unexplained megalithic sites suggests an ancient global civilization which must have existed prior to 17 000 B.P. (before present). Such sites have even been found well under the current sea level all around the globe. Unfortunately, such data has not made it into our history books (I call them propaganda books) as it would mean revising our entire timeline. Keep up the good work.
