I agree that she is a talented presenter and her passion for ancient Egypt is inpsiring but I find a lot of her documentaries are eurocentric in that they do not acknowledge the atrocities commited by colonial Europeans powers and she seems to take no issue that European colonists stole what could be hundreds of thousands of artifacts and still today keeps them in museums such as the British Musems who in 2021 alone returned 5,300 artifacts to Cairo. Maybe it is because I am from a younger generation but it bothers me that she once cried at a mural in a tomb but omits how most of the artifacts that were ransacked have not yet been returned and it's been centuries leaving the sacred place still desecrated and Egypt owed justice.

I wish she and Mary Beard would do a massive ancient life series, they both seem to care about what life was and how it felt, along with the grand ideas of culture/history, very dynamic historical viewpoints!

She's a nut. Highly dramatic false narrative. She spreads the false orthodox view that the modern dynasties built pyramids as tombs. Mummies were not found in the pyramids. They are not designed as tombs. The time line alone does not fit. That's just the most obvious counterpoint. There's a lot of misinformation about Egypt from those who should know better.

She's soo passionate about egyptology! She even broke down and cried when walking into one tomb! She loves the study of it! And I love her for loving it!

Professor Fletcher makes me relive the excitement, the sense of wonder and the desire to know more and more about Ancient Egypt, which I felt first in 1972 when I read Otto Neubert's 'The Story of Tutankhamum'. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of his tomb; next year it will the one hundredth anniversary. Thank you.

Imagine being able to explore these ancient sites around 100 150 years ago when you could just walk right in on your own without anyone to stop you? It's hard to believe how advanced they really for 4000 years ago. I wonder how a person would become a artist or scribe.

Wow! I was so engrossed in this documentary that I lost all sense of time, outside noises and everything else. Joann Fletcher is a master storyteller as well as an amazing Egyptologist. When she entered the burial tomb of the the warriors who helped to reclaim Egypt from her enemies and showed the vast numbers of the dead the enormity and horror of that particular battle(s) and warfare in general really hit me hard. Thank you Odyssey for producing fabulous videos about ancient history. Your incredible historians and archaeologists make the past come alive with their knowledge and passion for their subjects. I’ve always loved history and am so grateful to see and learn new things about the past.

imagine being dumped in some dank tomb along with dozens of others, and having your final resting place look more like a landfill than a grave. the people don't care anymore of course, but there is something extremely sad about that idea of just being dumped somewhere after you trade life for eternity. this is what's coming for all of us, just becoming some collection of bones someplace. why is human life so unbearably tragic and hopeless?

Go watch UnchartedX and youll realise how many lies shes spreading. So they built these pyramids, then forgot how, then their people starve. Sound like the ultimate power of Egypt was rather brittle. Pay attention to how long it took to lay only the foundation for the great pyramid. They would have had to lay a block every 5 seconds, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to fit the timeline thats proposed. That doesnt include the mining, shaping and shipment of the stone, and does not even include the actual structure of the pyramid. Use your own critical thinking.

I enjoy her so much! She's awesome and her voice makes me enjoy sucking in all the info she shares. I do have a wonder about her...why does she wear black (absorbs the sun & heat rather than reflects it as white does in that sun & climate?) Is it, or could it be, out of respect or something else, if anyone knows?

Amazing to see a tomb in the side of a cliff out in the middle of nowhere be dug out and viewed so openly for the first time on camera … and the way she goes about everything is so respectful with how she tries to not step on any linen, bones, and tissue (meaning she’s not going in further than where the bare dirt floor ends and the remains begin as to not disturb anything despite it being very tempting to traverse further through the corridors to see if there is anything else towards the back). Such a great find. Makes you wonder how many more hidden areas are like that carved out by ancient Egypt in areas long overgrown and buried from time that are yet to be uncovered … or any other ancient civilization at that (just like how we’re still uncovering such amazing finds near Mt Vesuvius). Archaeologists have such a cool job. I know a lot of people may shame them and find their line of work to be disrespectful given what they do, but it’s one of those “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” type of things in a way. Most complaining would never rant about their work if there weren’t archaeologists uncovering these things that they can complain about in the first place. They’d never know anything about their lives, rituals, economies, etc. and would be in the dark about it all - essentially never knowing anything that leads them to complain in the first place (example: archaeologists uncovering a tomb to learn about rituals and study them to better understand what happened, people complain saying it’s disrespectful because they disturbed the tomb as it goes against the ancient civilization’s beliefs that they learned about, but they would never be able to even learn about such information to act as if they have more respect for their culture than the archaeologists if it weren’t for them uncovering these things and documenting them for people to learn about in the first place). I’d much rather have their stories and history continue on for many more centuries as opposed to being lost to time to be forgotten amongst decay. Learning about the past’s history is how we will attempt to do better for our future’s history. Uncovering these ancient civilizations, their rituals, beliefs, way of life, etc., being able to record them, put them on display, and protecting them at all costs for preservation is crucial for us to better understand our ancestors’ stories so we can contribute to helping our future generations and their history. Anyways … this documentary was so great to watch. Thank you all for putting this up for free for everyone to view!

Thank you, Joann!

I love Dr. Jo!

I agree with Dr. Fletcher that the ordinary ancient Egyptian lives were far more interesting, and deserve more respect. All we seem to know about the Pharaohs' lives were either colossal builders or warmongers. Their tombs are quite boring with the Book of the Dead text written throughout.

What an amazing archeologist, detective and story teller…

I wonder how many more tombs there are that are still hidden, that sand must have so much buried history waiting to be found.

I watched one of these Egyptian documentaries that didn't have her in it and it was unwatchable and also the presentable looked like the dragon from Mulan it was so hard to watch, glad this one has Joann in it

Joann Fletcher is my absolute favorite. She is so educated, yet down to earth. I love that wild red hair!

Fear and suspicion? Sounds like England’s Tudor Kings repeated the same mistakes of the past Kings of Egypt.

I often go to sleep to her voice. She’s quite learned and presents that knowledge in a way that’s understandable and enjoyable

Love those series about Egypt

The Hyksoss never developed the composite bow. The bow & arrow are a pure Egyptian invention, and so is the composite bow.

Absolutely love her!!! But I find it hard to finish a show cause of her naturally amazing ASMR voice. Lol 😂🥰😴

I can listen to Joann forever. She has the most pleasant voice and her knowledge is beyond amazing.

Every time I listen to her before bed I have the best dreams very vivid I can remember them too and sleeps ❤

Ohh Joann. Thank you for teaching me history while I'm napping

Being a deer hunter I've seen primitive all wood bows & arrows propel arrows all the way thru a deer and out the other side. A human would have stood a lot less chance. And these early people's dipped their arrows in manure and other spoiled mixtures as to cause slow painful infected wound & death. Far more effective than for example a musket.

Love this video!

Dr fletcher is so good. I watch everything I can find by her.

Such an incredible documentary. Thank you, professor.

Great information on a little-known period - she even incorporates some of the later findings in isotope analysis that suggests the Hyksos may not have been the invading force as previously depicted but rather the rise of a population of the descendants of foreigners who had lived in Egypt for at least a century and slowly rose through the ranks of government to obtain the power necessary to overthrow the ruling dynasty not so much as an invading force but as an internal coup. But she wisely is discreet about the promotion of this new idea, using nuanced phrasing through which she acknowledges her awareness of the research while at the same time, knowing that such a position is far from being established and even farther from being accepted, she is unwilling to categorically disregard the accepted story in favor of one that has limited support in the evidence published to date.

Probably because of the wealth of knowledge she has along with the massive amount of respect she has for the culture, so she wants to portray it as best she can - true to life as much as possible gathered from the data she has studied for years. Her past work is evidence of such. There isn’t a lot of people out there that can match her level of enthusiasm and story-telling while keeping things very respectful. No sense in doing an in-depth documentary about something if you have to cut out and hide away certain things … the knowledge doesn’t get to live on, and the point in these is to spread that knowledge to those willing to seek it out. She has visited Egypt numerous times and likely has very close connections there. I’m sure they know her work will be done tastefully (which is key when it comes to this stuff), therefore she can film certain things that others aren’t as privy to seeing or experiencing. (Edit to add: 30:51 - she states she was given special permission to view the warriors, so that further gives credence with her connections and role making a historical documentary)

The Old Kingdom famine period was harsh & severe.

When the bottom fell out of the Egyptian economy the priests raided the tombs of the kings to recover the riches they and their ancestors had buried in the sand. It was either that or die of starvation. Very sad.
