The Caliphates were even the ones which defaced Egyptian buildings and monuments (because idolatry was forbidden). Have you ever been to Egypt? Notice how almost all the exposed statues and hieroglyphics have their faces removed? Yes. Including the Great Sphinx. Ancient Egyptians did not do that (aside from a few attempts at historical erasures of certain rulers by their successors - e.g. Hatshepsut and Akhenaten).

Saddened at the prospect of slavery (however common it once was) but also proud that a lady, who wasn't of noble blood managed to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat and ensure stability for the country. To achieve all that she did in eight months is extraordinary! Many often say that Cleopatra VII Philopator was not only the last Ptolemaic queen (who also was predominately Greek) but the last queen of Egypt. I think Shajar Al-Durr should be considered the last sole queen of Egypt.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in egypt she is very famous, we studied her story "tomoh gareya=concubine ambition" in 9th grade in arabic literature beside her part in the history lessons about the Mamluks

Really great.

The ottoman queen kosem sultan was also a Greek concubine later she became the official regent of the ottoman empire thrice she ruled for her 2 sons and 1 grandson 1623-1632 1640-1644 1648-1651

I was just reading about this women, she proves women in Islam can be strong

I love the look of this animation!

amazing animation

Beautiful animation.

KUDOS TO THE NARRATOR!! (I think that’s the word 😅) YOUR PRONUNCIATION OF THE ARABIC WORDS & NAMES IS SO GOOD!!!

i love this channel

The way the narrator says the names is beautiful

Nice video.

I need this to be a movie

I am a native Egyptian I appreciate that she made this wonderful video and she can speak Arabic

I feel like I like these historical videos a lot more than the riddles

As an egyptian, my grandma’s hometown is El-Mansoura, and im pleased for a story about my country.

The narrator's voice hau🥰. We need more of her in the next videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love human history. The mindset of humans has not changed, but the threads of life they play out is always interesting.

She was first beaten with sandals to death by servants before thrown off the Cairo citadel. I would like to say that I admire the good Arabic accent and the correct pronunciation of names. probably an Arab narrator?

She’s not a secret 😅. I did my masters thesis on her architectural legacy ;) We definitely need a mini series on her life!

I learned about her recently. I saw this and knew I wanted more

PSA. The word (madrasa) that is included in Shajar Al-Durr's Mausoleum means school, usually a grade school.

I've noticed that a lot of concubines/mistresses become rulers in history: Empress Wu Zetian, Shajar al-Durr, Anne Boleyn, etc.

Wu Zetian is my personal fav

Im proud saying that I did one of my academic presentations on Shajar Al-Durr, this video was my reference.

Why is there not a movie about her??

I wanna grow up and tell my children the stories in this channel as bed time stories

If you do, please don't miss the most unique parts like they did here. (Atleast according to our schools 80 page long story) Um Ali who was taking revenge on her, killed her with WOODEN FLIP-FLOPS. Also after that was done, she celebrated by making the dessert dish called Um Ali and spreading it on Egyptians, very easy recipe dessert

Yaaassss!! Work Queen!

I love when the narrator say :"Shajar Al Durr "

She is not forgotten, thanks to Ted Ed I got to know about her..

fun fact the house king louise was kept in as a prisoner (daar ibn luqman) mostly remains the same to this day just like the poem had warned invaders, "daar ibn luqman remains with the shackles and "tawashy sobeeh."." who gaurded the house

I love the narrator able to say all the names correctly.

This feels like a chronicle from a movie insane

We need a movie about this.

The name Shajar Al-Durr just sounds so cool, and añso with a beautiful meaning

W animation, better than usual

Mansourah (city) has been mentioned in a ted ed lesson 🤩🤩 that's brilliant 😍

Sounds like this would make a good show.

Interesting 👍

Imagine being such a bad ruler that even the people who are supposed to be serving you, and in a culture where women aren't supposed to rule, are willing to assassinate you so that your stepmom can take your place.

2:32 Fun fact: When French king Louis was captured, his wife queen Margaret of Provance became de facto leader of the remaining French forces in the port city and negotiated the king's ransom. So basically it was two queens negotiating btween France and Egypt.

Queens slayyyy

The battle leading to Louis IX's capture was planned by Baibars al-Bunduqdari, a Mamluk sultan though Shajar's considerable contribution was undeniable. Unfortunately, the Mamluks would later aid in Shajar's fall and execution, and Baibars himself outlived Shajar by 20 years. Such is life.
