Real historical Imhotep watching "The Mummy (1991) and The Mummy: Returns (2001). Probably make the high priest jaw dropped, disgusted and rolling his eyes that his reputation in the future would make him an enemy to his beautiful ancient kingdom. After all the movie were prevalent of him throwing apocalypse to the very nation he was born and subjugating the masses like the evil god Seth.
Fun fact about Egypt: the pyramids would be considered ancient even when Egypt was still a civilization. If you made a timeline and put the pyramids on 1 side and space flight on the other. Cleopatra was born closer to space flight than the pyramids

With 12.2m subs, they can afford to pay a fair amount of people to research their topics. I can’t even imagine how much money this channel makes. I’m not in any way saying anything against it, they’ve earned it. Just giving my perspective. With the ‘recycled’ topics, I think they likely have people who either learn or are already experts write tons of show content, then break them up into smaller episodes and cycle them in periodically. 12-19 minutes is the perfect video length in my opinion. Much shorter than that and you can’t get info in, and not everyone has 30-40 minutes to watch YT videos. They got it right, and it’s seemingly allowed them to build a YT empire.

Funny thing about the egyptian afterlife is that despite it being built on the concept of permanence and being remembered forever, a large degree of their monuments and burial grounds were destroyed and looted often by future pharoahs to build their own various contructs. I think thats pretty telling of human nature and history in general.

Those weren’t Egyptians that did that those where Roman,Greek,Persian rulers who had conquered egypt. Modern people truly don’t know the difference between real Egyptians and conquers and it’s sad that people really only talk about the part of egypts history when Egyptians no longer ruled! The last real Egyptian pharaoh was Ramses ii, he’s called the great pharaoh cause he took egypts kingdom back from the conquerors! His reign was not the most powerful period of Egyptian history either that was 9-10k years before him but they won’t tell you about that cause they still can’t figure it out! It’s honestly simple cause we wrote about it! They only know 5-6% of our language anyway so they’ll never figure it out! So funny to watch them try though! I am grateful however for the little they have figured out cause it brought us real ones back to our heritage, the ancestors made it so only we would truly understand but we needed a spark so thank you! Now move out the way and let us tell our own story! Also those imposters in egypt now are not Egyptians!

It meant that power stayed in the same family. If you look at Japanese history, there was an attempt by one family to keep marrying different members of their family into the imperial line. Eventually the emperor would have been descended from that line and the original imperial line would have been extinct. So it's ick, but from a certain standpoint, makes sense.
Interesting tidbit about the headpieces as side from the Nemes... The white crown symbolised (control over) the upper part of the Nile region while the red crown symbolised (control over) the lower part of the Nile region. Both together symbolised (control over) both regions. They also had a blue crown-like headgear (called the Khepresh) that was basically their military headgear and a white headdress with feathers called the Atef, used specifically for religious occasions.

What an informative video! Great work as always.
I just finished our lesson on ancient Egypt In history class when you posted this.
As always, I love the content.
Nice video, as always!
I've been subscribed to this channel for years; I remember their very first narrator. I've noticed a weird trend lately in the comments section. It started out with one or two comments, but now I'm seeing them everywhere.... And it's the comments that indicate that they think this channel is run by one person, putting out multiple videos each week, and then the comment goes on to praise the "person" and how amazingly talented that "person" is, and how we need to stop and reach out and appreciate this "person". And yeah, this channel has some great content, they post often, and the narrator is excellent, but y'all know that this is not the work of one person, right? Please tell me you know that there is a team of people putting in hours and hours of work on these, and it's not one madman cranking out these videos from his basement every day. The weird, obsequious, incessant praise for the "person" that does the videos is a bit much. I do, however, very much appreciate the team associated with this content; they usually get the facts right a majority of the time, and generally stay away from complete sensationalism, and the content comes out pretty consistently as well. So thank you, Infographics Staff, for entertaining and educating me on the regular.

Great video as always. But, you show what appears to be a saguaro cactus multiple times. However, cactus is a new world plant and thus would not have been a part of the Egyptian landscape at the time. The old world corollary is euphorbia, which can look similar. So, apologies in advance if this is a euphorb that I’m confusing with a cactus.

Futurama did a very accurate depiction of the Pharaoh. Everyone should check it out...
A good synopsis, we have to remember that by the end of the reign of the pharoes the pyramids were already 3000 years old. for example, the reference to human sacrifices comes from the very first dynasty of rulers that reigned even before the pyramid age. The Egyptians changed this practice through the use of small wooden figurines called chapty that were supposed to come to life once the tomb was sealed and the rites completed.
2 things. 1. You got the Pyramids wrong. (You show them as they are now not as they were then). 2. There are no cactii in ancient Egypt. Thanks for the upload, always appreciated.

In the Holy Quran it is mentioned that Pharao has not been accepted by water, land and even air. That is why God still preserved his body, and the body will remain the same until doomsday. He claimed to his people that there can be no other God for his people other than himself. His body was found perhaps in 19th century in the Sea which is still preserved till date and it is in a museum in Turkey. "So, today, We shall save your body, so that you may become a sign for those after you. And many of the people are heedless of Our signs." Surah (Chapter) Yunus (Jonah) 10 : 92

Actually being a Pharaoh was fraught with potential risks and problems. They coveted being revered by the people lest those people not adorate them after death - at which point there would be no afterlife awaiting them. Further they were always fearful of famine and the plight of the people which might lead them to rise up against the government. Further that government more and more saw power reside in the priests and the "nomarchs" - or regional governors who may or may not accede to Pharaonic authority. By the New Kingdom the priest class were the largest landowners in ancient Egypt as opposed to the Pharaoh. Over time the bureaucracy held the real power. So Tutankhamen abandoning the monotheism of his father Akhenaten to return to the polytheism preferred by the priests and the people demonstrates just how vulnerable the Pharaohs were to outside stressors. Final example. The famous "strike papyrus" details how workers in the Valley of the Kings upon not being paid their due wages went on strike and threatened to turn to tomb robbing unless the Pharaoh relented and paid them - which he did. That does not bespeak of a purported "supreme ruler" whose word is absolute law. Pharaohs were really only Pharaoh so long as everyone agreed and played along.
