    Do people see her carry a umbrella... Yes, just proved to me about ancient Kemet being indigenous black Africans. White/Olive skin people couldn't even do that now working on pyramids? They don't even consider the sun? The ancient Kemetic wore half-pleated kilts and no shirts. Ha.ha, in 90 to 120 degree weather and didn't rain.

    The true biblical Egyptians and the 12 tribes of Israel were black people. the black people in western, central, south, and east Africa. The west and the world need to stop spreading their propaganda lies. When Yahshua comes back. everyone will see and accept the truth. YOU PEOPLE IN THE WEST, EAST, HAVE TRIED TO COVER UP BLACK HISTORY BUT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DOING IT. You people have lied to the whole world. You take the Torah(holy bible) and whitewash it. you take black history and whitewash it. if you guys could take Egypt out of the continent of Africa, you would. just to cover up your generational lies and deceit. the ancient city of Atlantis is in the continent of africa.

    Dear Joanne, I have always enjoyed your material. Thank you so much. I am now almost 80. I recall my dad bringing home a book when I was about 5. He bought it at the book barrows that used to seel on Subays at the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. It was published by Blackies and was clothbound in green. I was a very early reader and I devoured this from cover to cover many times. I particularly remember the drawing of the face of the mummy of Ramesses II. Sadly, in the course of life I moved many times, and the book is now lost to me. Never did I think that one day I would have the supreme privilege of looking on the actual face. Hi Sisi! In 1973, when I waS 30, I achieved my heart's desire and made my first visit to Egypt. I took it all in, flying on Antonov planes on the internal flights. Since then I have made many return visits, and going there is almost like going home now. The smell of the desert as I exit the door of the plane is like a kiss. Getting romantic here so enough. My favourite places in Egypt are the tombs of 1. Rekhmire, and 2, Sennufer. The great temples are awe-inspiring, of course. But I would never have been part of a Pharaonic court. Thank you for so much. David.

    Lovely tale David but it's very dangerous to visit Giza now. My mum refused to go because they were to be escorted on the bus by armed guards plus a bus in front full of them and behind the tourist bus, was a second one full of armed guards. This was in the early 2000s when my parents were there. Tourists were being taken around the back of the pyramids, robbed and some were murdered. My father was willing to go, as I would have but mum said, no way. She's been to many North African countries and said, she wouldn't return as they're just not safe and blonde ladies are harassed in the streets and she couldn't bear the impoverished chihdren, running after their jeep and the filth. She saw a old lady urinate in the dusty street and a huge rat, in Egypt too. She rathers Western countries these days.

    I'm amazed to have received so many responses and readers. Thank you all. I should explain that Sisi is how Ramesses II was called en famille. I Read. that somewhere but have forgotten the source. For me it makes me see him in a very human way. I missed the 1973 war thankfully. I did however go to Egypt during the first gulf war and had the wonderful experience of being the only visitor in the temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu. For a small baksheesh was allowed to climb to the t of the south pylon. I was hoping I might catch sight of Malkata, site of the palace of Amenhotep III. Just. desert alas. The Egyptians' opinion was Saddam Hussein was " huwa magnun" - he's crazy. I love Joanne's style of presentation. She takes Egypt out of the dusty museums and brings it alive for me. Good wishes to all!

That people who live on the other side of the globe or millennia ago are in many ways not that different from us in many significant ways. I congratulate you on your emotional and mental openness. Conversely, I don’t think it is mere coincidence that petty, small-minded, self absorbed people like Putin, Trump, and others of their ilk traveled little or not at all during their first decades of life, have never had and continue to lack any real curiosity about others or the rest of the world, are inordinately egocentric and self-centered, and lack a willingness to learn about anything that doesn’t promise to personally profit them.

    It's TOTALLY misleading to say that Kha and Merit were :"Normal Egyptians" when, in fact, Kha and Merit were members of the Egyptian Nobility. No common Egyptian could hope to have one percent of the wealth Kha attained. Most Egyptians could not even afford mummification. Otherwise, it's a good documentary.

If anything, it is more accurate to state that the tomb of Kha and Merit tells us more about what an unlloted tomb of the Pharoah and his immediate family would look like than that of the common Egyptian. Kha literally was Pharoah's Chief Overeer of Building . He literally sat at the hand of the Pharoah.
