Brilliant, simply brilliant. I have no other words for it, other than :,,Ancient Egypt is a Beautiful Realm of the Cosmic Order, one of the most astonishing Civilization that history has presented to us in the past. Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar of the Res Publica Romanum married to Queen Cleopatra of the Ptolemaic Kingdom from Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra was descendant of Ptolemy I Soter of Makedonia who defeated Darius III at the battle of Gaugemela in Mesapotamia under the subliminal leadership of Philippos II and Alessandros III Omegas of Makedonia from the Argread Dynasty who ruled over a huge Empire and were inspired by people like Homerus who wrote the Iliad and Odyssey."

the bible pulls tons and tons of ancient pseudo-histories that had, until compiled together, mostly been oral histories. the story of moses and the flood, similarly, comes from an old sumerian myth/pseudo-history, too. theres evidence that there WAS a massive, devastating flood in the area historically, but the biblical level of detail is probbbbably mostly the work of embellishment via oral history. im guessing the djoser/joseph famine story is similar, especially with the whole power-tripping, insecure god coming down to throw a tantrum about his temple not being shiny enough aspect.

He was a LEGEND.

Merry Xmas 🎄 Sweater Boy 👦

Haha Simon, you've already done a Biograpgics video on the Fourth Dynasty.

Please create a channel where you talk about mythological people or legends

The 7 years of famine in Djoser's reign sounds like the Biblical story of Joseph where there were initially 7 years of prosperity followed by 7 years of famine & want. This famine was throughout the Middle/Near East... In this Bible passage, God spoke to Pharaoh in 2 dreams via the dreams of the fat 🐄 s & emaciated 🐄 s & the healthy grain & withered grain... Some say that Joseph lived at a later time, but this is not quite certain...

Can you please make a video on John Langalibele Dube and Charlotte Manya Makgomo Maxeke 🥺🙏?

if the name Imhotep sounds familiar then might i say that the real-life Imhotep and the one from The Mummy staring Brenden Fraiser are two different people. the one in the movie lived during the time of Seti I who if not mistaken is from a different and later dynasty.

@@shanosantwanos3908 1st and foremost how dare you include Plato's name in a list filled with so many total idiots. Not 1 of the names on your list is even an egyptologist so why you made that list is beyond me. Graham Hancock is a known liar just watch any of his videos. He has twisted facts and misrepresented them just to provide evidence for his BS ideas of an ancient advanced civilization. He has even been debunked on British tv. Ralph Ellis is someone i am not familiar with but he appears to be just a surveyor with a computer science background......He also seems to believe in some technical civilization also. A civilization that has yet to be proven ever existed outside of these fools imaginations. Michael Tsarion no clue who he is but i bet ya he is not qualified to even be in a list with Joanne Fletcher let alone fricken Plato. John West is just another author and another fool that thinks water erosion on a rock dates the sphinx to be older. Which is wrong. The water erosion is not on any carved part of the sphinx which actually would be good evidence its only on the outer rim of the enclosing wall. Great job guys all of you managed to prove the rock came before the sphinx, gee thanks guys but everyone had already figured that out. Velikovsky is yet another author. So many authors in this list an not 1 of em even worth mentioning. This dude is mostly concerned with catastrophes of the past and only mentions egypt to point out parallels between the biblical and egyptian history. How the hell does this dude make the list? The pyramids as tombs has never been debunked and yes there is proof you are just a blind man following way to many blind men. You wanna do some critical research, huh? Try looking up what was found in Djoser's sarcophagus and explain how that got there. Theres plenty of proof if you would actually do your own research and stop following these blabbering idiots.

@@mattking993 Yes I have watched her video documentaries. She would referrence the historical region of Egypt called Nubia as inhabited by Black Africans who mimick Egyptian culture. At some point, she would point south of Egypt as 'Africa' as if Egypt is not in Africa. The Kingdom of Kush was situated in Nubia, a region that also traverse Ancient and modern Egypt. In fact, Upper Egyptians who founded Pharaonic Egypt came from Lower Nubia. The royal family of Kush came from Kerma, a kingdom founded initially as a Nome by a son of the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. The settlements/pre-Dynastic Kingdoms of Badari, Naqada & Ta Seti gave birth to the Kingdoms of Egypt and Kush. . So, the people of Kush or the inhabitants of the region Nubia were not mimicking the Egyptians. They were practising their culture native to the Nile Valley with roots at Nabta Playa in North-West Sudan / southern Libya.
