Whenever I see a comment on these videos that are very biased or wrong, I just tell them that. I don’t sugar coat the stupidity.

Perfect, TV presenter with the touch of a professional actor. A wonderful and dramatic script that develops according to the ( action).. event. Professional photography, directing and soundtrack. Everything is wonderful. Sending you perfume greetings from Heliopolis, Cairo.

I would kill to have something like that jar holding the resin. Such a important piece of history.

Love love love you Dr. Fletcher, and thank you so very much for this gift ! I recently discovered I am 10% Egyptian/Levantine/Persian, and this is so inspiring :)

wow that tomb is gorgeous.

If you want to read an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS novelization of Hatshepsut's Life, her reign, and the usurpation of her position as Pharaoh by her stepson, Thutmosis IV, kgnown as "The Napoleon Of Egypt." The novel is "CHILD OF THE MORNING" by Pauline Gedge. A woman novelist, writing about a Woman Pharaoh. What could be more RIGHT? Ms. Gedge was also the author of "STARGATE". An amazing female novelist who loves all things "EGYPTIAN".

Great shows, fascinating topic.

I enjoy her as an actor she does a good job, knows her information and expresses it well.

I love learning from a professional!

I bet there are more tombs under that sand waiting to be discovered.

There are still numerous missing Pharoahs and queens that haven't been found. Nefertiti is one.

These comments do not pass the vibe check 😬

Enjoy Professor Joann Fletcher’s videos but how do we know who decided on the decorations on the monuments?

I would love to go to Nefertari’s tomb🥰

The red temple of hatshepsut.

Love her or hate her, Dr Fletcher knows her stuff; she is an eminently qualified Egyptologist. The script of this documentary however is simplified and selective, perhaps overly so. She tells us that not one scene in Nefertari's tomb was wasted and that the tomb was a 'machine' designed to bring about her transfer into the afterlife. This is correct, therefor there is no need, none, to depict her husband Ramsses II. If you find yourself interested in any of these royal women, get up, turn off KZread and read about them.

Dear Dr. Fletcher. You are always mentioning about the unique and appealing life style and religious believes of the ancient Egyptian people. Extraordinary medicinal knowledge, outstanding peaceful religious believes (not common in any other old religion), best treatment to women, unique architecture... We are their neighbors, once the Phoenicians and now Lebanon and we have plenty of Egyptian people working in Lebanon, and still they are peaceful and very happy funny people. One thing I yet haven't found about them is the negative side in their society during the Pharaohs rule. Can you help with that please? Thank you.

Queen Hatshepsut was the best pharaoh.

Thanka

They can't "rest in peace", because they will never be left. If archeologists won't look for them, then robbers will.

@@carolsalter9002 … but without archaeologists doing what they do, then you wouldn’t have anything to complain about lol - you wouldn’t have a reason to act superior because you feel you’re more respectful than them for doing a job they love doing because of their passion for history. You’d never learn about their rituals. You’d never know their beliefs, traditions, daily lives, how their economy was, their artwork and how it was done, the things they valued, what they wore, how they had progressive inventions for their limited resources compared to our modern times, etc. - if it wasn’t for this stuff being uncovered, studied, protected, and preserved for historical purposes to learn the stories of our ancestors … then future generations wouldn’t ever be able to study and learn about these historical moments in time. Moments that are very important and show what humans are truly capable of … We wouldn’t know any of this if no one had any curiosity because there was an arbitrary line where they could not cross due to respectfulness (which is subjective from culture to culture or even person to person - what one deems as being a disrespectful act may be considered respectful for another). I’d much rather see these sites be uncovered and preserved so they can continue to remain intact for several more centuries. Yes, a lot of these places house the remains of lives long gone, but they often do not know this until they’re already uncovering things. That’s just how archaeology is. I, for one, could only hope that several thousand years into the future that some team of beings uncover my grave and stick my body up on display somewhere for whatever life forms to gawk at, study, preserve, and create this big story about how I lived. If the afterlife is real, I will have left my body long before I’d ever be uncovered - fairly sure my future spirit wouldn’t give a damn what happens to my pile of bones, either.

43:18 that’s ALOT of text for so little said. I’m guessing it’s abbreviated?

Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchal culture can begin with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary ego death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3) To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGShktyDg6ise5M.html "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba "My son, keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother" - Proverbs 6 : 20
