*Egyptian Side of the Story* Since the Israelites were never in Egypt. What are you talking about. You can't deny nothing.
One very little know fact is that there were a lot of Greek philosophers that hated the art of poetry since they reviled it for the same reasons why most people love it for. Some like Plato even when as far as to call poets charlatans or even demonically possessed . Also in some Islamic cultures there is an associations with poetry and the possession by entities called djinn . And I think it was Pythagoras that first applied mathematics to the art of music which ultimately lead to some kind of myth about how he invented music it self . And I think the word cinema is actually Greek in origin meaning moving picture.
Hi Brandon, This is really interesting. I was not aware of it, thanks for sharing!
👍.

There is no such thing as "Sub Saharan Africa" from the time period discussed in this video🙄 Nubia is older than Kemet by thousands of years. they have a photo of a tomb of a king in the Nubian museum in Aswan that is 14,000 years old. This is a bogus video🙄
Phoenicians were the capitalists of the ancient world. Their book was, "The Book of Aquisition."
I wonder if they had a chapter on haggling for the best prices in the ancient markets!
Nonsence....
The best Marijuana on the planet comes from the Kush
You wouldn't be talking from personal experience now would you ? 😁.
Kush, the king of the crop! Sounds like a royal high to me!
Maybe he just got a crystal ball...or a time machine!
One theory I heard was that akhenaten push towards his form of monotheism might have just been one big political ploy to reduce the power of the priesthood of amun. But I think he probably genuinely believed in this new faith he founded considering how far he went to erase all other aspects of religion in Egypt. And it was during the first dynasty is were we first saw subsidiary burial , were the Pharoah was entombed was some of his guards , slaves, wives and servants. But this tradition seems to have died out around the time of the third dynasty.And if my memory is serving me right Ra was said to originally been a minor deity in the pantheon until the rise of the fifth dynasty where his importance was elevated much high. And the fifth dynasty is so connected with Ra that they would famously build alot of temples dedicated to the sun and they would also . Reference Ra in their names to the point that they were called the sun king dynasty.
It might be, Brandon. He initially erected statues for the other gods at Karnak. He only started worshipping Aten and destroying statues for all the others after his second or third year of ruling. Also, you always mention something about the upcoming video. Gods up tonight!
Egypt and Nubia also had a very love hate relationship, with one minute they are Waring and fighting . Then the next minute they are exchanging culture and trading peacefully. And fun fact esarhaddon was famously obsessed with astrology/divination and he basically had a whole branch of his government dedicated just to divining the future. But some of the diviners didn't liked him very much and allegedly kept some of the revealed signs away from him. And taharqa was said to be a key ally of the Israelites when they were fighting off an invading enemy force.
Talk about mood swings!
True .

Wow
Obviously not a historian.
The last book of the Bible is named The Revelation of Saint John the Divine. The word Revelation is singular. Saying the "Book of Revelations" (plural) indicates that you're referring to Gnostic works not included in the Bible.
The maker of this video is obviously anti-Jewish. It's as if they completely erase the culture and history of the Jews. Thumbs down from me.
the phoenicians had a syllabet, with 22 sympols, they represent only the first consonant of the syllable...in greece they used much earlier a syllabet, called Linear B, that had 90 symbols, represented all their vowels, all their syllables starting with a consonant and followed by different vowels, and all their double consonants..Myceneans deities were earlier than those of Phoenicians, there are arhaeological inscriptions verifying it
illiterate people.......not alphabet, it was a syllabet...do you know the substantial difference?
You mean a syllabary. There's no such thing as a syllabet.
@@Ggdivhjkjl well, the correct word was "syllabarium" it comes from the Greek word "ΣΥΛΛΑΒΑΡΙΟΝ" using romanization, syllabary as it was transformed in modern English dictionaries from the initial in romanization/Latin....alphabet comes from the Greek word "ΑΛΦΑΒΗΤΑΡΙΟΝ", after truncation "ΑΛΦΑΒΗΤ..", alphabet in romanization, 'syllabet' as a word was used by some scholars , when they were arguing about the origin of the Phoenician writing system, claiming that it was not an alphabet and had its origin in the Linear A of Minoan Crete civilization

Am not sure on this point but from what I have learned (if my memory is serving me right) one of the reasons why the purple products that made were so expensive was because it . Took either a thousands or a hundred thousand murachs to make enough dye to color their clothing. And Hercules is actually the roman name of the Greek demi god.
Hi Brandon, I have seen different quantities mentioned, even 25000. This is o quote from the internet: David Jacoby remarks that "twelve thousand snails of Murex brandaris yield no more than 1.4 g of pure dye, enough to colour only the trim of a single garment." It is a crazy amount that justifies a high price.
Artemis was apollos twin.
That's right. This one's one us.
U got it wrong artemis n athena arent twins they r sisters
That is correct. Just noticed the mistake. It was meant to be Apollo.
@@culturepassport Your welcome NP
I have a few questions here because as a lover of Greek mythology I never heard any account where artemis was the twin of or helped to deliver Athena since, Athena was supposed to have been born fully grown and in battle armour from Zeus's head after he had hephaestus hit him in the head with an axe to stop his headache. What I have learned was that Artemis helped to deliver her twin brother Appollo after she was born first/rapidly grown up, and after seeing the blood and pain of her mother she swore to be a virgin. I don't know of any account of Artemis being the patron of women in labor since according the myth that was supposed to be the domain of Hera's and Zeus's daughter Eileithyia . Who according to myth Was ordered by hera to cruelly seal Leto's womb so she couldn't birth Artemis and Appollo as a way to spite Zeus. Though I have learned that Artemis was said to be the protector of young children and this was demonstrated in a myth were a young boy accidentally saw here bathing in the wilderness and . Normally she would have killed any male that even accidentally saw her bathing like the story of that hunter she turned into a dear before making him get eaten by his own hunting dogs . but she decided to turn the boy into a female and make her apart of her hunting group. Anyway sorry about how long this insane tirade was and I really hope I didn't come of as pretentious or disrespectful 😅.
Hi Brandon, just realised the mistake. Apollo's the twin and is him whom Artemis helped to deliver at birth. Is good you've noticed. I'll try to edit this out. Not sure how we've fumbled this one.
It's alright to error is to human as the old saying goes.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support 🥹
Sounds smart
Glad you like it!
What's a Lawrence?
Hi David, Thanks for passing by. Did you hear this in the video?
Fun fact many of the Greek/roman statues that we see were originally painted in a variety of bright colors and were even at times dressed in fine clothing or furs. Though for some reason the discovery of the statues being painted had invoked intense anger in some crazies of the ethnic kind for some unknown reason ?. Oh yes and it's a good thing you brought up the raise of Christianity in Rome because there was a period of fanatical Christians going around and smashing Greek/Roman statues , because they had became convinced that demonic entities were living in them . But luckily there were sane and wiser Christians that did their best to put a stop to it.
That’s interesting! And related to being wiser Christians, yes, luckily. We had a similar conversation before.
Oh yeah I forgot about that . Also did the assassin that attacked commodus. Really stopped in the middle of their attempt to tell him a long monologue about his scheme while naming everyone involved. Before the Emperor's guards arrived to end him , because that account really sounds like something from a dark comedy skit .
Good informative video , though the mouth movements on the avatar is just a little creepy , but any way here's nuggets of interest. It's said that Persian society was one of the first to start the wide spread cultivation of sugar , and cookies actually were first birth in Persia in the 7th century , pliny the elder was an early pioneer of botanical studies and herodotus thought that Egyptian society began in 15,000 B.C .
Hi Brandon, Thanks for your honest feedback. As previously mentioned, we are trialing different types of edits and it is extremely important to understand what you like so that we could focus on that more. Ps. I’ve seen your previous comment as well. This week is extremely hectic, but I will get back to you.
It's all right dude you don't have to respond if you can't see it , didn't notice or don't want to 👍. Am just glad to meet another fellow lover of history and sorry about how long the comment was . I have an embarrassing habit of going on and on about history , any way I wish you well with your duties and tasks don't over work yourself though .
Not a myth, Biblical truth. Ever look at the pope's mitre? It's a fish head. Now you know why the Catholic Church eats fish every Friday. This religion is ancient Babylonian sun god worship.
All nonsense

There also is two more early pyramids one called the red pyramid and the other called the bent pyramid . But Great video though it felt a little rushed towards the second half , but any way there is alot I would like to add but I'll try to keep it short. In regards to the pyramids grand scale/ mathematical info there has been sooooo many people who have become infatuated with that part to the point that an entire pseudoscience has been created and it's called pyramidology . They view the pyramids from a religious , mystical or numerological perspective, with claims ranging from aliens built it or it being an ancient powerplant or even it was built by Satan etc . And for a long time until the Rosetta Stone was recovered during the Napoleonic wars the primary source of info on ancient Egypt was manetho history of Egypt written in around the 3rd century BC long after much of Egypt's time line has come and gone . Also it is said that in the prime youth of the pyramids they were coated in a layer of white lime stone and the great pyramids was supposed to have had a golden capstone that disappeared over the centuries . And I have also learned that in some cases if a ruler was very hated by Egyptian society they would not only scratch out there names on monuments but even go as far as to destroy the Ka statues so that they destroyed them in the afterlife. And fun fact Ra the sun god was moved up and upgraded in the pantheon from a minor deity to a major one around the time of the fifth dynasty in the old kingdom , and dynasty 5 is also called the sun king dynasty plus the first officially recorded labor strike happened during the late new kingdom era under the reign of Ramses the 3rd with a sit in at the temple of amun (if my memory serves me right) and loud protests with people shouting out demands and everything. Anyway sorry for the crazy nerd tirade on history 😅 . Oh and am not sure on this one but I think the word pyramid is of Greek origin and so is the word for empty tomb we call the cenotaph with ceno meaning epty and taph meaning tomb.
Brandon, your input is always greatly appreciated. I will pin your comment so that others can get to this info as well. Also, i’m preparing a video on ancient Egypt’s timeline and some of the info you mentioned is captured in there ;)
Wow, I was watching the video and half way through I saw you only had 600 subs and 100 views. I was in shock man, such a well structured video, professionally narrated, I would've guessed you were one of those big history youtube channels with a few million subs. Trust me I watch these types of videos and podcasts all the time, you have what it takes to succeed, the voice that's easy on the ears, cool ideas and comments, I really hope the algorithm picks you up and gives you what you deserve. Looking forward to listening to your whole channel tomorrow at work!
I don't see any way to donate to your channel unfortunately, I was willing to send you a drachm or two 😅
Your comment just made my entire week! Thank you so much! I’m making these documentaries for myself first, out of curiosity. It is a great feeling to see that they resonate the same way with others too.
@culturepassport yeah keep up the good work, some day you will blow up for sure! You have a long term fan in me for sure, I love the Greek, Roman, and medieval history, it's always cool to find someone who appreciates that period to the extent it deserves!
What about the theogony which tells us not only of the gods genealogy of the gods but also gives us the story of how Zeus rose to become the kings of the gods. Also there is cave in Crete called the Diktaean Cave and was said by Hesiod to be the place where Rhea the mother of Zeus gave birth to him/where he was raised . And am glad you brought up Atlantis because to this day you still have people who actually believe that it was real or that the government is hiding it, and they come up with some insane explanations as to how it fell, why and where it was located and what it was like. Yet when you go to the source you find that these pseudo historians don't know anything about what Plato was actually trying to say, they just use imaginative thinking's/adhoc rationalizations to give the apperance of real potential history eg. They claim when the younger dryas happened it destroyed Atlantis and that explained the flood that wiped them out and don't even get me started on the chariots of the gods crowd and their foolishness. Oh and fun fact it was actually a civil war era politician by the name of Ignatius L. Donnelly who is considered the father of pseudo history who was the one to fist popularize Atlantis being real.
Hi Brandon and thanks for always being here :) regarding the genealogy of the Gods, I have a separate video on Greek Religion. As for the rest, both history and religion are like this, open to the subjectivity of the person writing. This is why we need to consider several sources before concluding.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIt12sSTocurZZs.htmlsi=9V5dIH69seHETaqp here’s the link towards the other documentary.
I know but one question though , do you think it's possible to use modern computer analysis with the aid of AI to decode the Indus valley civilizations script ?.
That’s a good question, but I’m not sure. Probably we will be able to make some progress, but AI works by being fed with info. We need the relevant information for this and we can only make interpretations, not tell that results are 100% accurate.
Well at least we have another tool to help in the attempt to decode this puzzling civilization. But I do believe we will one day decipher this script similarly like what happened to the Egyptian , Sumerian and Mayan scripts.
One of the reasons why iraq was invaded.

Good code where did you learn it(good god over dosed we are here)
And as yet no comments !
Thank you!
When I saw radical religious lunatics like Isis destroying ancient artifacts from history that has stood for thousands of years it makes my heart bleed and ocean of bloody tears . To know that a religion can warp a mind sooooo badly that you will do humanity a disfavour and destroy aspects of its history all in the name of a coupling mechanism based is mythology .And this isn't the first time some thing like this has happened , during the first millennium ad there were reports of radical Christians going around and smashing Greek and Roman statues. All because they thought demonic beings were living in them , but more sane religious leaders calmed them down before it went too far. Even know there are reports of religious radicals who do things like encourage people to attack statues of mythical creatures or attack artifacts from Egypt .
This is sad for us and I understand your feeling. Events like this keep happening in history. We have in ancient Egypt the example of Tutankhamen, Akhenaten, Nefertiti and many others.
Another dark side to this is the fact that despite Isis claiming to be doing this based on religion (mythology if you ask me). They have no problem selling these very same artifacts on the black market for vast sums of cash. And Waring religious groups were also responsible for the recent destruction of the ancient tombs of Timbuktu in 2012 , one of the oldest and most important cities in pre-colonial Africa . And when said religious group was asked why they did this they went on an insane tirade about how they think people will worship tombs and how tourism encourages debauchery. But apologies for my incoherent rant .
Your finally back !!!!! 😃😃😃, your finally back !!!!! 😃😃😃.
Brandon, thank you so much! I wasn’t expecting anyone to notice. I’ve started posting a bit earlier than planned and couldn’t be happier for having you here. I will be experimenting a bit with the video style so do let me know what you think!
Glad to see you posting vids again and I look forward to your new style. But one thing though exactly where did you get the art in this video ? . Am only asking because am learning art right now and landscapes/architecture is an aspect I would like to develop in .
It is mostly ai generated based on info that we have available. Unfortunately we don’t have real depictions.
Okay I see , so do you mind if I use a few of them as reference images?. But only under your permission of course.
Of course, Brandon! What exactly are you looking for? Maybe I have some extra material.

What you are saying doesn't match so much with sumerian culture but more with akkadian or babylonian culture. Your social theory matches with what I find in the 𒂊𒉡𒈠𒂊𒇺, if I suppose that the social system is a picture of the gods in their mythology. Please give your sources!
Hi, Thanks for passing by! We're getting ready more long form documentaries and will add all the sources ;)

Thanks!
The music is way too loud . Any way it's thanks to the sumarian that we have a well preserved collection of the epic of Gilgamesh , which is the oldest know story in human history that has survived till now. The epic of Gilgamesh also has alot of tropes and story beats that we see in alot of modern story telling such fighting monsters or the desire for immortality.
Thank you for your patience, Cameron, and I apologize for the distraction caused by the loud music. You make an excellent point about the Sumerian civilization's pivotal role in preserving the Epic of Gilgamesh. It's truly remarkable how themes from this ancient tale, continue to resonate in modern storytelling. I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.
All that face and they wanna knock off the nose, 🤔 let that sink in. You can identify a person race but a nose 🤫
Lol People cut the nose because they believed the statues breathed by the nose. Cutting the nose killed the statue.
They weren’t perfect they come from a long list of inbreeding
Epicurus and his philosophy/communal society was said to be the main inspiration behind karl Marx coming up with communism, Marx actually wrote a paper on Epicurus . And communism is even said to be an upgraded but highly corrupted version of the happiness centered philosophy of Epicurus. Then you have the fact that the epicureans were basically the first people to start living in communes for happiness and they got so popular that you had around 400000 people living in them from Greece to places as far as Palestine . But they came to an end in about the 5 AD with the rise of the Christian church but much of the epicureans communes structures were said to be remodels as monasteries . Some say that these monasteries are just epicurean communes but with a Christian flavor and the epicureans also believed in the idea of an infinite universe.
Hey Brandon, that's a fascinating observation! It's indeed intriguing to see the historical connections between Epicurean philosophy and the development of communal living, as well as its influence on later ideologies like communism. The idea of happiness as a central pursuit and communal living for that purpose is a compelling link between Epicurus and Marx's ideologies. The transition from Epicurean communes to the adaptation of their structures into monasteries is an interesting historical evolution, suggesting the enduring impact of these communal ideas even after the decline of the Epicurean communities. The incorporation of Epicurean elements with a Christian flavor in the monasteries adds another layer to this historical narrative. The concept of an infinite universe is yet another intriguing parallel. Thanks for sharing this historical perspective!
Your welcome but there is still much much more for me to learn , grasp and understand even on this topic. But am glad to see your alright since it's been months of inactivity on you channel .
nice vid thx it helped me with my homework
hey, glad to hear it helped!
So logical
