... a Kárpát-medencei - korábbi ! :)

I really appreciate hearing from you. I'm so glad you liked the video. Keep watching!

Thank you for watching and loving the videos. I really love making them. As for the graphics...I work so hard on them; always trying to get them "just right." It's GREAT to hear when someone notices them. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep watching!

Thank you so much. I really like this style, and after I made the video I redesigned my living room in Mid-century style, complete with Eames chair which I had stashed upstairs, unused, in my office. Everything old is new again!

Yes, it is accurate. But I am an art historian, so that's my job. The movie tells a story. But the story told in the movie is accurate also. Lot of drama went on at the Moulin Rouge - still does. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Thank you! I really appreciate your support,

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I used the usual American pronunciation, which I realize is very different from the Russian pronunciation. But this brings up a point we debated in graduate school. The consensus was that when you are speaking English, it's best not to stick in a lot of non-English pronunciations because it's awkward and phony. For example, the correct German pronunciation of my last name is Oil-er. But Americans say "You-ler," so that's what I go with. I have actually received comments about this!!! So...anyway...I pronounce all names with an American accent. I appreciate your watching my video. And thanks for the comment!

If you look up what eyes look like shortly after death you will see that they have turned a milky blue. You can even see photos, if you do not believe me. But that's not the point. Some ancient Egyptians had blue eyes, as I say in the video. What I am discussing is not genetics, but how blue eyes were used SYMBOLICALLY to indicate that a person had passed on into the Afterlife. And the concept of blue eyes linked with eternal life and divinity continued symbolically with the Eye of Horus, and the Turkish nazar. Unfortunately some people argue that because some ancient Egyptians are depicted with blue eyes that means that they must have been Nordic caucasians. They most probably were not, as you yourself point out. You have olive skin and blue eyes and are not Nordic. Please watch the video again. You will see that the point is symbolism, not a discussion of genetics at all. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate hearing from you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I work really hard on the graphics, so it means a lot to me to hear from another graphic artist. To me, creating all these graphics is a major reason for doing the video.

Creativity: An elusive spirit. Hard to put into words. Great job doing it anyway. Cheers.

There was no system. The artist chose the colors based on what they thought worked. You are correct...the colors seem right. That's exactly what they were going for. Thank you for you excellent comment. I really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks. I always like hearing comments like this. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! I worked very hard on this project. I appreciate your support.

Same spot, definitely. We never seem to learn.

Clearly you have not seen any dead bodies. The appearance does not change immediately: no shrinking, bloating, or discoloration for quite some time, depending on circumstances. But what does change, even sometimes shortly before death, are the eyes. They become bluish and milky-looking. You can look up dead eyes on the internet to see this for yourself. Thus, I think that the ancient Egyptians took this as a sign that the person had passed on into another realm of existence. They called it the Field of Reeds. Think of it like this: the person looked the same at death as they had in life except for the postmortem change in eye color. This was seen as a sign of something significant. As for DNA - DNA is difficult to recover and not very reliable for bodies that ancient. And DNA does not tell a person's eye, skin, or hair color exactly, although it can indicate if they have, say, a gene for blue eyes. For example, I have a gene for blue eyes since my Dad had blue eyes. But because my mother had brown eyes, my eyes (and those of my siblings) are also brown because brown eyes are a dominate gene. Thanks for writing to me and watching the video! I appreciate your interest.

Probably true. His paintings have that kind of feel. Thanks for the comment!

I'm an art historian, so I use different criteria.

No they weren't.

I appreciate your support! Thanks for watching.

I made this video 8 years ago before I got proficient on how to use the software. Thus, the music tends to be too loud. I am much better now. I just loaded a new video you will want check out on Modern Sculpture. Yes, I tend to pronounce Monet in an American way. Hard not to! Anyway...thanks for your comments and support.

Thank you!!! I work very hard on these videos. I'm so glad you enjoy them. I just posted a new one on Modern Sculpture you will like. Thanks for your support.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing from you. I just posted a new video on Modern Sculpture I think you will enjoy. And, again, thank you for watching.

Thank you! I see you have watched several of my videos. I really appreciate your interest and support. I work very hard on these programs. Always good to hear that people like them. Thanks for contacting me.

Wow! I am so impressed. A dancer at the Moulin Rouge? What a great job. I took lots of dance classes myself, and appeared in college musicals, but had no real talent, although I still wear ballet shoes as slippers. I'm glad I found you, too. Always a pleasure to hear from someone who understands the complexities of what I'm discussing. Again...I am so impressed. Thanks for watching, and for writing to me.

Hi. Which Revue were you in ?

ha ha ha

🤣🤣 they have the same haplotype R1B if you actually read the study, and R1B is wildly present in Africa as well.

I question this.

Correct.

This is actually quite possible. I'm not saying ether it's true or not, just that it is possible. Egypt was conquered by the Greeks in 300b.c. and then the Romans in like 30b.c. so there was likely alot of interracial relationships, maybe even more then in modern times as race/color wasn't as big an issue in the ancient world, especially in the Mediterranean as it connected the bulk of the ancient world

You missed the point of the video. I am simply presenting a theory that one reason the Old Kingdom represented some of the dead with blue eyes (while other portraits of the same people depict them with brown eyes) is because the blue eyes may be symbolic of passage into the Afterlife. When people die, their eyes turn a milky blue. It doesn't matter what color their eyes were in life. Could the ancient Egyptians have seen this as a sign that the dead person had left this earthly realm and ascended into the realm of the gods? Could be. I simply put it out there for you to think about. That's what scholars do? As for Barbie...I'm a European Nordic type with blonde hair, yet my figure is in NO WAY like Barbie's!!! Come on. She does not represent how real woman look. But...I really appreciate your comments.

GREAT to hear from you!!! I bet you are having a successful life. You look great. I do a video like this every month so you might want to look at more of them (for old time's sake, of course). Please keep in touch.

They certainly did. I would like to do a video on the megalithc culture as well, but it may not be something everyone will "get." I have actually visited many of those sites, and they are really, really interesting. Thank you for the comment. I appreciate your support.

@@susaneuler9462 Before the Roman Empire, the Gallo-Welsh language was a kind of lingua-franca for about 1500 years for all trade & commerce along the Atlantic Shore and English Channel, along the Rhine and half the Danube River. The Celtic culture was the default one for a society busy with production and farming.

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your support.

I know. Nolde was a tragic figure all the way around. I really like German Expressionist painting, but the lives of the painters are hard to read about. So much sadness. Thank you for your comment.

I'm glad they did , too. Thank you for your positive feedback. You might also like Understanding Abstraction. I have 50 videos up, so lots to watch!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support.

A lot to answer here. I am not sure that Ramesses III did not have some African ancestry. I will check this out. As for Ramesses II having long red hair: he did not. He had white hair (he was 90 years old at death). It was turned red by the embalming chemicals. However, his father Seti I has a name that means "red haired," so I do not rule out that both men had red or reddish hair in their youth. As for Narmer: of course, he massacred many of the people of Nubia along with the people of the Delta in the course of "unifying" the country. That's what the Narmer Palette depicts. As for him being Caucasian? We don't have his body, so we will probably never know. I did not claim that blue eyes have nothing to do with the person's appearance in life: some Egyptians did have blue eyes, and I believe I show at least one Fayum Mummy portrait of man with blue eyes. But we have other images of Rahotep, for example, depicting him with brown eyes. So? I think that in some instances blue eyes are symbolic of a person moving on into the Afterlife since people's eyes turn blue at death as a part of decomposition. It's just a theory that the ancients used this medical fact symbolically. But that's what scholars do. This 10 minute video did not take up the issue of skin color. Not enough time. But I can tell you this: in both Bronze Age Egypt and Greece, men are depicted with reddish brown skin, and women with lighter skin. Obviously symbolic of something, and it's not because they are different races - although in some instances, that might be the case. Seems like an interesting dissertation topic!
