    Having a lovely portrait of yourself while lounging elegantly on a gorgeous couch...that’s goals honestly. You look like a 1920s publication for cosmetics. Your face and intelligence just exudes boss woman energy.

    When the peacock feather fan popped up I started wondering if there was an ongoing joke throughout the episode where every few minutes the setting became just a little more extra. I was half expecting you to be wearing a crown by the end of the episode. :)

    I just love history, and when it comes to Egypt, I just get lost in it............ I feel that the fact that the kings and queens have been preserves till now and we can actually see their dead bodies and their reconstructions and etc....... etc..... Makes it even more fun........ Because then we can find out a lot of information..... Whereas in other civilizations.......most of the things have to be estimated....... Really Egyptian civilization is greatt

    Amazing insight for the use of incense, the smells and the perfumes used during Ancient Egypt...

    Very informative. Was Hatshepsut the last Queen of the 18th dynasty with the title "God's Wife of Amun"? I thought Nefertari, consort of Rameses II of the 19th dynasty, also held this title, but not sure this is accurate.

    Hi, I hope you see this. I'm trying to write a book set in ancient Egypt and I have a question.
    I know pharaohs had Great Royal Wives or chief wives. I'm wondering if it was a thing to change who the great wife was. Like a pharaoh has only one wife, who is (automatically, I'm assuming) his great royal wife. But then he marries another wife. Could Wife #2 be named his Great Royal Wife or would Wife #1 always be the Great Royal Wife until her death?
    Also, love your channel :)
