What It Was Like to Be Egyptian Royalty

- What was everyday life like for Egyptian royals? In a word: busy. Though they lived in the lap of luxury and enjoyed a standard of living that most other ancient Egyptians didn't, Egyptian royalty generally didn't have much downtime.

What more on Egypt would you like to learn about?
The Apis bull parade and mummification process.
Also Medjays would be interesting ;D
I thought that when girls married it would have to be at 12 and boys at 14 .
about the pyramids and their mythology :)
Their drug policy, specifically regulation on wild African mushrooms. Also how did trade with Europe affect society?
Slaves!
Was anyone else also really interested in the Egyptian culture/ mythology when they were younger or was it just me? 🤔
Nicole Johnson nah bro that was my shit
No that was so interesting legit the only thing that made me pay attention in school lmao
In second grade I would bring this huge encyclopedia of ancient Egypt to school every day 😂
I was obsessed with this, had all the egyptian playmobil sets
i wish these videos existed when i was a kid lmao
I think we need an Egyptain HBO Series like Game of Thrones and Dead Wood. A Tv show that accurately depicts Egyptains in their time while giving us history lessons through HBO written Drama!
They should continue Rome.
There was a super good short series called Ancient
Egyptians. It featured Bernard Hill as narrator and all the episodes were true stories that had been written down thousands of years ago. I'd def check it out. You get to see from the perspectives of people at war, sacred bull priestesses, merchants etc.
Shukenstein Hell yes!!
Candyfishes Where can we find it
@@cellblocknine5385 I'm not sure. I bought the DVD in like 2003... wait I just found a channel that has it. ua-cam.com/video/2ty9nNEj1-0/v-deo.html there's the first episode.

@@Timmering thank you for the kind words. Really nice of you!
Did you hear about the Egyptian who refused to accept that he was drowning?
He was in denial

I don't get it lol

No! I didn't! Tell me about it!!
Some expensive lace fronts
OMG, i was laughing so hard after reading this 😂😂😂😂
Shit them bitches still expensive
Right, they didn’t wear no damn wig. It was their actual hair
Talented God the Egyptian people were black
Lace wigs were invented 1600s
U guys really just threw in a pic of Jonathan with Egyptian eyeliner 😆😂

Cleopatra was ptolemeic. Greek.
Emily Rose I thought she married her brother and had children with him eventually... I mean honestly with how many men she was with ... one was bond to be related to her 😂😂
Talitha Ortiz lmao nooo! her brother was very young, and a threat to her position on the throne. her brother was killed. they were legally forced to be married (that was the law) but there is no evidence that Cleopatra herself enjoyed incest. She only had children with Ceaser and Antony in the historical records.
Emily Rose oh okay my listening ears only heard what I wanted to hear in history class😂😂 and movies
@@GaaraFan01 also she had children with Marc Antony
Watching these videos is the best because it’s like reading a full Wikipedia article or a full documentary but actually enjoyable 😂
It’s not like that at all.
A lot of the stuff this channel says isn’t really true. They just take information they’ve heard and repeat it. That’s why they never leave sources for their research.
HearthCricket chill out bud I’m just being positive
HearthCricket well shadversity made a whole video debunking the things they said in their ‘Life in a medival castle’ video.
and after the amount of things he pointed out I just stop believing these guys do any actual research.
Ikr continually enjoyable content
Ancient Egypt has always fascinated me so much. Ever since I was 8. When I was 8-10 I wanted to be an Egyptologist. The culture, language, history, clothing, religious beliefs are just so fascinating. It lasted such a long time, too. There’s even new archeological evidence of an Egyptian dynasty that existed before the recorded start of the Egyptian civilization, suggesting Egypt may be even older than we think.
Keira-Lyn Turner Tbh, I’m not gonna lie. That thought has crossed my mind. For some reason I’ve always had a somewhat magnetic attachment to anything related to ancient Egypt. Plus ancient Egyptian stuff always gave me this weird nostalgic feeling. Maybe it’s because I actually subconsciously miss it.
I hope you have lots of melanin because the sun shines hot and bright there. You should visit.
cookie22100 I would love to visit there!
@@cookie22100 Or you could do as the Egyptians did and invent sunscreens, umbrellas, and finely woven cloth to protect you from the Sun. Regardless of your skin color, you can't survive in the desert naked. You would dehydrate like melaninated beef jerky. LOL You have to wear something that will slow down the evaporation of sweat, like the fine cloth the relatively light skinned Berbers wear in the desert today.
@@dvrmte Or you could have melinated skin that is designed to protect you while being exposed to long durations of sunlight. Dark skin is guaranteed to last longer in desert conditions than pale skin. That's just the fact of the matter, hence why populations closer to the equator have darker complexions. Mother nature trumps man made invention every time. Also Egyptians consisted of many different groups of people over a long period of time. None of them really having that pale of skin. P.S. Umbrellas were a Chinese invention dating back to 35oo B.C. The earliest invention of sunscreen dates only to 1938 by an Austrian man named Franz Greiter. Google is free, maybe use it sometime?
When I was 5 I would bring home books about mummies and my mom throught that i was creepy
Aleshya Barbour at 8, I told mom I’d mummify her instead of burying her! Hahaha
Ok but I felt this
My mum was into that stuff when I was a kid.. Ancient Egyptian and Egyptian mythologies, she bought home some interesting/random books of everything and anything, even the darker subjects that I had curiosity to look at.
I wanted to be an archeologist around that age. Something most at that age had no idea what it was.
Of course: were you hitting on your mummy again? 🤔
" do you ever wish you could skip a meeting....just send a statue in your place "
Lol

What about the life as the Emperor of China?
Like it!
Ooh! Yes!
Or empress!
I absolutely loved learning about ancient China and getting to watch dramas on empress wu dfintiepy made it more enjoyable
Yall should watch empress Ki
Similar to that of an US President, only harder. King is god's given right is more of a western concept that origin in the dark ages. In the rest of the world, it is best describe to say "human are pack animals and pack of human settle on a land is a tribe and a country is just a big ass tribe." Thus, a King or President is the Chieftain and considering it is a big ass tribe, it is a very hard job. Actually a King was a harder job then President, in modern democratic era, regional magistrates are self elected, so the President got no need to hold any responsibility to it, during the old days, the regional magistrate so, if they are corrupt or do a crappy job, to a certain extend, you are responsible for it too. (Much like today at war, the President appoint a crappy General, the people blame both the General and the President)
I don't think I'd want that many people in my bath
Me and my anxious ass agree with you
And I don't want all those people dressing my naked ass every morning
Reminds me of the scene from Coming to America”
unless the're hookers!
Depends on what they were willing to do in that bath with me...
I would like to see a digital reconstruction of what some of the ancient Egyptian cities, temples, and palaces looked like in their prime.
That would be awesome!
Lilith Aram hell ya
Assassin's Creed Origins is your answer
I would like to see what Ancient Kemet looked like also
There is one on UA-cam for Egypt, Rome and Greece.
I can't imagine who carved these walls? This is an incredible art form that must have taken a viable time & ability.
Its also in ancient times
I did
You obviously don't know what I meant.
they didn't have wifi..
Just been told I can get rich quick by buying an old Egyptian building.
Im not falling for it I think it's a pyramid scheme.

We’ve never heard that one before.
you are from the last kingdom of Egypt.simple put.your invading Caucasian forefathers did not build any thing in Keymet-Egypt.all manner of Evidence proves that.this one you can't overlook it's called D-N-A it proves you are not from the old kingdom of Egypt but the last.you are mix with your forefathers blood line.thousand of years blend out the Egyptian.look at America's today it was once Black Indians.look!!!❤from a true African Jamaican
Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh FYI if anyone wanted to know.
She also invented peanut butter

What was it really like to be a Priest in the Medieval or Dark Ages ..
fucking miserable ill tell u what
@@eljoven732 no the priests had it easy in medieval ages...
@@chrisp.9385 how easy could it be if they're in the Dark Ages?
@@genn.623 they had a better life than the average person for sure. As part of a religious order you'd at least expect to be fed and clothed because the Church (capital C because there was only one) as a whole held an immense amount of wealth.
They had free food, clothes and - what most people lacked back then- education (they could read and write)
The Egyptians themselves did not call their kings "PHARAOH". That is a Greek word which has withstood the test of time .
@ryan worthy and Gary, facts.
Gary L no actually they would call them ‘ فرعون ’ which is translated to “Pharaoh” in English . And Pharaoh means god in ancient Egyptian language
@@arwamansour7350 They actually never called themselves that,itwas the Europeans and arabs that started calling them that.
Your right I believe the word they used was a**hole, on account of that was where all their valuable salt kept going! LOL
They called them kings just like today... The word Pharao is the Greek version of the word per-ao which is old egyptian and means "the great house".... Later in time it became custom and they adopted the word to refer to their king when speaking ABOUT him but never used it when speaking TO him
There was a time when Egypt never had a war for 800 years. Imagine that!
Archaeologist have determined that West Africa also had an extraordinary span of peace.
Ironic considering religion seemed to be very important to them.
@@bedstuyrover You’re kidding, right?
That’s true. There was an extended period of peace in Ancient Kemet

I went to Egypt recently and saw many of the sights in the video. We were told by our guide that the pharaohs were only considered divine in the Old Kingdom (think pyramids). After that, they were merely very important (think Valley of the Kings).
I was told by my Wiccan friend he seen the Egyptian royalty in me mine was somewhere in upper Egypt ones worship Anubis
Mine from the old kingdom
Tut had more physical problems than just a limp bruh.

@@idirhhrin8876 Ancient Egyptians worshiped cats, so in this case, "pussy" is a compliment.
It was not a personal attack because the narrator, doesn't know you personally. He didn't mention you. Silly comment.
@@idirhhrin8876 bit rude but I agree.
Pharoah Hatshepsut was a woman! She was the chief wife and co-ruled with her husband, Thutmose II. Might want to do some fact checking before putting a whole (and admittedly, beautifully lavish) episode together.
After Thutmoses II dies, she became the pharoah for 6 years till Thutmose III reached his adulthood
So basically, this was Alabama back in the days
lol
We need to remember that they didnt have any coolers, all the wine etc was probably room temperature. Ew
Underground cellar style id imagine, Something in the cool shade underground can actually be cooler than room temp.
We had salt
Isn’t wine meant to be drunk at room temperature or just under? Chilled wine would be sickening 🤮
@@ebonyfitzgerald3667 not that it matters but people often prefer certain wines chilled such as white wines but red wines are not.
Wine isn’t supposed to be chilled tho
I’m only here because my class is learning about Ancient Egypt.

That was me last year
Dick Samson wow sounds like America 150 years ago
@@Lovecore802 wow, sounds like nearly every communist/socialist/islamic state of the 20th century. Lol how little people know of actual history and where context is needed. The Islamic slave trade went on well into the 40's/50's. Russia had their fair share of Jewish progoms - worse than Hitler. The Chinese regime of Mao starved millions and persecuted more. I could seriously name 10 more regime/dictatorships that took place not 70 years ago and yet, the US is still the focus of racism. Even though their own people ended the slave trade before becoming a country. Territories had outlawed the import of slaves and it's country was divided on it's only revolution to free all men centuries before the Holocaust ever happened.
Did you study about the early slaves in mesopotamia? Some schools forget to mention slavery throughout history, existing is many countries around the world. So funny that some people actually.think Usa was the first or only place that had slaves
You had me at wigs and wine 🍷

I'm glad for finding this channel I love the history💖🤗
I went to a school called International studies 1st through 5th grade, and in 4th grade for a whole year we studied the history of Egypt,needless to say I was truly fascinated by it and it has always been my favorite year in school.
That seems a little bit one-sided though. When I went to school of course we also spent quite a bit of time on Egypt, although maybe not that long. Why so much focus on Egypt and often hardly any learning about other peoples and cultures that existed at the time, around the same area? For instance in my school at least we were not actually taught anything about the Hebrew people and their fascinating history, and who God is according to their own holy writings. I would have liked to have been taught about them as well. Way more interesting than the Egyptians. Yes, it is good to know about the Egyptians, but they were not the only people from the ancient world and it is just weird how schools always talk a lot about Egypt and not so much about others. We need to have a "big picture" understanding.
this channel is GENIUS. your videos are always so damn well made and fun. it deserves to be so much more popular
Imagine how ripped you’d be being a fan bearer
Love history. Like the way you do the narration. Good job
I love your channel! Keep it up! Love and support from the Philippines! 💪😁❤️🇵🇭
The fans weren’t to keep the pharaohs cool, they were used to keep the bugs at bay. The fans wouldn’t have worked to move air anyway.
It was to keep the bugs off,yes, but also to shade them from the direct sunlight
Must have been brutally hot 🥵
What was history really like Native Americans ?
Which tribe? Pretty diverse group. You had peaceful ones, whacked out violent ones etc.
@@hannahabdi3904 This kind of disgusting behaviour happened between different tribes for as long as humans have existed.....with the murder and the stealing of women and children and land.....that does not excuse it but I wish to tell you that white people did it fairly recently in human history but they are no different than others. There is a lot of human slavery and murder going on to this day in places like Africa for example.....people killing and enslaving their own. I don't like it when those of colour put down the whites as if they invented this behaviour. Please do some serious reading about such subjects in history. Let's work together to live in peace with each other.....and to heal the painful wounds.....please forgive us, all of you, for being no different than others who have gone before.
LinnErellie haha wtf, dude?
Sad
Lol give it up blk ppl were the first Egyptians

Bruh why am I watching this at 4 in the morning, all this is so interesting to me 😭😭
I like this guys humor his the reason too why I subscribed to this channel Not much of a fan though with the other NARRATORS. They sounded like my boring history professor. First video i watch was life in a medieval castle 🏰
Loved the video. You should do a small series of videos about the worst kings leaders and emperors of Rome.
Great show very educational, and insightful.
So interesting ,art work-perfect. Thank you and keep it up.
This is actually a pretty good video! Normally videos are the same 5 facts regurgitated over and over.
Who else is tired of Egyptians being portrayed as white people with British accents in movies and other media?
British actors portraying Egyptians are not likely to have anything but a British accent. If you want to see how the Egyptians saw themselves then simply observe all the artwork. They presented themselves with skin colors from light to dark, but never portrayed themselves, as they did the Nubians, with dark kinky hair, very dark skin, broad noses and thick lips.
LinnErellie haha lmao you fucking people
LinnErellie haha 🤣 morning pillaging bitch
So sad.. You don’t even know who your ancestors were. You are probably from Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Ivory Coast.. but not from Egypt. Do you even look like Egyptians ? Black people have a great history too. The richest man of the history was Black. Why don’t you talk about him, instead of appropriating my culture ?
Bloodline because you can clearly see me😂🖕🏾
I appreciate the illustrations here with the appropriate skin tones and varieties of the people.
I love these videos. The little JVN pop up in the eyeliner killed me
I have been here when i went to Egypt . It is breath taking ....
5000 years later and beard wigs are coming back 💀
I learn better from your channel than I have when I was in high school
Just ran into your channel today. Watched video after video. Aaaand now I'm addicted and a sub 😂
Ramesses II married at least three of his daughters. At the time, Egyptian princesses were not allowed to marry foreigners or anyone below their royal rank (while princes and pharaohs could), so princesses were subjected to marrying their brothers and fathers. A good chunk of Egyptian princesses would never get married because of their limited options, so it was an honor whenever marriage was proposed.
🤢🤮
Ewww
Hatshepsut was the first female Pharaoh
Doesn’t that credit go to the Middle Kingdom ruler Sobeknefru?
She was not the first. She was the second of three.
Great, entertaining and fun. Made me smile and think.
Great video. Love the videos on antiquity.
I didn’t know Ramsey II has over 100 kids, that man is wild asfff lmao. He lived a wild ride
Yeah wasn’t it like Cleopatra was 19 when she married her 10 year old brother? It’s so very very wrong on so many many levels
EDIT: YES I KNOW IT WAS THE LAW, please stop telling me this. I was just saying it's weird and gross by today's standards.
Stacy Peterson By today’s standard yes. In her mind she was preserving the bloodline. Gross but true

I will mention again, take these videos with a pinch of salt, they never use any sources to back their claims and have been proven to repeat misconceptions.
Edit:You people in the comments ever heard of sources, it’s shocking how many people are upset because someone wants to know sources for a history video.
Go away. For reals.
