Eqypt was so incredibly old. The famous Cleopatra (VII) lived closer to man going to moon than building of great pyramids of Giza. That is just how incredibly ancient Eqypt was.
Cleopatra was not Egyptian. Cleopatra was a Ptolemy ruler of Egypt which were Greek Pharaohs stemming from following Alexander the Great had conquered Persia - acquiring Egypt in the process since Egypt was a Persian colony at the period. Alexander classified himself as Pharaoh, which later on birthed a dynasty of Greek Pharaohs such as Cleopatra. Thus, Cleopatra was not a real Egyptian.
@@rob-8541 They weren't Egyptian. However, they were a part of the same culture: Nile Valley Culture. It would be no different than the Romans conquering the Greeks. The Romans and Greeks were basically a part of the same culture, and the Greeks later became Romans, i.e. Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire).
@@rob-8541 Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that was ended in 525 BC. However, there was a brief moment where the natives reconquered their lands from the Persians during a revolt which was led by Amyrtaeus in 404 BC which he later became Pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty, the only Pharoah of the 28th Dynasty. Nevertheless, Egypt was reconquered by Persians in 343 BC. That was the end of African rule in Ancient Egypt in which Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs later ruled. Following 343 BC, Africans would *NEVER* rule Egypt again. The last Pharaoh, Pharaoh Nectanebo II was exiled to Nubia. The Arabs colonised the whole of North Africa in the 7th century known as the Arabic conquest of Northern-Africa. However, prior to the Arabs, there were Greek, Roman and Vandal settlements in Northern-Africa. Africans have not ruled Ancient Egypt for *2,362* years. Do you know what has happened since then? Greco-Roman rule has been since 332 BC until 642 AD ( *974* years). Islamic rule -Arab and Ottomans have been ruling Egypt since 642 AD ( *1,337* years and still continuing). .
@@rob-8541 You clearly know nothing regarding Egypt or Africa for that matter. For one, Nubian civilisation is older than Egyptian. Ta-Seti and Nabta Playa are far older than the entirety of Egyptian civilisation. The first Egyptian Pharaoh, Narmer derived from the region what is referred to as 'Nubia'. As I mentioned, modern Egyptians are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians and people who state such nonsense are either ignorant or flat out racist. How can the same people lecture us that the modern Egyptians are the same as the Ancient Egyptians while Egypt was ruled by foreign powers for over 2,300 years but somehow tell us that the Turks who conquered Constantinople in 1453 are not Greek but Turkic whom merely conquered Constanipole 566 years ago? Moreover, the same imbeciles who state such nonsense believe in conspiracies such as "The Great Replacement". Somehow Muslims who merely migrated into Europe 60 years ago is somehow going to replace the native European population in a few decades? Nevertheless, but the Egyptians who were ruled by Arabs and Turks for over 1,337 years were not replaced. As for the Copts, you clearly do not know what you are on about. Copts derive from Greco-Romans that conquered Egypt following Alexander. Prior to 332 BC, there was no such thing as a Copt. The Coptic language derives from Greek and is an admixture of the Ancient Egyptian (native) language Demotic. Moreover, 'Coptic' is a religious classification. Not an ethnic classification. The Coptic Church was founded during the period of Roman rule, in which a citizen of Libya, Cyrene, a Roman colony, named Saint Mark founded the Coptic Church in Alexandria. In 49 AD, there was no such thing as religious Copts prior to the arrival of Saint Mark. Nor was there even a Coptic language before 332 BC. You clearly do not know what you are talking about.
I think it’s amazing how vast Ancient Egypt’s history is. Like they were a civilization that existed for more than 3 thousand years, they existed for longer than all of Roman history. I mean when they were constructing the pyramids they were still mammoths in some parts of the world, MAMMOTHS! Do you realize how incredible that is.
Good analysis and it gets deeper. The first thing you should understand is they were Black but I know that's to hard for you people so that why the full mystery is always hidden.
@Mohammed Hassan eh, no. The nile runs from south to north, which is why upper egypt is *south* of lower egypt, or below lower egypt on the north-south maps. So yes the nile runs down to lower egypt, but it also runs from *south to north*, hence why the inverted map.
Eeh, Sumeria is well more impressive *cough* just sayin. Taking into account how the 'core' civilization there flourished right up until the Greek Diadochi's (who broke with that tradition that every invader/hegemon had assumed)
It depends what you mean by 'Western civilization'. The Minoans of Crete are considered to be the 'first' European civilization, who were quite advanced and were contemporary with Ancient Egypt and maintained a friendly trade relationship with them. But if you mean the 'modern' West of the last 500 years or so, then its rapid rise to global dominance, and advancing from sailing ships to Moon landings in that time could be seen as perhaps more noteworthy than a civilization that stayed much the same for centuries at a time, with even its art barely changing from stiff and formal, and with its best known achievements (the pyramids) occurring at the beginning. And of course, 'the West' could also include the Greeks (Macedonians) and the Romans who ended up conquering and ruling Egypt for about 900 years, which is a very big chunk of ancient history.
Minoans arent european though? Myceneanas sure, Minoans are thought to be from central Anatolia or Cyprus IIRC? But your right they were the hightech badboys of the 3rd and 2nd millenium. Geothermal, paved roads, epic economic centralization. @@tsopmocful1958 Arguablly western civilization starts with the german ascension, as we're all technically german or of german descent here in the western world ;p But i mean pre indo-europeans were building cool shit in western europe at the same time as the pyramids. it just wasent quite as impressive as Sumeria or Egypt ahah.
@@tsopmocful1958 You misunderstand, I'm not saying that Egypt is older than Minoans, Mycenaeans (even though it is) or any other group. I'm saying that it's remarkable how they lasted for so long as a culture, so long in fact that if you measure the amount of time they were around, it's longer than the amount of time it's been since the ancient rise of the Greek City-states. Of course, one could also argue that Egypt *is* a part of Western Civilization, but that's neither here nor there.
Sorry if you don't care but your drawing of the Nile river is a modern one. Where Aswan is today your drawing shows the Nile break its streamline and become jagged and uneven (about halfway up the river), then return to its softer river shape. This is because in the 1960's a dam was built there flooding that area disturbing the once more natural shape of the river. Figured it'd be an interesting fact to anyone who reads this.
I've watched around 6 different videos all on UA-cam about Ancient Egypt and this has got to be the best one. I'm always looking for history videos that balance the different aspects of history well and this video ranks on top in my personal ranking, although I'm no one but a history buff. Excellent work!
this guy is so good that he doesn't even need to really use graphics. currently in the process of watching every video on his channel!!! been through like 25 so far
When I was in primary school I remember struggling with the concept of Upper Egypt being lower on the map. My teacher should have just flipped the map upside down like you did here, it would have made so much more sense to my 8 year old mind lol
My primary teacher explained it like this: rivers are born in the mountains and flow down to the sea, so the north of Egypt is indeed Lower than the south. The same logic applies to many European regions where even inverting the map doesn't help, since most rivers don't flow as neatly from south to north as the Nile.
Actually it is called upper Egypt not because the orientation of the map, but because it has a higher elevation, and that's why the Nile flow in that direction.
@@Fearofthemonster they study ancient Egypt as an 8-year-old because you literally have to go to school as an 8-year-old and the teachers at school have to teach history because they are history teachers............
One of the underrated pharaoh of Egypt is Inaros II. During the time, Egypt was under Achaemenid rule, and is also the time the Greco Persian war is taking place. He is supposed to be the ruler of Sais, which is the capital at time which makes him pharaoh, so he threw a huge revolt against the Persians. He lost but dealt a devastating blow to the Achaemenid men and supplies so the Greeks can win the battle of plataea
You mean the Romans? They were more advanced from almost all points of view and reformed Egypt for the better. ua-cam.com/video/BaCaFpAtm48/v-deo.html . Egypt was never the same after the Bronze Age Collapse, then it prospered under Roman administration, only to be turned into a s-hole by Arabs and Muslims.
am Coptic Christian, we are basically the last remaining link to our ancestress. I am really upset that our language isn't more commonly spoken even if just among us, we only speak in church during liturgy. I know of family's that only speak coptic when they are home but thats rare. Coptic language is also closely related dialects descended from the Ancient Egyptian language, it allowed old Egyptologists to understand hieroglyphics.
Coptic language was founded in ad/ce time and is not closely related dialect descended of the ancient ancestors of the motherland. They did not call themselves Egyptian! Christian's did not exist until 33 ad/ce time. Learn your ancient facts! You are one confused person.
Let's not pretend that the Egyptian dialect of Arabic is not a mixing between Coptic and original Arabic along with Turkish also ethnically and genetically speaking we shouldn't be so far apart
@@Nesut-kingIf your referring to modern era, most of the demographics I've looked up were mostly Arabic with Nubians and coptics being a small percentage
If the final season of Game of Thrones is no good I'll just come back and watch this until I'm satisfied. You keep outdoing yourself, sir. Well done, *great* video!
Somehow, my Ancient History teacher managed to make Egypt really boring and confusing despite us being really interested in it. Basic overviews of the entire history at the beginning like this would have given a much broader context than simply diving straight into deep detail from the outset.
Really like the inverted map, as has been mentioned, this is likely much more accurate to the egyptian ciew of the world, given that the nile flowed upstream down south.
Not only for that reason. The North on top convention is rather recent and quite Eurocentric. A good reason to have South on top (from a Northern Hemisphere viewpoint) is that the Sun is always to the South, at least if you're north of the tropic. Another convention, quite popular in the Middle Ages was with the East up.
@King Kush These archaic humans were not black. Some of these groups may have shared some features we associate with black people (darker skin, kinkier hair, etc), but they would be very genetically distant from any modern population.
Gengonglike Arbukle Yes, he is a devil, it’s in his blood to lie, notice how he made the ancient Egyptian and the surrounding people with white skin. I pray that the earth becomes very hot.
@@Somali-Puntite Sigh!!! When will you people study the real black african history and stop claiming egypt. He literally talked about nubia!! Why don't you start from there.
Priyamjeet - Respect from Philadelphia to the Indus River Civilization, which is so often overlooked by scholars in favor of Egypt, Greece, Babylon, et cetera.
Priyamjeet Mohanty I’ve read about your history too... I didn’t realize how similar ancient Egyptian culture and ancient India had in common... Hindu religion and gods are so similar to Egypt gods, even the names of the gods are similar... Hindu Kush 👍🏾 Then I started to wonder if that’s why East Africans look different, ancient trading between Africa and India
*Its fascinating that Ancient Egypt, is the only civilization that has so much history, were're still looking for more history to be discovered today in Egypt.*
I have now realized that I know very little about Ancient Egypt's political history. I only remember a few popular pharaohs from what we'd been taught at school. The map thing is honestly eye-opening.
Ας δουμε τι εχουν να πουν οι αρχαιοι ημων προγονοι,καλο διαβασμα ; ) 1,[ Ηροδοτου Ιστοριαι]Δεν είμαι σε θέση να δηλώσω με βεβαιότητα ποια γλώσσα μίλουσαν οι Πελασγοί, αλλά θα μπορούσαμε να λάβουμε υπόψη την ομιλία των Πελασγίων που εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν σε οικισμούς πάνω από την Τυρρηνία στην πόλη Κρεστον, πρώην γείτονες των Δωριέων που εκείνη τη στιγμή ζουσαν στη γη που ονομάζεται Θεσσαλλια. Επίσης οι Πελασγοί που κάποτε ζούσαν με τους Αθηναίους και στη συνέχεια εγκατασταθηκαν στην Πλάκα και την Σκύλακε στο Ελλήσποντο. Και μαζί με αυτούς,αλλοι που έζησαν με τις άλλες κοινότητες και κάποτε ήταν Πελασγοί αλλά άλλαξαν τα ονόματά τους. Αν μπορούμε να κρίνουμε με αυτά τα στοιχεία, οι Πελασγοί μιλούσαν μια βάρβαρη γλώσσα. Επομένως, αν η γλώσσα των Πελασγίων μιλιωταν σε όλα αυτά τα μέρη, οι άνθρωποι της Αττικής, αρχικά Πελασγοι, πρέπει να εμαθαν μια νέα γλώσσα όταν εξελληνιστικαν. Στην πραγματικότητα, ο λαός της Κρεστονίας και της Πλάκας δεν μιλα πλέον την ίδια γλώσσα, πράγμα που δείχνει ότι συνεχίζουν να χρησιμοποιούν τη διάλεκτο που έφεραν μαζί τους οι προγονοι τους όταν μετανάστευσαν στα εδαφη τους. 2, Όσο για τους Έλληνες, μου φαίνεται προφανές ότι από τότε που ηρθαν στον τοπο αυτο(ενν.την Ελλαδα), χρησιμοποίουσαν πάντα την ίδια γλώσσα. Ήταν αρχικά αδύναμοι, [...] αλλά μεγάλωσαν από μια μικρή ομάδα σε ένα πλήθος, ειδικά όταν πολλοί λαοί, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και πολλών βαρβάρων σε μεγάλους αριθμούς, τους είχαν προσχωρήσει. Επιπλέον, δεν νομίζω ότι οι Πελασγοι, οι οποίοι παρέμειναν βάρβαροι, αυξήθηκαν σημαντικά σε αριθμό ή εξουσία.[Ηροδοτου,Ιστοριαι] 3, Πριν από την εποχή του Έλληνα, γιου του Δευκαλιωνα ... η χώρα ειχε τα ονόματα των διαφορετικών φυλών, ιδιαίτερα των Πελασγίων. Δεν ήταν μέχρι που ο Έλλην και οι γιοι του έγιναν ισχυροί στην Φθιώτη και προσκλήθηκαν ως σύμμαχοι στις άλλες πόλεις, που απέκτησαν σταδιακά από τη σύνδεση το όνομα των Ελλήνων. Αν και περάσε πολύς καιρός πριν αυτό το όνομα μπορέσει να προσκολληθεί σε όλους.[...] .. μικτές βαρβαρικές φυλές που μιλάνε τις δύο γλώσσες. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα μικρό χαλκιδικό στοιχείο. αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός είναι οι Τυρρηνοί-Πελασγοί που κάποτε εγκαταστάθηκαν στη Λήμνο και την Αθήνα, και οι Βισαλίτες, οι Κρεστονικοί και οι Έωνες. Ολες αυτες οι πόλεις είναι μικρές. [Θουκιδιδης. Ιστορια του Πελλοπονησιακου πολεμου] 4, Στην περιγραφή της Ελλάδος, ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει τους Αρκάδες που δηλώνουν ότι ο Πελασγός (μαζί με τον λαο του) ήταν ο πρώτος κάτοικος της γης τους . Όταν έγινε βασιλιάς, ο Πελασγός ήταν υπεύθυνος για την επινόηση καλύβων, παλτών από δερας πρόβατων και μιας διατροφής που ειχε βαση τα βελανίδια. Επιπλέον, η γη που κυβέρνησε ονομάστηκε "Πελασγία". Όταν ο Αρκάς έγινε βασιλιάς, η Πελασγία μετονομάστηκε σε «Αρκαδία» και οι κάτοικοί της (οι Πελασγοί) εξελληνιστικαν και εγιναν οι «Αρκάδες» . Ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει επίσης τους Πελασγούς ως υπεύθυνους για τη δημιουργία μιας ξύλινης εικόνας του Ορφέα σε ένα ιερό της Δήμητρας στη Θήρα καθώς επίσης και για την απομάκρυνση των Μινυών και των Λακεδαιμονίων από τη Λήμνο.
Coptic form later in the dynastic periods when kemet was invaded by the christian empires of rome, hence the christian presence in the coptic religion. Which was nothing but a formality of ancient mystery system, by then kemet was already several thousand years old. kemet goes back way further than egyptology purports
I didn't realise it is an inverted map first and I was like ''owo where is dat place'' lol.I would like to listen story of mamluks from you.Your videos are awesome.
Mamluks are the second best people who ruled Egypt after old kingdom pharaohs. Most of what we call now old Cairo was built during their time. Cairo has the largest collection of Islamic architecture in the world because of the Mamluks. Not a single bad/weak Sultan during their whole time.
Really great video Egyptian history is great when afro and eurocentrics don't argue who the identity of the ancient Egyptians were we should enjoy learning about civilizations without bringing race into the matter
Afrocentrics and Eurocentrics have the most stupid thoughts ever . Both of them were the least people to get civilized so they are trying to claim West & East Asia civilization who its people are neither Black or White .
dude you are straight up a badass . you make me want to both study history and create my own youtube channel. Being a bored teacher, using youtube to create videos that teach people stuff I am interested in or that I think people should know, your videos really helped me to envision the possibility of making this a reality. Im in the process of watching all your videos, thank you for the inspiration and education.
In ancient Egypt the worst curse you could ever visit upon someone was to erase a person's name, image and to never say their name again, similar to the Roman practice of a damnatio memoriae. To them, a name had power, a name told a person's story, and a name kept a person's memory alive, so whenever you say someone's name they're remembered, they live on in their afterlife. To never say their name again basically meant to deny them an afterlife and, so far as I know, they only did that to Hatshepsut and Akhenaton.
@@rebelac4926 No, I just wish it was cultural distinct like it was for thousands of years before. I find Arab culture to be very interesting in it's own, I just wish more elements of old Egypt still existed today. And when it was a colony it was still cultural arab.
I don't know how I've never heard of the Egyptian's map being upside down,it did cross my mind when I learned where actual Lower and Upper Egypt were but never made the actual connection.Thank you for this video.
It amzing the lies you have been taught to accept. Everything you hear about sea people's (Who's identity are all based of speculation s) know that there is something being hidden. Everytime you read about a dark age, just know that deception is happening
How are people lying by saying they don't really know who the Sea people were or where they came from? Do you know where they came from? Perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us with your evidence.
@@4chukwuebuka Nothing against Black Africans, they held some badass Empires of their own (Mali, Ethiopian, Zulu), but this is just demonstrably false. Genetically and linguistically, the direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians are the Coptic Christian minority in the country.
@@4chukwuebuka Yikes, you seem to be filled with a lot of hate on the internet, which is equal parts funny and sad. I don't think you warrant a response, but suffice it to say that I think any sort of critical examination of demographics and political history will tell you that you're wrong about this. You do realize that for most of history it was impossible to cross the Sahara, which clearly delineated the geopolitical boundaries between North Africa and the rest of the subcontinent. It wasn't until the arabs showed up with camels that this was able to be bridged. Anyway, good luck with whatever it is that you're trying to do.

I’ve always wondered why Egypt never really got back on its feet after the Bronze Age collapse, why was it so fragmented? Why did no one succeed in unifying it for so long?
Check out extra credits on the bronze age collapse. The bronze age relied heavily on international trade. When their neighbors collapsed the tin trade stopped and their ability to produce more bronze stopped as well. The economy crashed, tax revenue plummeted, and the states ability to fund a army stopped. Unable to rely on the state regional nobles supplied security and central authority lost it's control.
Egypt was back on its feet with the Ptolemaids, sorta, but the center of gravity had changed: it was not anymore just West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean: first it was the growing power of Greece, suddenly consolidated into Hellenism by Alexander (sometimes a single leader changes things a lot), then two new powers based to their West arose: Rome and Carthage, their advantage was that, being roughly equal to their Eastern Hellenistic rivals, incl. Egypt, they had "barbarian" Western lands to expand onto, notably Iberia with its then still fabulous mineral riches. Once the Rome-Carthage conflict was settled, the Eastern powers could only submit one by one, by grade or force, to the victor. The only one who did not was Persia reborn (as Parthia first, Sassanid Persia later) but even these could not hope to wrestle control of the Mediterranean coasts to Rome without a navy. It was a geopolitical shift, somewhat comparable to the one that happened in the Middle Ages when the center shifted from Italy and the Mediterranean to NW Europe around Belgium, and also to the one that happened in the 20th century when Europe lost its global preeminence.
Kj_mast_er We wuz khanz and shiiiet with no evidence and all the real evidence pointing to the opposite...Example, egyptians used chariots. Where in african history do you see them using wheels let alone chariots...
@@rayoflight8498 Nubians, and there are literally hundreds of drawings of chariots on the walls of caves and ruins across West African.

With relatively modern equipment, it still took thirty years to finish Philadelphia's City Hall, from 1871 to 1901. Whereas it took twenty years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. My mind is broken.
@ASuperSomali yeah, but that's crazy! I never viewed the ancient Egyptians as being the modern Americanized definitions of black or white. They were their own distinct north african group..
@Bblurre no, that's not true. Black people like us in America today came from west Africa not North East Africa. Groups like the Ethiopians, Lybians, & those from Sudan are closest peoples we have to the ancient Egyptians would have been. & even then their still not accurate...
@@omegaink5635 Ethiopians and Sudanese are nothing like the ancient Egyptians. Whether Blacks of west Africa or mutts of East Africa, none of them are even remotely similar to the ancient Egyptians.

They look nothing like Ethiopians or Sudanese.
A more accurate title would be "Ancient Egypt, the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall" (Once for Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, Neo-Egyptian Empire, Post-Assyrian Egypt, the Egypt briefly independent from Persia, and Ptolemaic Egypt each.)

So, is it possible that the Hicsos be predecessors of the Sea Peoples? Saddest part was abandoning the Mitanni :/ Nice video indeed, loved the map! Thank you for all your videos 😎 Still waiting for Elamites video xd
Some (but surely not most) of the Sea Peoples were surely Semites. Israel is mentioned for the first time in the SP wave led by the Hitites. Another likely Semitic SP were the Shekelesh, who are documented as circumcised (the Egyptians would cut your hands as war trophy if you followed their own custom of circumcision but your genitals if not, and other than Egyptians and some Black Africans only the Semites did so) and also have a name that may mean "mercenary" (shekel = Canaanite "pound", first weight later coin). These people surely ended in Sicily, not just because of the name resemblance but also because Sicilians are in terms genetic anomalously tending to the Levant (and there's no other good explanation). But otherwise most Sea Peoples were northerners from the Aegean or westerners from NW Africa (Libu, Meswesh) and Sardinia (Sherden), maybe even mainland Italy in the case of the unidentified Weshesh (sounds to me like Ausones, an aboriginal nation of southern Italy).
@yah' qub - What? We don't know for sure who exactly the Hyksos were. If anything it's you who's talking "pseudo-history" by assimilating them to Hittites (Nesites), who were not yet in the regional geopolitcal scene even. Almost uniformly historians agree that the Hycsos were Semitic warlords of some sort. Many theories have suggested proto-Hebrews and maybe there's something to it, but they were mostly worshipers of Seth, the Egyptian god of Chaos and War, so if anything something way too "proto" to be identified as such.
@yah' qub - Just to set the record straight: the Hyksos are from the Second Intermediate Period, at the beginning of the Bronze Age, while the Sea Peoples are from before the Third Intermediate Period, at the very end of the Bronze Age. A thousand years separate both groups! And yes Israel (or something very similar that is almost universally accepted as that) is mentioned in the "Nine Bows Coalition" or Hittite-led early "Sea Peoples" invasion. But these are not exactly the groups we know as Sea Peoples decades later, led probably by the Mycenaean Greeks (Deneen = Danaoi) on rampage after destroying Troy, although some groups do overlap in both waves (not Israel though, only mention). Look up "Israel stele" if you don't believe what I say.
@yah' qub First of all: LOL, you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about. Second and more to the point: the Hebrews are and were Canaanites, just a destructive cult at the semi-desertic margin at first (or something like that), the Canaanites were Semitic, all the Levant was Semitic since at least 4000 BCE and the Semitic-speaking Phoenicians considered themselves to be Canaanites (Phoenician is a Greek exonym). Hebrew is just one branch or dialect of the Canaanite language. El is how the Canaanites said "God" and Elohim is how the Canaanites said "the gods" (Allah is also derived from that root but Arabic is a slightly distinct branch of Northern Semitic, Southern Semitic is now only spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia but was in the past extended by Yemen and much of Arabia). After the conquest of Sumeria, all the Middle East south of Turkey and Kurdistan and West of Iran was Semitic. "Hamite" was used in linguistics to refer to what we now know as the main non-Semitic branches of Afroasiatic. It is an obsolete term (of Biblical origin indeed): today the linguistic consensus is that the family is Afroasiatic and also includes Semitic, and not only Berber, Coptic and Cushitic (Somali, Oromo, etc.) Back to the Hyksos, I'm glad you seem to concede that they were not Hittites and were from Canaan or otherwise the Levant. We're making improvements. Now you just need to accept that the Canaanites were Semitic, something we know for a fact, partly because of their Hebrew branch and partly because of their other historical branch: the Phoencians (self-named Canaanites).

Ancient Egypt was a civilisation that was ended in 525 BC. However, there was a brief moment where the natives reconquered their lands from the Persians during a revolt which was led by Amyrtaeus in 404 BC which he later became Pharaoh of the 28th Dynasty, the only Pharoah of the 28th Dynasty. Nevertheless, Egypt was reconquered by Persians in 343 BC.
That was the end of African rule in Ancient Egypt in which Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs later ruled. Following 343 BC, Africans would *NEVER* rule Egypt again. The last Pharaoh, Pharaoh Nectanebo II was exiled to Nubia.
The Arabs colonised the whole of North Africa in the 7th century known as the Arabic conquest of Northern-Africa. However, prior to the Arabs, there were Greek, Roman and Vandal settlements in Northern-Africa.
Africans have not ruled Ancient Egypt for *2,362* years. Do you know what has happened since then?
Greco-Roman rule has been since 332 BC until 642 AD ( *974* years).
Islamic rule -Arab and Ottomans have been ruling Egypt since 642 AD ( *1,337* years and still continuing).

You clearly know nothing regarding Egypt or Africa for that matter. For one, Nubian civilisation is older than Egyptian. Ta-Seti and Nabta Playa are far older than the entirety of Egyptian civilisation. The first Egyptian Pharaoh, Narmer derived from the region what is referred to as 'Nubia'.
As I mentioned, modern Egyptians are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians and people who state such nonsense are either ignorant or flat out racist. How can the same people lecture us that the modern Egyptians are the same as the Ancient Egyptians while Egypt was ruled by foreign powers for over 2,300 years but somehow tell us that the Turks who conquered Constantinople in 1453 are not Greek but Turkic whom merely conquered Constanipole 566 years ago?
Moreover, the same imbeciles who state such nonsense believe in conspiracies such as "The Great Replacement". Somehow Muslims who merely migrated into Europe 60 years ago is somehow going to replace the native European population in a few decades? Nevertheless, but the Egyptians who were ruled by Arabs and Turks for over 1,337 years were not replaced.
As for the Copts, you clearly do not know what you are on about. Copts derive from Greco-Romans that conquered Egypt following Alexander. Prior to 332 BC, there was no such thing as a Copt. The Coptic language derives from Greek and is an admixture of the Ancient Egyptian (native) language Demotic. Moreover, 'Coptic' is a religious classification. Not an ethnic classification.
The Coptic Church was founded during the period of Roman rule, in which a citizen of Libya, Cyrene, a Roman colony, named Saint Mark founded the Coptic Church in Alexandria. In 49 AD, there was no such thing as religious Copts prior to the arrival of Saint Mark. Nor was there even a Coptic language before 332 BC.
You clearly do not know what you are talking about.
I think it’s amazing how vast Ancient Egypt’s history is. Like they were a civilization that existed for more than 3 thousand years, they existed for longer than all of Roman history. I mean when they were constructing the pyramids they were still mammoths in some parts of the world, MAMMOTHS! Do you realize how incredible that is.

Like that your first thing was displaying Egypt correctly as upper and lower niles. Most people overlook this
Yeah it really helps you understand why the names were given.
Who? Who ever does this?
Stupidity🤦🏻♂️..south is up because the south land in Egypt is higher than the north and the Nile runs from south to north🙃
@Mohammed Hassan eh, no. The nile runs from south to north, which is why upper egypt is *south* of lower egypt, or below lower egypt on the north-south maps. So yes the nile runs down to lower egypt, but it also runs from *south to north*, hence why the inverted map.
@Mohammed Hassan So were you with @Ghost Flame, yet you appear to disagree with him, somehow.
What's crazy is that Egypt was around and thriving for longer than western civilization was a thing.
Eeh, Sumeria is well more impressive *cough* just sayin. Taking into account how the 'core' civilization there flourished right up until the Greek Diadochi's (who broke with that tradition that every invader/hegemon had assumed)
It depends what you mean by 'Western civilization'.
The Minoans of Crete are considered to be the 'first' European civilization, who were quite advanced and were contemporary with Ancient Egypt and maintained a friendly trade relationship with them.
But if you mean the 'modern' West of the last 500 years or so, then its rapid rise to global dominance, and advancing from sailing ships to Moon landings in that time could be seen as perhaps more noteworthy than a civilization that stayed much the same for centuries at a time, with even its art barely changing from stiff and formal, and with its best known achievements (the pyramids) occurring at the beginning.
And of course, 'the West' could also include the Greeks (Macedonians) and the Romans who ended up conquering and ruling Egypt for about 900 years, which is a very big chunk of ancient history.
Minoans arent european though? Myceneanas sure, Minoans are thought to be from central Anatolia or Cyprus IIRC? But your right they were the hightech badboys of the 3rd and 2nd millenium. Geothermal, paved roads, epic economic centralization. @@tsopmocful1958
Arguablly western civilization starts with the german ascension, as we're all technically german or of german descent here in the western world ;p But i mean pre indo-europeans were building cool shit in western europe at the same time as the pyramids. it just wasent quite as impressive as Sumeria or Egypt ahah.
Western civilization is a made up term.
@@tsopmocful1958 You misunderstand, I'm not saying that Egypt is older than Minoans, Mycenaeans (even though it is) or any other group. I'm saying that it's remarkable how they lasted for so long as a culture, so long in fact that if you measure the amount of time they were around, it's longer than the amount of time it's been since the ancient rise of the Greek City-states.
Of course, one could also argue that Egypt *is* a part of Western Civilization, but that's neither here nor there.
Sorry if you don't care but your drawing of the Nile river is a modern one. Where Aswan is today your drawing shows the Nile break its streamline and become jagged and uneven (about halfway up the river), then return to its softer river shape. This is because in the 1960's a dam was built there flooding that area disturbing the once more natural shape of the river. Figured it'd be an interesting fact to anyone who reads this.

When I was in primary school I remember struggling with the concept of Upper Egypt being lower on the map. My teacher should have just flipped the map upside down like you did here, it would have made so much more sense to my 8 year old mind lol
My primary teacher explained it like this: rivers are born in the mountains and flow down to the sea, so the north of Egypt is indeed Lower than the south. The same logic applies to many European regions where even inverting the map doesn't help, since most rivers don't flow as neatly from south to north as the Nile.
Actually it is called upper Egypt not because the orientation of the map, but because it has a higher elevation, and that's why the Nile flow in that direction.
why do you study egypt as a 8 year old?
@@Fearofthemonster they study ancient Egypt as an 8-year-old because you literally have to go to school as an 8-year-old and the teachers at school have to teach history because they are history teachers............
One of the underrated pharaoh of Egypt is Inaros II. During the time, Egypt was under Achaemenid rule, and is also the time the Greco Persian war is taking place. He is supposed to be the ruler of Sais, which is the capital at time which makes him pharaoh, so he threw a huge revolt against the Persians. He lost but dealt a devastating blow to the Achaemenid men and supplies so the Greeks can win the battle of plataea

Not only for that reason. The North on top convention is rather recent and quite Eurocentric.

Another convention, quite popular in the Middle Ages was with the East up.

@Έλληνας Εθνικιστής φίλε οι Αιγύπτιοι υπάρχουν από το 4.000 πΧ
@Έλληνας Εθνικιστής και οι "πελασγοι" δεν ειναι καν Ελληνες! Επισης ουτε οι μινωιτες ελληνες ηταν. 2ο Επισης,το ονομα σου τα λεει ολα : )
Ας δουμε τι εχουν να πουν οι αρχαιοι ημων προγονοι,καλο διαβασμα ; )
1,[ Ηροδοτου Ιστοριαι]Δεν είμαι σε θέση να δηλώσω με βεβαιότητα ποια γλώσσα μίλουσαν οι Πελασγοί, αλλά θα μπορούσαμε να λάβουμε υπόψη την ομιλία των Πελασγίων που εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν σε οικισμούς πάνω από την Τυρρηνία στην πόλη Κρεστον, πρώην γείτονες των Δωριέων που εκείνη τη στιγμή ζουσαν στη γη που ονομάζεται Θεσσαλλια. Επίσης οι Πελασγοί που κάποτε ζούσαν με τους Αθηναίους και στη συνέχεια εγκατασταθηκαν στην Πλάκα και την Σκύλακε στο Ελλήσποντο. Και μαζί με αυτούς,αλλοι που έζησαν με τις άλλες κοινότητες και κάποτε ήταν Πελασγοί αλλά άλλαξαν τα ονόματά τους. Αν μπορούμε να κρίνουμε με αυτά τα στοιχεία, οι Πελασγοί μιλούσαν μια βάρβαρη γλώσσα. Επομένως, αν η γλώσσα των Πελασγίων μιλιωταν σε όλα αυτά τα μέρη, οι άνθρωποι της Αττικής, αρχικά Πελασγοι, πρέπει να εμαθαν μια νέα γλώσσα όταν εξελληνιστικαν. Στην πραγματικότητα, ο λαός της Κρεστονίας και της Πλάκας δεν μιλα πλέον την ίδια γλώσσα, πράγμα που δείχνει ότι συνεχίζουν να χρησιμοποιούν τη διάλεκτο που έφεραν μαζί τους οι προγονοι τους όταν μετανάστευσαν στα εδαφη τους.
2, Όσο για τους Έλληνες, μου φαίνεται προφανές ότι από τότε που ηρθαν στον τοπο αυτο(ενν.την Ελλαδα), χρησιμοποίουσαν πάντα την ίδια γλώσσα. Ήταν αρχικά αδύναμοι, [...] αλλά μεγάλωσαν από μια μικρή ομάδα σε ένα πλήθος, ειδικά όταν πολλοί λαοί, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και πολλών βαρβάρων σε μεγάλους αριθμούς, τους είχαν προσχωρήσει. Επιπλέον, δεν νομίζω ότι οι Πελασγοι, οι οποίοι παρέμειναν βάρβαροι, αυξήθηκαν σημαντικά σε αριθμό ή εξουσία.[Ηροδοτου,Ιστοριαι]
3, Πριν από την εποχή του Έλληνα, γιου του Δευκαλιωνα ... η χώρα ειχε τα ονόματα των διαφορετικών φυλών, ιδιαίτερα των Πελασγίων. Δεν ήταν μέχρι που ο Έλλην και οι γιοι του έγιναν ισχυροί στην Φθιώτη και προσκλήθηκαν ως σύμμαχοι στις άλλες πόλεις, που απέκτησαν σταδιακά από τη σύνδεση το όνομα των Ελλήνων. Αν και περάσε πολύς καιρός πριν αυτό το όνομα μπορέσει να προσκολληθεί σε όλους.[...] .. μικτές βαρβαρικές φυλές που μιλάνε τις δύο γλώσσες. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα μικρό χαλκιδικό στοιχείο. αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός είναι οι Τυρρηνοί-Πελασγοί που κάποτε εγκαταστάθηκαν στη Λήμνο και την Αθήνα, και οι Βισαλίτες, οι Κρεστονικοί και οι Έωνες. Ολες αυτες οι πόλεις είναι μικρές.
[Θουκιδιδης. Ιστορια του Πελλοπονησιακου πολεμου]
4, Στην περιγραφή της Ελλάδος, ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει τους Αρκάδες που δηλώνουν ότι ο Πελασγός (μαζί με τον λαο του) ήταν ο πρώτος κάτοικος της γης τους . Όταν έγινε βασιλιάς, ο Πελασγός ήταν υπεύθυνος για την επινόηση καλύβων, παλτών από δερας πρόβατων και μιας διατροφής που ειχε βαση τα βελανίδια. Επιπλέον, η γη που κυβέρνησε ονομάστηκε "Πελασγία". Όταν ο Αρκάς έγινε βασιλιάς, η Πελασγία μετονομάστηκε σε «Αρκαδία» και οι κάτοικοί της (οι Πελασγοί) εξελληνιστικαν και εγιναν οι «Αρκάδες» . Ο Παυσανίας αναφέρει επίσης τους Πελασγούς ως υπεύθυνους για τη δημιουργία μιας ξύλινης εικόνας του Ορφέα σε ένα ιερό της Δήμητρας στη Θήρα καθώς επίσης και για την απομάκρυνση των Μινυών και των Λακεδαιμονίων από τη Λήμνο.

In ancient Egypt the worst curse you could ever visit upon someone was to erase a person's name, image and to never say their name again, similar to the Roman practice of a damnatio memoriae. To them, a name had power, a name told a person's story, and a name kept a person's memory alive, so whenever you say someone's name they're remembered, they live on in their afterlife. To never say their name again basically meant to deny them an afterlife and, so far as I know, they only did that to Hatshepsut and Akhenaton.

I’ve always wondered why Egypt never really got back on its feet after the Bronze Age collapse, why was it so fragmented? Why did no one succeed in unifying it for so long?
Check out extra credits on the bronze age collapse. The bronze age relied heavily on international trade. When their neighbors collapsed the tin trade stopped and their ability to produce more bronze stopped as well. The economy crashed, tax revenue plummeted, and the states ability to fund a army stopped. Unable to rely on the state regional nobles supplied security and central authority lost it's control.
Egypt was back on its feet with the Ptolemaids, sorta, but the center of gravity had changed: it was not anymore just West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean: first it was the growing power of Greece, suddenly consolidated into Hellenism by Alexander (sometimes a single leader changes things a lot), then two new powers based to their West arose: Rome and Carthage, their advantage was that, being roughly equal to their Eastern Hellenistic rivals, incl. Egypt, they had "barbarian" Western lands to expand onto, notably Iberia with its then still fabulous mineral riches. Once the Rome-Carthage conflict was settled, the Eastern powers could only submit one by one, by grade or force, to the victor. The only one who did not was Persia reborn (as Parthia first, Sassanid Persia later) but even these could not hope to wrestle control of the Mediterranean coasts to Rome without a navy.
It was a geopolitical shift, somewhat comparable to the one that happened in the Middle Ages when the center shifted from Italy and the Mediterranean to NW Europe around Belgium, and also to the one that happened in the 20th century when Europe lost its global preeminence.

History is a Symphony of Slaughter
Kj_mast_er We wuz khanz and shiiiet with no evidence and all the real evidence pointing to the opposite...Example, egyptians used chariots. Where in african history do you see them using wheels let alone chariots...
@@rayoflight8498 Nubians, and there are literally hundreds of drawings of chariots on the walls of caves and ruins across West African. They also used them for pottery and weaving all across Africa just not transportation it took too much manpower to build roads and they already had horses, camel, and donkeys.
Awesome episode . No youtuber comes close to your great informativ videos
I love this video, and history! Could you make a video about germany? I live in America but I am mostly german so, yeah
Excellent. Good graphics. I wouldn't mind longer segments. Thank you.
Great history 👍🏾
Awesome video bro
Very cool how you flipped the map since not only did it explain a lot of the names of the areas but also gave us the perspective of Egypt
There is something almost magical about ancient egypt and how well it did for so long
Long ago the Egyptians and Hittites lived in peace. Then everything changed when the Sea People attacked.
Thank you for this easy information, I've been interested in ancient egypt quite recently.
With relatively modern equipment, it still took thirty years to finish Philadelphia's City Hall, from 1871 to 1901. Whereas it took twenty years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza. My mind is broken.
well if all the people in North America at the time helps building it it would be faster, the amount of labors matters
in the 1800's . suez canal was built in 10 years. the new canal was built in 1 year
Maybe thats a wrong number? Or maybe the egyptians did not build the great pyrimide at all
@@mahmoudsobhyx Egyptians always do miracles
So much info in such short time. Will have to rewatch it a few times. Thank you for your effort.
Great video bro! The ancient Egyptians were a controversial yet fascinating ancient group!
@ydntbh122 just Egyptians like modern Egyptians...
@ASuperSomali yeah, but that's crazy! I never viewed the ancient Egyptians as being the modern Americanized definitions of black or white. They were their own distinct north african group..
@Bblurre no, that's not true. Black people like us in America today came from west Africa not North East Africa. Groups like the Ethiopians, Lybians, & those from Sudan are closest peoples we have to the ancient Egyptians would have been. & even then their still not accurate...
@Bblurre oh okay I thought u were talking about modern black American people...
@@omegaink5635
Ethiopians and Sudanese are nothing like the ancient Egyptians.
Whether Blacks of west Africa or mutts of East Africa, none of them are even remotely similar to the ancient Egyptians.
Only modern Egyptians are the closest to the ancient Egyptians, especially modern Egyptians in rural areas who are pure literal descendants of the ancient Egyptians, and guess what ? They look nothing like Ethiopians or Sudanese.
I love how the great pyramid of Giza is aligned to true north as well as aligned with Orion and how it tells the circumference of the Earth and so on.
0:12 why does the upside down map make me so uncomfortable?!
I knew I women once who had a map of the world with everything upside down. It's certainly interesting
Great video! Really like the art! The smaller art is very detailed!
A more accurate title would be "Ancient Egypt, the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall"
(Once for Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, Neo-Egyptian Empire, Post-Assyrian Egypt, the Egypt briefly independent from Persia, and Ptolemaic Egypt each.)
I like the short condensed version which is more informative than the other long drawn out versions.
Hey epimetheus could you do another video on ancient Israel?
Darth Revan He did another? I know he did one a while back but I felt it was a bit bare bones tbh.
The ancient times of the late 1940s? Just kidding :)
@Darth Revan no he didn't...

Great video!
Epimetheus, can you please make a video on the history of Cambodia. Please respond to my comment.
Very nice job. Your videos are next to perfect. So glad I subbed long ago.
So, is it possible that the Hicsos be predecessors of the Sea Peoples?
Saddest part was abandoning the Mitanni :/
Nice video indeed, loved the map! Thank you for all your videos 😎
Still waiting for Elamites video xd
Some (but surely not most) of the Sea Peoples were surely Semites. Israel is mentioned for the first time in the SP wave led by the Hitites. Another likely Semitic SP were the Shekelesh, who are documented as circumcised (the Egyptians would cut your hands as war trophy if you followed their own custom of circumcision but your genitals if not, and other than Egyptians and some Black Africans only the Semites did so) and also have a name that may mean "mercenary" (shekel = Canaanite "pound", first weight later coin). These people surely ended in Sicily, not just because of the name resemblance but also because Sicilians are in terms genetic anomalously tending to the Levant (and there's no other good explanation).
But otherwise most Sea Peoples were northerners from the Aegean or westerners from NW Africa (Libu, Meswesh) and Sardinia (Sherden), maybe even mainland Italy in the case of the unidentified Weshesh (sounds to me like Ausones, an aboriginal nation of southern Italy).
@@LuisAldamiz very interesting, thanks!
@yah' qub - What? We don't know for sure who exactly the Hyksos were. If anything it's you who's talking "pseudo-history" by assimilating them to Hittites (Nesites), who were not yet in the regional geopolitcal scene even.
Almost uniformly historians agree that the Hycsos were Semitic warlords of some sort. Many theories have suggested proto-Hebrews and maybe there's something to it, but they were mostly worshipers of Seth, the Egyptian god of Chaos and War, so if anything something way too "proto" to be identified as such.
@yah' qub - Just to set the record straight: the Hyksos are from the Second Intermediate Period, at the beginning of the Bronze Age, while the Sea Peoples are from before the Third Intermediate Period, at the very end of the Bronze Age. A thousand years separate both groups!
And yes Israel (or something very similar that is almost universally accepted as that) is mentioned in the "Nine Bows Coalition" or Hittite-led early "Sea Peoples" invasion. But these are not exactly the groups we know as Sea Peoples decades later, led probably by the Mycenaean Greeks (Deneen = Danaoi) on rampage after destroying Troy, although some groups do overlap in both waves (not Israel though, only mention). Look up "Israel stele" if you don't believe what I say.
@yah' qub First of all: LOL, you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.
Second and more to the point: the Hebrews are and were Canaanites, just a destructive cult at the semi-desertic margin at first (or something like that), the Canaanites were Semitic, all the Levant was Semitic since at least 4000 BCE and the Semitic-speaking Phoenicians considered themselves to be Canaanites (Phoenician is a Greek exonym). Hebrew is just one branch or dialect of the Canaanite language. El is how the Canaanites said "God" and Elohim is how the Canaanites said "the gods" (Allah is also derived from that root but Arabic is a slightly distinct branch of Northern Semitic, Southern Semitic is now only spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia but was in the past extended by Yemen and much of Arabia). After the conquest of Sumeria, all the Middle East south of Turkey and Kurdistan and West of Iran was Semitic.
"Hamite" was used in linguistics to refer to what we now know as the main non-Semitic branches of Afroasiatic. It is an obsolete term (of Biblical origin indeed): today the linguistic consensus is that the family is Afroasiatic and also includes Semitic, and not only Berber, Coptic and Cushitic (Somali, Oromo, etc.)
Back to the Hyksos, I'm glad you seem to concede that they were not Hittites and were from Canaan or otherwise the Levant. We're making improvements. Now you just need to accept that the Canaanites were Semitic, something we know for a fact, partly because of their Hebrew branch and partly because of their other historical branch: the Phoencians (self-named Canaanites).
