Professor, please write few books on Middle-East, US Foreign Policy and WWII and all other topics that you are well versed in. I had already purchased your fiction book, just to show my gratitude for all the knowledge that I've gained from your videos (despite I only read non-fiction). I wish I was where you are so I could gatecrash all your lectures. Sincere, heartfelt gratitude Sir!
19:10 - No nasty commentary for Dr. Casagranda from this Egyptologist...just the opposite: excellent presentation - accurate (for the most part), thoroughly researched, articulate, very well done!
I absolutely love your lectures. You’ve made me think very introspectively about myself and my place in the world but also my ideals. You’re a very eloquent speaker
Love the content as an Egyptian myself. I’ve been watching almost all the professor’s lectures. There’s a couple of mistakes in translation and I hope someone can get the professor to see please. The word Misr has been even in ancient Egyptian language according to Egyptologists. Al Quahira is named after a planet or star that the Arabs called Al Quaher which still means conquerer . In another lecture , Al Quaeda القاعدة does not mean leader القائد it means the base or in that context means the fundamental base. I’m here commenting as a translator actually. Thanks for all the informative lectures.
Dr Roy, Thank you for educating us about our own history & culture on our ancestors in ancient Egypt. We are very meticulous. I constantly watch, learn and enjoy your insightful lectures. Being from Egypt 🇪🇬 , I would like to point out a few things that are related to your lecture. About 7,000 years ago, Ancient Egypt, ruled over (Kush/Gosh) North Sudan & Regions of Ethiopia (Punt) towards the Red Sea. All of this area was called Ke-Me-T means the land of the black soil. The cousins in present day Sudan always had a Lovehate relationship with their Northern cousins the Egyptians, which we still see in this present day. The two countries split creating the current present day border line between Egypt & Sudan. The Northerns eventually called Gypts and the southerners called Gosh. Now let’s talk about Gypt. The name E-GYPT. Hwt-Ka-Ptah which means The House of the Spirit of Ptah. Ka-Ptah is what the Egyptians called themselves (the Coptic People) thats why you get the name Gypt قبط which means Coptic meaning Egyptian. All Egyptians from all diverse races due to 2,500 years of wars and colonialism until recently by the Arabs after the Romans, but in essence all Egyptians are Coptic people from Ka-Ptah (the Spirit of Ptah) When the Ptolemies ruled Egypt, they could pronounce the ح sound. 7ut be came Hut Pta7 be came Ptah The name transformed from Hwt-Ka-Ptah to AeGy-Pta using the southern accent eventually transforming name into E-Gypt or Egypt. But in essence Ka-Ptah means Spirit of Ptah means Coptic which is the essence of all present day living Egyptians. Please remember the next time you give this lecture. Remind the world that because of the present Greek written Coptic (corrupt Ka-Ptah written in the 4th font) Champollion was able to decipher and read ancient Ka-Ptah Glyphs of the Ancient Coptic language). Coptic is very essential to read and understand the Glyphs especially the pronunciations.
Sir, I think Khalid Bin Waleed is a good subject especially for the Arab, South East Asia and the Muslim world. I'm going to be cheeky just avoid the word "hate'" That book if you do write will be a mega Hit🎉
I am just so proud to be related to The Egyptian history and the Islamic History both both civilizations held great golden ages in innovation and it is just beyond what the media tries to paint us with and paint the west with.
When islam has to go back centuries to bring up how theyre useful is quite degrading. Islam has catapulted their respective majority countries back to the stone ages and dont blame the west because the west only account for only 300 years in recent memory. Theres hundreds more years where the islamists have set back society. The Muslims of the golden ages pnly stole previous knowledge of the colonised. islam produces nothing it only steals
No disrespect, but as a modern Egyptian do you really feel connected to the ancient Egyptian civilization? (I mean other than the name and occupation of the same region... and probably a genetic relation to some extent) I mean, as we both eat bread and drink beer, and use paper etc, should we both also feel equally decendant from them and equally proud of their achievements?
I was really stuck by how many empty seats there were at the beginning of the lecture. This professor is so good… what’s the deal?! (Maybe a Covid thing? A Texas thing, lol?)
11:58 While the Sahara is growing and there is evidence of human impact causing it to expand, there is a natural climatic cycle that causes the Sahara to green and then desertify. It is a 21,000 year cycle. There are UA-cams on it and also scholarly articles.
Most environments exist at tipping points. Cycles happen, mankind disregards and exacerbates the tipping points. If you prefer, climate change happens, the problem is speed. Our behavior hastens the change, faster than our ability to adapt.
Finally.... Thankyou.... You are the only person I have EVER heard pronounce Hathor correctly.... EVER. even the most qualified "experts" I've heard pronounce the "th" like this and that. But it is "T...H" two letters. Hat.... Hor.
As soon as you started to say 3132 I already knew what the number was going to end on seeing how obseased George Washington was with Osiris and other Egyptian gods that are misnamed thanks to the Greeks and because of free masonry history my favorite lecture I’ve seen so far. Very interesting
Would you please establish a link to your lecture on the Races? Or give a lecture defining the Races. I would love to know your definitions of Race. I believe it would help more than just I in fully grasping your lectures.
2 mins in he mentions precipitation and it reminded me of when i was in 6th grade, we had a project where everyone picked a country to do a report on so we got these big packets with questions to look up and write down the answers and i picked egypt and one of the questions was % precipitation and i'd finished the entire rest of the packet and was looking for the rest of out time in the computer lab trying to find this info and i couldn't and i was like on the verge of tears telling my teacher i couldn't find the answer and she said to just put 0 because it doesn't rain there and i was like uhh okay cool 😎good times
When the Ptolemies were reading about pharaohs marrying sisters I guess the Egyptian priests or translators just went along with the train of thought and kept their mouth shut, they must have gossiped in private that the Greeks were weird.
I find it amazing how many people disassociate ancient and even modern Egypt/Kemet from Africa. Egyptians regarded Areas like Ethiopia as the land of the Gods, is their a social political reason for this I wonder
I AM AN INDIGENOUS NORTH AFRICAN. I AM AN INDIGENOUS MASRI (EGYPTIAN). Let me educate you on what a North African and an Egyptian is ... FYI, prior to Roman Era Greek astronomer & geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus changed the world map by including Egypt in Africa during the 2nd Century CE, all the earlier ancient Greek and Phoenician (i.e., ancient Lebanese) world maps included Egypt in Asia (and NOT in Africa). Our ancient Egyptians themselves regarded Egypt as the centre of the world map with the rest of Ta Mazgha (North Africa) to its West and Greater Syria (which included Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan) and Iraq (Sumer-Babylonia) to its East. In our ancient Egyptian Book Of The Gates (Pylons), which dated to 19th & 20th Dynasty tombs of the New Kingdom, we have clear images on the walls which depict our ancient Egyptian idea of human races: Ourselves at the centre were RETH; to our East, were the Aamu (Asiatics); to our West, were the Temehu (Libyans); to our North, were the Nehesu (Nubians/Blacks)...I say North because to our Pharaounic ancestors, Nubia & Sudan were considered North due to the Nile River flowing toward the Mediterranean. FYI, Qibti (Coptic) language only dated from 3rd Century CE during the Roman occupation of our Egypt and is far more Demotic Greek than Nesweti / Masri (indigenous Egyptian). Just look at the Qibti (Coptic) script and compare to Demotic or Koine Greek writing...And then compare it to our native Nesweti / Masri CURSIVE ancient Egyptian writing (whom the Greeks called 'Hieratic' or "Sacred Text"). Notwithstanding all the Qibti (Coptic) dialects of Akhmimic; Bohairic; Fayyumic; Sahidic; etc. ... Also, there is Ethiopian Coptic which linguistically is mixed in with Ge'ez (the pre-Amharic language of Aksumite Ethiopia). It too is heavily Demotic Greek. It is hilarious that we have all these foreigners uploading opinions on UA-cam (most who have never even set foot in North Africa or even Sub-Saharan Africa, for that matter)....What do any of you think is meant by "African"? 'African' originally applied to Saharan or North African (Morocco to Egypt). Not Sub-Saharan. The appellation 'Africa' was derived from the Afriqi Amazigh (Berber) tribe of Tunisia. They worshipped the ancient Cave-Goddess 'AFRI' ... The Tamazight word for 'Cave' was 'AFER'. Tunisia's ancient name was AFRIQIYAH after the Afriqi Amazigh tribe. Technically, all indigenous "North Africans" are Imazighen (aka "Berbers" as the Europeans erroneously call us). Our presence in North Africa has been attested by science through forensic anthropology since eons before the geological desertification of the Sahara (that occurred from 6000-3000 BCE) ! The ancient indigenous name of North Africa was TA MAZGHA (which our ancient Egyptian ancestors called TA MESHWESH), THREE (3) MILLENNIA before the Arab invasion of the 7th Century CE. The Greeks and Romans called all of North Africa 'Africa' and its inhabitants 'Africans', directly derived from Tunisia's ancient name of Afriqiyah. Sub-Saharans or Blacks were originally called ABYSSOS by the Greeks (adapted as HABASHI in Arabic). Greek: άβυσσος (ávyssos) → Latin: abyssus from which Abyssinia (Land of the Abyssus) is directly derived. The very name Ethiopia was Hellenized in the Greek language as they called that land Aethiops. Later in history, the name Abyssinia was limited to mean Ethiopia and Eritrea. And the name Aethiops being Greek, literally means 'Burned Faces' (Ethio means 'Burned' and Ops/Pia means 'Faces'). Previously, ABYSSINIA meant ALL of the Sub-Saharan continent and its inhabitants (i.e., "Black Africans") were known as 'ABYSSINIANS'. In time, the term 'African' came to be erroneously applied to Black 'Africans' just as the word 'Indian' was erroneously applied to indigenous Americans (e.g., Pueblo, Cherokee, Navajo, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Cheyenne, Lakota, Choctaw, etc.) by Europeans starting with Christopher Columbus. Indigenous (Native) Americans are no more 'Indian' from India than Blacks are really 'African'... Look at Asia and the term Asian. In North America, Asian means oriental (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.). In the UK and parts of Western Europe, Asian is exclusively referred to people of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. We Egyptians used to call our land (both Upper & Lower Egypt) TA MERY (Beloved Land). And also, would refer to our land as TA DESHRET (Red Land) and TA KHEMET (Black Land). Our forefathers were very much into colour-coding everything. Colours had deep, symbolic meanings to our ancestors. The Red Land represented the Red Deserts of Egypt while the Black Land represented the Black Silt of the Nile River which fertilized our Nile Valley. Deshret is the colour Red while Khemet is the colour Black (directly derived from its root word Khemi which is the ancient Egyptian word for the Nile River SILT). Btw, the ancient Tamazight (Berber) word for Land was also TA as it was in ancient Masri (Egyptian).
@@jurjyzaidan5540 it is amazing with what seems to be an intelligent argument you 'assume' to know where I am from, and I assume then that as 'today's map' shows Egypt is not on/apart of the continent known as Africa? Also was I wrong in stating the known fact Ethiopia as it is now called was regarded as the land of the God's?
@Oui So what point are trying to make? If you fully read and absorbed what I wrote, your question as to what Africa was and is and its relation to Egypt has been answered. I didn't assume where you are from ... I do assume that you are not Egyptian. No Egyptian would ask the question you did. We already know the answer. Ta Netjeru (Land of the Gods) is what our ancestors described Punt. The exact location of Punt is still debated by archaeologists. It could have been Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, NE Sudan, Djibouti, Yemen, South India, or Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Its first mention was during 5th Dynasty Pharaoh Sahure's reign. There is no earlier mention of it. The 18th Dynasty Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt (Ta Netjeru) brought back Gold, Ebony, Ivory, animal skins, and Zebu (short-horned) cattle. Zebu cattle are not indigenous to the African continent but are indigenous to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Yemen. Indigenous Ethiopian and Eritrean cattle (Sanga) are long-horns. However, they have been cross-bred since Medieval times with the South Arabian Zebu cattle. Ebony trees (Diospyros Ebenum) are grown naturally in Mozambique and Tanzania in Africa and in South India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia in Asia. Gold has always been plentiful in the Horn of Africa (East Africa) and South India and Sri Lanka. The names of the rulers of Punt are King Parahu and Queen Ati listed in Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt (Ta Netjeru). It was the Greeks who thought that the Land of the Gods was Ethiopia based on the following abstract of Diodorus Siculus (a Greek historian from the 1st century BCE): > However, modern anthropology, paleoecology, and geology have developed and evolved considerably since Diodorus Siculus' archaic assessment.
Before French philologist Jean Francois Champolllion deciphered the Ancient Egyptian Hieratic/Hieroglyphic language and script (via the Rosetta Stone) in 1822-1824, a native (indigenous) Egyptian from Akhmim, Sa'id (upper Egypt), the Muslim Sufi scholar Dhul' Nun Abul Faiz Thawban bin Ibrahim al-Misri (796-862 CE), had deciphered it back in the 9th Century A.D. All his literary works were preserved in the DAR-UL-ILM Islamic University of the FATIMID Caliphate of Egypt. The Darul Ilm was at Alexandria while the other equally great FATIMID Islamic University was the Al-Azhar at Qahirah (Cairo). Most unfortunately, when the Kurdish Sultan of northern Iraq, SALADIN (1137-1193 CE), conquered Egypt, he ordered all the books burned at the Dar ul-ilm university in Alexandria and had the university completely dismantled, which was then used for building material for new fortifications he ordered built. He almost did the same for the Al-Azhar university of Cairo but spared the building but instead, he had ordered all the Ismaili Muslim literature it contained to be burned. Saladin replaced it with Shafai Muslim doctrines. The Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt had preserved any surviving ancient Egyptian literature at Dar ul-ilm university that had escaped the Christian destruction of Ancient Egyptian literature when Egypt had been Christianized. Had Saladin not destroyed all this, native (indigenous) Islamicized Egyptians would have been recognized as the first to have deciphered Ancient Masri (Hieratic) or Medu (later Medunetjeru) long before any Europeans did. Btw, the earliest purpose for ancient Egyptian writing was not to record hymns or psalms to their gods but to record trade and commerce financial transactions and goods. That is why the language was simply known as and called Medu (literally 'words'). Later, when the sacred hymns and psalms were recorded, the language was then called Medu-Netjeru ('words of the gods'). Let me also clarify about when some of these foreigners or cultural thieves point out that Modern Egyptians call themselves the Arab Republic of Egypt to separate us from our ancient forefathers. The word ARAB in English is spelled and understood as such. In Arabic, there is a clear distinction between 'Arab and A'araab. Both are spelled the same in English but are spelled differently in Arabic. Because of this, their pronunciation differs in the Arabic language. For example in the Egyptian passport, the Arabic text reads: جمهورية مصر العربية Arab Republic of Egypt / Jumhūrīyat Miṣr al-ʻArabīyah or Gomhoreyyet Maṣr el-ʿArabeyya [Masri Arabic] ... Pay close attention to the spelling of the last word: العربية Al-Arabiyya This is a clear indication that it is referring to 'Arabs [ayn-ra-ba]. This is a generic label meaning Arabic-language speaker or Cultural Arab and includes Non-Arabs. اعراب = A'araab [alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba]. This refers to indigenous or true Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula. The A'araab [spelled alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba] are the ARABS who invaded and conquered much of the known world back from 644-751 CE. But because these A'araabs are severely criticized in a few verses in the Qur'an, they have propagandized the meaning of A'araab to mean Bedouins (or desert Arabs). Refer to Surah Tawbah verses 97-99 [9:97-99]. There is the Arabic language and its main dialects of Hejazi, Masri, Galbi, Maghrebi, and Khaleeji (along with 30 sub-dialects). Then there are various Arabic scripts (Hejazi, Mashq, Ma'il, Kufi, Naskhi, Rasm, Garshuni, Abjad, etc.). From pre-Islamic Nabataean (al-Anbat) Arabic, Sabaic (Zabur) pre-Islamic Yemeni Arabic, Qur'anic or Classical Arabic to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the English transliteration of a "desert Arab" is 'Badiya' (fem) and 'Badaw' (masc) from which 'Badawi' (masc) and 'Badawiyya' (fem) or 'Bedouin' (masc) / 'Bedouine' (fem) [the French language pronunciations] are directly derived. 'Badiya' (fem) and 'Badaw' (masc) literally mean "D-E-S-E-R-T". Consequentially, a "Badawi" (masc) or "Bedouin" (masc) is someone of or from the DESERT (as in someone who lives in the Desert). An alternate word for "DESERT" is 'Sahr', from which 'Sahraa' is directly derived. That is why some Arabs laugh when they hear English-speaking journalists or academics say "Sahara Desert" ... Because it literally means the ridiculously redundant "Desert Desert"...But have gotten used to it. This is the difference between Badaw and Arab. There are 2 appellations which in English are spelled the same but not in the Arabic language: ARAB in English is as you see it. In Arabic, there are 2 distinctions via Romanized transliteration: The Arabic language-speaker 'ARAB (spelled ayn-ra-ba) or Cultural Arab which include Non-Arabs and then the indigenous Arab from the Arabian Peninsula -- A'ARAAB (spelled alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba). This distinction is completely lost in English (both in translation and transliteration). Before the Arab (i.e., A'araab) invasions and occupation of North Africa, the indigenous population (the Imazighen/Berbers) spoke Tamazight (and its multiple dialects across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Western Egypt) and in Egypt, Qibti (Coptic). Greater Syria (which included Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan) spoke Aramaya or Aramaic (and its multiple dialects, a popular one being Syriac or Suryani). The (Mesopotamian) Iraqis spoke Kaldu (Chaldean) which directly derived from the ancient languages Emeku (Sumerian) and Akkadu (Akkadian). A crucial point to note is that pre-Islamic Arabic was originally rooted in THREE ancient languages: Iraq's Akkadu (Akkadian), Syria's Eblahi (Eblahite/Eblaic), and Egypt's Nesweti Medu-Netjeru.
Recently in a cave on border of Qazvin- Hamedan provinces of Iran there are foundings of human skeleton dated back 650000 years makes it oldest human skeleton on earth, it might be first human settlement after human moved out from Africa.
wow, it's no wonder ancient kemet has 25+ dynasties, they must be generous because they have to share and make sure those who are hungry and thirsty can meet their needs.
Regarding Aztecs and Cotton lecture. Christians were banned from entering Muslim territory because of the Crusades. Jews were allowed. They were defeated about 635 AD and not a threat. So, Jews could go to Muslim countries and trade, so the Jews became traders by default.
the 50th battle he mentioned about Khaleed bin Waleed might contain inaccuracies in number but romans definitely outnumbered the arab armies. also Khaleed was not a commander of the army until three appointed generals were killed before him. like Prophet appointed three men sequentially to lead the army if previous one get killed. so khaleed want appointed but had to led the men during the battle after all
What about the understanding that the huge blocks of the pyramid were poured...as supposedly they has technology to..melt limestone and granite..if so answers alot of questions including..perfect statues
I think this too. Easy work really. Also I believe the henges are all mummies in rocks. Seriously I do. I am a master mason and hobby ancient building tech. I can make rocks that look a million years old. Add the dust of some old bones and send it for testing. Boom! 10,000 year old stone… poured a week ago. Limestones are easy to make and sandstones of course. The nomadic ancients long figured out the best lock is a rock. No pirates can easily make off with multi tonned stones in a hurry. So bury your loot in stone. I have even identified a specific moss that grows on faux stone vaults of a certain people that used cows milk in their concrete mixes. St. Onehen ge = Owens grave
From the time of Imhotep and the construction of the step pyramid of Djoser to the building of the great Khufu pyramid it was supposedly only about a hundred years. So the storyline is that these people who didn't even know how to build stone arches went on, in about one hundred years later, to build one of the largest and most phenomenal buildings ever constructed, with building techniques making it earthquake proof and practically everlasting, made of massive granite blocks that they weren't supposed to be able to cut let alone polish to perfection, a geodetic masterpiece perfectly aligned to true north containing evidence of high geometric knowledge supposedly only discovered thousands of years later... that just doesn't sound like a story a sane man is supposed to believe.
This guy refutes these commonly held beliefs with very convincing arguments. Unfortunately, his videos are only available in Arabic at the moment: ua-cam.com/play/PL-07J7i9NNEXep1kgj6cRbHfbyl38WHJ3.html
I mean just look at recent history from 1899-1999. We went from most of the world using horse and carriages to cars,nukes, planes, and landing on the moon. In the midst those accomplishments major wars even took place
Love this guy but beware there are flagrant errors.3500 years ago he mentions Palestine instead of Judea. Please Roy correct your errors these are difficult times and you gave the responsibilty to be precise.
He also calls it Egypt throughout and not kemet or other ancient name, he's calling the countries by their modern name. The land between Egypt and Lebanon and Jordan is in fact Palestine! Not a flagrant mistake, we just don't agree with your colonizing world view! Cope❤

very hard question to answer because of inaccuracies of dates in the religious texts and Egyptians tend to rewrite and erase some part of history so the answer might be impossible to find with the data we have
actually Amenhotep IIII one god"aton" is not the sun he symbolizes him with the hands reach from behind the sun !!, yes the one god of Amenhotep IIII actually has no like.. exactly like god in monotheistic religions. Many claiming Amenhotep IIII was a prophet, or some one in his entourage was.
@@Mxgdy_ We're only going in circles because you came here with a claim and then command me to look up your claim. Maybe if you provide a source in your initial post, we wont go in circles? In anycase, I am not repeating something from my wishes, but sharing public knowledge. Arabic Masr/Misr is the same term as the Hebrew Mizraim. But in Hebrew, Mizraim was a specific part of modern Egypt. In Arabic, Masr can also mean to be just "Cairo".
25:16 i would like to add and comment on Egypt's name ,, ancient Egyptians named their country many names ,, the most famous ones Gebt-Kemet-Deshert ,, the (T) by the end of each names refer to (land) so GebT Means Geb's land who is the god of earth in the Egyptian mythology , which was changed changed later by foreigner invaders to Egypt ,, the other name was Kemet and as you mentioned its named after its Black soil so again T refers to for land so and Kem means black so, Black Land ,, those were 2 most fames names that ancient Egyptians called their countries . there was also Deshert which was meant Red Land referring to Sands which is known now in the English Language as Desert .
I can't believe he doesn't know that "Egypt" comes from the name of the city of Memphis "Ha-Ka-Ptah", meaning the house of the soul of the creation God Ptah.
It]s called Missir since the dawn of history and the names you mentioned are not for the country as one entity, but rather territorial names., the desert land, the agricultural land. land where gold is extracted from etc. Check the letters of Amarna and the Bible recorded that name too with the plural suffix Missrayim as we call us now Misseryin.
@@janusamoun3124 I always wonder if Ptah was ever from “Jupiter” reference? I’m India proper there is my “Gupta” and the word “Gu” seemed at times to refer to a god maybe? Just wondering
@@yonimaor1005I didn't say that. Kemet always refer to agricultural land and Deshert is the desert as we still use two separate words to refer to them, and the whole land and the country name was and still Missr and nations around us called it the same or with little accent change. I am not responsible of lack of knowledge or twisting informations for colonial and political reasons and it happens so many times.
Roy has Egyptian history wrong, Ramses II fought the Sea People, not Ramses III. This was when the Kuru destroyed the Yadava in the Kurukshetra war under the Babylonians and changed Sanatan religion with Semitic Hinduism and broke the Indian spine, from which they never recovered. 3200 years the first time the Indians discuss is when Modi was defeated by Mamta who sided with Goddess Durga dumping Ram (Ramses II), ending the landslide of Hindutya.
I wonder... Had Roy lived in ancient Egypt, would he be biased towards the Hixos or some other people that slowly merged (probably not volenterally) into the dominate civilization of the time? I mean, the Egyptians that he admires so much were essentially "The West" of their time. Would he still be pro-Egyptian, or would he prefer to speak for the less fortunate?
The Egyptians hired people from the south to work on the pyramid projects. They could well have been Jews from Nubia. Some of them stormed the north and even ruled the Egyptians.
Alexander the Great was amazing! Show me another proven historical figure that build such a empire, who studied under top philosopher, who made unified urban cities established one global language (hardly to imagine Christianity to spread without Greek being the common language) he founded cities libraries, managed to conquer the Afghanistan. And in end became a God worshiped for centuries, even to the point where Roman emperor paid him respect! Careful what God you anger :D :D :D

19:10 - No nasty commentary for Dr. Casagranda from this Egyptologist...just the opposite: excellent presentation - accurate (for the most part), thoroughly researched, articulate, very well done!
3000 years ago in Luxor there was a lecture where they too talk about ancient Kemet history.
The best professor I've come across in my generation so far! Nice one Roy

I absolutely love your lectures. You’ve made me think very introspectively about myself and my place in the world but also my ideals. You’re a very eloquent speaker
You are a hugely positive influence on humanity. Good for you.

Love the content as an Egyptian myself. I’ve been watching almost all the professor’s lectures. There’s a couple of mistakes in translation and I hope someone can get the professor to see please. The word Misr has been even in ancient Egyptian language according to Egyptologists. Al Quahira is named after a planet or star that the Arabs called Al Quaher which still means conquerer . In another lecture , Al Quaeda القاعدة does not mean leader القائد it means the base or in that context means the fundamental base. I’m here commenting as a translator actually. Thanks for all the informative lectures.
Dr Roy,
Thank you for educating us about our own history & culture on our ancestors in ancient Egypt. We are very meticulous.
I constantly watch, learn and enjoy your insightful lectures.
Being from Egypt 🇪🇬 , I would like to point out a few things that are related to your lecture.
About 7,000 years ago, Ancient Egypt, ruled over (Kush/Gosh) North Sudan & Regions of Ethiopia (Punt) towards the Red Sea. All of this area was called Ke-Me-T means the land of the black soil.
The cousins in present day Sudan always had a Lovehate relationship with their Northern cousins the Egyptians, which we still see in this present day. The two countries split creating the current present day border line between Egypt & Sudan. The Northerns eventually called Gypts and the southerners called Gosh.
Now let’s talk about Gypt. The name E-GYPT.
Hwt-Ka-Ptah which means The House of the Spirit of Ptah. Ka-Ptah is what the Egyptians called themselves (the Coptic People) thats why you get the name Gypt قبط which means Coptic meaning Egyptian.
All Egyptians from all diverse races due to 2,500 years of wars and colonialism until recently by the Arabs after the Romans, but in essence all Egyptians are Coptic people from Ka-Ptah (the Spirit of Ptah)
When the Ptolemies ruled Egypt, they could pronounce the ح sound.
7ut be came Hut
Pta7 be came Ptah
The name transformed from Hwt-Ka-Ptah to AeGy-Pta using the southern accent eventually transforming name into E-Gypt or Egypt.
But in essence Ka-Ptah means Spirit of Ptah means Coptic which is the essence of all present day living Egyptians.
Please remember the next time you give this lecture. Remind the world that because of the present Greek written Coptic (corrupt Ka-Ptah written in the 4th font) Champollion was able to decipher and read ancient Ka-Ptah Glyphs of the Ancient Coptic language).
Coptic is very essential to read and understand the Glyphs especially the pronunciations.
Wow! I think Egypt's history is actually our World's history! Surprising, how one country has such a long recorded history!
What's crazy is that what we know about Egypt's history is only a fraction of a percentage of the actual history of Egypt. Most of it was lost.
He is like a walking library...so much knowledge and information❤❤❤
How he retains the mass of knowledge he has is astounding
Is this his actual channel? Ever since I saw this man on UA-cam shorts I had to find him,
Love the way he tells history.
Sir, I think Khalid Bin Waleed is a good subject especially for the Arab, South East Asia and the Muslim world. I'm going to be cheeky just avoid the word "hate'" That book if you do write will be a mega Hit🎉
I am just so proud to be related to The Egyptian history and the Islamic History both
both civilizations held great golden ages in innovation and it is just beyond what the media tries to paint us with and paint the west with.
When islam has to go back centuries to bring up how theyre useful is quite degrading. Islam has catapulted their respective majority countries back to the stone ages and dont blame the west because the west only account for only 300 years in recent memory. Theres hundreds more years where the islamists have set back society.
The Muslims of the golden ages pnly stole previous knowledge of the colonised. islam produces nothing it only steals
No disrespect, but as a modern Egyptian do you really feel connected to the ancient Egyptian civilization?
(I mean other than the name and occupation of the same region... and probably a genetic relation to some extent)
I mean, as we both eat bread and drink beer, and use paper etc, should we both also feel equally decendant from them and equally proud of their achievements?
@@yonimaor1005 I feel more connected to them, than to the Arabs in Saudi Arabia in a way.
We should be proud of them indeed.
@@zgoodt Would you say most modern Egyptians feel the same?
If so, why do you think this is so?
@@yonimaor1005 We do.
Based on dna tests and other things.
One of the best ACC professors!
Great prof. Casagranda . Thank you !
clicked like before i even heard anything.
this guy is amazing
I was really stuck by how many empty seats there were at the beginning of the lecture. This professor is so good… what’s the deal?! (Maybe a Covid thing? A Texas thing, lol?)
11:58 While the Sahara is growing and there is evidence of human impact causing it to expand, there is a natural climatic cycle that causes the Sahara to green and then desertify. It is a 21,000 year cycle. There are UA-cams on it and also scholarly articles.
came to mention it, but I'm happy you alredy made it!
Ya, with all his knowledge I often find he tells half truths to make a point... He has no shame.
Most environments exist at tipping points. Cycles happen, mankind disregards and exacerbates the tipping points. If you prefer, climate change happens, the problem is speed. Our behavior hastens the change, faster than our ability to adapt.

You are a genius when you have a teacher like him... I wish I can be his student
Thanks!
Interesting lectures. I'm mostly continuing to watch to see if he ever says with a Russian accent "I want my bird."
Professor please start tours. Come to Australia, you’re fantastic.
This man makes history a living thing. Amazing.
My version of heaven is this guy teaching me every historical fact ever.
You are a master. Thank u!
Finally.... Thankyou....
You are the only person I have EVER heard pronounce Hathor correctly.... EVER. even the most qualified "experts" I've heard pronounce the "th" like this and that. But it is "T...H" two letters. Hat.... Hor.
Mahalo nui loa🙌🏽 ty for laffs😅
Thank you Professor, it is interesting revised for the ancient history of African civilization
Favorite professor 💯💯💯💯
As soon as you started to say 3132 I already knew what the number was going to end on seeing how obseased George Washington was with Osiris and other Egyptian gods that are misnamed thanks to the Greeks and because of free masonry history my favorite lecture I’ve seen so far. Very interesting
Sahara being a desert has to do with earth's axis
Dr Roy Casagranda. you are the man!
He is a charlatan !
Egypt only 6500 years old?
More like 15000 at least
7:02 i think what he says here is very big deal but it flies pass our heads
I completely agree
Thank God for you
Imagine Dr Ray on the JRE podcast 🤯
How isnt this place packed😮 i would love to be able to attend these lectures. To bad im a linesman and not a history student 😂
Would you please establish a link to your lecture on the Races? Or give a lecture defining the Races. I would love to know your definitions of Race. I believe it would help more than just I in fully grasping your lectures.
2 mins in he mentions precipitation and it reminded me of when i was in 6th grade, we had a project where everyone picked a country to do a report on so we got these big packets with questions to look up and write down the answers and i picked egypt and one of the questions was % precipitation and i'd finished the entire rest of the packet and was looking for the rest of out time in the computer lab trying to find this info and i couldn't and i was like on the verge of tears telling my teacher i couldn't find the answer and she said to just put 0 because it doesn't rain there and i was like uhh okay cool 😎good times
When the Ptolemies were reading about pharaohs marrying sisters I guess the Egyptian priests or translators just went along with the train of thought and kept their mouth shut, they must have gossiped in private that the Greeks were weird.
Very interesting.
I find it amazing how many people disassociate ancient and even modern Egypt/Kemet from Africa. Egyptians regarded Areas like Ethiopia as the land of the Gods, is their a social political reason for this I wonder
I AM AN INDIGENOUS NORTH AFRICAN. I AM AN INDIGENOUS MASRI (EGYPTIAN). Let me educate you on what a North African and an Egyptian is ... FYI, prior to Roman Era Greek astronomer & geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus changed the world map by including Egypt in Africa during the 2nd Century CE, all the earlier ancient Greek and Phoenician (i.e., ancient Lebanese) world maps included Egypt in Asia (and NOT in Africa). Our ancient Egyptians themselves regarded Egypt as the centre of the world map with the rest of Ta Mazgha (North Africa) to its West and Greater Syria (which included Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan) and Iraq (Sumer-Babylonia) to its East. In our ancient Egyptian Book Of The Gates (Pylons), which dated to 19th & 20th Dynasty tombs of the New Kingdom, we have clear images on the walls which depict our ancient Egyptian idea of human races: Ourselves at the centre were RETH; to our East, were the Aamu (Asiatics); to our West, were the Temehu (Libyans); to our North, were the Nehesu (Nubians/Blacks)...I say North because to our Pharaounic ancestors, Nubia & Sudan were considered North due to the Nile River flowing toward the Mediterranean. FYI, Qibti (Coptic) language only dated from 3rd Century CE during the Roman occupation of our Egypt and is far more Demotic Greek than Nesweti / Masri (indigenous Egyptian). Just look at the Qibti (Coptic) script and compare to Demotic or Koine Greek writing...And then compare it to our native Nesweti / Masri CURSIVE ancient Egyptian writing (whom the Greeks called 'Hieratic' or "Sacred Text"). Notwithstanding all the Qibti (Coptic) dialects of Akhmimic; Bohairic; Fayyumic; Sahidic; etc. ... Also, there is Ethiopian Coptic which linguistically is mixed in with Ge'ez (the pre-Amharic language of Aksumite Ethiopia). It too is heavily Demotic Greek. It is hilarious that we have all these foreigners uploading opinions on UA-cam (most who have never even set foot in North Africa or even Sub-Saharan Africa, for that matter)....What do any of you think is meant by "African"? 'African' originally applied to Saharan or North African (Morocco to Egypt). Not Sub-Saharan. The appellation 'Africa' was derived from the Afriqi Amazigh (Berber) tribe of Tunisia. They worshipped the ancient Cave-Goddess 'AFRI' ... The Tamazight word for 'Cave' was 'AFER'. Tunisia's ancient name was AFRIQIYAH after the Afriqi Amazigh tribe. Technically, all indigenous "North Africans" are Imazighen (aka "Berbers" as the Europeans erroneously call us). Our presence in North Africa has been attested by science through forensic anthropology since eons before the geological desertification of the Sahara (that occurred from 6000-3000 BCE) ! The ancient indigenous name of North Africa was TA MAZGHA (which our ancient Egyptian ancestors called TA MESHWESH), THREE (3) MILLENNIA before the Arab invasion of the 7th Century CE. The Greeks and Romans called all of North Africa 'Africa' and its inhabitants 'Africans', directly derived from Tunisia's ancient name of Afriqiyah. Sub-Saharans or Blacks were originally called ABYSSOS by the Greeks (adapted as HABASHI in Arabic). Greek: άβυσσος (ávyssos) → Latin: abyssus from which Abyssinia (Land of the Abyssus) is directly derived. The very name Ethiopia was Hellenized in the Greek language as they called that land Aethiops. Later in history, the name Abyssinia was limited to mean Ethiopia and Eritrea. And the name Aethiops being Greek, literally means 'Burned Faces' (Ethio means 'Burned' and Ops/Pia means 'Faces'). Previously, ABYSSINIA meant ALL of the Sub-Saharan continent and its inhabitants (i.e., "Black Africans") were known as 'ABYSSINIANS'. In time, the term 'African' came to be erroneously applied to Black 'Africans' just as the word 'Indian' was erroneously applied to indigenous Americans (e.g., Pueblo, Cherokee, Navajo, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Cheyenne, Lakota, Choctaw, etc.) by Europeans starting with Christopher Columbus. Indigenous (Native) Americans are no more 'Indian' from India than Blacks are really 'African'... Look at Asia and the term Asian. In North America, Asian means oriental (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.). In the UK and parts of Western Europe, Asian is exclusively referred to people of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. We Egyptians used to call our land (both Upper & Lower Egypt) TA MERY (Beloved Land). And also, would refer to our land as TA DESHRET (Red Land) and TA KHEMET (Black Land). Our forefathers were very much into colour-coding everything. Colours had deep, symbolic meanings to our ancestors. The Red Land represented the Red Deserts of Egypt while the Black Land represented the Black Silt of the Nile River which fertilized our Nile Valley. Deshret is the colour Red while Khemet is the colour Black (directly derived from its root word Khemi which is the ancient Egyptian word for the Nile River SILT). Btw, the ancient Tamazight (Berber) word for Land was also TA as it was in ancient Masri (Egyptian).
@@jurjyzaidan5540 it is amazing with what seems to be an intelligent argument you 'assume' to know where I am from, and I assume then that as 'today's map' shows Egypt is not on/apart of the continent known as Africa?
Also was I wrong in stating the known fact Ethiopia as it is now called was regarded as the land of the God's?
@Oui
So what point are trying to make? If you fully read and absorbed what I wrote, your question as to what Africa was and is and its relation to Egypt has been answered. I didn't assume where you are from ... I do assume that you are not Egyptian. No Egyptian would ask the question you did. We already know the answer. Ta Netjeru (Land of the Gods) is what our ancestors described Punt. The exact location of Punt is still debated by archaeologists. It could have been Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, NE Sudan, Djibouti, Yemen, South India, or Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Its first mention was during 5th Dynasty Pharaoh Sahure's reign. There is no earlier mention of it. The 18th Dynasty Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt (Ta Netjeru) brought back Gold, Ebony, Ivory, animal skins, and Zebu (short-horned) cattle. Zebu cattle are not indigenous to the African continent but are indigenous to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Yemen. Indigenous Ethiopian and Eritrean cattle (Sanga) are long-horns. However, they have been cross-bred since Medieval times with the South Arabian Zebu cattle. Ebony trees (Diospyros Ebenum) are grown naturally in Mozambique and Tanzania in Africa and in South India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia in Asia. Gold has always been plentiful in the Horn of Africa (East Africa) and South India and Sri Lanka. The names of the rulers of Punt are King Parahu and Queen Ati listed in Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt (Ta Netjeru). It was the Greeks who thought that the Land of the Gods was Ethiopia based on the following abstract of Diodorus Siculus (a Greek historian from the 1st century BCE): > However, modern anthropology, paleoecology, and geology have developed and evolved considerably since Diodorus Siculus' archaic assessment.
Guys, your argument can easily be brush aside as a matter of semantics.
Please keep it civil
You mean the Land of Punt which is modern day Somalia, not Ethiopia tho close.
Before French philologist Jean Francois Champolllion deciphered the Ancient Egyptian Hieratic/Hieroglyphic language and script (via the Rosetta Stone) in 1822-1824, a native (indigenous) Egyptian from Akhmim, Sa'id (upper Egypt), the Muslim Sufi scholar Dhul' Nun Abul Faiz Thawban bin Ibrahim al-Misri (796-862 CE), had deciphered it back in the 9th Century A.D. All his literary works were preserved in the DAR-UL-ILM Islamic University of the FATIMID Caliphate of Egypt. The Darul Ilm was at Alexandria while the other equally great FATIMID Islamic University was the Al-Azhar at Qahirah (Cairo). Most unfortunately, when the Kurdish Sultan of northern Iraq, SALADIN (1137-1193 CE), conquered Egypt, he ordered all the books burned at the Dar ul-ilm university in Alexandria and had the university completely dismantled, which was then used for building material for new fortifications he ordered built. He almost did the same for the Al-Azhar university of Cairo but spared the building but instead, he had ordered all the Ismaili Muslim literature it contained to be burned. Saladin replaced it with Shafai Muslim doctrines. The Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt had preserved any surviving ancient Egyptian literature at Dar ul-ilm university that had escaped the Christian destruction of Ancient Egyptian literature when Egypt had been Christianized. Had Saladin not destroyed all this, native (indigenous) Islamicized Egyptians would have been recognized as the first to have deciphered Ancient Masri (Hieratic) or Medu (later Medunetjeru) long before any Europeans did. Btw, the earliest purpose for ancient Egyptian writing was not to record hymns or psalms to their gods but to record trade and commerce financial transactions and goods. That is why the language was simply known as and called Medu (literally 'words'). Later, when the sacred hymns and psalms were recorded, the language was then called Medu-Netjeru ('words of the gods').
Let me also clarify about when some of these foreigners or cultural thieves point out that Modern Egyptians call themselves the Arab Republic of Egypt to separate us from our ancient forefathers. The word ARAB in English is spelled and understood as such. In Arabic, there is a clear distinction between 'Arab and A'araab. Both are spelled the same in English but are spelled differently in Arabic. Because of this, their pronunciation differs in the Arabic language. For example in the Egyptian passport, the Arabic text reads:
جمهورية مصر العربية Arab Republic of Egypt / Jumhūrīyat Miṣr al-ʻArabīyah or Gomhoreyyet Maṣr el-ʿArabeyya [Masri Arabic] ...
Pay close attention to the spelling of the last word:
العربية Al-Arabiyya
This is a clear indication that it is referring to 'Arabs [ayn-ra-ba]. This is a generic label meaning Arabic-language speaker or Cultural Arab and includes Non-Arabs. اعراب = A'araab [alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba]. This refers to indigenous or true Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula. The A'araab [spelled alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba] are the ARABS who invaded and conquered much of the known world back from 644-751 CE. But because these A'araabs are severely criticized in a few verses in the Qur'an, they have propagandized the meaning of A'araab to mean Bedouins (or desert Arabs). Refer to Surah Tawbah verses 97-99 [9:97-99].
There is the Arabic language and its main dialects of Hejazi, Masri, Galbi, Maghrebi, and Khaleeji (along with 30 sub-dialects). Then there are various Arabic scripts (Hejazi, Mashq, Ma'il, Kufi, Naskhi, Rasm, Garshuni, Abjad, etc.). From pre-Islamic Nabataean (al-Anbat) Arabic, Sabaic (Zabur) pre-Islamic Yemeni Arabic, Qur'anic or Classical Arabic to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the English transliteration of a "desert Arab" is 'Badiya' (fem) and 'Badaw' (masc) from which 'Badawi' (masc) and 'Badawiyya' (fem) or 'Bedouin' (masc) / 'Bedouine' (fem) [the French language pronunciations] are directly derived. 'Badiya' (fem) and 'Badaw' (masc) literally mean "D-E-S-E-R-T". Consequentially, a "Badawi" (masc) or "Bedouin" (masc) is someone of or from the DESERT (as in someone who lives in the Desert). An alternate word for "DESERT" is 'Sahr', from which 'Sahraa' is directly derived. That is why some Arabs laugh when they hear English-speaking journalists or academics say "Sahara Desert" ... Because it literally means the ridiculously redundant "Desert Desert"...But have gotten used to it. This is the difference between Badaw and Arab. There are 2 appellations which in English are spelled the same but not in the Arabic language: ARAB in English is as you see it. In Arabic, there are 2 distinctions via Romanized transliteration: The Arabic language-speaker 'ARAB (spelled ayn-ra-ba) or Cultural Arab which include Non-Arabs and then the indigenous Arab from the Arabian Peninsula -- A'ARAAB (spelled alef-ayn-ra-alef-ba). This distinction is completely lost in English (both in translation and transliteration).
Before the Arab (i.e., A'araab) invasions and occupation of North Africa, the indigenous population (the Imazighen/Berbers) spoke Tamazight (and its multiple dialects across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Western Egypt) and in Egypt, Qibti (Coptic). Greater Syria (which included Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan) spoke Aramaya or Aramaic (and its multiple dialects, a popular one being Syriac or Suryani). The (Mesopotamian) Iraqis spoke Kaldu (Chaldean) which directly derived from the ancient languages Emeku (Sumerian) and Akkadu (Akkadian). A crucial point to note is that pre-Islamic Arabic was originally rooted in THREE ancient languages: Iraq's Akkadu (Akkadian), Syria's Eblahi (Eblahite/Eblaic), and Egypt's Nesweti Medu-Netjeru.

Regarding Aztecs and Cotton lecture. Christians were banned from entering Muslim territory because of the Crusades. Jews were allowed. They were defeated about 635 AD and not a threat. So, Jews could go to Muslim countries and trade, so the Jews became traders by default.
Excellent but prefer your crusades era lectures
Haha he is amazing he slips LBJ Kennedy assassination reference. Now that's scholarly gangsta❤❤
the 50th battle he mentioned about Khaleed bin Waleed might contain inaccuracies in number but romans definitely outnumbered the arab armies. also Khaleed was not a commander of the army until three appointed generals were killed before him. like Prophet appointed three men sequentially to lead the army if previous one get killed. so khaleed want appointed but had to led the men during the battle after all
What about the understanding that the huge blocks of the pyramid were poured...as supposedly they has technology to..melt limestone and granite..if so answers alot of questions including..perfect statues
I think this too. Easy work really. Also I believe the henges are all mummies in rocks. Seriously I do. I am a master mason and hobby ancient building tech. I can make rocks that look a million years old. Add the dust of some old bones and send it for testing. Boom! 10,000 year old stone… poured a week ago.
Limestones are easy to make and sandstones of course.
The nomadic ancients long figured out the best lock is a rock.
No pirates can easily make off with multi tonned stones in a hurry. So bury your loot in stone.

From the time of Imhotep and the construction of the step pyramid of Djoser to the building of the great Khufu pyramid it was supposedly only about a hundred years.
So the storyline is that these people who didn't even know how to build stone arches went on, in about one hundred years later, to build one of the largest and most phenomenal buildings ever constructed, with building techniques making it earthquake proof and practically everlasting, made of massive granite blocks that they weren't supposed to be able to cut let alone polish to perfection, a geodetic masterpiece perfectly aligned to true north containing evidence of high geometric knowledge supposedly only discovered thousands of years later... that just doesn't sound like a story a sane man is supposed to believe.
This guy refutes these commonly held beliefs with very convincing arguments. Unfortunately, his videos are only available in Arabic at the moment: ua-cam.com/play/PL-07J7i9NNEXep1kgj6cRbHfbyl38WHJ3.html
Actually you're right, that's it was never only 4000 years civilization, it goes back to 12000 years
I mean just look at recent history from 1899-1999. We went from most of the world using horse and carriages to cars,nukes, planes, and landing on the moon. In the midst those accomplishments major wars even took place

Love this guy but beware there are flagrant errors.3500 years ago he mentions Palestine instead of Judea.
Please Roy correct your errors these are difficult times and you gave the responsibilty to be precise.
He also calls it Egypt throughout and not kemet or other ancient name, he's calling the countries by their modern name. The land between Egypt and Lebanon and Jordan is in fact Palestine! Not a flagrant mistake, we just don't agree with your colonizing world view! Cope❤
Wow i should of listened to this before going to Egypt/
It would be a surprise to the people of Sumer that the first government was born in Egypt.

The audio very low man
Amazing as usual. Dr Roy is a master of his craft. I have one question though. Which dynasty and which pharoah is associated with Moses?
Ramses II
Nobody knows it's all speculation
We don't know exactly when Moses lived
very hard question to answer because of inaccuracies of dates in the religious texts and Egyptians tend to rewrite and erase some part of history so the answer might be impossible to find with the data we have
actually Amenhotep IIII one god"aton" is not the sun he symbolizes him with the hands reach from behind the sun !!, yes the one god of Amenhotep IIII actually has no like.. exactly like god in monotheistic religions.
Many claiming Amenhotep IIII was a prophet, or some one in his entourage was.
26:54 Masr is also from the Biblical "Mizraim", which was the Hebrew name for the East bank of the Nile Delta.
I'm so sorry, Mizraim is a whole different thing. Try and research for biblical Egypt and the Arab Mizraim
@@Mxgdy_ You are mistaken. I am just repeating conventional information, not my own opinion.
Sorry we're going in circles here, Have you looked it up first?
@@BoqPrecision conventional information said by whom? :) That's why I'm asking you to look it up
@@Mxgdy_ We're only going in circles because you came here with a claim and then command me to look up your claim. Maybe if you provide a source in your initial post, we wont go in circles? In anycase, I am not repeating something from my wishes, but sharing public knowledge. Arabic Masr/Misr is the same term as the Hebrew Mizraim. But in Hebrew, Mizraim was a specific part of modern Egypt. In Arabic, Masr can also mean to be just "Cairo".
There is a good reason why this lecture is badly attended, need I say more.
Please do.
Roy stated there was a real battle of Armageddon, not the prophesied one of the Bible. So, when and where was that?
25:16 i would like to add and comment on Egypt's name ,, ancient Egyptians named their country many names ,, the most famous ones Gebt-Kemet-Deshert ,, the (T) by the end of each names refer to (land) so GebT Means Geb's land who is the god of earth in the Egyptian mythology , which was changed changed later by foreigner invaders to Egypt ,, the other name was Kemet and as you mentioned its named after its Black soil so again T refers to for land so and Kem means black so, Black Land ,, those were 2 most fames names that ancient Egyptians called their countries . there was also Deshert which was meant Red Land referring to Sands which is known now in the English Language as Desert .
I can't believe he doesn't know that "Egypt" comes from the name of the city of Memphis "Ha-Ka-Ptah", meaning the house of the soul of the creation God Ptah.
It]s called Missir since the dawn of history and the names you mentioned are not for the country as one entity, but rather territorial names., the desert land, the agricultural land. land where gold is extracted from etc.
Check the letters of Amarna and the Bible recorded that name too with the plural suffix Missrayim as we call us now Misseryin.
@@janusamoun3124 I always wonder if Ptah was ever from “Jupiter” reference? I’m India proper there is my “Gupta” and the word “Gu” seemed at times to refer to a god maybe? Just wondering
@@SomeMan001 how do you know Missir or Misrayim came before Kemet?
@@yonimaor1005I didn't say that. Kemet always refer to agricultural land and Deshert is the desert as we still use two separate words to refer to them, and the whole land and the country name was and still Missr and nations around us called it the same or with little accent change.
I am not responsible of lack of knowledge or twisting informations for colonial and political reasons and it happens so many times.
There are pyramids in Sudan to the south too.
At 29:32, the closest guy (in the black shirt and plaid shorts) eats his booger
Roy has Egyptian history wrong, Ramses II fought the Sea People, not Ramses III. This was when the Kuru destroyed the Yadava in the Kurukshetra war under the Babylonians and changed Sanatan religion with Semitic Hinduism and broke the Indian spine, from which they never recovered. 3200 years the first time the Indians discuss is when Modi was defeated by Mamta who sided with Goddess Durga dumping Ram (Ramses II), ending the landslide of Hindutya.
I wonder... Had Roy lived in ancient Egypt, would he be biased towards the Hixos or some other people that slowly merged (probably not volenterally) into the dominate civilization of the time?
I mean, the Egyptians that he admires so much were essentially "The West" of their time. Would he still be pro-Egyptian, or would he prefer to speak for the less fortunate?
The first was the akkadian
You forgot about the 25th dynasty
❤❤❤
where does moses come in?
The bible
The Egyptians hired people from the south to work on the pyramid projects. They could well have been Jews from Nubia. Some of them stormed the north and even ruled the Egyptians.
So the Jews were from south not north (palasteine)
This audio is HORRIBLE, but great lecture
Egypt actualy comes from the words ''under the aegean''...In Greek its Αιγυπτος...υπτος is under Αιγ is Aegean
Agriculture is more work but is far more productive and more stable than hunting and gathering.
cool
Ramses the 2nd is the pharoah who was associated with moses,os supposed to be associated with him.
glad dude asked about the undefeated general, i had a feeling it was that muslim dude

Alexander the Great was amazing! Show me another proven historical figure that build such a empire, who studied under top philosopher, who made unified urban cities established one global language (hardly to imagine Christianity to spread without Greek being the common language) he founded cities libraries, managed to conquer the Afghanistan. And in end became a God worshiped for centuries, even to the point where Roman emperor paid him respect! Careful what God you anger :D :D :D
