Watching "The Mummy" With An Actual Egyptologist

I have always wanted to collaborate with the amazing, beautiful, BAD. ASS. Dr. Colleen Darnell, so I asked her if she would want to sit down and watch one of my absolute favorite movies, "The Mummy". I have always been super curious how much of the movie was factual, and how much was dramatized for Hollywood, and I finally got my answer! Still the best cheesy action film ever though, hehehehe.

Hey ppsssst, Colleen and John set up their own channel here: ua-cam.com/channels/3PrBNQ3sqbHKXYgZX7aN4Q.html
Go forth and learn aLL THE THINGSSSS!
She's a natural, I would've been surprised and disappointed if she hadn't set up her own channel.
I am so glad Dr. Colleen and her husband are branching into UA-cam, given the viral views your video interview with her has gotten.
When everything with the virus is over with, I would LOVE to see her react to the second movie, especially with all of the flashbacks.
Do another video... With mummy 2 please.... It would be fun....
Hello Miss Maksy... did you know that if you press the Alt key + arrow key(direction chosen) you can turn the screen, that way you don't need to flip the laptop... just an advise there.
Great video, you're really beautiful Miss.
Even her dog is sophisticated.
Indeed hahah
Woof, good sir or madam
I would leave a like, but your comment is at 669 likes, a perfect number
Oh, I thought that was a sphinx she was holding!
He looks fake idk how he can sit so still for so long
Ironically, she looks exactly how movies have trained us to believe female egyptologists look
Not ironic
Coincidentally
A 1920’s cruella deville?
I'd bet she looks that way because of the expectation. And being interested in vintage fashion as she said.
@@dapeach06 It IS ironic. She's telling us that Hollywood inaccurately portrays Egyptian history and archaeology/archaeologists, whilst dressing exactly how Hollywood portrays Egyptologists. Not saying that's a bad thing.
This Egyptologist lady's vibes are absolutely unchained. She could read me the ancient Egyptian equivalent of the phone book and I would be hanging on to her every word.
I would because, hey, I. LOVE. EGYPT! Hanging out with a fellow Egypt geek? Yes, please.
I love Egyptian History and Aztec History They're Both Amazing
When the Egyptologist started translating she made me scream: "YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!"
This comment …. Just this 💕
Lollllll 🤣🤣🤣
Well I guess we can expect an Imhotep alike mummy to suck her flesh out 🤣🤣🤣
Oops, she might just have reanimated Imhotep. Guys, beware a walking and randomly killing zombie-mummy!
@@proserpina4448 yep that's just what we all need right? A lovely cherry on top of this pandemic sundae 😅😜
She's literally what I imagine when they say "egyptologist".
I wanted to be an egyptologist as a kid and her aesthetic is all I wanted. I used to beg my mom for that hair cut
YES
I'm an egyptologist ans I'm pretty normal haha
I can't explain it, but same for me.

My entire world has just been shattered.
There are sinkholes, however.
Im egyptian,live in egypt and I didn't even know that.
Extremely dissapointed....in myself,I really don't know much about the country I've never left.
There has been so many Times where ive threatened (jokingly and not jokingly dont ask) to just take someone on a "trip" and just drown them in quicksand.
Again,don't ask.
@@grim-mu2du go out and create some 😂😂
You... didn't know that?
@@grim-mu2du That would be impossible unless you forcibly held them down head first in the sand :p Quick sand is apparantly very dense, and you can't really drown in it.
Years later and I’m still consistently surprised at how well The Mummy 1999 holds up, they actually dealt more fantastic, authentic costumes, sets, accurate hieroglyphs than the 2017 Tom Cruise version.
there was a 2017 tom cruise version?
@@starmaster191 Yeah there was. But it bombed so hard it might actually killed The Mummy IP’s viability. All thanks to an incompetent director Alex Kurtzman, a control freak Tom Cruise who made the script more about him than the Mummy, and an incoherent plot that tried to follow all the fads and trends at the same time.
The original version with Boris Karloff from 1931 is the best one.
@@MothGirl007 I don't think I could get thru that one. I'm gen Y and about the late 70's (alien, star wars 1977) is the about as oldest movies I can go lol
But for Ahmunet, the 2017 film might as well have been"The Mummy" in name only.
Colleen embracing the 1920’s Agatha Christie chic vibe, loving it and living it.
And the Jules Verne's vibe too.
I can’t handle the amount of sophistication this woman and her dog are giving me

You took the words out of my mind!.. My uncultured ass feeling shifty 😅
The Egyptologist and her husband remind me of that one rich eccentric couple in a murder mystery.
Sometimes they must receive a visit from the Colonel Mustard...
Ah Agatha Christie! Rich couple who have vast collections trope! 🤣
All in favor that Clue is one of the best Board Game series in existence?
They actually had an affair at Yale. It was quite a scandal then. He was a professor and she was an undergraduate turned postgraduate student. Guess they are married now. lol
@@lisarey6842 Yes... not only that he was her direct superior but it was going on for years while he was married to another Egyptologist. So it's not as if Colleen didn't know he was married. I can't stand cheaters. This makes my blood boil.
Colleen and her husband are the dream parents or aunt and uncle of all the kids obsessed with archeology and egypt.
so you havent read the exposed on twitter right

Of course, judging someone by their appearance isn't great, but if a woman dressed like this was anything other than an Egyptologist I would be outraged.
😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rachel Maksy Having consumed this gem of televisual entertainment with my eyeballs, I am now off to a philosophy seminar on why we should NOT go to Mars. What a thought-provoking evening. 😎
But like in anime where the light makes the glasses look dark, then you pan up and it's actually 🤓
I feel like she could also be a detective. But those are the only two options.
Why? What is wrong with you?
Check out her Instagram. She wears some FABULOUS vintage clothes, as does her husband!
"That's a wrap."
I got your pun, Egyptologist lady.
I want to be best friends with Colleen not just because she looks like the villain of the last indiana jones movie but because I want to take her to the mueseums so she can explain all the fun egypt things to me. She is just an absolute delight to listen to, and really sparks that chilhood wonder I used to have but have sense lost as I grew older. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go put on my vintage archeologist outfit and get back to that search for atlantis I started when I was 8 years old.
lmao
This is what it would be like if a Disney princess and her step mother got along
😂😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking that
I laughed out loud on this more than I should. 😂
She literally has the energy of the loving mother, but the look of the evil stepmother
and thats a periodt.
This woman was my art history professor! She is one of the best professors I had in college. Such a fascinating person!
what university does she teach at?
Akh... lucky duck
notroe google says: Colleen Darnell is an American Egyptologist, teaching Egyptian art history at the Naugatuck Valley Community College. You are welcome :)
i'm so jelly right now...XD
she looks like an Indiana Jones villian though
Is no one gunna talk about how absolutely CHILL that dog is!? Narmer isn't just names after a king, he's acting like a king!
I love how she laughs at the scene at 14:56. Dr.Darnell, you're not the only one who loves that moment!!
wow i literally felt like i just got transported into a 20's household where a beautiful professor regals us with stories about Egyptian history and culture
RIGHT
As long as there is no unraveling party afterwards haha
Can we bully Colleen into starting a film review channel? Cuz I want more.
@@rachelmaksy I'm so jealous you got to hanging out with her. And now I must rewatch the mummy tonight
@@purplepsycho05 Just go to a retirement home..
I simply love how sweet the egyptologist is. She gives superior facts without being condescending about her knowledge.
she has class. Salute on her for actually finishing the movie.....not that it was bad, but it must've been very cringy when you know as much as her.
You can definitely tell by the way she talks about the facts and her knowledge of egyptology that she truly loves what she studies. She has such excitement in her voice.
@@johnathonmarquez7676 Thank you! And now John and I have our own channel is you want to explore more Egyptology
Thank you!
@@VintageEgyptologist Definitely gonna check it out. Would genuinely love to meet you in Luxor and just listen to you talk. I am a big archaeology fan.
The 5th canopic Jar is going to be my "did you know he actually broke his toe" mummy moment

@@Rizzalert69 yay! 🤣
This warms my cold dead hobbit heart.😂
It’s so cool how when she’s naming references she just pulls out things from her house like “oh you can see that in this painting we own that we once loaned to a museum” or “if you loom at this published book of an old egyptian text my husband and i translated”. Goals honestly
Also yes watching this in 2021. It’s been a long year
"no quicksand in Egypt....you need moisture"
(looking back at the archaeology movies I've watched) My life is a lie....
But.... It does rain in Egypt. They have violent quick downpours and the Nile is a river. Last time I checked rivers had moisture in them.
@@sometimessnarky1642 Additionally, it is possible to have dry quicksand if the sand is aerated in some way. This is what causes people to die so often in grain silos. I wonder if it isn't entirely 'feasible' (in a manner of speaking) for the magical sand storm to have created exactly the right aeration to produce dry quicksand?
@@sometimessnarky1642 Yes, there is moisture, but it isn't enough to produce quicksand in the way that we imagine it as. Its dry and you can sink in it, but not actually wet enough to be quicksand quicksand.
Clark K I really thought quicksand would be a daily concern when I grew up
Well, there might have been more moisture thousands of years ago so maybe?
I'm actually surprised the movie has readable hieroglyphs that actually mean more or less what they are supposed to say in the script. That's actual dedication from the props department.
Yea I guess we gotta give them some props ;)))
@@JD-el9eo people actually gave a shit back then, the farther back u go the more they cared
in Smallville (random i know) they actually used a alphabet from the comics to say what things were meant to say, and some funny jokes. For example Kal-Els pod said "Made in Taiwan" in the base like most cups say. But yeah, its awesome that in The Mummy they also used actual hieroglyphs, good on them!
@Aspiring Marauder are you for real?
@Aspiring Marauder no i meant one jewish schleimann blows troy up ur using that as justification that nobody cared back then?>
Not only an actual egyptologist but they HAVE MUSEUM PIECES and they write books translating it and they understand the language, i'm amazed. They must be such a company. wow.
*she starts reading the hieroglyphs. Damn, that's impressive.
She is... one of the coolest human beings I have ever seen.
i literally came here to comment this
My friends and I are part of a group who dress in 1920's/30's period attire regularly and one of our members had formed a good relationship with her.
We were all invited to a steamboat Nile river cruise, the cost was $3k per person (Not counting all of the other fees that might have been racked up along the way).
While I would adore such a trip, and the chance to meet Colleen, none of the members in our group had the funds to do so as we all worked minimum wage jobs.
Here's to the future though. We never know what it might just have in store...
Agreed!
Yeah, the razor laptop looks lite as hell. The graphics are pretty superb too.
I said that exact same thing 15 seconds into this video
The dog on her lap is literally the calmest dog I have ever seen.
I legit forgot about the dog!!!🤣
I thought it was stuffed at first lol
Besenjis are VERY calm dogs by nature. Stoic and good around children who are hyperactive.
Me too! He was so still and with such excellent posture I thought it was a fake dog or something lol 😂!
plottwist : it's mummified
I would listen to 3 hours of Colleen talking about Egypt history and facts and wont even regret it.
or for a whole day! :oD
My grandmother said when I was at school that Cleopatra came from Ipswich
First, she wasn't the one who said that in the documentary. Second, as explained in her insta, she was not consulted with the reenactment and not responsible for the production, probably wasn't informed about other things than the portion she participated which possibly filmed before the reenactment scenes. Netflix and the production company did her dirty.
Nah, Cleopatra are from Manchester
She needs a UA-cam Channel with her husband where they talk about Egyptian facts, and history and so on. I would watch everything they upload!!
Evelyn Gottig Before you all start worshipping her, you should know that she has caused a lot of controversies at Yale. Her knowledge is amazing and cool, but there’s no need to idolize the person.. read the link or google her name and read the news articles dating back to 2013 citing her and her husband’s “psychologically damaging behavior toward students and professors in the department in recent years, such as threatening to revoke funding for individual academic projects”
yaledailynews.com/blog/2013/01/23/nelc-work-environment-criticized/
@@lifafy4614 I wouldn't necessarily say this comment is on the boundary of worshipping her, just that the ability and knowledge of this individual is exceptional. I too would find interest in a channel if they had one, but not because I idolize them as people or am ignoring the possible harm they might have caused in their industrty/community but because I admire their ability to provide me with a education for an interesting topic.
@@lifafy4614 There's always controversy in academia, it doesn't make her less knowledgeable. Universities always have a problem with more flamboyant personalities, they like their sh*t as vanilla as possible. My bet is, some of these nimwits made nasty comments to her about her relationship with him and she told them to back off. Vendetta style, of course.
Yaaaasssss!
Me too!!! :)
That woman is the personification of glamour, she looks like the villain of an Agatha Christie novel and I can't stop looking at her hair, flawless
Oh my... I thought of Agatha Christie as well. This woman would perfectly fit in 'murder in mesopotamia' as well as 'Evil under the sun' and some others!
I thought she is Marilyn Manson's sister.

Oh man, I thought I’d stumbled into an F Scott Fitzgerald movie…
such a cool setting and an impeccably dressed and coiffed guest. I felt embarrassingly underdressed watching it. Bravo.
"These were not stolen from a museum"
"suure"
i love that.
I wish more people 100% committed to cosplaying their profession.
I get the impression that being an egyptologist is a lifestyle choice
Well unless it turns a steady income, like with any self-consciously embarrassing minimum wage job, I don't see the incentive in admitting your occupation has progressed no further than the hobby level.
Now if you had achieved a certain level of industry fame or social media influence along with lucrative sponsorships, by all means improve the public conception of professional cosplayers by telling everyone.
This is an "indoors" outfit or an outfit you would wear for semi formal events or presentations. In-field dress is a total 180 degree change. You start with several layers, eat lunch with 1 layer, and go to dinner with several layers. Night clothes will be several layers as well. It can actually get really cold at night on the Eastern/Northeastern coast of Africa of a night. You often wake up to frost.
bold of you to assume my pajama pants and baggy t-shirt are not Editor Cosplay
As an English Major, I await the day I become an English teacher and dress as eccentrically as possible 😂
I love how she is breaking it down, but also not being a dick. She knows its a movie and not reality. So many experts break down fantasy movies as if they are real and its so frustrating. She is at least having fun with it.
Oh yeah, for sure. It can be super obnoxious when people do that just because they're an expert on the subject, but she was really nice and not "I'm angry because this is wrong" about it.
Yeah fr sometimes they make it seem like they are bragging a little when they mention a lot about their jobs and real life against a straight up unrealistic movie like “kaLM dOwN 🤚🏾”
@@Winkiefacedd truth
Yeah they just rip the writers apart instead of just saying what would’ve been more accurate
I'd like to hear what people from Egypt think of The Mummy instead. I'd be offended of my history being misrepresented and stereotyped
She is the loving embodiment that you can be a nerd, yet SLAY that fashion and vibe.
There's probably no point in asking given how many inaccuracies Dr Darnell pointed out, but it would be awesome if you guys did this again for The Mummy Returns. Even just for the sake of another collab 😍
*She looks like how I imagine an “Egyptologist” to look like.*
Edit: woah I’ve never gotten this many likes before but, deadass she looks amazing. Like, fashion goals.
Totally! She’s beautiful and reminds me of the character Cate Blanchett plays in Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! (Except not a crazy Russian lady) 😅
I like that you wrote "Egyptologist" and not Egyptologist
I know she looks really phony.
Which lady was that Russian one in Indiana Jones? Remember her? Lol.
Exactly! I adore her fashion choices AND her personality!
I know that wasn't exactly the point of your comment, but she's all around radiant and really seems like a fun person to be around! 😅

Absolutely love your channel!! I was keen on Egyptology after watching The Mummy when I was younger, and it was so cool seeing it from the perspective of an Egyptologist :)
First off, LOVE your channel, been binging for quite some time while entering data. You've been one of the main influences on my journey to vintage fashion. So thank you very, very much.
I'm a professional entomologist (I study our little 6-legged friends, the 'bugs') and I LOVE THIS MOVIE, one of my absolute favs of all time. BUT my gosh, poor scarabs. Such a bad example of our lovely little buds. Scarab's don't fly well, don't crawl fast, and do not eat living flesh (there are some exceptions to the rules, as with all things/beings, but you never get the trio or even two together haha). I keep the cuties as pets and take them to outreach events all the time. Unless you are dead and half decayed or something with a very very thin epidermal layer, aka skin (and absolutely tiny) like a small frog, you have NOTHING to fear from a scarab. Most... ok mostly all, are cute little dung eaters that help to clear waste we'd prefer not to step on. PS most of their cute little mouths don't even have the capability to bite if they'd like.
Again, love the channel, you helped me a lot throughout the pandemic. You ever want some help on insect related things, just contact your local beetle gal.

As FtM, i felt this comment personally xD though, i only use binders, not bras
I have not even watched this yet and I’m so excited too, but I think this is the best video title ever seen in my life. Thank you.
Right! I've never clicked on something so fast 😂😁
Garrett Watts. Whoa funny seeing you here. I love your videos.
Just finished! Incredible. I really love how it wasn’t all sass and hating on anything... it was so much more of sweet stuff like complementing when it was accurate and appreciating it while respectfully calling out the silly stuff. 12/10 video!
Omg no way so excited
Oh my... one of my favorite youtubers watching one of my favorite videos here, love it.
ok but I NEED y'all to do a second one of these
I love 1920s and 1950s fashion and been in love with Egyptology since I saw my first mummy at 7 (I'm now 30) and the dog is so adorable, so I'm in total love with this video! :)
She looks like she should be speaking in a Russian accent and looking for the crystal skull
Think this Is the most funny comment Ive seen
She does look like Irina lmao
“I want to know everything”
I'm Russian and when I first time saw her I thought that she really looks like Russian (except for her hair)
Omg that indiana jones movie!!!!!
Why is this so fitting??!!😂😂
Imagine being fluent in a dead language that we don't know the real accurate way of pronouncing it. So much respect for the dedication oh my gosh.
I know I was like oh wow that Awesome
As a person who knows Sanskrit, I thank you. No one really appreciates linguists ❤️
Imagine shes dissing and we cant understand
She is preparing for an Indiana Jones new movie.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU💕💕 (from a student of Ancient Greek and Latin)
She does my childhood dream job.
Love the basenji… my nephew has one just like him! Fantastic pups!
Everything about this video is making me happy!
I love how she calls her husband to help with deciphering, thank you for this unique take on reaction videos. Also, nice bob cut and a bow tie.
She looks like a Indiana Jones villain. Especially with the bob and dog 🐕
I mean this in a badass way.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS DRESSED AS THAT RUSSIAN LADY FROM THE 4TH MOVIE
Irina Spalko
I thought her look seemed familiar!!
That's what i'm thinking
the one portrayed by Cate Blanchett? haha
She can read hieroglyphs as if she were reading a book.... How freak'n cool is that?!
It's her job. I *expect* her to read hieroglyphs as if she were reading a book.
@@RonJohn63 But how many people in the world are trained to read hieroglyphs as if they were reading a book? Only 5,000 to 10,000 in the world. It seems impressive, but compared to the world's current population, that's less than one percent. Small enough to still be impressive!
@@chibilaichi Not a great many people read hieroglyphs. But the chances of finding one who does in a video like this is much higher.
damn y'all are killjoys
We need a spray for joy killers and I'd spray it here *psss* *pssss*
Love to see this movie chat with their smiles, thanks!
This was FANTASTIC and SO INTERESTING!!! THANK YOU! Wonderful content!
It should be illegal to be this fabulous.
Even her dog
That’s exactly the first thing I thought 2 min into the video.
RIGHT?! lol
Facts
It might be, someone check the books
*She looks like a villain from Indiana Jones movie.*
I was thinking about that too 🤣
x3
Cate Blanchett in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 💀
I’m here for that. Call Hollywood.
OMG YES
I realize this video is over 2 yrs old but I've only recently found Rachel's channel and have been watching old videos. Anyway... I've actually been to Egypt and what I love telling people is that you think the pyramids of Giza are out in the middle of nowhere... But they aren't. There's like a highway... On one side is desert and the pyramids... On the other is apartment complexes.
This is definitely one of my fav videos of yours!! I would love to see another collab with you n Colleen in the future if possible 🥺
She looks like a movie character, she's so beautiful.
Ikr
EDNA from The Incredibles
@@ceasarsalad2055 LOL 😂🤣
She looks like the bad militar lady from Indiana Jones and the crystal skull idk how it's called
@@elisavillar1146 yes thank you I was searching in comment section that anybody knows this Or not.
This video gives off “Rachel is a little girl that really adores her cool aunt who’s super intelligent and has traveled the world and Rachel just loves to learn from her and hear about her countless adventures” vibes.
I wish Dr. Darnell was my aunt. She's cool AF.
Totally and I can't blame her :D
someone should make a movie about this with them starring as themselves
Ooooh, I was actually a student of Professor Smith, who was the archaeologist who consulted on the movie. He did The Mummy and Stargate. There are several hidden inside archaeologist jokes in both movies. You have to both be able to understand middle/late heiroglyphics/heiratic and look very closely.
