- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- John and Colleen Darnell read and discuss portions of the Book of Adoring Re in the West, commonly called the Litany of Re. To learn more about the Netherworld Books, you can read our translation volume: The Ancient Egyptian Netherworld Books (Atlanta: SBL Press, 2018). If you want to start learning hieroglyphs, we have an Instagram account: / howtoreadhieroglyphs , and we recommend Mark Collier and Bill Manley, How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Berkeley, 1998) as a beginner's guide.

i desperately need you guys to play Assassin's Creed: Origins
OMG i was gonna propose the same 🤣
Would love for them to fact check EVERYTHING in the game or just read some heiroglyphs off the walls.!
still waiting 🤣
yes!
After watching Colleen Darnell watching "the mummy" I am here...
I'll have to say John you lucky dog 😉 she is beautiful, smart and a keeper. ..love from India 2 both of you ..
Well, I stumbled into *that* part of the internet again.
I think I'll just stay here, I don't want to go back.
Who hasn't been in love with Egypt and all its mysteries? I love these series. This couple is so knowledgeable! And lovely style! All the best, from Spain x
Literally watching the lost treasures of Egypt brought me back to life through this Pandemic. Literally always loved Egyptian history and I love this couple. Most interesting people. I mean i imagine conversing with them both and being in total awe!
I'm halfway through my undergrad, studying Egyptology. Watching these videos as a refresher on my first year hieroglyphs! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the depth of the content. Not everyone wants another dumbed down National Geographic special on King Tut
I just found this channel! As a kid, I really used to love Egypt and ancient history and similar things!
You guys are amazing! Love your videos!
New subscriber!
Welcome aboard!
you are fabulous
I just want to say I love you two and your absolutely precious. I love how you both love to dress in authentic vintage clothes and are experts in the same subject matter. It just amazing like you were made for each other.
Thank you so much!!
Well done, as always. Both educational and well-produced!
So much stylishness in just one video. Everything is so perfect!
I wish both of you were my History Class's teachers.. I would get an AA in my class back then.
I love it. Keep up your good work!
I love your work and your passion. I must be honest; at times, you speak in such a scholastic and academic manner that I am unable to keep up, specifically in reference to Ancient Egyptian history without having previously covered it in another video.
Of course, that's my own ignorance causing the problem, but I say this to contrast with other aspects of the video. I became enthralled in you two after you seemed to settle into comfy areas, as you started explaining and describing things in a much simpler way that encapsulated everything necessary to understand what you were speaking of.
I understand that you're targeting a specific audience, but I thought I would give my perspective, as I am fascinated with ancient languages and Ancient Egypt. I loved when you delved into the writings, the language, and what the language and writings contained.
All in all, I'm enjoying seeing your works, as well as your channel growing. You have quite the opportunity in your hands, and I can see you will nurture it to its fullest potential. Looking forward to seeing more.
Another fascinating video - thank you so much! My partner kindly gave me your Netherworld Books for my birthday, so tonight I settle down to immerse myself in the Amduat.
11:00 oh, trust me, every cat owner understands the connection. cats are the very definition of judgmental 😂
(Cat owner...? I felt owned by my cat...) terriblement judgmental 😂🐾... truly believe that 🐾🍀🌻
Yes!!! I love this! Why did religions have to change! Herodotus wrote about the annual celebration of Bastet which had near a million coming to attend. Cats kill vermin. Vermin transmit disease.🐾
You guys are the most adorable couple. Love your outfits and history stories.
I just love this videos.
She looks so excited and happy to share information, so much passion in her eyes. And he is there, looking how much she shines and smiles and shares information that he loves too. So happy.
This is amazing, you are the perfect description of balance just as you told in this video.
Thank you so much for this, I'm really looking forward to see more content like this. Yo are absolutely a goal!
This is great stuff! As a fellow vintage lover with a passion for Egyptian history and religion, I just can't wait to see more.
The information in this (and other videos by this fascinating, elegant couple) is interesting enough in and of itself. But to get it from these two is the real treat. Their knowledge, passion, and style is the icing on the cake. This couple is from another era, it’s their world and we’re lucky to live in it. See you on the SS Sudan!
I always loved the introduction. Its so vintage and beautiful.
Thank you, Doctors Darnell. A most informative and educational video, as always. My favorite aspect of your channel is the enthusiasm and love for the material that you so kindly share with us. My best to you and yours.
Looking forward to your next.
So nice of you
11:39 You are so right, making such imagery available to the public is a great thing.
Knowledge is for spreading, not hoarding. Kind of like the beautiful thing you do with this channel.
Sorry if my english is not great, is my second language 😅
Saludos de México 🇲🇽
Edit: added the timestamp.
Your English is perfect.
@@halfwen4575 Thank you, how kind 😊
@@Sonrisaanimada It really is excellent, mi gente. We all learn more together, all over the world.
Wow, this language is so interesting!! The way they can use determinates as opposed to a purely phonetic system is fascinating and adds so much depth to their language and art! amazing!!
Thank you for your videos. I always love Egyptology as a bit of a 'holiday' from my own discipline of Victorian history. Sometimes it is just great to learn something completely new.
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you!
This is such a welcome break from Karmageddon...dramageddon...whatever they're calling it right now.
Slowpocalypse is the one I'm using.
carmageddon
I've the Egyptian book of the dead, yet lots more progress has been made since then 👍 Your husband has a haircut like the man in the German band, AndOne.
Now i must dig out my book out of boxes in the basement or order another! The "joys" of moving houses😬
Yet the enthusiasm of the Professors is catchy and I've always loved the subject! Glad to hear pronunciation as that is what i lack, no matter the language.
Those are two different events. Karmageddon is the vlog squad. Dramageddon is the beauty community
You two are very interesting, I could listen and learn from you for hours on end! I would love to look thru your library it seems to be an amazing collection.
Hi John and Colleen, thank you for this video. Really appreciate it. Its not easy to find extremely good preference for ancient Egypt. If you guys have the time, could you talk more about Egypt mythology?
New subscriber from the Middle East. Please keep going. You offer unique and different work. Wait for your new videos. Sorry for my english👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞
Thank you! We have some more videos in the works!
Love your work hope to see more
could you do a video on your experiences on site, like at the excavation or reading symbols first hand
I have some IGTV videos like that - you can find them @vintage_egyptologist on Instagram.
@@VintageEgyptologist aww, I really don't want an Instagram (Facebook) account so missing out it is :
@@VintageEgyptologist Did you know felines react to the sounnd of meteorites in space? Out of many various sounds, they recognize this.
*Really* fascinating, especially the kind of intertextuality between even utilitarian hieroglyphs and the literal visual imagery that could be depicted somewhere else. Really makes me wonder what layers of implications are still waiting to be discovered.
It amuses me that the Egyptians had already used signifiers thousands of years before we felt the need to invent, or re-invent, Emojis to show emotions behind the text.
Very cute vintage egyptologists! 🍀🌻Thank you very much for this extraordinary project! 😊
Thank you! It was a lot of work!
@@VintageEgyptologist Your hard work shows. These are so well done and so greatly appreciated.
Love learning cool new stuff during this time. Gonna go to college for anthropology but since everything going on that won’t be happening soon. Love the vintage theme so fun. History Egypt is something I’ve Always been interested about so thank you for these videos
It is great to know that you get to explore your interests through out videos, and we hope you get to pursue your anthropology degree soon.
Hello! Me and my boyfriend are visiting Egypt in these days and today the Valley of the Kings. Thank you so much for sharing these accurate information! It would be unreachable otherwise for non-Egyptologists like us. Really hope you will follow with the Litany of Ra, it’s so interesting!
Fabulous.... shame about the adverts 🙁 bloomin’ UA-cam sticking ads (with annoying frequency) in the middle of films with absolutely no regard for the contents. Stop it UA-cam
Thank you! Much more videos plz
I totally love this channel! You are amazing! I would love a house tour video if possible !!!
Hey you guys are awesome ❤ I love your vids, there is always something new to learn
Thanks for watching!
Vintage Egyptologist who’s your favorite Egyptian god? Mines sobek or Thoth
@@VintageEgyptologist Sekhmet Bastet
@@VintageEgyptologistHi guys, great Vid. Who is the Author of the book/ Litany of Re you're reading from please?
The wonderful John and Colleen
Thank you!
I love this channel!! Even more so now that the audio quality is much better and I can better appreciate the lesson
Yay! Thank you! We used a podcast microphone this time. We feel like working on audio for these videos was like the transition to sound scenes in "Singing in the Rain"!
@@VintageEgyptologist This is awesome, especially to learn in these times of Covid19.
Thank you for your videos, Professors' as you compliment eachother with your gift of teaching!
I really adore how you explain those things. Excited to learn more!
You're a unique person I love you're style. Sure we would be good friends I live Egyptian history art culture too. And all the vintage stuff. Definitely subscribed 🙂
just found my new favorite channel!
Thank you!
Fantastic stuff. John, you are the spit of Higgins from Magnum PI !
Great video as always. And I’m always up for a “jubilating baboon”!
I adore your channel! I love how you both are so knowledgeable and at the same time, dressed absolutely fabulous. Your dress is stunning! Can’t wait for the next conversation! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your passion and knowledge!!! This was so lovely to watch and listen to while having a cup of tea and doing some needlework. Hope you both are doing well.
How amazing is this video! I can't stop myself watching your videos over and over again like forever. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Please keep making more videos!! It is so interesting to watch!!! 😍
This is great! Could you make a video about how the gods were worshiped? Especially the little known ones like Sebek?
You work so beautifully together....Great lecture. You look fabulous and many thanks for making your lectures available to the public . 👏🙏😍
Thank you again for such an illuminated vlog. It got me thinking about other aspects of Re, aspects for political reasons splintered off and became a god such as Aten aka Aten Re. And how pharaohs would identify with a particular god. For example, Cleopatra VII identified as the personification of Isis.
On a non-Egyptian matter, your home is gorgeous. Books everywhere. Hope you and Narmer are safe and healthy.
Thank you for your expertise “c’est fantastique”, and very well spoken and explained. Today I learned more about the Litany’s History and interpretation. I can’t wait to hear about Benebdjedet. Great work!
Thank you for your lovely comment! We think your videos are great!
Vintage Egyptologist so kind of you to say! 🤗
Considering current events, a balanced perpetual cycle sounds good to me. I like the ancient Egyptians focus on balance. Very interesting! I have to really use my brain and pay attention, which is a good thing!
That’s so true what you said in the beginning too because it’s something that I have had questions on in reference to the scrolls found in the necropolis... they must have been also used by priests for those who are alive too, like amulet spells/encantations, hymns, ect i would assume that the “books of the netherworld” were, at least in part, based upon actual workings and instructions also used in one way shape form or another in other areas of the regular temple including magical workings done on statues and on people. It’s a very interesting topic because normally we just hear that they were funerary practices and it gives this impression that the Ancient Egyptians didn’t have a religion and thought process beyond death.
The Darnells have a biography of "Thutmose III" on the table but refer to the king as "Tutmose III". Well done VEs! The god being invoked in the name, of course, is Dhwty. Greek scholars don't seem to have been able to pronounce that, so transliterate it to Toth, hence the nomen Tutmose or Tuthmose. Sir Alan Gardiner states in his great work on Egyptian Grammar that he follows the latter form used by the Egyptian scholar Manetho, and so apparently do the Darnells...and so do I. Love your work. Rowan.
I just love U guys, so mucho style, so much knowledge.
Wonderful information and depth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
This is fascinating!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
This is so entertaining! Thank you so much for making such informational and enjoyable content!
dream team
How did they find each other?! I have so many questions. Also I love that these two are married. I wonder where they keep the time machine.
Just found your channel. Really like the videos! Combination of information and vibe is great. Very refreshing.
Welcome aboard!
Amazing content!! I can’t wait for more!!
More to come!
You know a person is interesting when you can get tired of hear them.
You are like that. I love history but you could be talking about how the water taste and I would still watch
Btw I need to watch your videos several times because there are so much information and I love it!!!!!! Thank you guys!
Thank you so much for your lovely compliment!
Loving this!
Love the video!! Very informative. Thank you
Utterly fascinating
They're baaaaack. Rad!
I'd be interested to know what tourism was like for outsiders visiting ancient Egypt. Like if I got into a time machine and popped up in ancient times, assuming I could communicate with them, would I immediately be arrested or could I visit the gift shop or what? Maybe I'd come out better disguising myself as lord Beerus.
To be honest. I think your channel will help me a lot in future tests in my egyptology class.
Happy to help!
Would you be able to make a video about ancient Egyptian clothing and accessories, and maybe how they viewed clothing, nudity, modesty?
The clothing and accessories are spectacular. I would love to learn more about that as well.
Great video! I wonder if there is another historical or contemporary "natural" language capable of conveying so many layers of information in writing! (It's fascinating! It really reminds me of how in computer programming variables can have types much like the determinative here.) On an unrelated note, I wonder how a solar eclipse would have been received/explained in such a sun centered culture, and whether an event like this was documented. Thanks again!
Thanks!
I very much enjoy your content 💟 very fascinating.
love this videos! the first time I saw you guys I was fascinated by your aesthetics and energy, I do not know if you would be willing but I would love to see videos (from time to time) a little more personal, for example ... I have this fantasy in my head that you guys met while working on some project in Egypt ... a movie scene that you would definitely see. Also ... I imagine your dog's names have an interesting story behind them, I'd also like a quick tour of some of the pieces in tour personal collection .... oh! so many things! 🖤
Could you do a video on evolution of the mummy sarcophagus through ancient Egypt I'm also wondering is there a similar civilization to the egyptian civilization I love ancient Egypt and I enjoy your videos I'm virtual touring and i went to egypt three times also I want to become a archeologist
I LOVE YOUR ACENT AND ELEGANCE IM A NEW SUBSCRIBER
You guys are so cute. I love all the videos. Plus I learned something too.
This is amazing. Thank you.
ohmygOD THE PATTERN on this DRESS??? i love ugh a fashion icon
Thank you! 1930s fabrics are amazing!
@@VintageEgyptologist ITS GENUINE VINTAGE??? i melt
@@VintageEgyptologist Thank you for showing us the back as well. Just so beautiful, you and the dress!
Yay more ancient Egypt!
Thanks!
How long did it take you to learn hieroglyphs? Also I'm trying to teacher myself to understand hieroglyphs and some tips.
May I ask during this quarantine I've beem studying/researching on egyptian gods since I have alot of free time on my hand. What is the god P'tah symbol and the same with her wife Sekhmet symbol? Do you have some illustration may you include it in the next video and if you already have shared it here in your youtube channel can you give me the link cause I just found out your channel like just know it just appeared in my recommended videos and Im LIVING FOR THE EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND OF EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ANCIENT EGYPT AS OF NOOOOW🥰 P.S. Im going to bing watch your videos till I fall asleep 😁😁😁
I love your house!
I feel like this would be what a smart people party must be like, oh i wanna come!!

I knew there was a reason I really love scarab iconography... it makes for a nice subtle representation of my gender transition other than the popular Phoenix or butterfly. :D
I really love you guys.... glad I found this channel. Subscribed immediately :-) I love ancient Egypt and hopefully next year I can go back and shoot some video’s for my documentary I want to make for those who still need to be tickled on ancient Egypt in my own language. Do you know what book I can buy that portrays the entire history on Akhenaten ? He is still my favorite pharaoh, next to Ramses II
Egyptology question now. Why are there so few documentaries out there on the strange sexually charged Egyptian mythology. I'm not being weird or perverted, I'm genuinely interested. I've seen the one on the Egyptian errotic scroll, but they spoke very little about Hathor, Min and Qetesh?
Hello, I love your videos. I wanna learn about ancient egyptian language and mythology. Could you recomend me some literature to learn more about it?
You all are da bombz
14:30 Ancient Egyptians had Schrodinger's paradox!
I love you videos.
I enjoyed that. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Could you please talk about cosmetics in ancient Egypt ? It is my main academic path but I don't know much about the historical aspect of it and I feel like it could be really interesting if there happen to be traces of such usage in ancient scriptures.
A video about cosmetics in ancient Egypt is coming in August!
@@VintageEgyptologist I am beyond excited! Thank you so much!
Charming!
Does the great cat slaying Apep with a knife also signify its divinity? As in it’s using a human tool for killing as opposed to its animal ‘weapons’. Showing that it is ‘higher’ or ‘more evolved’ than just a normal cat?
That's a great question, but the knife really does seem to be for its hieroglyphic use rather than indicating the cat's divinity.
So interesting. I'm curious what kind of dogs you have? Do they have a relationship with Egypt?
They are basenjis, and that breed does go back to ancient Egypt! If you scroll through our IG @vintage_egyptologist, you can find more details (and in the future we will do a video about them!)
A question: Were the Hyksos evicted from Egypt before, during or after the Thera eruption?
Colleen, I just wanted to ask, is there an extended cut? 🌚
