To put how old ancient Egypt was in perspective, I like to point out that Cleopatra lived closer to present day than when the pyramids were built. I don’t know the exact dates but the pyramids were built 4,500 years ago and Cleopatra lived just over 2,000 years ago
the crazy thing about Ancient Egypt for me was how long it was?? There were guys in like 1980 BCE studying their own civilisation and thinking hmmm this was so long ago!! My mind is astounded about that.
I'm a high school student (Sophomore). I hate to admit it and probably every other kid does but these videos are actually kind of cool. Thanks for an educational yet fun way of learning history and taking notes
Fascinating! If we look at Egypt, it seems the key to longevity of a civilization is mainly to do with isolation (not engaging in wars) and also preservation of own culture.
I agree. Egypt was hard to attack because the Sahara made it hard to flank. While Egypt had plenty of Military campaign they seemed content to control the trade routes from Nubia, Libya to the Levant.
+Ocduffy I don't think that he was trying to say fish live in water. I believe he meant that they can fly, and are made entirely of metal. The aliens living in antarctica are training them in every type of martial arts known to both their kind and mankind, then will unleash their evil flying cyborg fish army. At least that is what I think he is trying to say.
Your awesome nerdiness has reached my daughters 6th grade science class. The class watched your Persian and Greek episode to learn about all the craziness and smarty , smart things. My daughter was totally surprised to find out that I am a nerdfighter and that you have a brother " Good morning Hank !" that is just as smart as you. Thanks , John for teaching my daughter that history and science is fun and very important. AWESOME!!
Hi John. I'm taking my AP World History test in two days, so I have decided to watch this whole series in one night. A whopping seven hours. I just wanted to let you know, if these videos aren't helpful and cause me to fail my exam and lose all possible hope of going to college, I'm holding you personally responsible. Thanks! P.S, Great videos, short and sweet and not too boring :D
+Astropony Blast01 advanced placement test... its a college course that high schoolers take. In this case, everyone is taking the Advanced Placement World History exam...
just wanted to say that this series has been a very convenient access to a discipline very far from what i'm used to (my background is environmental science and engineering). thanks very much for all the effort in producing something insightful, down-to-earth, and pretty hilarious at times. there's so much wisdom in studying the past, in cultures far from our own, through lenses fundamentally different from what we use. i think it's so important for envisioning and building the future. kind of puts everything in persepective for us ignorant moderns. cheers!
History teacher... you've seen the worst of the worst in historical education: "And now, dear pupils I will terrorize you with the oppression of dates."
Anybody else bothered that he keeps (e.g. @6:37) saying "down river" to mean "south", which of course is actually up the river, so much so that we talk about the two pre-unification egyptian kingdoms as Upper Egypt (south) and Lower Egypt (north)?
John Green, Thank you so much for this video! I was too lazy to study for a history test on early civilizations so I just watched your videos and I got 100%! Thanks so much!
I've used several of your videos for my classes in China. You're fun and engaging and the fact you have actual subtitles with your videos (even Chinese!) is awesome.
Bear in the Woods Ya, it's interesting stuff presented in a fun, entertaining way. Sorta like John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, but for history I guess.
***** If you're interested in the far out stuff (such as The Fermi Paradox, which asks why we haven't found aliens yet), the youtube channel Kurzgesagt has some great shorter animated videos.
Bear in the Woods I watched episode 3 of this because we had a quiz on the Fertile crescent the next day, now here I am a week later really interested about history.
Hahahahaha no lie... AC has had me craving more history! Would love a AC with game play centered around Alexander the Great and his conquest! Or even The Mongols
am i the only person here from the outtakes when he goes “Hello I’m John Green and this is champahne in a plastic cup and today we’re going to talk about Egypt. Pardon me I’m drunk.”
He wasn't "robbed," well he was, but not the way that we view robbing. He never actually ruled. He was manipulated into hating his father and really the rest of his family. Which, is actually sad, for as far as "fatherly love" goes, there are relief statues that seem to show him and his siblings playing with Akhenaten and his beloved chief wife. He's famous just because his grave managed to survive being pillaged. Otherwise, he'd have probably gone into obscurity for the most part.

I adored learning about ancient civilizations in my college history class, and crash course has helped me remember a lot of the details id forgotten. thanks guys!
Who else is here because they are delving into humanity's deep psyche by acquainting with ancient mythology, old civilizations, and sacred texts as a hobby next to their mostly un-related University studies in natural science?
My favorite way of thinking about the age and longevity of Ancient Egypt is to remember that the pyramids were as old to the Romans when they conquered Egypt as the Romans are to us today. Not sure if that gets covered in a later video or not.
true! it's weird but Cleopatra (the famous one) lived closer in time to the first Burger King than she did to the pyramids! That's how long Egyptian civilisation lasted!
During his conquests, Alexander the Great specifically detoured to Giza because he wanted "to see those ancient wonders." The pyramids: a tourist attraction since at least 500 BCE. Yikes that's old.
*John:* You may recognize the eye of Horus is right behind me, staring at me and judging me... I can feel - *I CAN FEEL YOUR JUDGMENT!* *Eye of Horus:* Hehehe I am judging you! >:D
Egypt: 1. Built pyramids. 2. The same old Divine King. 3. Social order of high and low, because well, the pyramids required hard work! 4. Had female ruler as early as Middle Kingdom. Interesting.
arghhh thank god for all of these videos. Idk why but I'm a crazy learner, I wanted to study everything ranging from science to arts to history to everything! This is why I have a hard time of choosing my degree because of my vast interest !
Not surprised to see people using these videos to help review for their AP test. This is a pretty good resource as it's concise and also pretty entertaining.
Don't know if you know this, but there was a pharaoh's tomb even more complete than Tut's, but it never became famous and was forgotten due to when it was discovered: WW2. It even had a silver, not gold, coffin, which is curious because gold was more common than silver in Ancient Egypt, and because gold represented skin whereas silver represented bones. So, dunno why he had a bones-coffin, but meh.
"What If in the middle of Egyptian history... there were hobbits." I can imagine it. 'In a tomb made of stone. Not a nasty, dirty, dank tomb, filled with spiders and oozing smells. This was a pyramid, and that means good food, lots of gold, and all the comforts of home.' (DFTBA)
I came to the comments to see if anyone else found that strange. I thought the pyramids were already built and Moses and the Israelites existed in the 13th or 14th century. Somebody explain!
I honestly haven't really liked history ever but when I actually sat down and listened to this video- it all made sense and made my homework way less of a headache :)

I'm a hardcore Egyptologist so here: Archaic (Dynasties I-II, 3100-2860 BCE) Old Kingdom (Dynasties III-VI, 2860-2140 BCE) First Intermediate Period (Dynasties VII-X, 2140-2040 BCE) Middle Kingdom (Dynasties XI-XIV, 2040-1750 BCE) Second Intermediate Period (Dynasties XV-XVII, 1750-1550 BCE) New Kingdom (Dynasties XVIII-XXII, 1550-1070 BCE) Third Intermediate Period (Dynasties XXIII-XXV, 1070-710 BCE) Late Period (Dynasties XXVI-XXXI, 710-323 BCE) Greco-Roman Period (Dynasties XXXII-XXXIII, 323-30 BCE)
I have only just discovered this channel today, so bare with me. Is this the brother of Hank from Scishow? Same last name and they look and sound very similar.
I know this is 4 years late, but if I am going to be "that person" and offer corrections anyways; there are actually 5 stages of the Egyptian language. Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian (the classic literary language even in later dynasties, similar to our use of latin today), Late Egyptian, Demotic, then Coptic (still in use by the Coptic Church). Hieratic is a sort of cursive script that was used for Middle Egyptian and refashioned along with the hieroglyphs for Late Egyptian, and Demotic developed as a similarly cursive script (my professor described it as "hieratic gone wild", as it developed from hieratic kindof). Demotic wasn't developed until the New Kingdom- they only had Old Egyptian in the time of the pyramid texts. Also, the Pharaoh was not a god solely after they died- they were also seen as Horus on earth, Horus and/or other gods incarnate, the son of Ra and/or other deities, etc., which is why they had multiple "stage names", if you will- the most important of these of course being the Horus Name.
I love this concise outline of world history. There is no evidence that the pyramids of the Nile valley were constructed by the Pharaonic culture. The pyramids must have existed already way before the rise of this civilization. No graves of pharoahs have been found in the pyramids. It is difficult to date organic material such as stone, but signs of water erosion on the Sphynx, for example, would suggest its existence in antedeluvian times (prior to the last glacial period). Megalithic structures such as the pyramids, the ruins at Tiahuanaco in the Bolivian Highlands, Teotihuacan in Mexico are anomalies. It was common in antiquity for subsequent cultures to bury their dead in or near pre-existing structures which they considered holy. The abundance of unexplained megalithic sites suggests an ancient global civilization which must have existed prior to 17 000 B.P. (before present). Such sites have even been found well under the current sea level all around the globe. Unfortunately, such data has not made it into our history books (I call them propaganda books) as it would mean revising our entire timeline. Keep up the good work.
I do think The Pyramids are older than are said but not for the same reasons you think so. I think the truth is being Hidden because that would disprove the Quran. The Quran also says the earth is 6,000 years old and Islam is the dominant religion of Egypt and Sudan. PS. there are More Pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt.
I'm not atheist. I merely don't subscribe to any christian, pseudo-crhistian, judaic, nor islamic dogmas or anything fabricated by the aberrated mind of homo-sapiens, who isn't sapient at all. I am spiritiual as I know what and who I am, and what I am not, but not religious. And lastly, I don't preach anything to people in an attempt to influence their thinking.
Jean-Pierre Delorraine "or anything fabricated" Well as you don't like or understand the reality of academic research, then clearly you do subscribe to fabricated pseudo Bull Shit. PS Don't forget to cite what food stuffs they were eating 17k yrs ago to build on this scale :)
Jean-Pierre Delorraine i agree with you! people think that everyone was as dumb as we are now, and our egos cant accept that maybe there have been civilizations that have been smarter than us.... i accept nothing i am taught, that would make me a poor copy

I have only just discovered this channel today, so bare with me. Is this the brother of Hank from Scishow? Same last name and they look and sound very similar.
Yes, indeed :)
they have a channel together called vlogbrothers it is very good
Yeah, same here. I already knew most of what he talks about, but I love History.
And this channel is both of theirs, John Green doing the history stuff and Hank doing the Sciencey stuff
I learned all I needed about Egypt from Yu-Gi-Oh. All debates were settled with ancient card games.
I know this is 4 years late, but if I am going to be "that person" and offer corrections anyways; there are actually 5 stages of the Egyptian language. Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian (the classic literary language even in later dynasties, similar to our use of latin today), Late Egyptian, Demotic, then Coptic (still in use by the Coptic Church). Hieratic is a sort of cursive script that was used for Middle Egyptian and refashioned along with the hieroglyphs for Late Egyptian, and Demotic developed as a similarly cursive script (my professor described it as "hieratic gone wild", as it developed from hieratic kindof). Demotic wasn't developed until the New Kingdom- they only had Old Egyptian in the time of the pyramid texts. Also, the Pharaoh was not a god solely after they died- they were also seen as Horus on earth, Horus and/or other gods incarnate, the son of Ra and/or other deities, etc., which is why they had multiple "stage names", if you will- the most important of these of course being the Horus Name.

I love this concise outline of world history. There is no evidence that the pyramids of the Nile valley were constructed by the Pharaonic culture. The pyramids must have existed already way before the rise of this civilization. No graves of pharoahs have been found in the pyramids. It is difficult to date organic material such as stone, but signs of water erosion on the Sphynx, for example, would suggest its existence in antedeluvian times (prior to the last glacial period). Megalithic structures such as the pyramids, the ruins at Tiahuanaco in the Bolivian Highlands, Teotihuacan in Mexico are anomalies. It was common in antiquity for subsequent cultures to bury their dead in or near pre-existing structures which they considered holy. The abundance of unexplained megalithic sites suggests an ancient global civilization which must have existed prior to 17 000 B.P. (before present). Such sites have even been found well under the current sea level all around the globe. Unfortunately, such data has not made it into our history books (I call them propaganda books) as it would mean revising our entire timeline. Keep up the good work.
I do think The Pyramids are older than are said but not for the same reasons you think so.
I think the truth is being Hidden because that would disprove the Quran.
The Quran also says the earth is 6,000 years old and Islam is the dominant religion of Egypt and Sudan.
PS. there are More Pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt.
The Quran as well as the Bible are fake. These were merely concoted up to to control people.
I'm not atheist. I merely don't subscribe to any christian, pseudo-crhistian, judaic, nor islamic dogmas or anything fabricated by the aberrated mind of homo-sapiens, who isn't sapient at all. I am spiritiual as I know what and who I am, and what I am not, but not religious. And lastly, I don't preach anything to people in an attempt to influence their thinking.

"or anything fabricated"
Well as you don't like or understand the reality of academic research, then clearly you do subscribe to fabricated pseudo Bull Shit.
PS Don't forget to cite what food stuffs they were eating 17k yrs ago to build on this scale :)
