      @Rose of Seattle: Be glad you don't have her as your professor, because her research is quite shoddy. She recently published the claim that Kyle Rittenhouse killed two BLACK men, instead of white men, in order to push her documented racist agenda. In addition, her lectures and publications are quite notorious for skipping over KEY FIGURES; read the comment here by dnifty1, who neatly spells out Cooney's errors.

    She skipped over Ahmose Nefertari the wife of the founder of the New Kingdom who was worshiped hundreds of years after she died and one of the first to hold the position of Gods wife of amun. She skipped over Queen Tiye who was the wife of Amenhotep III one of the most powerful kings of the New Kingdom. Nefertiti was not a powerful queen as she was erased from the record as the wife of the heretic. And then you have the powerful Queens and Divine Wives of Amun who arose in the 3rd intermediate period and later who were the basis of royal legitimacy such as Amenirdis. And the divine Wife of Amun was the major institution of female power in the ancient dynasties. Cleopatra was Greek and not related to the ancients of the Nile and her manipulations of the Romans were to maintain some semblance of Greek independence on the Nile after the Romans had conquered the rest of the Hellenistic world.

      I believe, according to evidence...just what I see...women had to be the first humans here on Earth. If you look the earliest evidence of any civilization, they were ran by women. Women were able to self-produce until something happened where is males come. During pregnancy, we all are female until secretion of testosterone seeps out.

      ​@@j-us-t_be-in-g You *_really_* need to revisit your biology. Sex is determined by chromosome pairing: XX for females, XY for males. The egg - produced by the female - contains one X-chromosome, as X's are the only chromosomes in females. The sperm - produced by the male - contains _either_ one X _or_ one Y-chromosome, as males carries both X and Y chromosomes. If the sperm that successfully attaches to and fertilizes the egg carries an X chromosome, the zygot - and later on during pregnancy, the fetus - has two X chromosomes. i.e. an XX chromosome pairing. If the sperm instead carries a Y chromosome, the pairing will be one of XY, and the zygot, later on fetus, post birth baby, will thus be one of male characteristics.
      Humans, as every other mammal, are neither shrimps, nor worms. We do not now, nor have we ever - at _any_ point of our evolution - interchange between sexes; Chromosomes pair the nano-second of the sperm fertilizes the egg, creating the zygot, and remains in that pairing until every little particle of our bodily remains are turned to dirt and we are fully decomposed.

    Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchy can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
    Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.
    As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).
    Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process.
    In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.
    Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3)
    To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
    Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face.
    A whole temple was dedicated to Hathor (ancient Egyptian diety), who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ua-cam.com/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/v-deo.html
    "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba
    "My son, keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother" - Proverbs 6 : 20

    This is a disappointing lecture. Too many vague statements, narrated in an off-hand manner, ending with some gratuitous nods to Woke notions at the end. I was surprised by the speaker's downplaying of the successes of European regnant queens and her notion of Europe as a single fragmented entity rather than as a collection of great powers and cultures in their own right.
    One cannot apply today's standards, so dependent on today's conditions, to people and societies of thousands of years ago. Until about a century and a half ago or so, child mortality was around some 50% and maternal mortality was also high, so it meant the average woman had to have 5-6 children for a society or group to survive. Modern medicine and industry, with highly organised states educating the young, have hugely reduced the time and energy women needed to spend on child bearing and rearing, allowing women to function almost as much as men in everyday life outside the home. Thus the lives of women in ancient times were biologically and functionally necessarily different, though in ancient Egypt perhaps better than elsewhere and more accessible to us today.

    For some reason, I disliked this lecture. But then it was going alright and then overall, I just didn’t like it at all. Idk what it is but I think it’s just the way the wording is. Lots of philosophy going on in the thought forms here and that’s what makes it unenjoyable compared to others. I think the narrator could do a little bit better than this with a little more empathy towards others instead of misinforming & disrespecting the true history of other countries on the floor.
