      My father is an archaeologist specialized in Egypt, India, China and South America and he looks nothing like her husband. I have met dozens of egyptologists and not a single person looks like them , also not a single one of them has ever heard about her or her husband so i guess they are not that good in their field.
      I can tell you one thing though, if they showed up at an egyptologist convention looking like that, this would be the laughing stock of the century !
      Imagine a medical doctor arriving at a pediatric hospital dressed like Mengele and you'll get the idea !

      @@morganolfursson2560 Then your father must not be good in the field because I've never heard of him. She has done her fair share of work and I'm going to assume its unlikely that one person is going to know about every single Egyptologist. and assuming this was an actual professional convention, literally no one who is sane would care about how she dressed. Of course this is assuming a level of maturity on the people that might not be there.

    I’m failing to understand why people are patronising her saying “bored rich people” or “to be wealthy” etc. Archaeologists aren’t exactly high earners, just because you are into vintage and choose to spend your money on a particular fashion does not mean you’re rich and bored. She is not bored, she contributes to education and discovery every single day in a super fascinating career which she loves and yet there are so many uneducated and angry assumptions. Do your research before choosing to just jump to silly conclusions.

    • @idylledoll
      @idylledoll 6 років тому +290

      No need for you to be patronising either. Our family has archeoligst friends and they don't make that much compared to other professions however anybody can live and spend lavishly if they prioritise properly and are smart about their spending without kids or serious financial obligation. My issue was just people having an issue with how she spends her money and just assuming she's wealthy. You cannot always tell. I was a poor student and still am struggling but because of careful prioritising I am able to still live beyond my means and have nice things.

    • @idylledoll
      @idylledoll 6 років тому +134

      It was not meant to be smug, I am not the one judging her calling her a rich and bored person or judging her at all like everyone else in this section. People were being patronising towards her and my argument was that she may not be rich at all but that is besides the entire point, people are so quick to judge and I know plenty of people who do live beyond their means by being smart with their money. My statements are from my own experience and I am entitled to my opinion just as you are yours but you really should be able to discuss without personal insults. My grandparents had absolutely nothing when they came to this country, they worked their asses off and prioritised properly to the point they could spend lavishly and I personally know many people just like them who did the same thing. Perhaps not EVERY single person but I didn't mean for my words to mean the entire globe taken to the extreme technicalities including North Korea but generally in the western world where people have the freedom to make something out of nothing. There are exceptions to every rule but it does not invalidate my argument.

      Her clothes are probably fairly affordable in the long run. She's a smaller size, which have a longer shelf life in thrift stores. Good materials last longer. And there are vintage hobbyists who trade and support each other from all walks of life. Her husband's clothes are likely custom, though. And custom men's tailoring is ridiculously expensive.

A flapper didnt colonize Egypt, her job is studying the ancient world, it's so intellectually dishonest to link the two, completely twisting the point of this video. She's not doing it to relive the past, especially the negative things, she's embracing vintage fashion and her work.

      From the clothes I have seen from the era in East and North East Africa of that time, the clothes featured are what the colonialist females would wear. Calling her a flapper, and therefore innocent of it all, is like saying that there were no colonialist men who were dandies! The colonialist brought their wives with them. Karen Blixen, the Danish writer in Kenya, was also a sharp dresser, another flapper in Africa: i.pinimg.com/originals/a8/a1/22/a8a122a3b3e85b7f4e57c2e73823ab7a.jpg

    I wonder what she thinks of the contradictions between studying Egyptology and (in a way) romanticising the 1920s/30s/40s though fashion? As an ancient history student we are constantly being told to be skeptical of the scholarship that came before us, and this is especially true in Egyptology, where from the 1800s to the 1960s the field was plagued with racist and colonialist ideals. What does she think about those past scholars and their questionable methods and beliefs when she is also trying to emulate their style? Can she effectively critique Howard Carter's not great archeological methods whilst also adoring the time period he represents? I would love to know what she thinks about this!

      Its making me sick how this video is portraying her and naive people in the comments addressing her as a queen, but she is the exact opposite. This woman ventured into an affair she had with a Yale colleague which caused a divorce as well as continuing that affair which caused many problems in the program with the treatment of her own graduate students at the egyptology program.
      Girl, link to all the tea. Please dont hype this women up.

    As an archaeology major who've done several excavations, I think what she meant by "excavating" was only visiting the sites and not the actual digging lmao I think the vintage clothes would be too inconvenient, not to mention you'd damaged the old material as well js

    • @BathroomTile
      @BathroomTile 4 роки тому +27

      To be fair, do academics do any actual digging? Aren't they essentially managing the dig sites, cataloging finds, etc., while a team of laborers does the actual digging? I don't know anything about the area, just wondering. Seems what'd make more sense. Indiana Jones and Lara Croft aren't exactly real life.

      @@BathroomTile Archaeology major here too and according to my Archaeological Methods professor, it depends, mostly on where you're digging. Here where I live, in Guatemala, you tend to use hired help mostly because a) it's cheap and b) the locals tend to be seasoned looters, so better put that experience to good use instead of letting them run wild at the sites. In other parts of the world, where labor costs are higher, archaeologists tend to do the dirty work themselves because, well, projects tends to be strapped for cash as it is, may as well take advantage of the workforce that's already on the payroll. Plus, I hear using hired help has a bit of a stigma these days as it is associated with the older more colonialist periods of archaeology's history.

    Why so much hate? She found a style and time period that suits her and her husband's aesthetic. Also, the way she dresses doesn't have to have anything to do with her profession as an egyptologist - but it is worth mentioning that egyptology, and just Egypt in general, was incredibly popular in the early 20th century, so there actually is a link, and an influence, between that and the fashions of the time. She is not dressing to please any of us, I'm sure.

      She was sleeping with her professor whilst she attended Yale; then when they were colleagues, he vouched on her behalf for a promotion (whilst still seeing each other) When their affair became public, Yale's Egyptology program was cut back, impacting current & future students. That's why people are upset.

    • @lillianconway6065
      @lillianconway6065 6 років тому +127

      Allow me: Howard Carter discovered King Tut's tomb in 1922 (this was mentioned in the video) and the 19th amendment gave way for women to study Egyptology during that era, the beginning of the feminist movement. People would have been wearing clothes similar to what she has displayed in the video during the excavation of the tomb. Not to mention, art deco was inspired by the discoveries in Egypt, which played a role in developing fashion motifs during the 20s era.

    • @maryamkim1281

      I thought Howard Carter was British and that the feminist movement as we know it, started in many parts of Europe long before 1922? Karen Blixen, the Danish writer in Kenya, wore clothes just like these from the photos I have seen of her.
