Watched you reacting to The Mummy, then I stumbled upon this treasure of a channel in an online deshret. Instant subscriber. Thank you!
Same!!
Me three! And love to see more Mummy viewing, and especially Mummy Returns! That has a lot of scenes set in ancient Egypt, that’d be so fun!
Me too!
This is my favourite new channel!
Same!!!
As a child I loved to read about ancient egypt. Sadly I've forgotten most of what I knew back then. Your videos bring back that childhood enthusiasm while being really aesthetic. Thank you so much for making that effort!
Glad you like them!
I wish you both were my professors at college. i would take all your courses!!! you both explain things so well and eloquently and i love how you both dress!!
Absolutely brilliant. Love this channel and how beautifully everything is explained in such an exciting manner. I definitely look forward to your next video; really like the stylized way how everything is explained with images (artwork) of the past.
Wow, thank you!
I like the format of you two having a discussion, and including us sometimes, like we’re all just chatting.
I honestly love this channel. I've never seen a channel dedicated solely to ancient Egyptian culture. I can't wait for future content!
Welcome aboard!
Imagine the interesting dinner conversations that can be experienced at that house. Thank you, Dr and Dr Darnell, for providing videos where so many interests are covered: Egyptology, 1920s aesthetic and a touch of an era that is sadly gone.
Wow ! I am discovering you 2 awesome people, thanks to Rachel Maksy who visited you for the viewing of the mummy. Your passion and knowledge of the the Egyptian history is an absolute delight to take in! Je vous adore et même si l'anglais n'est pas ma première langue, vous nous communiquez votre puit de connaissances de façon tellement claire, avec exemples graphiques et anecdotes qui nous dépeignent tellement de facettes ignorées de ce peuple plus grand que nature ! Thank you !
I'm so happy that you started a youtube channel and are making more videos! I have followed your interviews/ talks on various documentaries/ instagrams for a long time and you two are just so much fun to watch. I have also recommended you to many of my friends and relatives back in China and they ALL LOVE IT (well, of course I had to screenshot and translate your content). I was born in an archeologist family in China and my parents both love egyptology, so sharing your content with them (because you update so regularly and quickly) is my new way to enjoy time with them while I'm away from home. I just want you to know that you have reached many parts of this world by spreading knowledge like such and it's just precious. Thank you.
That is so very kind - it is wonderful to know that these videos can be enjoyed by your whole family!
Hello.
Thank you for uploading this video, truly fascinating.
May I ask you something?
I have heard that the ancient egyptians did not really know how their deities looked like.
I mean.
yes.
they made statues and many other things "depicting" them.
But these images did not really depict how the gods looked like in a physical way, but in a symbolic way.
The images depicted their attributes but not their physical features.
Unlike, for example, the greek gods, who had specific humanoid appearences and many other things that characterised them, the egyptians openly claimed that it was impossible to know how the gods really looked like because they were spiritual incorporeal beings.
I have also heard that the ancient egyptian religion was not polytheistic in the same way as, again, the greeks, but more in a phanteistic or panentheistic way, were the gods were all parts and aspects of an higher form of divinity.
Something symilar to the concept of divinity in the majority of hindu traditions.
Were the gods are all aspects of the supreme divine spirit known as Brahman.
Is that true?
Could you be so nice to give me your opinion as actual informed egyptologists?
I'd love to know about it.
If not, I can always wait for the inevitable video about the complex egyptian religion and philosophy
No problem
✋🏻
Omg I'm so happy you set up a channel! I am thrilled! I'm so fascinated by everything Ancient Egypt! Rachel sent me here!
This has the potential to be the most fascinating channel on UA-cam. Please continue producing content! I went to Egypt two years ago on a tour and this is rekindling so many memories. What a magical country.
There is something about Egypt that always gets the imagination going love from New Zealand
As an Egyptologist I truly admire your work. You are an inspiration to me. 😘🙏🏻
Wow, thank you! That really means a lot coming from a fellow Egyptologist!
Love to see people talk about things they are passionate about, there's always another interesting point to add.
Thank you, Doctors Darnell. I cannot overstate how much I am loving your content. In just a few videos I feel I have been gifted with knowledge I never knew I needed to know. It reveals how surface my knowledge of Ancient Egypt is. That reminds me I am off to experience the 3D depictions so that I can feel something of what ancient tourists must have felt. Just think, in the future, there may be a whole new iteration of humanity crafting their own virtual depictions of our then ancient culture. I wonder at how they will regard us. My best to you and yours.
Looking forward to your next.
So amazing that I found you here, I lived in Egypt as a teenager and have the best memories. Much love.x
I am in heaven. My children have my pans all over the floor while I am simply in aww watching. Learning so much!
That is absolutely hilarious ... Egyptology creates pandemonium!
I could sit and listen to this all day every day. You’re both so passionate and I wish I could attend lectures like these, just out of pure interest.
4:24 ...didn't know that there have been tourists at the Valley of the Kings since ancient Greek era :O :O
(...and the part about vandalizing the tombs 🙈, why are things like that so persistent in humanity? 😫🙈🙈)
I would absolutely love to go with them on an archeological dig in Egypt. They would definitely keep my attention.
the channel ive been waiting for! super fan of you guys from the history channel
Hello from Canada 🙂Cannot wait for more videos...so fascinating and you’re both so engaging, I want to learn so much more...hope you’re both well and looking forward to the next post ✨I follow on Instagram too and cannot get enough knowledge. The posts are in depth and keep me coming back for more
Thank you for this new video ! we learn so much !
Could you talk about your job as egyptologist in an other video ? For example teaching, archaeology, research ?
After this pandemic is over, I would love to attend one of your lecturers or walk through an exhibit to learn from both of you ^_^ It is so fascinating to watch you both explain everything. Major props to you both for the amount of passion and research you both would have to do, in order to interpret everything and share it with us all. Thank you :)
OMG! This channel is pure gold! Even if I am most intrested in Greek/Roman history (I am a tourguide in Ephesos, Pergamon etc) you guys speaks about Egypt with such a passion that I can not stop to listening! Great Job! And I wish to have free time in yours library so much...
That is very kind - thank you!!
I love the aesthetic, and the content of course. It's fascinating to know there was once a culture where death played such an important role, perhaps more important than life itself!
I haven't had a chance to go through all of your videos yet, but if one doesn't already exist I would love to see a video about how you both became Egyptologists. That was my dream when I was a child/teenager but I never chased it.
I originally wanted to see more of your content after the collaboration video with Rachel Maksy but it only lead me to Instagram, so I followed you there. Stunning photos always, it really blows my mind how pretty your outfits and photos are, not to mention the accuracy of clothing's and education breakdown in those IG posts. True dedication. So I'm excited to see you finally have videos out out in your own channel. Definitely subscribed!
I just like to make a suggestion if I may. I am interested in learning more about Egyptian history, but your knowledge and explaining are far too advanced for my understanding. Could you please create more basic knowledge and terminology videos later on so I can learn those first and maybe rewatch these? Also really fascinated in how did Egyptologist first learn how to read Ancient Egyptian writings or know what each character means???
Thank you for reading my comment! Looking forward to more of your education videos in the future
Love your aesthetics. Please keep making more
Always a delight! ❤❤❤
I love love love learning about Ancient Egypt from you both! Your husband is a cornucopia of Ancient Egyptian life! When he speaks, I am listening intently. What a beautiful mind to share with us! I am grateful to live in a time where I can find two highly educated people who are deeply passionate about Ancient Egyptian history and can present it to us in bite size pieces! Thank you both for sharing with us! 💖💖💖💋
Honestly talking about tomb architecture makes me wonder how an ancient egyptian would react to a modern-day amusement park dark ride. They'd lose their MIND.
I think you two are probably the coolest academics on youtube right now - subbed
That is very kind - thank you!
My favorite UA-cam videos!! Thank you dr. John and dr. Colleen!! 💗
Glad you like them!
Outstanding incredible information. Thank you, both Dr. Colleen and Dr. John Darnell.
This channels is everything I ever wanted! Soooo interesting!!! Greetings from Germany :D
Happy to hear that!
I can’t wait to see more from you both as I find it fascinating
Couldn't stop watching. I totally loved it!
Thank you!
I’m so glad I discovered this channel! I’ve always been interested in learning more about ancient Egypt. Looking forward to more videos!
A. Why are you the real life Frynie Fisher??? (Or perhaps Peabody and Emerson!) And B. I’m officially obsessed with this channel.
Both of your active listening faces are just everything! It’s so adorable.
Espero hagan más videos así y sigan compartiendo sus conocimientos, es hermoso 💜
Saludos desde México 😊
Hope you do more videos like this one and continue sharing your knowledge, it's beautiful 💜
Greetings from Mexico 😊
I don't know if it´s intentional, but the rounded mirror at the back of the room creates a reflection that reminds me of the Arnolfini Portrait by Van Eyck. Amazing content, I wish I had known about this channel sooner.
Please, share your opinion about surviving folkways from pharaonic times by D. Eady or anything more about dayly life in Ancient Egypt! Love this!
Another great video! This channel is such a breath of fresh air for the platform! Another interesting greek word for something ancient egyptian that has persisted to this day is sarcophagus, a word literally meaning "flesh-eater". And if i may ask a question, what was the ancient egyptian word for sarcophagus? Did it have a special meaning like in greek?
Wow, thank you!
I'm a mortuary science student and am particularly fascinated by the history of death ritual. Loved this video!
Fascinating history. There is so much more depth to ancient Egyptian religion and culture than I realized. They had an interesting way of dealing with death.
Fascinating!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for discussing the complexity and depth of the subject. Learning and teaching art history for survey courses, I have always loved that there will be places that interest me enough to dive deeply. The pure joy of this is that I never, never reach the bottom because even the most simple things have layers of history and application leading to their genesis and shifting with their use. (My experience suggests that if you put 3 priest/scholars of any religion into a room and ask for explanations of their practice, you will emerge with at least 9 versions!) Your posts are a joy! (P.S. I am endlessly nosy. I love the dining room you have been presenting in and hope that you will present in other interesting parts of your environment.)
My dreams of egyptologists having a chanel on youtube came true thanks to you!
It is always a pleasure to have a glimpse into ancient egyptian culture.
Wow, thank you!
I love you guys. Just love all the tings I learn here. you are soo good.
Yippee! New video! How wonderful it is to be reminded that even through time people really don't change. We are curious creatures with a desire to be a part of beautiful and historic things.
I was so excited to find this channel, so fascinating, and wonderful expertise and enthusiasm! Looking forward to your next videos. When I was a kid I was really interested in ancient Egypt and wanted to become an Egyptologist too. Thanks again, and greetings from Finland :)
Awesome, thank you!
You two have no idea how happy I am to have come across you both. I have always felt this pull to Egypt and her people and rich history. I was to go there this year but due to circumstances I have had to put off mly trip of a lifetime.
Thank you! It is always wonderful to hear that our channel makes people happy, and hopefully in the future travel to Egypt can resume.
OMG im fascinated, love it
NOOO, why did it end so fast !! Keep up the good work ! I am truly glad to see a new channel with such great enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge!!
Will there be a time you might cover Greco Roman Egypt? It’s art and tombs always seem to be over looked to me because of the fame of other tombs.
that 3d tour is so cool!
I'm so happy to have found your channel! I'm already following you on Instagram too. You are such a source of inspiration for me. I'm probably your biggest fan here in Brazil! Kisses
Thank you so much!!
After just 3 episodes i am already a big fan! I love ancient cultures specially egybt and finally we get quality information on yt on that subject. I can't wait for future videos!!!!

Glad you enjoy it!
I love your channel ♥️ You both are so eloquent and knowledgeable, but I feel like so much of it is lost on me. I don’t really know anything about ancient Egypt but it’s a fascinating topic. I would love to see future videos that are more introductory, I think they would reach a broader audience. Is it possible to do a brief overview of ancient Egypt, introduce subjects like hieroglyphs, mummification, tombs, Gods, possibly chronological videos of the most influential rulers. It was so interesting to learn that they had animal humor in ancient Egypt. I know it’s my own naïveté, but I don’t often think that these older cultures had humor. I don’t feel like the average person has a good grasp on what the people were like. I loved learning that there were Greco Roman tourists also, the tie-ins with the rest of the world help give structure to my understanding. I know these intimate discussions are for people much more intelligent than me, but I want to learn from you as well 😊 Oh and please do a video about your backgrounds and experiences. You are both so fascinating!
You lovely darlings are the living embodiment of Elizabeth Peters most beloved Amelia Peabody series. Those books the ignited my love of Egypt back in high school. Beautifully stylish and knowledgeable I hope to enjoy more of your content in the future!
Oh wow! Those are some of my favorite novels, and to hear you say that I embody her heroine Amelia Peabody made my day!
A great family, Thanks for shairing. There is a lot to be learned from this channel. We would be very happy if a video comes from you about the Egyptian writing system, Hieroglyph reading and deciphering the writings: D
Great suggestion!
Thank you for yet another wonderful video! With your videos you have inspired me to reread some of my books on Ancient Egypt and egyptology.
Wonderful!
You guys should luma key in some Middle Kingdom scenery into those overexposed windows. I bet it would look cool.
I love the decor and fashion its so cool
I love this channel so much and I am so happy to come across this!
Thank you so much for these videos and I look forward to them!
Oh this is SO fun. Im gonna enjoy these videos as they come out. How fabulous is she?!?!
This right down my alley ,can't wait for all of the interesting facts.greetings from la Florida👋
I cant wait to see more! Seeing your passion of your work and studies just makes me wanting to learn more
Awesome! Thank you!
So good!☺
Thanks! 😊
thank you ever so much for this!!! i spend my days looking forward to the next videos
Thank you for this wonderful and informative historical content.
I'm very happy to have found this channel
Glad you enjoy it!
Very facinating video! I love the idea of ancient tourist and tour guides!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing. I can't wait next episode. Thank You for opening my mind for new knowledge:)
Great video! I never realized how many books there are. You're right - we only ever really hear about the Book of the Dead. I'd love to learn more about each of your backgrounds in a video sometime - what inspired you to become Egyptologists and what specific areas of study you specialize in. Looking forward to your next video!
I love this channel! Thanks for the amazing educational content. I appreciate your passion!
You guys should do a Let's Play of Assassins Creed Origins! It takes place entirely in Egypt and recreates a HUGEEEE chunk of its map
Can you both do a review of Rick Riordan’s “The Kane Chronicles”? I’d love to hear your perspective on the mythology in this series. It’s my absolute favorite. And you two are my absolute favorite!
I love this channel. The information is amazing.
Thank you!
This channel is making me reconsider my career😍😍
you're thinking of opening tureen cleaning business?
Per usual, y’all do a great job. On a side note, I am in love with your convex mirror.
Thanks so much! It's from an incredible antique store in CT, who at the moment has an Etsy shop too: Old Beautiful. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
This is so fascinating😍 thank you both✊❤
Our pleasure!
hey guys absolutely loved the video and thank you for kindling my love for these incredible topics. I wanted to ask you regarding your book on the netherworlds, as someone that has pretty limited knowledge and understanding of the ancient egypt can I dive in to that book right away without prior reading or will I be confused and frustrated? Sending you love from Turkey!
You remind me of Vera fermiga of the conjuring franchise.... But u know in Egyptology.......I loved ur reaction to mummy movie..... Do another reaction to the sequels
Love this channel, love the content, love this video!
As a film person, gotta ask - what's your audio setup? Cause the audio sounds echoey.
Ohhh wait do you have the audio from both cameras in this video? Cause that would explain it
Yes, I am still learning how to sync and work with audio! Hieroglyphs are easier than fine tuning audio.
@@VintageEgyptologist Haha, completely understandable
I love your channel, i wish that there are english subtitles, since im not native english speaker, i think i can understand better with sub.
We have edited the subtitles now - so if you go back to the video, all of the names and spellings are accurate. We are making sure that we do this for all of our videos.
@@VintageEgyptologist Thank you so much, now I can understand better! I can't wait for another videos. ❤
let the History Lesson Begins
Thank you Doctors Darnell for making this bibliophile wanting to learn more about The Book of the Netherworld. And once the libraries are open, I'm going to do just that. Keep safe and healthy. My best to the Basenjis. BTW are any pets mentioned by name in Pharaohic Egypt like Queen Victoria's DASH or Edward VII"s Caesar?
Thank you for that lovely comment! Yes, we actually have dozens of dog names attested in hieroglyphic texts. And a few donkey names! You'll be delighted to know that Narmer the basenji will have a starring role in our next video!
Amduat sounds delicious
Note related to this video, but I have a question. What role could women play in the military of Ancient Egypt?
Also, I am greatly enjoying the videos.
WoW!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Doctors.. I just finished watching your video on the movie Mummy. I have to be honest that I fell in love with Egypt and it's culture because of the movie but now I want to learn something more. Could you help me out??
Will you do a video on Heka?
Is the 40 day summoning ritual performed by Moshe known, or recorded anywhere?
💚💚💚
Why is Lady Mary Crawley teaching me Egyptology?
