3+ Hours Of Ancient Egypt Facts

I decoded the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx in my book, The 2026 Awakening

The world's first writing comes from ancient Sumer not from ancient Egypt ! Do not spread B. S. propaganda !

Blood nutz can be crazy hey

Something that I'm noticing the modern Egyptian tour guides or whomstever do, is speak in continuation.

Ex: 'We went from pyramids to skyscrapers.'

If we spoke in continuation in America, it would sound like 'We went from teepees to skyscrapers'

But we don't say that, because there is a break in identity, in this landmasses' history. Like in Egypt 🦷😀🦷

A more accurate way to speak is, 'They had pyramids. We have skyscrapers'

'They' being the ancient bl ck afr can Egyptians, of the pyramid's era.
🚶🏿‍♂️

In the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead, we don't find a single sentence in which the pharaoh says:

"We built these pyramids."

Instead, the same linguistic pattern is repeated:

Pyramid Texts (PT)

PT 316 "Houses which stand since the First Time" / "The king enters the houses which stand since Zep Tepi" inherited
PT 600 "The road built in the First Time by the gods" inherited
PT 254 "What was done in the First Time" inherited
PT 1466–1468 "The heritage of the First Time belongs to me"
PT 1100 "The steps built by the gods" inherited
PT 2081–2082 “The stone house the gods established” inherited
PT 478–482 “Foundations laid in the First Time” inherited
PT 364–366 “The road of the First Time” inherited
PT 524 "Walls not raised by any man" inherited
PT 697 "A place made before humankind" inherited

Coffin Texts (CT)

CT 1130 "In the time of the First Ones, when light was the only king" Inherited / pre-human
CT 335 "Those who became Akh in the First Time" Inherited / pre-human
CT 74–78 "Before human names appeared, Gates were opened without words" Inherited / pre-human

Book of the Dead (BD)

BD 17 "I am the light which was before the light; I am the lord of those who were before the gods" Inherited / pre-human era
BD 80 "I am one of the predecessors who directed the roads of heaven" Inherited / pre-human era
BD 110 "Those who departed in the First Time, to the land of the northern light" Inherited / pre-human era
BD 175 "The rule of the First Ones whose names are not known" Inherited / pre-human era

This is not neutral silence. This is the language of inheritance and continuity.
The pharaohs had no problem boasting about the construction of temples, statues, and obelisks – we have countless such inscriptions.

Why does this language disappear from the greatest monuments of Giza, and only mention is made of the "First Time" and the works of predecessors?

This is not a request for "acknowledgment of receipt."
This is an observation of a clear asymmetry.

One could, of course, say, "it's just symbolism."
But then we must explain why this symbolism looks completely different in ordinary temples than in pyramids.
This is the crux of the question.

They viewed religion as an inseparable core of existence, utilizing complex symbols, funerary texts, and initiatory systems to guide consciousness beyond the physical. Their spiritual development was marked by a deep understanding of human personality and the afterlife.

I listened to her videos every night. The only thing that helps me fall asleep.

Shes awesome ❤

Because I love goid

Yes 🙌

Facts

No I don't like comparing

I am changing

Hell naw… this lady is making up a fiction just to appeal to them fools in Egypt. They are not even the real big dogs!!😂

Joann Fletcher is just awesome. Her voice is mesmerizing and I love the way she uses her hands when explaining a point. What a grand adventure! Melissa Kinne

Ancient Egypt wasn’t just pyramids — it was advanced medicine, sacred animals, powerful kings, and a civilization thousands of years ahead of its time.

Feminist archeology lol. We live in a clown world

Wait a minute there's a white nile?😮

glad this popped up

I can’t thank you enough for this!

How did they provide light for the workers? The mirror reflection theory has been pretty well debunked but no new evidence as to why no smoke damage if there were torches?

These are wonderful documentaries.
That said, there is a much-needed criticism on the term "Ancient Egypt". There’s a real issue with this otherwise innocuous-sounding word 'ancient'.
Not because the civilization isn’t ancient — obviously it is — but because of what that qualifier quietly does.
By default, we allow the comparatively very young modern culture and nation-state that owns the land, the unqualified name “Egypt” - while the civilization that built the pyramids, shaped the landscape, and defined the country’s global reputation is permanently forced to carry a modifier. As if to say ''the ancient version of this modern country we call "Egypt"''. Which is NOT all that they were - it's a huge downgrade or understatement of what that deep, sophisticated ancient culture was.

The term "Ancient Egypt" subtly implies that the modern nation-state can claim ownership and inheritance of all the accomplishments of a completely different civilization!

You surely see the core problem here:

The dynastic civilization occupied the land far longer than the modern state has existed; it lasted far longer than most other civilizations ever did; its impact on the physical landscape and world imagination of “Egypt” is overwhelmingly greater than the modern nation-state.
Most global engagement with Egypt today — tourism, education, fascination — is aimed at the dynastic civilization, not the impact of the modern country and cities, etc.

The two cultures are discontinuous in religion, language, and civilizational identity. Treating them as a single, unbroken cultural subject is misleading.
Why, then, is the older civilization required to (basically) justify itself with a qualifier, while the newer one gets to basically own the proper name? (I am aware of course that the ancients called their nation "Kemet"- but "Egypt" is just the translated name- which they own equally; they own it at least as much as the moderns do.)

So - we are educated adults - let's just simplify it and call them Egypt! We already adopt this simpler linguistics with other major civilizations.

When people say Rome, Sparta, Babylon, or Persia, the unqualified term defaults to the ancient civilization, and the modern political entity is specified only if needed. No confusion results. Indeed, political and nation-state borders are totally different subjects we talk about - contexts - than historical discussions. No one needs to explain when they mean ROME the ancient civilization and empire vs. ROME the comparatively small modern city in Italy. Same with Egypt. EGYPT is arguably the strongest candidate on Earth for this fair treatment, as it is the epitome of 'ancient, awe-inspiring and well preserved civilization'. If we venerate Rome, which deserves some veneration, we call it Rome- which we do. We venerate Egypt - which definitely merits it - yet we call it ''ancient Egypt''. See the difference?

Time to outgrow grade school history class, people. Like with "Rome", when referring to "Egypt" with a single name NO ONE would confuse those long-gone people who built the pyramids and mummified their pharaohs with the contemporary nation. And besides, one can always call the latter people "modern Egypt" or "the Egyptian state" etc. in the rare cases where they need to be extra specific.

This simpler language is not only easier to say, but in the process it stops us from unconsciously pre-deciding or implying questions of cultural inheritance through language.

It is actually striking how odd ''ancient Egypt'' sounds when used so repetitively by deeply passionate experts like Joann Fletcher (who is great, by the way). When someone speaks with awe and emotional commitment, but with such redundant repetitiveness- ~“I have always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt ... Join me on this in-depth, first-hand look... at... Ancient. Egypt!” Do you see how strange this completely redundant word 'ancient' stuck in there, sounds? It feels strangely bureaucratic, as if she must constantly explain to us that she means the ancient civilization, not the modern one, as if we are middle schoolers. Meanwhile with this sort of cold distance of redundantly specific nomenclature she subtly keeps that spectacular civilization, that she loves so much, at arm’s length. It's the speech of an academic classifier, like writing lists of long sterile sounding label-names of organisms - not the boots-on-the-ground zoo-keeper's lean simple speech, calling a lion, a lion - instead she keeps calling it a ''Panthera leo'' as she speaks to us!

I mean, honestly, are we really going to pretend she needs to SPECIFY that what she, as a Historian, studies deeply, is ''the ancient things'' in this place? Of course not- no one expects she is there, in the country, to go explore 100 year old Mosques or 50 year old apartment buildings. That is not what draws viewership to a documentary like this one.

So, you can see the word 'ancient' adds zero information - but what it adds is distance - and an unfair implicit assumption that the unqualified name properly belongs to the modern state. It does not - not if one is being intellectually honest with a proper respect for history. In North America we call the native peoples the "First Nations"- that is the modern, respectful term, as it recognizes they are different nations, CULTURES, who were here first and far longer than modern America A.K.A. the U.S.A. (or Canada) was. We don't call them, say, the ''ancient'' version of white American culture (not a perfect analogy but it fits, structurally).

At minimum, that silent assumption in ''ancient Egypt'' deserves to be questioned. Language is not neutral here. It quietly allocates symbolic inheritance — and it’s reasonable to ask whether the civilization that made “Egypt” mean something in the first place should really be the one forced to wear the qualifier.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

I didn’t just learn, I evolved.

Mainstream archeology does seem to make sense after all

Well I'm glad that you had such a good time in Egypt.
Personally I will never return it is full of theives and horrible people trying to make your life miserable.😢

No. You can’t isolate my source which is my heart beat. My on and off switch. That’s my online identity as well.

One of the best documentaries on ancient Egypt 👍

This was super engaging.

Half speed

Joann, any idea how the Egyptians took multi ton granite stone blocks and precision-cut huge multi ton granite coffins out of those blocks?

Are ancient Egyptian were Aryans?

2:16:17 so the guy is called night (in german but) and works at night
