Number 10 haor the goddess hathor was originally created by her dad raw as a destroyer of men she was supposed to punish all those who were disobedient to him but then raw was like I don’t really like that idea he just kind of changed his mind and decided to make her the
Exact opposite instead the goddess of love but she kind of loved killing men and like even he couldn’t stop her so one night he gave her what was supposed to be a mug of Ale but actually made it like a special kind of blood and she got so drunk off
Of it that she got too tired out to kill anymore and therefore became the Goddess of Love Drunk in Love am I right her cult was centered in dendera where she was also seen as the goddess of fertility and childbirth when the Greeks occupied Egypt they compared her with
The goddess Aphrodite but unlike the voluptuous woman Aphrodite was depicted as hathor came in three forms and I bet you can’t guess which she was depicted as either a woman with a cow’s ears wearing the headdress of a cow or just a cowo number nine the beginning of the
World I yeah what a what an inventive way to imagine the beginning of things I mean the big bang is still pretty crazy too but hey here we go freaking love how much magic is in these stories like I’m in because that’s all there was at the beginning of the universe according to
The ancient Egyptians just swirling Darkness chaos and Magic hea the god of magic was the only anything that existed waiting for the opportune moment to begin then a hill showed up called Ben Ben and out of which the god AUM erupted from he was lonely so he made it with
His own shadow to give birth to two children Shu and tefnut Shu gave life te nut gave order they left their father to build the world but they were gone so long he took out his eye and sent it to search for them in the meantime he just
Kind of sat there contemplating eternity all alone he was really sad this guy sounds like like Zeus mixed with eore anyways his kids came back and he was so happy he wept tears of joy and out of which were born men and women they also brought his eye back so that was
Nice number eight light as a feather so unlike a lot of religions we’ve heard of there wasn’t really a concept of Hell in Egyptian mythology it was either you were worthy of heading into the Afterlife or you weren’t mat was the goddess of Harmony and supported the
Belief that if Harmony was disrupted it must be restored every ancient Egyptian myth in some form follows this format but the most important role she played was in the afterlife when the soul left the body it would appear in the Hall of Truth in order to stand judgment before
Osiris the heart would be weighed on a golden scale against mat’s white feather if the heart was heavier it would be devoured by a monster and the Soul would disappear if it was lighter then you could go live in Eternal Bliss so instead of several layers of burning
Torment souls in Egypt instead faced Eternal darkness and unconsciousness the idea of non-existence was more ter terrifying than being cut up by demons huh number seven Osiris and Isis okay so we aren’t strangers to deities being a fan of incest it was kind of like how they multiplied and ancient
Greeks were okay with it kind of but they kind of weren’t anyways the Egyptian gods were no exception Isis and Osiris were two of the four children of the goddess of nut Isis and Osiris were married and actually really in love they they they dug each other when Osiris
Rose to the throne as the eldest sibling his brother’s set was pretty jealous so he took the life of his own brother cut him into little pieces and Scattered them all over Egypt he really wanted to make sure the guy was dead but then Isis wasn’t someone you wanted to mess with
She had great magical powers capable of restoring life she collected all the pieces of her brother/ husband and breathed life back into him Osiris returned to life and they made all the love and then soon conceived a child named Horus however Osiris couldn’t return to the land of the living so he
Had to stay and rule over the underworld so his son Horus was left to get revenge and we’ll get to that later number six un nubis now I think in western films that depict ancient Egypt like The Mummy Returns the god Anubis is often associated with the underworld you know
That creepy halfman half Jackal creature who appears to walk out of your nightmares like he’s so creepy well he did used to run the underworld until Osiris took over but he was actually the god of mummification and the afterlife so not wrong but not the whole story
Anubis was the son of nephus and set well kind of nephus actually never conceived the child with set she kind of had a she kind of had the hots for Osiris so she disguised herself as Isis and made love to him that way and then Anubis came to life that may have been
One of the reasons Seth attacked Cyrus in the first place as his suspicions Rose but it was actually Anubis who helped Isis piece together Osiris creating the first mummy fun in fact during the Greek rule of Egypt Anubis and Hermes were seen kind of as the same
The people who fed the dead to the underworld oh sorry an a point Anubis was actually the one who weighed people’s hearts so he used the feather the thing you know what to do he was responsible for doing that number five Horus and set speaking of Horus earlier
Remember how he said Horus had to take over defending his father well here is where this Story begins when Horus grew up to be a man he pulled a hamlet he was like you killed my father prepared to die thus a series of battles ensued and
One of the Gods didn’t play fair SE kept cheating and everything and continued to come out as Victor not surprising since he didn’t earn his way on the throne he killed for it kind of like a certain Claudius eventually Isis stepped out to help her son SL nephew overcome her
Brother she set a trap for set but after some pitiless begging for his own life she let him go Horus was pissed so angry some of the other gods got upset that he was so angry they agreed to compete in a final boat race and Horus was like
Crushing it he was doing really well he was about to win but then of course Seth cheated by turning into a hippopotamus and attacked the boat therefore claiming Victory once again Osiris finally showed up and declared that no man should take the throne through murder so Horus took the throne why
Osiris didn’t just settle the whole deal from the beginning is confusing in itself but hey kind of remind me of the Eagles that showed at the end of Lord of the Rings that could have saved like three movies you know kind of like that anyways let’s move on number four raw
And his boat raw is one of the most revered gods in Egyptian mythology especially since he was the god of the sun he was depicted as a man with the head of a falcon that kind of makes sense he was once the greatest of all
Gods but had to take a step back after he got too old and tired and especially considering his task I can see why his job was to drive away darkness and sail across the skies delivering light wherever he went but at night he would dive into the underworld and have to
Cross 12 gates 12 12 hours an hour per gate after paying his respect to Osiris every night a giant snake named apus tried to attack and swallow the boat every night poor guy no wonder he got worn out every day it got harder to defend and even one night apus succeeded
But could only hold the sunlight for so long she threw it up which explained solar eclipses after set was cast out after the whole nephew battle he ended up serving raw in his boat and kept the snake at Bay but there’s something confusing coming later that I think
You’ll agree as is very confusing so here we go coming up next we have bass number three have you ever had a cat look you up and down and kind of like expect something like worship you know are you cat person dog person let me know in the comments well that’s because
Cats were a big deal in Egyptian mythology they even had their own goddess bastet was a cat goddess depicted as a woman with a cat’s head cats had a meaningful role in ancient Egypt as they Protected Their Food from rats and snakes they were even seen as
Family members and to harm one was punishable by death Legend says that sometimes cats would enter burning buildings to save their families if they died the goddess would bring them back to life hence the idea of cats having nine lives there it is now here’s where things get confusing you know that story
I told about raw well apparently bastet was in the boat with him as well during the day she would ride with him and at night she would turn into a cat and then defend the boat from Aus the snake but I thought that was set so many conflicting
Things I saw like a couple different stories who said each thing was different so who knows number two Jeb and nut yet another sibling partnership we have Jeb and nut they fell deeply in love and could never be separated they were that couple who would like
Constantly be like oh my God stop right next to each other at dinner you know what I mean jab was the god of the earth and nut was the god of the sky a previously mentioned God AUM found their Union inappropriate so he pushed nut
Into this guy far away from Jeb he just didn’t like being a third wheel Jeb and nut were close enough to see each other but could never hold each other again and she gave birth to Osiris Isis set and nephus some say Horus too but I don’t think that’s true number one the
Treasure Thief okay I don’t know how I feel about the story okay this doesn’t really feel like Harmony is in Balance but anyways the treasure Thief ends in a way I really didn’t expect and I’m not sure you will either long ago a great Pharaoh with a wealth of riches decided
To build a pyramid in which to keep them safe one of the builders was wise to his plan and decided to find a way to claim them for himself he built a stone Vault with a hidden entrance covered by a slab so he could get to the riches but
Unfortunately he fell ill before he could return so he told his sons of his plan the sons headed to the pyramid in the dead of night following their father’s order but unbeknown to them the Pharaoh had laid booby traps and one brother was caught in one not wanting to
Be found or interrogated revealing his other brother he told his brother to chop his head off that he did loyalty I don’t know the Pharaoh upon finding the body hunging up in the Town Square in the hopes of like weeding out whoever it belonged to but the other brother being so clever got
The guards drunk and stole back his brother’s body in the dead of night the Pharaoh was like I’m not even mad I’m just impressed he gave the thief a pardon summoned him to the square and gave his daughter to marry him yeah dude you tried to steal my
Jewels don’t worry about it have my daughter because you’re so talented at your job great work at number 10 Brotherly Love there were some weird things happening between the Gods in Egyptian mythology as we will come to learn through this video to get us started on this journey through the
Strangest of stories let’s talk about some serious closeness between the gods Osiris and Isis these two gods were husband and wife but they were also brother and sister yeah it’s weird but they were God so I guess it was fine these two ruled Egypt until their other brother set killed Osiris one her
Husband died Isis went on a search to find Osiris’s body because she just really wanted to have a child with him and just wasn’t going to let pesky Old Death get in her way when she found Osiris’s remains she was able to resurrect him for long enough for them
To conceive a child however that process was a little difficult because she wasn’t able to get the most important part of him for that because a fish had apparently eaten his member again Isis was a very resilient woman and quite crafty too because she just crafted him
A new device if you will and they went on to produce a son Horus who would later become the new king of Egypt this story is a little weird don’t get me wrong but it’s also a story of perseverance I guess so maybe it’s not
All bad H number nine trophies I know a lot of people like to save little MOS and souvenirs from things that meant a lot to them in life people save movie stubs from their first date with someone little objects from their childhoods and a whole collection of other things saved
From different points of their lives there was an Egyptian God who sort of did the same thing but a little creepier well actually it was a lot creepier the god Anubis was the god of mummification and I guess you could say that he just really liked his job he was part of the
Embalming process for some big names like Osiris see tying it back to the previous story when the god Set killed his brother Osiris he got pretty buddy buddy with Anubis because he offered Osiris’s organs to the god of mummification but not for Anubis since he was known to collect pieces of the
Remains of people that he had in bombed he had a thing for Limbs and other remains I guess it was a weird collection to have that’s for sure but for the god of mumification it almost seems fitting before we carry on talking about some of these strange things that
Egyptian gods did in their mythology why not leave a like on this video if you’re enjoying it so far and while you’re at it maybe consider subscribing to the channel to see more videos like this one at number eight the last snack for the Egyptians a person’s burial and their
Soul’s final Journey was a very big deal we probably all familiar with the mummification practices of the ancient Egyptians and all that but what comes after was also pretty interesting when someone died it was believed that their soul would then move on to be judged the
Soul would leave their body and go to the underworld searching for the Hall of Truth once they found it they would then be judged on who they were in their life and if they passed the test then they got to go to paradise but if they failed
Then they became a nice little snack for the goddess EMT EMT was known as a demon goddess and dubbed the devour of M when the deceased was tested and their heart was weighed against a other if they failed that test then amid would eat the person’s Essence and they would vanish
For eternity obviously you wouldn’t want that to happen so I guess this was just an incentive for Egyptians to live life as a good person I number seven down the Nile now I know that I’ve mentioned the story of set and Osiris a couple times
Now but their story is just so messed up and weird that I have to keep including the best parts of it anyways we all know that set overthrew his brother Osiris as a king of Egypt and did so by killing him but let’s talk about exact exactly
How that happened SE was a really jealous guy and he resented his brother for being King so he devised a plan to trick his brother into a coffin set had a coffin designed exactly for Osiris’s measurements and while at a party SE challenged Osiris to get in it as he
Promised that he would give the coffin as a gift to anyone who could fit inside it so yeah it was rigged from the start so Osiris gets inside and obviously it was a perfect fit what he didn’t know though was that this was where he would remain forever because sealed his
Brother in the coffin and sent it down the Nile River after that Osiris’s wife/ sister Isis went to go find him and blah blah blah we already know what happens next at number six Lady of plagues guys if you haven’t already clued in we’re still in a panorama a panzera a pandemic
It seems like it’ll never end and after learning about the Egyptian goddess seket I think I know why we’re all going through this it’s because someone pissed her off big time saket was known as the lady of ter teror and if you don’t get a
Good sense as to who she was just by her name just you wait this goddess had the ability to spread pestilence and plague against anyone who remotely angered her so judging by that I think if you believe in this kind of thing someone has some serious apologizing to do
Because of this insane power Egyptians were brought up to know that they had to stay on SE Met’s good side otherwise it would be risking the health and safety of themselves and those around them so this is a PSA to whoever made SE met so mad please go apologize buy her some
Flowers make a sacrifice or two if you have to please just make her stop it’s literally my birthday today and all I want to do is live out my 20s in peace please just do it for me on number five H love we all know that the Egyptians
Loved cats why I don’t know I honestly can’t see why you would worship those angry little fur Devils but hey to each their own I guess the Egyptians even had their own goddess for cats called bastet and though you might think that she was just some crazy cat lady goddess you
Would be very very wrong bastad had a dark side to her and was known as the lady of dread or the lady of Slaughter kind of fitting for a name for a cat goddess since they are also evil to their core she was known to kill other
Gods like the god apus whom she slaughtered by cutting off his head regardless of her dark past though the Egyptians still worshiped her and many even worshiped her by bringing her offerings of mummified cats to her Temple cats bring out the dark inent people I’m telling you on number four
Boozy blood sometimes we make bad decisions when we’re emotional like those times that people Punch walls when they’re really mad and totally regret it afterwards well even though they were deities sometimes the Egyptian gods would do some regrettable things too raw the Sun God had a mighty temper and was
Known to make some pretty rash decisions at one point raw decided that he wanted everyone to just die and so he instructed his daughter hawthor to slaughter all the humans that she could find hawor was totally on the same page and was like okay Bet and went off to
Kill Some Humans luckily for Humanity though raw came to his senses and had a change of heart but by the time he caught up to hawthor she became so bloodthirsty that there was no stopping her so in an attempt to trick her into stopping her killing Conquest ra filled
7,000 jars with beer and gave it to hawthor who then became so drunk that she just gave up on her Mission and decided not to kill everyone now they say that alcohol can’t solve all your problems but in this case it’s certainly did at number three creation there are
So many creation stories out there created by various religions and civilizations one of the more bizarre creation stories however belongs to the ancient Egyptians because their first God did something a little weird to create Life as we know it these ancient people believed that their very first
God atum created himself and as such he had no wife and literally no one else to potentially procreate with and so to create his children and thus create Humanity he pumped the hose and released Humanity if you get what I’m saying here if not you’re too young to be here
Anyways out of his pleasurable process he created his kids shoe and te nut this Legend also created the term the God’s hand and was used to refer to women back in ancient Egypt since atum’s hand played the quote unquote female role in the creation of his offspring but yeah I
Guess you could say that adum was very pleased with what he created and number two giant snake there were a lot of strange animals in Egyptian mythology one of them being a giant snake the Egyptian God apep was a giant snake who had some serious snake beef with their
Son God raw they were Polar Opposites ra being the light literally and AEP representing Darkness chaos and evil one day AEP just seemed to have had enough with raw and all of his sunshine goodness and positive vibes and just swallowed him up he gobbled up raw and
The sun leaving the world in complete darkness luckily the other gods were there to save the day and and they had to slice a Pep’s belly open to free raw and restore light to the world this evil danger noodle lost this battle but at least he got a taste of that spicy
Meatball in the sky and finally at number one a hearty meal there are two sides to every person some people are nice on the surface but they have a dark core that they keep hidden from the world and the same could sort of be said for the Egyptian god konu you see the
Gods were seen as helpful but people also feared them for good reason I mean these guys could pack a punch and and konu was one of those guys with a serious dark side kanu was the god of the Moon and was also seen as the god of healing sound super positive and all
However he was also known to eat people’s hearts yeah human hearts were a choice snack of his but he was also known to Dy on the hearts of Select Gods as well he definitely isn’t the guy to mess with because you might become his next hearty meal at number 10 creation
Every religion and civilization from the dawn of humanity has come up with their own unique stories as to how the world was created some civilizations have credited aliens others have credited a benevolent God and many of these gods have their own unique ways of creating life though we’ve heard stories of gods
Creating people out of things like corn or mud or just thin air I don’t think these stories could even compare to the ancient Egyptian story of creation these ancient people believed that their very first God atum created himself as such he had no wife and literally no one else
To potentially procreate with and so to create his and thus create Humanity he well he busted literally he just gave himself a one to meat massage and boom out of that process he created his kids shoe and tefnut a very fitting name if you ask me this Legend I guess you could
Say created the term the God’s hand and this was used to refer to women back in ancient Egypt since atum’s hand played the quote unquote female role in the creation of his offspring this term was also Carri it over into other civilizations like in the Greco Roman
Period so if you ever hear someone say God’s hand now you know where that came from at number nine cheating death these days if you get caught cheating on your partner the worst that could happen to you is you break up or you get a divorce or maybe even get exposed on social
Media but back in the times of ancient Egypt the punishment for adultery was much much worse than having your relationship end instead your life would be the thing that ends obviously in any civilization any kind of relationship can always happen outside of a marriage the only varying
Difference is the punishment for it for the ancient Egyptians being caught having an adulterous relationship was punishable by death pretty harsh for having a sneaky link but I guess they took their relationships much more seriously back then one of the most famous cases of a serial adulterer if
You will came from a man named panb who was known to sleep with many married women and even had his own son join in on his escapades too as you can imagine things didn’t really end well for them so if you ever go back in time to
Ancient Egypt just be careful of who you sleep with before we continue talking about some of the things that your teachers might not have taught you about ancient Egypt why not leave a like on this video if you’re enjoying it so far and while you’re at it consider
Subscribing to the channel to see more videos like this one on number eight ancient last year there was a huge Scandal concerning cardi B and make the stallion song it’s a pretty racy song that had a lot of people up in arms about it and it was all over the news I
Mean if you ever heard any songs from the early 2000s then you would know that this kind of musical content really isn’t a new thing and cool songs have been a part of society for a really long time but it might surprise you to know that they even had some risque songs
Even back in the times of ancient Egypt historians have discovered some of these songs one of which I can recite to you and it uses some pretty imaginative wording to describe a woman’s body and in exerpt from said song it says quote the one the sister without peer the
Handsomest of all she looks like the rising Morning Star at the start of a happy year shining bright Fair of skin lovely the look of her eyes sweet the speech of her lips she has not a word too much upright neck shining breast her hair true lapis lazuli arms surpassing
Gold fingers like Lotus buds heavy thighs narrow waist her legs parade her beauty with graceful steps she Treads the ground captures my heart with her movement end quote now it’s no but for the ancient Egyptians it was pretty spicy on number seven the ancient Hub back in ancient times people needed some
Spicy content to make themselves happy you know before we had only fans and the Hub people in ancient Egypt had their own adult content to enjoy during their alone time this piece of content was called the Turan Papyrus and it was essentially just a scroll of a bunch of
Images on it with people getting busy and some frankly unimaginable positions like I don’t know when the Kamasutra was created but I feel like the ter Papyrus certainly gave it a run for its money the purpose of this Papyrus is pretty much unknown but there are some theories
To explain its origin and why it was created some thinking that it had political ties or something either way historians use this document to further understand times in ancient Egypt at number six magic attraction you know we can’t always have the best game when it comes to finding a partner sometimes it
Can be hard to get someone to go out with you many people just don’t give up until they succeed and sometimes that means that they would go to many lengths just to get a date with their crush this was seen a lot in ancient Egypt and at
One point in later years of their civilization they practiced magic to attract the one that they loved turns out that they practiced Voodoo to get someone interested in them and it was commonly done by men seeking out the woman of their dreams in one case of
This voodo for love practice a man had a magician make a voodoo doll of a woman that he wanted all to himself the magician pierced the figurine with bronze nails and inscribed a tablet on it with a spell saying that this woman would not be able to drink eat or be
With another man besides the one seeking her out the spell also supposedly summoned a demon to follow her and pull her hair and intestines until she found her way to him sounds a little intense but hey I guess that’s just what you do when you don’t have Tinder at number
Five sneaky Link in ancient Egyptian literature women were often portrayed as seductresses one of the more famous stories telling the tale of a seductress is one called the tale of the two brothers essentially The Story Goes that a man wife and his younger brother all lived together one day the two men went
Out to do some farm work and while they were out the one man told his brother to go back to the house to get some grain sacks when he reached the house the wife noticed the brother and complimented him on his strength and tried to seduce him
The brother got angry and refused but told the wife that he wouldn’t say anything to her husband about their encounter still she was worried that the brother would snitch and so she made herself look like she had been beaten up and when her husband returned she pretended like the brother was the one
Who tried to seduce her the husband got angry and threatened to kill his brother but in an attempt to save his own skin the brother told the husband the truth and even cut his bits off and threw his PE PE into the river just to prove his
Point where it was promptly eaten by fish unfortunate the husband then returned home to his wife where he killed her and fed her to dogs not a happy ending for anyone but it gives you real sense of how adultery worked back in those days at number four no Viagra
Just like anyone else these days back in ancient Egypt sometimes people had performance issues impotence was apparently a really big issue for many Egyptian men it was such a common issue that sometimes it infiltrated their art and there were some Scrolls and statues about it an ancient Egyptian prover was
Created about such a topic that said quote he who is shy to have intercourse with his wife will not get any children now obviously there are things nowadays that can help with such an issue but back then people resulted to prayer and Magic to help their little buddies out
Don’t really know how well that worked out for them but it’s a struggle that a lot of people face so at least they weren’t alone on number three lgbtq plus as with anywhere on Earth there were same-sex relationships and the same goes for ancient Egypt however documentation
Of such things were far and few the only 100% clear-cut case of same-sex relationships that was documented in ancient Egypt comes from the story of Horus and Seth The Story Goes that Horus and Seth were both vying for the throne and one night Horus pretended to drunk
While Seth tried to take advantage of him while for slept not the greatest example but it’s what we’ve got that’s actually confirmed another potential recorded gay relationship may have come from Egypt’s King pepu II who was thought to have had a secret relationship with one of his generals at
Nighttime one of the most well-known potential gay relationships from those times though comes from a piece of Egyptian art that showed two men touching noses doesn’t seem like anything too intimate but back then touching noses was another way of kissing the two men depicted though were thought to be brothers so it’s theorized
That there was something a little spicy going on there but we don’t have to think about that one too hard I number two dirty insults what is your favorite insult don’t be shy you can tell me this is a safe space I guess I have a number
Of favorites but one that I quite enjoy is saying that someone’s mother is a horker like in Skyrim back in the times of ancient Egypt however insults often included some kind of note if they needed to hurl an insult at someone they might say something like quote May you
Copulate with a donkey or may a donkey copulate with your wife people would also combine some kind of note with pointing out someone’s flaws to create an insult in a note found from one of the people who built one of the Great Pyramids they insulted one of their
Co-build by saying quote you are not a man because you cannot get your Wives pregnant like your fellow men like damn that’s pretty cold dude and finally at number one the magic peep now I had to save this next fact for our number one spot because it’s
Probably one of the most bizarre things that I’ve ever learned about ancient Egypt the Egyptian god M was the male fertility God and let’s just say that he was quite unique he was known for his bold feathered headdress and the fact that his loin cloth snake was always
Being Charmed if you get what I’m saying men suffering from impotence would make offerings to him to help them with their fertility problems even to this day figures of the god men are used in magic rights men and women still visit the ancient temples to find figures of the
God and literally his to overcome their problems sounds strange but apparently so many people have done it that the stone that it’s carved into has become worn down or darkened from how many hands have touched it now I can only imagine what this God’s body count was
Legal that the best example of this is oneway ticket if you’ve watched some of our other pharaoh videos before you may know the reason their tombs are so packed full of Art and treasure but also carriages and beds and forks and snacks genuinely just random living equipment
Is because the Egyptians r r on the belief that after death you continued to live life so you need all the stuff that you had in your regular life if you wanted to maintain your comfort and not have to Reby or rebuild everything so if you’re an everyday person yeah they may
Toss your toothbrush and your teddy bear in there but Pharaohs were used to a more personal larger commodity people servants and concubines and surfs all of these people were considered possessions as well so if the Pharaoh died for a super long time they’d quite literally Mass kill his whole staff and toss him
Down there in his tomb for example one of the very first rulers King AA supposedly died after being gored to death by a hippo to accompany aad to the afterlife some corders retainers and slaves downed poisoned and were buried with him sometimes if the rumor is true these peoples would also Simply Be
Sealed into the tombs alive F to say crime very big crime very big crime crime crime crime crime while that wasn’t a big deal then however the Trish agreement violations was Trish the king of madani who was another close Ally of Egypt had given his daughter’s hand in
Marriage to akans Satan the father of Amah AKA King to upon his father’s death the young Pharaoh married the mitani princess as well making her one of the Lesser wives let’s be real nefer titty had homeboy heart soul and boys in a choke hole Tada sent aanat many letters
To protest the fact that he never received the agreed upon bride prize of solid gold statues and instead had only been sent gold plated wooden ones cheapos the Pharaohs didn’t avoid all diplomatic matters just ones they didn’t personally interest him his attention was primarily focused on religious
Reform and life within his Palace this Persian Pharaoh was a known prick and animal hater the Persian son of Cyrus the Great after tas’s Nation conquered Egypt though he was put in charge of that country and so he was the ruler of Egypt and apparently someone who hated
Animals this is the psycho who strapped cats onto Shields to gain ENT into Egypt put on fights between lion cubs and puppies and once killed the sacred apis bull a literal crime in ancient Egypt punishable by death when cisus returned to Memphis after an unsuccessful military campaign in the South ais’s new
Reincarnation happened to appear in Egypt the same day which is a massive call of Celebration when abis appears the Egyptians all at once Dawn their best clothes and they hold a festival seeing this cambus is convinced they’re celebrating his misfortunes so he summoned the rulers of Memphis and
Demanded to know why the Egyptians were behaving this way they answered that a God had appeared and it was custom for Egyptians to Rejoice that occasion cisus is unconvinced though and claims they’re lying and has them put to death he then next summons the priest who told him the
Same thing when he asked he replied that if a tame God had come to Egypt he would know about it then he ordered the priests bring apus before him which they stupidly do when the priests lead him in cambias has draws his dagger and stabs the bull laughing at their screams of
Horror he said to the priest are these your Gods fools of Flesh and Blood who can feel the bite of iron this is a fitting God for Egyptians but I will teach you to make a laughing stock of me he then ordered all the priest Swift and any other Egyptians celebrating to be
Killed so the festival ended and the priests were punished and apis lay in the temple until it died and they had to secretly bury it this was arguably kind of a crime kind of not it’s Cleopatra sibling Annihilator and she is nowhere near the only one Egyptian pharaohs
Loved to smoke their own siblings kids nephews to to ensure any kind of Throne claim why yeah it was a crime but who’s going to do something about that and what can you do that won’t make you the next coup victim yourself power grabs and murder plots were as much a
Tolomatic tradition as inter sibling marriage and Cleopatra and her brothers and sisters were no different her first sibling husband pomy the pilant ran her out of Egypt after she tried to take sole possession of the throne and then the pair later faced off in a civil war
That she won by shacking up with Uncle Caesar toam me then drowned in the Nile following the war Cleopatra Mary her younger brother and she is believed to have killed him not long after as the marriage was just to ensure her and Caesar’s son cesarian was next in line
In 41 BC she also engineered the death of her sister arono who was considered a rival to the throne see I’d say a bunch of killing coup that’s a crime nothing like a klepto gaslighter King though a masses’ crime with literally being a petty Thief absolutely zero yard cred
For that one dude was a raging alcoholic Nyo and made it to the throne by being sent to calmed down a rebellion but instead chose to join it and Lead it overthrowing the Pharaoh and earning him his throne ever a master of tact he sent the K his declaration of war by actually
Lifting his leg and farting and telling the messenger to take that back to the king he’s that guy but what was most hilarious at least to me was the fact he’s kleptomaniac that would steal his friend stuff then put it in his house invite those friends over intentionally
Bring them to the room where the item was and then try to convince them that they’d never owned it in the first place once they’d seen it this is the single most frat boy personality I’ve come across in ancient times anywhere and it’s glad to know that it actually does
Come from somewhere by making religion illegal he was defying the laws of the Gods aenh hatton’s monotheism intentionally erased from history until the 19th century Egyptian pharaoh aen hotten established the first known monotheistic religion called atenism which was rediscovered in the late 18th century and integrated by the 19th and
20th centuries religious philosophers into the histories of the three abrahamic religions during aen hot’s first years as Pharaoh he did Rec recognized the existence of other gods even though aen was his primary Patron deity there exists iconography from early aen hattan’s Reign where he was still am in holon of aen and that
Includes images of the other solar Gods however those scenes of a 10 sharing space with other gods soon disappear in later depictions and some of these EOG graphs of a 10 alongside other deities are defaced a few years later after their creation additionally any mention of Aken hattan’s old name Aman hotten
Was also hacked out aen hotten would eventually officially procla claimed that aen was the one and only God and he condemned the worship and or acknowledgement of any other deity going so far as to remove their names and ethes this actually led to O’s condemnation of memory a practice
Reserve for scrubbing unlikable people from history by imposing these laws he defied the universe’s laws and those unspoken of freedom of religion in them w w y’all ain’t going to like this one it’s puppy mills very legal as they should be your reminder to please go to
The SPCA and a charity and adopt one of those adult animals or rescue baby animals rather than financially feed a puppy or kitten mail because you want a fancy breed but back in ancient Egypt they were not only incredibly necessary but also well common dog is it okay to
Use that right now in Sakara researchers have discovered burial sites filled with a huge number of M mummified animals nearly 8 million of them and most of them are dogs the catacomb in particular is one dedicated to the jackal-headed God anibus who represents the afterlife archaeologist and egyptologist Salma
Ikram writes that the animal mummification began in ancient Egypt to allow beloved pets to go onto the afterlife as well to provide food in the afterlife and to act as offerings to a particular God nowadays people go to church and they light a candle when they wanted some Godly handouts but the
Egyptians were in for the Long Hall one little flame isn’t enough so instead they would offer a mummified dog to get a mummified dog well ikram says the huge number of mummified dogs and Plies not completely confirms the existence of ancient Egyptian puppy mills as you don’t get 8 million mummies without
Having puppy farms and some of these dogs were killed deliberately so that they could be offered so for us that really seems heartless but for the Egyptians they felt that the dogs were going straight up to join the Eternal pack with Annubis and so they were going
Off to a better thing 2,000 years later Alex is facing his crimes during his stay in Egypt Alexander the Great was proclaimed the new Pharaoh he received historic titles associated with the position such as the son of raw and beloved of Aman whether Alexander also received leave the elaborate coronation
Ceremony at Memphis however is debated but what won’t be is him being on this list fight me off although he was in control of Persia by 330 BC a very drunk and very angry he stripped Royal treasuries as he went through the country and captured Persia’s Capital
Persopolis burning it to the ground in a final Act of revenge against Persia with all the treasures inside Alexander the Great Macedonian army then pillaged the city destroyed the palace complex killed almost every single civilian and then violated and stole the women so 2,377 years later on the 26th of October
2022 Alexander the Great stood trial for war crimes at the UK Supreme Court he was charged with for counted violation of laws and customs of War during the raising and conquest of pus the prosecution argued that Alexander was a war criminal who committed atrocities at pus as a deliberate political act the
Defense argued that the burning of persus was not politically motivated rather it was merely tragic consequence of his drunken behavior and sh shockingly the jury acquitted him on all four C of war crimes the verdict surprised Lord legot the Supreme Court Justice priding after the jury chose to
Judge the defendant by the standards of his own time rather than the modern customs of War and the annual Classics for all mooch trial I cannot help but feel some regret that you found deliberate extermination and enslavement not to be war crimes but SOI it like at
Said now for something that was a Grecian no but in Egypt it’s a yeah sibling relations so it the Egyptian pharaohs wouldn’t be breaking any crimes but with the pamic Dynasty when they came in they were Macedonian Greeks from a land where it was very much a crime to
Be doing some stuff with your siblings it’s also very much a crime by today’s standards everywhere but Alabama so the toames adopted this practice from the Egyptians whom they conquered although this would ironically exclude the native Egyptians the tradition of sibling marriages appears to have begun with toomy II philadelphus who married his
Older sister Mr Areno II the F at philadelphias actually means sibling lover but they kept it clean it wasn’t until the union of pamy II and arenia III that this custom of interf family marriage resulted in the first birth of an heir all earlier heirs to the Egyptian throne in the tomatic dynasty
Had been from the side wives as noted by historian Shila Al AER the Greeks clearly believe that interf family relations were repugnant not only to the gods but to all right thinking individuals given that the Greek literature cesa is one of the greatest booze things did not turn out well for
Edus after all there has been a protracted scholarly debate as to why the toames engaged in it one of the primary explanations is they were influenced by the local culture however the practice of sibling marriage may have also bolstered their legitimacy as authentic pharaohs in the eyes of their
Egyptian subjects despite this even though other Greek families had moved to Egypt were also marrying cousins there is a tendency to blame the Egyptians for the tolomatic you know issue now the insane way in which Cleo learned the toxic limits Alex alandria became a prestigious center of learning and the
First Medical Center of the ancient world as the last member of the tolomatic dynasty Cleopatra inherited the throne but also the great inclination of the toames towards medicine and science attracted by knowledge of Venoms and poison Cleopatra began to test them un condemned prisoners to see the different reactions
Produced in the body and found toxic limitations by tricking or directly forcing the prisoners into testing these poisons and mixes Cleo learned oral poisons would cause disturbances such as painful spasms nausea abdominal cramps and slow ends she even had set snakes on prisoners in order to compare the major
Effects of venomous snake bites caused by the various species in Egypt such as vipers or IDs it has been said that Cleopatra used the Cobra to take her own life because it would also make sense in some Egyptian mythology being associated with the sacred uras warn by the Pharaohs however there are several
Problems with this series and some Scholars argue when she decided to take her life using the information from testing these poisons she would use a poison that would make sense that given the possibility to choose the best one to have a quick and relatively pain-free death we’re going to start with peace
Treaties Egypt’s alst know Ram sees II as the pharaoh who restored Egypt’s relations with Syria and built a lot of neat temples in the desert back in the 1200s BC and he’s the one in that Disney movie whose first son gets smoked by the plague kind of a wild guy so we’ll talk
About him quite a bit in this vid anyways for over two centuries the Egyptians fought against the hiti empire for control of lands in modern-day Syria the conflict gave rise to a bloody boot down such as the 1247 BC Battle of cadesh but by the time of the Pharaoh
Ramises II neither side had emerged as a clear Victor and this was just becoming all drawn out and bloody and just plain stupid especially with both Empires facing threats from people outside each other but who’s ever going to be the first to wave the White Flag let’s be
Real when it comes to two dudes y’all are notoriously known for just beating each other up shaking hands and best friends again so in 1259 BC the two said ah to hell with it let’s do L and romsy thei and the hiti King hatsu the third negotiated a famous peace treaty one
That was either the first known in creation or one of the earliest ever this agreement ended the conflict and decreed the two kingdoms would Aid each other in the event of an evasion by a third party this treaty is now recognized as one of the earliest surviving Peace Accords and a copy can
Be seen above the entrance to the United Nations security Council how about some ancient Egyptian body dysmorphia because bodies are supposed to look like this right that’s what henh Hatten was probably one Ing and it must have been awkward as H for Fina s Queen nefertity
And normall looking son King Tut to try and lie their way through any reply to that because this whack job was known for two things firstly as who forced monotheism on Egypt so brutally that when he died his son had to awkwardly eras his legacy and secondly he was one
Funny looking dude he had an hourglass figure like a BBL Badd and elongated head with a square jaw jutting out big curved allmond eyes and let’s say he could have filled out a bra better than me so Egyptians like to play photoshop with their selfies the way we do now and
The first depictions of O his body and head are normal but after he forced monotheism that literally destroyed the economy and Empire his gender in sculptures and carvings became more ambiguous three explanations first he’s the most hated Pharaoh in history so I mean come on artistic license get some
Anger out second perhaps his changing appearance was metaphorical meant to portray o as the father mother of all humankind third is that it was genetic disorders such as amatra excess syndrome where the body released equal levels of both hormones but we know what the likely one was seeing as these guys
Could quite literally not keep their hands or really any appendage out of their family members I’m not going to lie I can’t handle having eyeliner on for 3 hours that mean my roommate go out meanwhile the Pharaohs had obligatory face beat like they were working at ancient Sephora every day early Greek
Traders who visited Egypt were astonished by the sophistication and precision with which Egyptians took care of their skin and hair and decorated their bodies Europeans remarked that almost everyone was wearing makeup even in public places and that’ be accurate as both men and women were known to wear
Copious amounts of the stuff believing it gave them the protection of the Gods Horus and raw who were always fighting or banging each other and doing so in a full face of makeup like some spectacular fur suit wearing drag queens the only distinguishing factor between men and women’s makeup was that men’s
Makeup was simple while women’s was often heavier and more complex the distinguishing factor of all makeup however was wealth Nobles could afford the fresher or less diluted products while lower status had to use makeup from poor quality materials which sucks since they worked in the Sun all day and
Higher quality coal you lined your eyes with the better it reduced Sun reflection this act will also protect them from evil spirits and eye diseases as they believed their makeup had magical hearing powers and they weren’t entirely wrong research has shown that lead based Cosmetics weren’t along the
Nile actually staved off eye infections all right you annoying ancient astronaut people this is for you Tut space knife I am not sitting here doing the work we all pretending we all don’t know who King Tut is he was the child Pharaoh Smoked by a hippo bite curs tomb blah
Blah blah blah blah so we’re just going to get right to it and say he had a knife literally from space specifically a small dagger but whatever effing y’all this thing is so sharp to this day the TSA would tackle you sooner than let you board anything with it they found it in
Toub in 1920s with all that other magical treasury honky Dory that they stole out of there and it was originally believed to be forged from the Iron Heart of a meteorite originally ah keyword see Egyptians didn’t have the ability to smell they weren’t actually suitably advanced in that realm so they
Especially wouldn’t be able to forge a weapon from space metal let alone crack open a meteorite to get to it or know that was even an option this has led historians to presume that the dagger was a gift from a foreign nation that did possess smel technology while historians are pretty confident the
Foreign Nation wasn’t the Martians they haven’t explicitly ruled that out either so I guess those ancient alien guys might have a point if you like stuff like this check out our top 10 alien hieroglyphs found in ancient history video the story of how two pharaohs throw down over pet hippos so Pharaoh
Secondry Tao I’m going to call him SE the second kept a pool full of pet hippopotamuses letting his massive pets Splash and play all day obviously you don’t get close because these are blind rage death animal machines but this guy loved his hippos so much he could kill
For them he was willing to die for them in fact he literally did just that this is back when Egypt was divided and the most powerful Egyptian kingdom was called hios which was ruled by Pharaoh ay being a lesser King Seck was required to pay tributes to Ay out of respect he
Could handle the humiliation of living under the tyranny of another man rip fragile male ego but as long as a puppy didn’t rub it in or act like an ass about it so that’s exactly what a poppy did he went right for the sore spot by
Telling Seck to get rid of his hippos apparently they were too loud and a poy couldn’t sleep at night in his own house that was 750 km away yeah no sex says hey I can handle you bullying me constantly but leave the hippos out of this and he would not tolerate any
Further insults to his hippos this he declared was grounds for war that’s what they did SE even died in combat fighting for his right to a hippo pool the war didn’t end when he died however his son kept it going two generations of Kings fought for a hippo pool and time they
Won by the end of the war Egypt had unified once more all because of one man’s love for his hippos and speaking of after that unification happened it paved the way for the Royal Trend Setter narur because before our boy narur came along the Red Crown of Lower Egypt and
The white crown of Upper Egypt were worn by the pre-dynastic Kings narur was famously the first king to be portrayed wearing both crowns symbolizing that Union this would later be replaced with the striped Crown a continuous representation of Union called a nemesis adorning the top was the Urus an upright
Cobra that symbolized the ancient Egyptian goddess waget meaning the Pharaoh was ready to strike his enemies with deadly venom trenet armor doesn’t stop at crowns he’s the first ruler to portray themselves in a Royal beard which every Egyptian pharaoh wore afterwards whether man or woman then there’s nur’s implementation of an
Official who has the most important task of carrying the pharaoh’s magic sandals Egyptians Pharaoh sandals were the only piece of clothing that separated them from the land of Egypt and rightfully symbolized the union between the Heavenly God world and the Earthly human world King tutch sandals were famously
Inscribed with pictures of his enemies meaning with every step he was crushing the enemies Egypt in the famous narur palette he’s also seen wearing a fake bulltail which symbolized strength to rule the country of the Nile but that Trend didn’t stick hey so Ramsey has 50 lost daughters what a crappy dad doesn’t
Know where all his kids even are kind of understandable when you have 102 of them with about nine women however made possible by somehow living to be 91 in an age where people died at like 20 spites to say he had lots of Leisure Time Of course not all the children were
Children at the same time Ramsey II began his family long before he took over as king and he reigned for 66 years he spread The Brood out over most of that time so archaeologists announced in 1820 they uncovered a tomb built by ramsy and that 52 or so of his sons
Happen to be in it they finally recently started excavations after a few decades and now we know that the maalum is the largest and most complex found to date in Egypt Valley of the Kings with at least 62 rooms but Egyptian kings normally didn’t build m Liams for their
Offsprings their principal wives yes over in the valley of Queens but their kids no if it turns out that only ramy’s sons are in the tomb where are the 50 daughters sexism can answer that males were regarded as potential heirs to the throne and the princesses were not so
They weren’t held in high esteem and didn’t get a fancy resting place doesn’t mean they didn’t have value rames designate at least three of his daughters as Princess Queens woo no no oh no what that suggests isn’t pretty but what isn’t known is whether or not they were actually married to him and
You know producing or if the title was a way of honoring selected daughters from tertiary wives historians however are pretty confident on which one it is this would be the end of the story but for a single question why would a latex protection manufacturer name its product
For a man who had 102 kids are you choosing cats or your Empire in Egypt the penalty for killing a cat was death this wasn’t just a law against cruelty to animals or sadistic Friday the 13th Butchery all you had to do was accidentally run over a cat with your
Chariot and you’re done this is mostly due to the animal being closely linked with the cat-headed goddess of warfare and balls of twined best step they were also revered for the role they played in protecting food stores and homes from Disease by killing pests like snakes and rats basically Pharaoh’s coined the
Three laws of robotics a millennia before Asimov and use them to protect the thing that poops under the stairs and I and don’t think there are exceptions one writer Doris culus even recorded that the king of Egypt himself personally tried to intervene and save a Roman man who’ accidentally killed a cat
His people did not give a single up however ignored the ruler showed no mercy caring literally negative a th000 if it meant risking war with with Rome they formed a mob hung him and left his body in the streets while the Pharaoh sent a real awkward fruit basket apology
To Rome perhaps the greatest example of a pharaoh placing the well-being of cats above that of his own people however was Pharaoh pactic the third literally told his army not to fight the Persians advancement because these smart little twists had painted the image of bastet on their Shields and marched behind a
Line of dogs sheeps and cats in their words whatever animals the Egyptians hold dear the Egyptians under threat of death from the Pharaoh had no choice but to let the Persian ruler walked straight into the city unchecked he then merked anyone who dared to challenge him using
The shields with cats drawn on them because you can’t even strike an image of a cat in ancient Egypt cesis the ruler’s name celebrated in a dignified Noble fashion marching the Egyptian armies past him as he threw cats at them and screamed insults at their gods we
Aren’t 100% sure who the first barel was but it was probably catfish chisel the only way we know the lineage for early Egyptian kinship is the highly damaged poos Stone which was a black slab of granite carved full of the names of Kings up to the fifth Dynasty the part
Of the stone where the first and second king of the first dynasty is inscribed is bust to clean off although it is generally accepted that the first king was Nur aka menz the second one was aha even without enough evidence to prove Beyond a doubt I can’t PES AA thing the
Name of narur is composed to two ideograms the catfish reading as Nar and the Chisel reading as myrr the location of nur’s body has eluded archaeologist for two centuries now the first Egyptian pharaoh used to build a type of Tomb called a maasta and they did so until
The third Dynasty when they started busting out pyramids it’s theorized Nur is in one of those but then egyptologists have discovered a large field of pre-dynastic and early dynastic Royal tombs in umab and the Armor’s name is identified in an inscription found however this is Egypt the site had
Suffered disturbances tomb robbing and distrest for the past 5,000 years making impossible to know which one of the bodies is the precise tomb of Nur to this day archaeologists and egyptologists disagree on whether Nur was buried in Sakara or umel cob and in the end his cause of death isn’t even
Fully known just that of a philosopher Mano saying the rain of Nur ends when he was carried off by a hippopotamus and perished and last but not least believe my eyes even though it may be a lie who knows I don’t but I love a good rhyme while it was likely a disease
Genetically inherited in its DNA the official Egyptian story is that Pharaoh was cursed by the gods with blindness apparently when the Nile was flooding phoh got fed up with it and instead of letting the water do its thing and calm down he chucked a spear at it because
Yes throwing a spear at a river would probably change things for his insolence and stupidity the god struck his ass Pharaoh’s Vibes this way the best he can for 10 years before he meets an oracle that either wanted to pull history’s most hilariously mean prank we genuinely
Believe the gods had passed on this message but the Oracle tells Pharaoh’s all he’s got to do is wash his eyes with the urine of a woman who’s never slept with any other person than her husband her whole life okay well pharaoh isn’t asking questions he’s here for Solutions
He finds his wife and says babe I want to spice things up in the bedroom I have an idea and the two of them give it a try only it doesn’t work so now he’s still blind and his wife has some explaining to do before she does that
Though pharoh needs some more urine and he needed it now so every woman in town is gathered up and given a pot which he then sat there dumping its contents into his eyes one after each other no I don’t know if he waited for it to cool down I
Do know it was probably the color of French’s Mustard though seeing as Egyptians literally only drank warm beer so imagine but somehow pharoh finds the one who’s not cheating on her husband or had banged someone before getting married and one of these warm beer pea buckets works and I wish I was kidding
But the official Egyptian records say yeah magic PE did this his sight is back and he asks for the hand of the magic pee wielding woman so they can marry on the spot all the while her husband awkwardly watches the consequences of his wife not cheating on him unfold oh
And then Pharaoh’s burned his old wife to death or at least that’s how the legend goes I highly doubt that it really did restore his eyesight and maybe just ordered historians to write a good story to explain a weird habit you know fetish we got a fetish
Here number 10 is getting lit whether their decisions were in regards to themselves their offspring their Futures their laws or their people pharaohs weren’t always known for making the most rational or sane choices but some things they felt were completely in the hands of gods and that wasn’t their want but
Rather something the Divine wished and passed through them something that falls into that category of the faradic law against offense or disrespect to the Sun God it was considered one of the most awful crimes you could commit and that’s pretty difficult because Egypt didn’t really have much crime thanks to their
Efficient baboon police force if you vandalized or robbed a temple committed any form of personal disrespect or were otherwise found guilty of any offense related to the sun god you were usually sentenced to be burned alive usually accompanied by a ritual that sacrificed the individual to the god while the
Ancient Egyptians rarely practiced actual human sacrifice this was one of the few exceptions while Burning Alive is painful enough to begin with it was considered most horrific death of all by ancient Egyptians because of that ritual significance they believed strongly in preserving the physical body for life after death and believed that destroying
The person’s physical body completely by burning would leave them with no vessel in the afterlife left to drift listlessly while the gods could still technically intervene to help this person should they feel they deserve it it was about as terrifying as a punishment as a believer in ancient Egyptian Society could imagine
Disturbing decision number nine is boys in the breeze cset Tris gets to be remembered for two things he was one of the greatest military commanders in Egyptian history and he put up giant hoo-has and wees everywhere he went thankfully these two Feats of his went hand in hand as he would send warships
And troops to every corner of the known world and stretch the kingdom further than anyone else ever had after each battle he would commemorate his success by setting up a big pillar with a picture of someone’s bits on it you can liter trace a map of this dude’s
Conquest via dongs on paper Herodotus saw some of cis’s monuments firsthand for the most part these pubic pillars were engraved with the usual self- Glory crap who he was how he had subdued his enemies and how certain he was that the gods were in his favor of his invade
Everyone policy but guys that’s not all the type of pubic pillar you received male versus female was a battle review system forget Google reviews and Trip Advisor ratings leaving a lady’s versus man’s pubic pillar would Define if the opposing Army had fought valiantly or like a bunch of sissies 1500 years after
They’re erected they still stood in Syria engraved with the genitals of failure disturbing decision number eight is the ram Blood bevi patk II was the last Pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty having a pitiful six-month run before a full scale Persian Invasion rolled into town led by King cises II a few days after
His cour ation rain fell at thieves which was a rare event that frightened some Egyptians who interpret this as a bad Omen and were already dubious of they young inexperienced King they were right to be sadly was easily defeated at the Battle of pilum due to how little
Time he’d been on the throne and how unprepared Egypt was for this Invasion that and he was betrayed by one of his allies so he fled to Memphis with his army who’ lost all hope in their pharaoh and watch as he is captured his stupid ass is carried back to Egypt in Chains
When he should have just stayed on the throne and accepted his fate in the first place Herodotus writes how all his daughters and wives were taken captives his wife slain his nobleman sentenced to death cambias brought all of them before the deposed pharaoh to try and elicit a
Reaction a weakness but only when the Pharaoh is shown an old friend of his turned into a homeless beggar does he actually become upset and break the unusual compassion actually spared the Pharaoh death who cambias is kept in his court for consultation you’d think he’d appreciate that since that literally
Never happens in history but pamic tries to raise a rebellion and it fails miserably with a death sentence imminent the former Pharaoh decides to take his life not by any traditional normal painless method no no no no no this guy chugs down a vat of Ram’s blood a literal vat then promptly died
Disturbing decision number seven is excessive children if you know anything about anyone in Egypt you already know this is about Ram’s ancient ass and I say that not because he lived in ancient times but because this is the king King who somehow lived to 96 in ancient Egypt
And still only died because someone ripped a hole in his jugular like they’re open in a bag of Doritos rames enjoyed his time alive right up until the very end he built more statues and monuments than any other king of Egypt and he slept with more women than anyone
Too maybe more than any human being ever someone has to have that title out there if I had to guess based on who exists in documented history he’s taking the cake pun intended the dude had a bare minimum of 100 guaranteed chill guaranteed if he has that many confirmed there was
Definitely a lot more unconfirmed gets crazier when I mention he had some of these children with his own children this was ancient Egypt after all got to keep that Royal bloodline pure by making their blood thick as mud you know he married at least three of his own kids
Including his first born he may or may not have married four historians aren’t sure whether his wife Hut was his daughter or his sister but since this is rames that we’re talking about there’s no reason that daughter sister and wife have to be mutually EX exclusive Ramsey’s had over 200 wives in his
Lifetime and pretty much outlived all of them disturbing decision number six is bring the squad another law made to serve Egyptian Pharaoh’s own interests while simultaneously screwing over everyone in the general vicinity and believe me there was a few of those was a law surrounding the servant contracts
See Royals and nobilities in the Old Kingdom had super fun claws written into their hieroglyphic employee contracts in the fine print stating that when they drop dead the whole staff is coming with them dead or alive take your pick a dead King needed his Squad to support him in
The afterlife on the Practical side you couldn’t leave anyone behind who might cause trouble for the new king it made for a mass Display of Power as these weren’t just lowly servants being tossed down there when the practice started it was people of incredibly high rank and tremendous value to Egyptian State this
Went to instill the lower class with tremendous awe and respect for these early Kings what better way to show off your power than to throw away your wealth what’s more valuable than your whole family in a recent vid the top 10 repulsive Queens from ancient Egypt you
Never learned about I mentioned how Lady FAL mares is buried with 50 of her servants all of them were alive when interred almost 600 victims are found buried with king deer and King Ahab had 41 corders retainers and others who downed poison and were buried with him Egyptian royalty stopped this practice
In the early first dynasty but it continued in more innocent form Yaba the little carved figurines that could magically serve the deceased in the afterlife disturbing decision number five is the this fetish sarasus the pubic pillar guy had a son named pheros who had gone blind at a young age now
This was likely some kind of disease or family genetic or maybe even the result of an infection or the result of pissing off the god see the legend says Pharaoh was fed up with the Nile flooding and refusing to listen to his decree to stop flooding it’s a River what are
You thinking so the dummy tossed a spear at it in frustration I don’t know rampant stupidity maybe assuming that would work and fores said stupidity and insolence he was allegedly struck Blind by the gods 10 years go by and an Oracle happens to roll through Egypt with a
Message for the blind Pharaoh that he could get his sight back all he had to do she told him was wash his eyes with the urine of a woman who had never slept with anyone other than her husband off Pharaoh’s what no questions asked such as what temperature it needed to be dark
Yellow or clear is better you know the fixon he immediately finds his wife and either hands her a bucket or takes a knee because somehow that piss got in the Man’s eyes as the prophet requested yet nothing happened Ferris was still blind and now his wife has some
Explaining to do first though Ferris was very focused on not being blind so he had the Army round up every married woman in town everyone’s given a bucket or like said the king took a knee history does not preserve the piss two eyes Transportation method finally after
Being peed on by an undisclosed amount of women Pharaoh Saw The Light thanks to the one woman in all of Egypt who hadn’t cheated on her husband which Pharaoh’s immediately Changed by having her divorce her husband and become his new wife on the spot then together they
Burnt his last wife at the stake and lived happily ever after disturbing decision number four is heid back in ancient Egypt things weren’t quite so simple because apparently a pharaoh who had ruled for 30 years also needed to perform a minor Olympics by themselves Egyptians observed a strange ritual
Called hebet which culminated in the Pharaoh running around a racetrack in the courtyard of their palace wearing a kilt with an animals a tail attached to it and wo be tied anyone who didn’t complete the course it became one of the oldest and longest running rituals of Egyptian history having existed for
5,000 years it usually took place on the fourth month of the Egyptian calendar so it coincided with the Nile flooding the Pharaoh would make numerous offerings to the gods and having a lavish recrowning ceremony some occasions concluded with the Pharaoh being given a ceremonial bow an arrow he’d shoot towards the four
Corners of the Kingdom just to show how far reaching their power was once a pharaoh had celebrated their first hebet they had to repeat the ceremony every 3 years until their death the main event had the Pharaoh as said dressed in a short kill with the tail of a bull or
Some similar creature attached to the back and placed on a running track in front of an audience of dignitaries where they’d be made to run as quickly as possible around the track besides simply giving the Pharaoh a chance to demonstrate their Vigor and athleticism egyptologists are unclear precisely what
The point of the pharaoh’s bizarre foot race really was some have suggested it was purely ceremonial and represented the Pharaoh outrunning old age others claim that it was intended like the bow and arrow to represent the Pharaoh reaching all hearts of their Kingdom others have claimed that there was much
More practical reason for it if the Pharaoh wasn’t able to complete the course then they were no longer fit to rule and they would be promptly sacrificed to Make Way for their younger fitter successor disturbing decision number three is to let the priests punish there was a time period where the
Power of the Pharaohs Slipped Away into the hands of the priests who puppeteered young and inexperienced Throne AES into dumb decisions and handing over too much power priest influence and power over the Common People increased continually over the years and before long they were being consulted for far more than they
Had ever been before those in power knew better than to question the priest too much as they were considered able to contact and gain support of the Gods thus it would be like questioning the gods which as you know from point one is a big old no no this power would also be
Able to potentially influence large amounts of people to do their bidding so naturally in the latter days of ancient Egypt the priesthood now found itself involved in matters of core they would bring in a statue of the Sun God and set the di before it with different options
For important decisions in court they were genuinely two papers deciding innocent or guilt the statute was supposed to turn towards whichever the correct paper was showing the will of the Gods of course this gave the priests a chance to manipulate the statue’s movements and essentially decide the
Court cases based on their own opinions biases and whims disturbing decision number two is River seedlings AKA how the Pharaoh would whip it out in front of the entire Kingdom once a year and yank his proverbial chain until completion into the Nile this came from the story of how created the Earth
Through the act of sacred self-pleasure something that the Egyptians glorified and saw as an act connecting oneself with the gods their own spiritual Essence and their physical being and they’re not wrong it’s an incredibly healthy approach to viewing self-pleasure the ancient world especially ancient Egypt was obsessed with growth birth creation and that
Which gave life with many myths and legends springing up in and around the concept of fertility the Nile was also revered for life-giving qualities so it should come as no surprise that the ceremonial spilling of seed during an annual Festival devoted to it raw and the life would occur the symbolism here
Is pretty powerful when we consider the fact that the Ancients viewed time in a circular format rather than a linear succession of moments in fact the ancient Egyptian word for seed progyny and describing the floods of the Nile was all the same word mtwt no idea how
To pronounce it not going to try the ancient Egyptians knew lifegiving fertilizing ways of the predictable floods of the Nile and they saw the same properties in seed so after your Pharaoh had finished his duty by the Nile the noblemen would take their turn as a
Group followed by all the men of Egypt being invited to spill their seed in the River of Life as well call it Community bonding disturbing decision number one is the daughter deal kufu the son of snafu decided to one up his old man when he commissioned the Great Pyramid of
Giza one of the last standing seven wonders of the anent world even though there’s still much left to speculation there’s a few things we do know for certain about the Great Pyramid such as the fact they are oversized tombs dedicated to the pharaoh’s ego they were originally covered in white Limestone
And gold they were never used for grain storage it took kfu about 20 years to have his bill and he sold his daughter as a pleasure worker in the process Let’s uh let’s pause on that last one real quick yeah so kufu didn’t really have the funds to spend on a
Pyramid of this size and grander but he was determined to beat out his daddy Herodotus the OG history recorder of Egypt makes more than one mention of it and usually with a lot of attitude because even he thought it was a little Rank and Herodotus had seen some to
Quote kufu descended to such a degree of infamy that he sold his own daughter in a brothel and ordered her to exact they do not say how much but she exacted a certain amount of money as much as her father had ordered her to like in ancient Babylon ancient Egypt at least
Saw being a working girl as a Divine and respectable act done for the gods so it wasn’t like everyone in the Kingdom including kufu went on to destroy this poor girl’s life rather deemed what she did in honor and godly service but still pretty effed up that her dad would blow
All his money on a project to the point he asked his own daughter to hit the streets you’re the Pharaoh this is your project and this is free love ancient Egypt baby so why don’t you go get your own bag number 10 to and common this guy is arguably the most famous Egyptian
Pharaoh so what is he doing at the top of the list well King Tutt wasn’t famous for anything he really did in his lifetime I mean he was a young phara but someone on this list was technically Pharaoh since he was two no he wasn’t famous for anything he really did
Instead Tuton Common’s tomb discovered in 1922 was one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever it was almost entirely intact and his sarcophagus was incredible to and commun only lived to the age of 20 and how he lost the spark of life is actually still a mystery he may not have done much
Other than a lot of relig reforms but he managed to find another way of living forever number nine Jer so with King Tut he didn’t really do much in his short Lifetime with joser we actually don’t really know a lot of what he did also
Like to and common it was what he did for and after his departure from life that made him famous joser was responsible for the construction of the Limestone step pyramid at Sakara the first of its kind it was a huge architectural achievement a building that stays structurally sound no matter
How big it gets will knock me down and call me Susan the pyramid was actually completed after he lost the will to live by his official emote number eight aminot theii okay on to the members of the list who we know did something significant for Egypt during their time
On the earth Al monot III ruled an artistically and financially successful Egypt he had pretty stellar reviews on Google for his trade relations which boosted up the economy of Egypt but it was his artistic side that got him a bit more of a lasting recognition he is the Pharaoh
With the most statues of himself he created tons of monuments and a lot of stone scarabs that still hold up with tons of stories of historical events I want some statues myself is is that weird probably number seven hot shepon now look women in Egypt had high status
And were respected more than in other parts of the world at the time but a female pharaoh while not unheard of was unfortunately still pretty rare hat Shep sit here was known as the most successful of those female pharaohs her father King fmos I wanted her to inherit
The throne and to that end she was brought up learning how to lead she reigned for 21 years after the death of her husband and everything she did from tons of construction projects to creating trade routes went off without a single hitch the people of Egypt lived
In peace for her entire rule number six thos III thos III was surprisingly the son of thos II who was the husband of hat Shepu you know number seven the most successful female pharaoh so that’s the kind of cloth we’re working with here thos was only two when his father bit
The dust so while he was technically the next Pharaoh his stepmother took over with him as co-ruler this guy’s contributions to the Egyptians were true tremendous though he was literally called the Napoleon of Egypt which shouldn’t Napoleon be the thos the third of France either way thos
Theii he helped expand Egypt like none before he was a dope Warrior and he helped in the construction of a lot of stuff most importantly the Temple of carac that’s how you make Mama Proud number five Xerxes the first you’ve most likely heard of this guy if not from his
Historically inaccurate portrayal in 300 than at least from one or two history classes but Adam wasn’t he the Emperor of Persia yeah well guess what my little bees Egypt was part of the Persian Empire which makes him Pharaoh as well this guy gets a pretty bad rap in
History but who wrote that history the Greeks who despised him for his attempted invasion of Greece oh I’m not saying he was great or anything in fact he had a bit of a disregard for the traditions of the the Egyptians and their way of life but you cannot tell me
That he was not significant in history Xerxes the great makes this list for his infamy more than anything else number four ainan so this is going to be the second not so beloved Pharaoh on this list but disdain for ainan didn’t come from war or the fact that his massive
Army was defeated by a group of a couple hundred Greeks no aanan here was Infamous for his devout following of a singular God uton the god of the sun he actually moved the capital of Egypt to a new location that he titled aatan or Horizon of uton and he kind of made
Everyone else worship the single God uton as well he was famous for a different reason though ainan was married to Nefertiti she played a huge part in his religious plans and she is well known in history for the Limestone bus that was made of her and has been
Copied so many freaking times number three kufu when you think of Egypt there is likely one thing that pops straight into your mind if you say anything other than the Great Pyramids of Giza you do not pass go you do not collect $200 and you lose kufu is the Pharaoh you have to
Thank for this wonder of the ancient world we still sort of don’t know exactly how it was constructed but this Goliath Limestone and mud brick structure was the tallest building in the world for like 4,000 years it was built as the housing for his tomb and as
His Stairway to Heaven no not the lead Zeppelin song it has three chambers inside of it plus a gallery that we’ve discovered so far as for what else kufu contributed to ancient Egyptian life we don’t have much in the way of texts about that yet but if this is the main
Thing then I mean I’d take it number two Cleopatra how could she not be on this list she was the very last Pharaoh Egypt ever had and she was arguably one of the most famous ones not only becoming a figure in history but a character in literature theater and media Cleopatra
Iith was Pharaoh in Egypt from 51 to 30 BC and it was one hell of a rign she introduced tons of reforms to improve the Egyptian economy she was an awesome Diplomat and a scholar she didn’t have things too easy though having to fight her own brother for the throne and
Having to do some diplomacy with various famous Romans things kind of fizzled out near the end but she certainly ended the line of Egyptian pharaohs with a beloved bang as was her style number one Ramsay’s II all right this one was definitely the one I thought of first
Ramsey II is arguably the most famous of all the Pharaohs he reigned for 67 years he had 96 children he had a crazy successful military campaign Conquering the Hittites syrians and Nubians no other pharaoh that we know of has been able to build like he has he lived
To the age of 90 which is insane for back then and he professed himself a god which I’m sure some people actually believed even today when we moved his remains to France for restoration he had to be given a passport that literally said King deceased under the occupation truly an incredibly influential Pharaoh
Kicking off the list at number 10 Ramses thei Ramses the Second part two you see what I’m doing here he’s considered one of the greatest if not the greatest pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty ramsis II is still considered the ruler of rulers it’s not a bad title not bad at all in
Year 30 of his Reign ramsis II was ritually transformed into an Egyptian God not bad I’m turning 30 in a few years I hope someone turns me into a God or gets me like a bike one of the two I’ll take both so it was only fair the
Spoiled Pharaoh erected a bunch of statues of himself yeah big selfies rames put up more selfies than any other pharaoh in history most famous of them the temples of Abu SEL there lies a monument dedicated to the late Queen Nefertiti and the ramum we kicked off a
Part one with ramsis signing the first ever peace treaty so so for part two we had to show some of the glamour side of him you know number nine over 100 children who is this guy Nick Cannon Ramis II is the father to over 100 children uh with that of course came the
You know 200 wives otherwise ow and how if it was just one person ow and how you know it’s guesstimated that Ramis had 96 sons and 60 Daughters of all those children rames outlived a lot of them it’s almost like living as a king helped perhaps maybe I don’t know maybe you ate
Better maybe just a hint just an idea eventually ramsis was succeeded by his 13th son with his favorite queen queen nefari giving her the fanciest tomb in the Valley of the Queens nefertari’s tomb contains paintings that some consider are the greatest works of ancient Egyptian art not bad I like
Baseball wallpaper on mine growing up tomb qv66 he spoiled his lady look at this we got to love him her tomb is 520 S M covered in beautiful art but in 1904 when nefetari’s tomb was rediscovered all that was found was her mummified knees yeah all that was left was her
Kneecaps what like who does this Raiders had stolen all the treasure prior sometime in the many moons she had been lying there and they even took her body and left her knees like what monsters they’re like yeah grab the treasure leave the patellas let let’s do it number eight ready to strike pharaohs
May have looked beautiful living and after death but they meant business okay they were protective of their land their family their many many lovers and children the symbol often worn by Pharaohs were symbols of power a nemes crown this Crown was a striped head cloth and the back of their head was
Covered with an Ora symbol AKA an upside down Cobra the Cobra symbol represents that the Pharaoh is always ready and willing to attack their enemies attack them with Venom that’s a pretty cool symbol mind is just says DC etne Shoes I’m like I don’t this says fight me if
Anything DC skate shop in my back I’m like yeah you can just attack me that’s cool number seven King Teddy the Pyramid of Teddy was built for the first ruler of the sixth Dynasty while it’s not as flashy or massive as other pyramids inside it contains the oldest writing
Ever in the religious world that is inside it contains the pyramid text these legendary texts they go all the way back to 2,400 BC the pyramid texts were specifically written so that this king king Teddy could Ascend to the heavens after his death this isn’t bizarre behavior by any means but King
Teddy he was specific he wanted to be a star like a literal star there are spells and incantations that are in this tomb meant to free the king’s Soul as he arrives in the cosmos more specifically for Teddy to become a star in the sky
And join Osiris and Orion in the # God Squad there even instructions on how to preserve the body and travel to these Heavens it’s one thing to be buried with your gold then you can live another life but to become a star I need to expand
And my dreams my gosh King Teddy was on to something here when I go in my world I’m going to be like can I become a star is that possible can I just throw me up into the heavens can I do that or bury me that’s cool bury me and Ajax that
Works number six yoer for this one we’re looking into some bull worshipping so if you’re a fan of bulls here this one’s perfect for you weirdly enough just north of the step pyramid of pharaoh doer archaeologist August Marette discovered this site in 1851 the serapium it’s a Temple dedicated to the
Egyptian deity s and it’s a combination of Osiris and apus in human form this was a large burial ground for the apis Bulls these bulls that were said to be sacred of course and after their death they would become immortal Immortal bulls that sounds badass and also terrifying that’s very scary don’t wear
Red around these guys tonight Sakara there’s a massive Vault it’s 382 yard long and it’s carved at a Sandstone Bedrock it’s huge and along the sides there’s 24 Chambers each with a sarcophagus carved out of a single chunk of granite just impossible craftsmanship all around especially at these times
Like oh my God my wrists are tired just typing about this let alone doing this inside these boxes were animal remains bones and all that jazz but back in those times you weren’t allowed to break up any bodies you had to mummify them right hence part one and where we are
Now how are these tombs built so perfectly weighing over 80 tons and also where do these bones come from I have so many questions maybe on part three we’ll answer them number five we love cats I allergic to cats but I still go I still
Pet them I risk everything just to yes I don’t care I R my entire weekend just to get my face all up in their whiskers nobody did it like ancient Egyptians you’ve probably heard this at one point or another they worshiped cats they were like you know the legendary cats that
Was that was their thing I’m more of a golden retriever guy but I get it they’re cute they respected them they worshiped them even though at the time dogs were respected for being Hunters cats were still considered magical creatures it’s cuz they just stare at randomly midc conversation a cattle just be
Like no they’re not magical they’re terrifying they’re on something if you had a cat you had good luck apparently a friend of mine has two fat cats he has some pretty good luck I think if they’re fat they’re good H when a cat passed away back in ancient Egyptian times they
Too were mummified you would think that alone was just plenty of respect but ancient Egyptians and Pharaohs they would obviously go a step further hence this fun list after their cat died they would shave their eyebrows off and would mourn them until they grew back
That’s like 3 and a half months of cat depression that’s wild that’s I I got over my childhood animal in like six business days it’s not a bad thing it’s just that’s a long time you know next time your friend tells you their cat passed away tell them if they really
Love them they would shave their eyebrows test them number four ancient Photoshop when we look back at ancient artwork we see these kings and queens well all the Pharaohs were considered Kings but it was equal at the time and they all look athletic they all look like these Warriors right they look to
Be in great shape but in reality a lot of these pharohs were were probably pretty overweight or unhealthy I mean think about it if you slam wide and bread all day plus a little dab of Honey every 8 minutes you’re going to gain some weight yeah that’s how it goes many
Of these ancient pharaohs did have diabetes and queen hatcha put who was alive during the 15th century BC her sarcophagus shows her as Slim and strong and all that jazz but almost all historians agree that she was out of shape and quite unhealthy honestly fair
I would do the exact same thing she was ahead of her time if somebody was like Hey I’m going to make a statue for you what should I make it look like I’m like no give it an AP pack make him jacked I don’t know make him look like Michael
Jordan I don’t know number three gender reveal parties okay we’ve seen all these videos online a guy goes to swing and hit a baseball he misses it hits the ground there’s a big pink cloud of smoke everyone’s like oh my God gender reveal parties right they’re pretty popular
Turns out they’re popular back in ancient Egyptian days but nobody didn’t it like them also nobody started any wildfires back there when any uh ancient Egyptians did it so that’s nice we should go take a note from them back in the day Egyptians had a pretty interesting method meod for predicting
The gender of a newborn you would have to use wheat and barley seeds you would have to pee on them and then however it grew that would determine the sex I would feel bad first of all i’ be like hi we’re curious don’t mind us just
Going to pee on your crops sir let us know how it grows we’re really raming towards a boy this time we have 96 girls so we’re going to try a couple of boys yeah depending on how the crops grew they could accurately predict the sex of
The child and it worked a lot of the time it’s pretty wild we went from watering crops to burning them down just to find out a gender tag it’s a boy number two more tattoos more tattoos for number two we love it you guys saw what I did ancient Egyptians worshiped
Animals we talked about that the whole cat stuff and the whole hippo situation in part one that was violent but what about baboons did they get any love baboons I say it weird baboons baboons they were pretty important pieces to this ancient Egyptian puzzle some mummies were found with tattoos of
Baboons on their bodies one of the most strange things pharaohs did back in ancient Egyptian days was train baboons to make arrests yep stop resisting you’re going to jail me and seven baboons let’s carry them into the car bam imagine stealing food for your family just to like try and get by and
Four baboons pop out start doing parkour and then arrest you in front of everyone that’d be so embarrassing and also alarming they train baboons to pick fruit make beer and even entertain yeah these baboons were the life of the party apparently their dance moves alone would
Be reason enough to get a tattoo in one of my arms honestly going all crazy throwing their own at people I’d be like yeah right here or here I don’t care and finally number one the afterlife one of the most fascinating Parts about these ancient Egyptian pharaohs is that they
Would pass away literally covered in Gold Head To Toe it’s nice to know that this long ago some of these kings and queens still rest Untouched by grave robbers or explorers the afterlife for these pharaohs was important and as soon as they take on the throne work is immediately underway on their tomb
That’s a little Grim when you think about it it’s like hey congratulations we’re going to start making where you’re going to be buried it’s like thanks I think these monuments took time but they were built to last and clearly they have Pharaoh’s eyes were painted black with
Coal they did this that they would look like the god Horus after they passed on kicking off the list at number 10 kv55 located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt tomb 55 otherwise known as kv55 was found by Edward arton back in 1907 it was discovered right next to King
Tutt’s tomb and the reason we call this tomb by a number rather than name is because we really don’t know who was inside it yet even the walls I side of the Tomb they aren’t covered with any hieroglyphs to tip us off or give us any
Hints it’s just bare which is kind of eerie as you walk down the 20 steps towards kv55 you’ll notice markings on the entrance markings that show that the entrance was widened since it was first cut along with its ceilings being raised higher so whatever was in there needed
The room the only hint as to who was buried remains on the walls one hieroglyph remains and it was discovered in 1907 and it translates to the evil one that shall not live again even these massive Stones were built in order to prevent anything from getting out see
Usually with these ancient tombs it’s the opposite the description for who’s inside the tomb had also been destroyed so we have no idea who or what is in kv55 number nine king TTI the Pyramid of TTI was built for the first ruler of the sixth Dynasty and while it’s not flashy
Or massive as these other pyramids the insides contain the oldest writing in the religious World pretty insane now these texts go back to 2400 BC way back when we used you know BBM the pyramid texts were specifically written so that this King Tedy could Ascend to the
Heavens after his death there are spells and incantations meant to free the king’s soul and arrive in the cosmos more specifically for Tedy to become a star in the sky and then join Osiris and Orion in the god Squad there’s even instructions on how to preserve the body
And travel to said Heavens world’s oldest instruction manual for the win number eight Queen Nefertiti after a scan was done on King tutt’s tomb they were cracks found on the North and Earth walls East Taylor East not earth there were cracks found on the north and east
Side walls so we believe that this is a secret passageway to Queen Nefertiti the ruler during the 14th century BC and also wife to King tutd Queen Nefertiti’s parents are also still unknown to this day so that adds to it and with ancient texts depicting that these kings and
Queens would leave Earth and then later return perhaps they are both descendants of extraterrestrials and this flying sundisk that they worshiped was not the Sun but rather a winged alien ancestor number seven Dozer for this one we’re looking into some bull worshipping so grab your red scarves and start waving
Them around just north of the step pyramid of the pharoh doser archaeologist August maranet discovered this site in 1851 the serapium is a Temple dedicated to the Egyptian Dei carapus a combination of Osiris and apis in human form now this was a large bual ground for the apis Bulls they were
Basically these bulls that were said to be sacred and after their death they would become immortal remember that that’s important today at Sakara there’s this massive Vault it’s 382 y yards long and it’s carved out of sandstone Bedrock it’s massive and along the sides of them are 24 Chambers each with sarcophagus
Carved out of a single chunk of granite now inside these boxes were animal remains just bones and all but back then in those times you weren’t allowed to break up any bodies that was a no-o you had to mummify them so how are these tombs built first of all so perfectly
Weighing over 80 tons and where did these bones come from perhaps these are the remains of the apus bull after all that’s the inspiration for the minitar so maybe alien an cestors looked a lot more jacked than we may think number six dung beetles this one isn’t exactly a
Pharaoh at all but it’s too good to leave out especially if we’re talking about aliens here it’s important dung beetles also known as scarabs are the only species in the entire world that follows the Milky Way think about that for a second that is let’s talk about it
Some animals follow the sun you know Turtles Sprint to the ocean the second they’re born to avoid getting plucked up by Birds now these insects would follow the line of the Milky Way and then roll their towards it literally their poop they would roll up towards the skies
Which is insane symbols of these Beatles are seen all over either in hieroglyphics or even in movies their presence is known near the sacred lake at the Temple of carac there’s a massive Scarab monument and there’s even a legend still to this day behind said statue that if you walk around it nine
Times you would find health wealth and love and you’d also probably be a little bit dizzy the Scarab is there to represent the god kre which at the time Egyptians believed was the son as well also known as a Scarab face God which terrifying when you imagine that are
These bugs just trying to get home into space to their bug alien Master why does he need so much poop whatever DIY project they’re working on in the Milky Way probably doesn’t smell too good number five Lord nefer t for this next piece of evidence we’ll be directing our
Focus to the land down under Australian aliens baby let’s do it in the Brisbane water National Park to be specific Egyptian hieroglyphs educate us on our past there’s still so much we don’t know but it’s fun to find UFO looking objects within them it’s fun to speculate as we
Are right now but when Egyptian texts appear around the world in the middle of nowhere those UFO hieroglyphs get a bit more concerning like the Gosford glyphs for example discovered in the 1970s at Kang there’s around 300 Engravings spread over two Sandstone walls the hieroglyphs are strikingly similar to
That of Egypt there’s birds even the markings of a Scarab which are those Milky Way poop pushers that I just talked about earlier egyptologist Raymond Johnson believes that this is a burial site of Egyptian royal family member Lord nefer T who met his fade around 2,600 BC with some panels telling
The story of two Prince brothers who came from Egypt and subsequently became Shipwrecked but other panels get into the Extraterrestrial goodness some of the Goss glyphs have UFO shapes with scarabs birds and sun symbols popping up as well maybe we did have alien Aid when it came to laying these royal family
Members to rest number four user calf remember earlier when I was talking about those extremely heavy Granite coffins while the sun temple in Egypt may give us more alien Clues as to their purpose the discovered in 1842 this was the base of a giant monument that apparently used to stand over 150 ft
Tall built by the Pharaoh usera founder of the fifth dynasty of Egypt the temple translates to stronghold of rah rah being the sun god this Temple at Abu garab was home to one of the world’s largest monoliths and its purpose May blow your mind this Obelisk was built
Out of granite now they made things out of granite back then because it contained quartz quartz due to piso electricity was able to convert the Earth’s vibrations into energy ncol Tesla did something similar he figured out standing waves which was the ability to pass energy through the air perhaps
These Granite monoliths were used to teleport people or Goods that would explain the last point about those Australian glyphs to be fair I have zero idea how Bluetooth works either alien air dropped in Egypt I’m here for this Theory number three kufu in order to become a God in the afterlife these
Kings would build massive temples or pyramids the Giza pyramids were built over 4,500 years ago and to this day they draw about 15 million visitors a year year farro kufus is the largest pyramid in Giza and it was the first pyramid that they started to build obviously taking the longest reaching up
To 147 M High it took 2.3 million rocks to create this landmark and its alignment with Orion’s Belt gives it an extraterrestrial Vibe and with Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk tweeting aliens built the pyramids oby we now have to ask just how did thousands of workers achieve this
The placement of the pyramid is also unique as well it’s aligned perfectly with the cardinal directions north south East and West that much accuracy back then with the stars and the earth and the heavens they must have gotten help from alien friends or else they had the world’s biggest protractor number two
King Tut only a few years after King tutt’s tomb was discovered in the Valley of the Kings archaeologist Howard Carter found two daggers that were buried with said King it’s not uncommon to be buried with your goods it’s why Egyptians would build these tombs in a certain way so
That grave robbers would Snoop around and steal your entire family heritage it was made so nothing could get out which is insane but but two daggers were found with King Tut one made of iron and the other gold now with iron being even more rare than gold in the Bronze Age this
Was a big deal and with recent advancements in technology we were able to use a technique called portable x-ray fluorescent spectometry and according to the journal meteorites in the planetary science the blade is actually made of iron nickel and Cobalt suggesting that this material is of extraterrestrial
Origin and finally number one the Great Pyramid of chalula there are many parallels between Egyptian and Maya civiliz ations the two cultures are so far apart both in time and distance and they also never made contact but both pyramids are made with steps and both have stone serpents The Vault arches are
Also strikingly similar and hieroglyphs within share a lot of the same symbolism these hieroglyphs include advanc mathematics that they say was bestowed upon them also from these Sky Gods starting off our list at number 10 the first peace treaty unusual at the time absolutely the first peace treaty in
History was back in 1271 BC at this point in history Egyptians and the hidi empire were fighting over modern-day Syria this conflict had been lasting centuries and come 1274 BC the Battle of cadesh was finally underway tons of Bloodshed no clear Victor in sight what’s left to do now at this
Point ramsis II and King hatus the third both negotiated a peace treaty where both sides would Aid each other if a third party decided to get involved a copy of the treaty can be found right now in New York above the entrance to the United Nations security Council
Chamber it’s also in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest peace treaty ever that’s how you know it’s official our man Guinness confirms it boom that’s how you know moving on number nine game night I love board games and honestly that includes Monopoly I have the patience for it
Every now and then you know passing go I’m like okay I’ll pay the tax I’m respecting this game so far but ancient Egyptians turns out they also loved board games dogs and Jackal Meen Senate and 20 squares those are some popular games mahen was played during the pre-dynastic period around 20 ,500 BC
And the goal here was to reach the center of the Spiral the board was a coiled snake almost Senate was the most popular game Kings and Queens alike would play this one senate had a long board with 30 squares painted on it of course the rules are still unknown
Heavily debated just like Monopoly today I’m like is it 200 or 100 are we sure but now we have some ideas how Egyptians played Senate there were three rows of 10 squares the last five were always decorated now it’s assumed this game was themed on the afterlife Plus
Tut was buried with one of these boards so that’s definitely something to do with it and there’s also some paintings of Queen Nefertiti playing Senate so you know it was addictive it looks a lot like chess imagine playing a pharaoh in chess my Palms are already so sweaty
Number eight glamour makeup and ancient Egyptian culture was key not only did they wear makeup and smell good because they wanted to resemble the very gods they believed in but makeup had a practical use as well in the daily life of a pharaoh they believed makeup gave you protection from
The Gods raw and Horus they would put together these Beauty kits by grinding down Malachite and Galina and then they would create the substance called coal there wasn’t a lot of blending back then makeup was often applied directly to the skin using wood or bone and it wasn’t
Just the ladies as well men wore makeup and perfume of course you got to look good and smell good be like have you seen them what I I want to wear some of this they smell like beautifulness they smell like the afterlife they smell amazing Egyptians believed makeup had
Healing abilities and honestly they weren’t wrong makeup back then had enough lead in them so eye infections would stay away ideally number seven Cleopatra’s methods male rulers took the name toomy and queens were Cleopatra her lineage runs deep in the heart of Egypt but Cleopatra fun fact she was not
Actually Egyptian she was the last Greek ruler of Egypt and after Alexander the Great’s death in 323 bcee toy then took over Egypt which in turn launched this new wave this dynasty of Greek rulers that lasted centuries as Cleopatra got older she was determined to learn Egyptian and due to political structure
She started to style herself as the Goddess Isis and then in comes Julius Caesar Julius Caesar had a history of his own obviously and his rather than family and power was filled more with you know lust more than anything he was known to sleep around and then use their
Power after doing the dirty when these two cross paths history was never the same in October of 50 BCE Cleopatra had fled to Syria once there she established an army and returned 2 years later to face her brother Cleopatra knew that during this time she needed all the
Support she could get specifically now from the Romans at the same time Caesar was looking to collect debts from Cleopatra’s father so they both relied on each other in some way it was a match made in heaven your most compatible has been updated write swipe I would write
Swipe on Alexander the Great for sure be like who’s this handsome man nicknamed bald adulterer okay you know he’s trouble number six King Tut one of the greatest Mysteries is of course the history of the young King Tut the young boy became Pharaoh at just age
9 in 1332 BC but during his time of ruling the young king had to face a country in Conflict Egypt and Nubia were going head to-head over land and not even 10 years into ruling the young Pharaoh died at age 18 it wasn’t until 1922 until he was seen again Howard
Carter discovered the Tomb of the Lost King appropriately in the Valley of the Kings this is where we could have been more careful here in history sure it’s exciting finding mummies and discovering your history and all that jazz but when King Tut was discovered they tried to
Move his body out of the oil that coated the coffin but in doing so they damaged him so now it’s next to impossible to tell what really took his life at such an early age we have some ideas though it’s not entirely hopeless it’s believed
Right now that King Tut had a broken leg after some 3D scans were done it appears the king wasn’t in the best shape prior he may have fallen off of a chariot so if Ted passed away at an early age out of nowhere this could mean another
Mystery is a foot number five Queen Nefertiti’s resting place so yes on one hand three 3D scanning technology is vital when it comes to these ancient sites we’re able to figure out king tutt’s medical issues from thousands of years ago it’s impressive it’s great but thanks to this new technology we’re also
Finding hidden Chambers in these tombs as well another theory surrounding the Queen the Lost Queen Nefertiti is that King T’s chamber was actually meant for her the former Antiquities Minister doesn’t believe this at all he strongly stands by his belief that the Lost Queen was one of the female mummies found in
The Valley of the Kings but King Tut passed away at age 19 so many believed that his own burial chamber at that point wasn’t even built yet so instead they had to use hers they had to improvise a radar survey conducted around the Tomb in the Valley of the
Kings shows us a possible hidden chamber right behind the north wall of the burial chamber we still haven’t found her final resting place but perhaps this recent 2021 discovery of an ancient city will hold us off until then look at this we missed this on the news where was all
This crazy number four a fake beard not really unusual considering the times but this is definitely worth a mention long before CLE atra haut was the first woman to obtain power as a pharaoh she was the sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty and there were only just a few that were
Women in total but during her Reign back in the mid 1400s BC following the death of thos II she was determined on being portrayed as a male this was her goal this was her vision the Pharaoh fake beard massive muscles historians believe this was done as an act of politics it
Was done on purpose to make a point after her passing come 1458 BC her stepson then took the throne th mus III and then he destroyed everything in her name and image well mostly everything number three no more religion this was a huge deal in ancient Egypt rightfully so
The Pharaoh aadatan thought it would be a great idea to just end multiple religious beliefs yep just uh stop okay now we just do the one traditional Egyptian culture would believe in multiple gods but this Pharaoh couldn’t keep up so he convinced everybody to believe in just one God Aton while only
Days after his passing the people of Egypt said screw that we’re going to go back to multiple beliefs that was working a lot better for us thank you sir and then also we’re destroying every piece of evidence that involves you for trying that nonsense yeah temples cooking pots anything with his image
Gone and ideally forgotten it wasn’t until the 19th century when we realized this Pharaoh once ruled number two hippo problems do you have any idea how fast hippos are in real life I had no clue my entire life they’re really fast they fly at you they’re like dinosaurs Hipp can
Run as fast as 50 km an hour yeah I’ll just lead with that Pharaoh menz was Egypt’s first pharaoh ever so it felt fitting to include some pet problems in our list we don’t know much about the Lost Pharaoh because well for starters he was alive a very long time ago 3000
BC that’s where we’re talking what we do know for certain is that king menes ruled over Egypt during a peaceful time and he was stomped to death by a hippo it’s literally how his history.com says it in that order this King spent over 60 years on the throne and a hippo got him
I don’t think there’s a harder way way to go out honestly in my opinion it’s a mystery still thousands of years later but look at zoos today I don’t know maybe a hippo didn’t like living like a king maybe he wanted to live like Shrek and just splash around and be dirty he’s
An animal he’s literally a hippo you know and finally coming in at number one A Renewed passport I’ll be honest right now I currently have no idea where my passport is Chris do you know where yours is yeah wow we have an adult here wow an adult that’s lovely I always
Panic and search for it 13 hours before a flight I am the worst travel with passports are important obviously and they’re a pain in the to replace but did you know you can still get one even if you’ve been dead for I don’t know thousands of years there’s a fun fact
Pharaoh Ramis II one of ancient Egypt’s greatest rulers got a passport back in 1974 yeah you heard me after being accumed and put on display for so long it was decided it’s time to send the Lost King off to Paris to get you know a little touched up being dead that long
And all now obviously you’re not going to list this Pharaoh as luggage that’s so rude so the Egyptian government gave Ram to Second his own official Egyptian passport for his commute on the passport he had his age his occupation King obviously and in case it wasn’t clear it
Was stated that the King 2 was deceased anyone who’ve seen the mummy can obviously you know relax at that point kicking off the list that number 10 got a passport Ramis II is known as one of the greatest ancient Egyptian rulers of all time he was called Ramis the great
So that’s a good sign already at a young age he fought in harsh battles to protect the borders of Egypt and during his reign the Egyptian Army reached 100,000 men that’s a pretty large army he was later referred to as the great ancestor and it didn’t take long for
Ramsis II to declare himself a god it’s always fun being like hey by the way I’m a God now that’s how cool I am 30 years into his ruling Ramses was ritually turned into an Egyptian God it was a formal thing though it wasn’t until 3,000 years later until Ramses would
Truly soar through the skies he was buried in his treasure after 96 Years of Living and in 1974 he finally started to show signs of aging not too bad he went from being on display to being sent to Paris to get a glow up you know to preserve the king’s body even longer
Instead of being listed as luggage on the way to Paris the Pharaoh was given an official Egyptian passport for the commute the government gave a mummy a passport this is like the first 5 minutes of a horror film under occupation it even said King and there was even a small disclaimer noting that
He was in fact still dead can never be too sure you know number nine baboon tattoos ancient Egyptians worshiped animals this is common knowledge now at this point we’ve heard about their love towards cats which I’ll explain later on but what about baboons yeah they were pretty important pieces to this ancient
Puzzle as well some mummies were found with tattoos of baboons on their bodies now one of the most strange things that pharaohs did back in ancient Egyptian days was train baboons to make arrests imagine stealing a pair for your family and then four baboons start doing parkour chasing you down that’s so
Alarming I would just throw it and be like please stop you’re so scary and strong they train baboons to pick fruit they train them to make beer and they also train them to entertain yeah these baboons were the life of the party their dance moves alone would be reason enough
To tattoo one on my arm so you know what I get it get a harambe tattoo I’m like you know it’s I I see it I see the similarities number eight worship dung beetles so worshiping a baboon that dances and makes holiday alses yeah I can see how one would worship such a
Creature that makes sense but Pharaoh’s also worship dung beetles and their reasoning may surprise you dung beetles also known as scarabs are the only species in the entire world that follows the Milky Way naturally animals are born with Natural Instincts sea turtles Race To The Sea these guys follow the cosmos
It’s pretty wild it’s one thing to follow the sun naturally cuz it gives off warmth sunflowers will literally turn their head to find the sun which is super creepy but it’s beautiful these insects would follow the line of the Milky Way and then roll their poop
Towards it they’d be like hello smky way and they just hieroglyphs of these Beatles are seen all over like near the sacred lake at the Temple of Carnac for example there’s a massive Scarab monument and today if you walk around it nine times you get good luck and don’t worry you
Don’t have to roll any droppings at the same time don’t get dizzy that’s all it’s the Only Rule the Scarab is there to represent the god kefri which ancient Egyptians believed was the son I grew up thinking the son was a baby but that’s cuz I watched teletypes so you know
Depends number seven surprise each other Cleopatra and Julius Caesar were a pretty beneficial couple to say the least Cleopatra would use Caesar’s armies which in turn would allow her to rule Egypt while Caesar was eyeing down Cleopatra’s extreme wealth they were the perfect pair she was able to financially
Support Caesar enough for him to return to power back in Rome but how did such a perfect pair meet in the first place did Cleopatra swipe right h no well a then 52-year-old Julius Caesar visited the much younger Cleopatra so she then sent a surprise gift to his Chambers she got
Her crew to roll her up in a carpet or bed sheets it’s not really confirmed something along those lines and then delivered her to his door completely nude he unraveled a naked Cleopatra and he’s like okay hello that’s pretty impressive Cleopatra was down for fun surprises while we don’t recommend this
As an approach ever it’s one worth mentioning on our list number six gender reveal parties we’ve all seen those videos a guy goes to hit a baseball he misses it the baseball breaks and there’s pink dust all around his feet and he starts crying it’s wonderful gender reveal parties were quite popular
You know until they started lighting wildfires but back in the day Egyptians had a pretty interesting method for predicting the gender of a newborn instead of peeing on a pregnancy test you would have to use wheat and barley seeds instead depending on how those barley crops grew they could accurately
Predict the sex of the child they were right 85% of the time which is quite impressive back in the day we went from watering crops to burning them # it’s a boy number five space knife only a few years after King tutt’s tomb was discovered in the Valley
Of the Kings archaeologist Howard Carter found two daggers that were buried with the King now like I mentioned earlier it’s not uncommon to be buried with your treasure or belongings it’s why ancient Egyptians would build these tombs in a certain way so grave robbers can’t just
Sneak in after you pass away and then take all of your goodies so two daggers were found with King Tut one made of iron and the other with gold now with iron being more rare than gold during the Bronze Age this was quite a big deal with recent advancements in technology
We’re able to use a technique called portable x-ray fluorescent spectometry and according to the journal meteorites in planetary science the blade is actually made of iron nickel and Cobalt suggesting that its material is that of extraterrestrial origin a blade fell from the sky and now a king has it
That’s pretty insane also aliens just saying number four KV 55 also located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt tomb 55 otherwise known as kv55 was found by Edward Aron back in 1907 it was discovered right next to King tutt’s tomb and the reason that we call this
Tomb by a number rather than a name is because we really don’t know for sure who’s inside even the walls of the tombs inside they aren’t carved with beautiful hieroglyphs to tip us off on their history or their ruling it’s just bare the only hint as to who was buried
Remains on the walls it’s one hieroglyph that remains and it was discovered also in 1907 and it translates simply to the evil one shall not live again that’s very scary that’s definitely scarier than Greg was here I don’t know even massive Stones were built and set up in order to prevent
Anything from getting out whereas usually with ancient tombs it’s the opposite so that’s pretty scary the description for those inside the tomb has also been destroyed so we have really no idea who’s in kv55 or what number three ancient Photoshop when we look back at ancient artwork we see
These kings and queens and they look athletic they look to be in great shape when in reality these sparrows were probably quite obese I mean think about it if you slam wine and bread all day and you have baboons dancing around plus a little dab of Honey every I don’t know
8 minutes yeah you’re going to gain some weight many of these ancient pharaohs had diabetes and queen hap sheput who was alive during the 15th century BC her scatophagus chose her as Slim and strong but historians all agree that she was out of shape and extremely unhealthy
Honestly I would do the exact same if I was there back then she was ahead of her time if somebody made a statue for me I’d be like yeah give it an eight pack make him extremely jacked in 72 can we do that sure no one’s going to ask
Questions I’m Dwayne the Rock Johnston just write it down please number two worship cats I’m allergic to cats but I still love them I still pet them I ruin my entire night just to get my face right there next to their cute little furry face but ancient Egyptians like I
Said earlier really loved cats they respected them they worship them even though at the time dogs were respected for being Hunters cats were still considered magical creatures so if there’s ever a cat vers dog argument going on on your end of the screen cats wi I’m allergic and I’m still saying
Cats went that’s that’s huge if you had a cat it means you had good luck when cats passed away they too were mummified back in the day you would think that alone was plenty of respect but ancient Egyptians and Pharaohs want a step further after their cat died they would
Shave their eyebrows off and then mourn until they grew back that’s like 3 and 1/2 months of cat depression that’s wild next time your friend tells you that their cat passed away tell them that if they really love them they’ll shave their eyebrows off and then see what
They say also you don’t have to make your friends shave their eyebrows let’s leave this one in the past that’s one just be sad with eyebrows be like H number one fight a hippo Egypt’s first pharaoh menz although we know next to nothing about his history there is something there that has historians
Scratching their heads to this day at his early time the Pharaoh was setting out to unite all of Egypt under his rule the time that he ruled as well is considered a rather peaceful time when comparing it to years later we know that he was well respected and
We also know that after his 63 years of peaceful ruling he was stomped to death by a hippo that’s horrible that’s a horrible way to go out he was an elderly ruler at the time he was surrounded by guards and somehow a hippo got all the way to his
Chambers a hippo and then ended the pharaoh’s life some suggest that the reason there’s nothing written about this Pharaoh’s tragic horrible demise is because it’s possible that the hippo was his pet this is why you don’t try and tame Beast as a pet perhaps this was an
Early similar situation as the Sig freed and Roy tiger attack just stick to smaller magical cats they’re much safer they won’t stop you to death oh my God it’s horrible guys those were just 10 of the many mysterious things ancient Egyptian pharaohs did from worshiping Milky Way dung beetles to showing up
Naked at somebody’s front door those times were pretty wild number 10 overshadowed and the beard Hot Chip sit for a long while was content to play the supporting role among Egypt’s Royals but when she decided she wasn’t anymore things took a turn she was the daughter
Of thos the first and wife/ sister to her half brother thos II I know don’t worry I’ll dress it later in the video stay tuned when he died in 1479 BC and left their son as Heir she took on the role as Regent to thos the third but she
Basically just acted as the rightful ruler as the young king came of age finally she declared herself Pharaoh the strangest part was that she chose to portray herself in pictures as a man with a male body and a false beard she said that the god Amun was her father
And insisted that he commanded her to take charge of Egypt who’s going to argue with a God right but no one could quite explain the issue with the beard nevertheless during her Reign it was a time of peace and prosperity for Egypt number nine costerus costerus was one of
The greatest military commanders in Egyptian history who was celebrated for the extent of his conquests he stretched the kingdom further than anyone before him but he was not without his quirks according to accounts by Herodotus costus left pillars on every Battlefield along with the usual bragging and
Boasting of how he won he would carve into them images of genitalia like people do on the bathroom stalls you know if he thought that his enemy fought valiantly he carved a if he thought they didn’t put much of a fight he would carve a great yeah that just goes to show what
He thought about things huh the latter was a sign of disrespect for his subdued enemies while the other was a sign of Honor like hey man you stuck it to me apparently some even stood the test of time lasting over 1500 years and seen firsthand by Herodotus himself for those
Of you who don’t know for reference Herodotus is considered as the father of historians one of the very first to take up the task number eight ceremonial seating the whole idea by the Pharaohs was that they were direct descendants from the gods themselves therefore they too had deific powers and had the
Capability of restoring life to the land the Nile River had significant importance to the people of Egypt it provided fertile soil and water irrigation it was pretty awesome in order to ensure its abundance would continue pharaohs would organize a festival where they would ceremoniously fill it with their
Seed yeah yeah some historians believe that this was in honor of the creation story of how life came to be and therefore it was kind of like a fertility Festival crowds would gather at the Nile and await the arrival of their Pharaoh they would then dis robe
And give their pleasure into the river to ensure its Bounty some historians say it was just the pharaoh who did this While others say that the men joined in after evidence Still Remains pretty slim as to whether this really did happen so take this one with a grain of salt but
That’s not to say that there isn’t any evidence at all that it did happen so there number seven deliver me naked Cleopatra is known as one of the most beautiful women in history but this could be due to how she used her feminine WS to get what she wanted her
Beauty and cunning became became renowned as a result while other queens like the one I mentioned before concealed their beauty Cleopatra was all about shown it off cuz girl if you got it blunt it in order to help secure the political Ally and power connected to Caesar Cleopatra knew how to make an
Entrance and knew how to win over a guy it’s pretty easy he was around 52 when they met and the Egyptian queen was just like 20 and in her prime so she looked great she smuggled herself into Alexandria where Caesar was staying had her servant tie her up in a bed sack
Naked and carried indoors the Caesar and she was like have out her buddy in other words she wrapped her naked body in a carpet made Caesar’s jaw drop to the floor and secured one of the most beneficial unions on the spot honestly not really messed up kind of badass honest just do
Your thing work it girl I dream of having that confidence with my clothes on you know what I mean go girl you got this you get that Empire number six cats and the battle ancient Egypt would have welcomed the film the adaptation of cats unlike the rest of the world with open
Arms and probably would have built a shrine to it giant human cats eating human cockroaches would be revered bottom line cats in ancient Egypt were worshiped and treated like family it was considered a crime punishable by death to harm one due to the belief in the goddess bastad one Pharaoh even risked
Losing a battle because of cats themselves the Battle of pelium of 525 BCE between Pharaoh siic III and the Persian king kusus II resulted in the first Persian conquest of Egypt all because of cats kusus took advantage of the cat-loving side of Egypt and used hostages of cats and animals as leverage
So they were just kind of like well we can’t we can’t fight if the cats are let loose what are we going to do we can’t kill the cats and that’s that’s uh how they lost that battle number five honeyco who here hates bugs bothering them in the summer
Unless they’re Bumblebee because we love bumblebees here right guys but me too no one likes the buzzing of blood suckers nipping at your skin while you’re chilling out on the beach or barbecue well guess what Egyptian pharaohs hated it too except they didn’t have bug spray
So what did they do well you know the phrase you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar well they took that literally conveniently they had servants around them at all times so to help with the bug problem they covered them with honey so as to distract the bees and the
Bugs so as the pharaoh’s lounged on the sand or wherever they were their dutiful servants took on the job of taking on the bug bites King Pepe for instance had a dedicated slave in his Entourage who endured it every day poor guy it was so effective that he had one designated in each
Room poor guys number four assassins this wasn’t necessarily something that he did but something that happened to him that was pretty messed up as you can guess from the title it involved assassins Ramsey II third had a lot on his plate during his Reign there were this group of sea farers trying to
Destroy everyone the two tomb Builders did their first labor strike over wage delays I get you the economy was deteriorating weather was devastating food production things were corrupt as hell and on top of all this his secondary wife ta hated his guts she along with a dozen members of his herum
The head of the treasury a military Captain a butler the butler did it and the chief Royal Chamberlain hatched an assassination plot in 2012 researchers used a high-powered CT scanner on Ramsay’s mummy and saw a massive throat gash covered by an ambulet said to have healing powers the researchers
Summarized that an assassin cut through Rams his esophagus and trachea killing him practically instantly cuz he probably would have just let out that fast some other research suggest that this happened before the other assassination plot unraveled but either way not a good way to go number three
Till death do us part remember that thing I mentioned at the beginning well if you were a servant to a pharaoh in ancient Egypt you were hoping that your dude lived a long time because once they bite the dust so did you now keep in mind ancient Egyptians believed strongly
In the afterlife so when you died you didn’t just disappear you literally just traveled to another world that’s the whole idea behind religion anyway the discovery team organized by NYU Yale and the University of Pennsylvania discovered macabra evidence of this tradition while Excavating the mortuary ritual site of pharaoh AA they found six
Graves not far from his tomb they were skeletons of Court officials servants Artisans who appear to have been sacrificed to serve the Pharaoh in the afterlife aha’s successor deir had more than 200 which are also presumed to be sacrificial burials as well number two marrying your siblings again remember
The thing I mentioned before and now I’m actually getting to it promised I promised and here we are not so long ago it was normal to court your very own cousin but today that would be considered very large taboo I’m not going to lie it gives me the skibbies
Okay I don’t like imagining even marrying my cousins that’s weird to me but the ancient Egyptians took things even farther or should I say brought it closer by marrying their very own siblings hey that’s one way to guarantee that the line will stay in the family but knowing what we know about the
Genetic pool being too closed and the complications that can arise there’s things that can go wrong but nevertheless it happened DNA testing from King tutt’s corpse revealed that he was a product of Union between two siblings Pharaoh’s believed that they were descended from the gods therefore
Keeping it in the family was crucial in maintaining that bloodline King Tod even married his own half sister same dad when he was just 10 years old however generations of inbreeding resulted in a bone disease that got more severe each time Cleopatra also married her own
Brother as well that was a that was a whole thing and then she met Caesar and that whole thing we talked about yeah that thing let’s move on number one aonan one of the most polarizing figures in Egyptian history ainan tried to get rid of religion and as a result they got
Rid of him ainan earned the title of herit king and a recent discovery has revealed that his deeds might have been a lot darker aonan came to power in the 1350s and reigned for around 17 years he is known for creating a new religion surrounding attin who was generally
Represented as a sundisk sometime around his fourth year he started sending out agents to erase names and images of certain Gods from existing texts and monuments around the fifth year he claimed to discover the location of the new Royal City and moved Egypt’s capital from thieves to akatan today known as
Tel L amarna there his people suffered greatly under slave labor with bodies being uncovered younger than 20 many with bones broken spines broken along with evidence of severe malnutrition when the Pharaoh finally passed his tomb remained unfinished and his name was stricken from the history books at least now we can see Why O
