Egyptologist Answers Google’s Most Popular Questions About Ancient Egypt

Why are modern human obsessed with cats?

Egypt 100%black people origin ❤❤❤

Not tombs !

this guy has heterochromia

First I thought: Is this guy really an expert ?. But then I though: he just doesn't want to give inaccurate answers, and maybe he isn't used to camera in his face

I still can't believe that these people who claim to study the history of Egypt still claim the pyramids were built as "tombs". There's way more evidence that this wasn't the case than there is for it.

Egypt is basically like the beta version of Rome which did all of what Egypt did but better and more efficiently.

Pyramids were not Tombs. How do I know what he doesn’t?? 🤦‍♂️

Why do they always choose the dumbest and most ignorant questions that anyone who paid attention in 5th grade already knows, 🙄.

When people ask what Egyptians look like why do they never mention their dark skin or them being black? Always trying to keep a mystery of their skin colour even though we’ve see in paintings, statues and artefacts that they were. Obviously after time and the invasion of Islam on Egypt started to lighten the skin and mix ethnicities etc. I know obviously not all Egyptians were black as near the end of the reign they had Macedonians present. But it would be nice for people to acknowledge it.

I think that any ancient civilization that stored grain was obsessed with cats. Or rather they were obsessed with the idea of keeping mice and rodents out of their grain stores.

Its very likely they were paid construction workers, not unlike we have today.

History hit is an awesome channel. But this guy was the worst choice. Didnt know anything

Not very convincing he is.

This is certainly a very candid interview. Seems like there was no prep done before the camera rolled. lol

I always thought the Ancient Egyptians wore eyeliner to keep the sun from their eyes. If you look at tabby cats, they naturally have that 'eyeliner' black marking around their eyes and it helps as a sun block. I hope someone can verify.

The Egyptians used eye liner due to the sun glare, putting dark lining under your eyes will A: help prevent long term blindness. B: Saves the skin of sun wrinkling. C: Beauty was a huge thing for them and makeup is for beauty.

Discernment rather than Judgemental:
Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists,/Egyptologsts
will realize that the "Standards of Science and Research" will remain the value and ethical code of practice because they aid in reaching the Greater Facts, and reject all Belief, Theories, Opinions, and all the "Lower Mind aka Ego Mind aka Adolescent Mind" ideas/ideologies.

"Mainstream Academics" holds ia "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline used as their foundation of fact."

The "Standards of Science and Research" prohibits using a Theory as Fact. Supports Freedom of Thought and qualifying Alternative Theories based on facts, artifacts, other Science data, and Peer Reviewed Science Findings.

"Higher Mind aka Mature Mind aka Adult Mind" holds all our Positive Thought Energies and is where Wisdom resides. This 8s why the original Academic teachings included the practice of being in the Higher Mind.

Those whom adhere to the "Standards of Science and Research" are known as "Authentic Academics".

Interesting he dodged the race question which is what the question about appearance was all about. Those old Egyptians liked to remove a lot of their body hair, I guess that climate isn't good for hairy people and hygiene. My question: What wonderful and useful things did the Egyptians create? Pyramids and desiccated corpses not included, since they are a waste of time, money and weird.

Many of these "we don't exactly know" answers are... false. We know. Let's not give way to insane and ridiculous theories by omitting reasonable explanations and simple facts from these discussions.

Cats literally have been first domesticated in that region... not just in Egypt, but very much including Egypt. And by domesticated I mean they domesticated themselves. And out of all the other concurrect civilizations, Egyptians were indeed the most fascinated by them.

This video was void of any info really. Cats were important because they eat mice that destroyed their grain storage.

He’s definitely not in the mood for answering today huh

Boring

For people disappointed greatly by this video like I was, I recommend a similar video by Wired where another Egyptologist answers questions much better.

Also, im no expert but saying that you dont know most of these qns, heavily implies that some of the feats the egyptians had achieved were impossible and could encourage the wrong ideas. There are indeed a few ways ancient egyptians could have carved granite and built the pyramids through. The only thing is, we don't know which method they used specifically. Regardless, they were perfectly capable of doing so and answering this question with 'idk' implies otherwise imo.

This guy is wrong on so many counts..... than again, there is so much history to Ancient Egypt.

Reading the comments.. It occurs to me (and I'm not immune to it) that we act very entitled and ungrateful for any knowledge from an expert that is entirely free. I think to 20 years ago and I didn't have these resources at my fingertips. Back then I didn't even have regular internet without my phone. And there was no just watching or listening to random free things online. You had to buy almost everything, upload your own CDs or burn your own CDs.. If you didn't have "cable TV", we call ours DSTv, or back then mnet. You had just 3 free channels on TV. Most not in your language. Shows like Dr Phil and The Bold and the Beautiful during the day. Nowadays one doesn't need to even own a TV. Just chill and enjoy the gift. 😅

The best part of ancient egyptians is that they gave us beer.

Its funny how so many people are complaining about all the "i/we dont know" answers when there's so much debate in the comments. 🤣

More false assumptions and fake narratives in this guys answers than at a Trump rally in the Midwest… 🤦‍♂️

why were Egyptologists trying to remove Egypt from Africa by whitewashing African history?

this man answer NOTHING

Gods in human forms !!!! hmm, that sounds like what some people believe even today....

Here's a question: Where is the definitive evidence that the Egyptians built the pyramids? It seems unlikely that those puny people could have constructed such massive structures without the aid of advanced technology or machinery."

This guy has all the personality of a can of paint. White paint. Matte.

Um can we get the woman Egyptologist back🥱 her answers were way more interesting and engaging

Come on now, we bring in an expert to answer our questions and half his answers are a lot of words that really mean 'I don't know '

If my house were in an archeological dig in a thousand years from now, it might be speculated that the US Midwest was obsessed with cats.
I do love cats and I have always had rescues living with me. As a result, I have lots of amazing cat related art that friends and family have gifted me.

i feel like this guy is like… not all that knowledgeable

The beauty of ancient Egypt, more than anything, lies in the gaps they left to be filled by our imagination.

I respect the honesty of "We don't know" but another egyptologist on Wired's version of this had definitive answers. So what are we supposed to understand or believe if there isn't a consensus.

Thanks Chris

I'm sure that ale was also drunk for the caloric and nutritional values

Not the most exciting expert but I certainly learned a few new things

they were pure black...Jews were lighter Hebrew/dirty skin people...

The brain was also removed

Stone pounders for cutting rocks 😂

I prefer the answer from engineers; the rocks were laser cut.

boring explanations 😂

Joe Rogan would be bored with his answers. Lol. Where are the aliens?

You guys should work with Jimmy Yu, or Guo Gu, a professor at Florida State in Tallahassee, Florida. He has a wealth of knowledge about China’s history and the transmission of Buddhism, he knows so much that would be valuable to share with the public in this way!
