Joann is by far the best Egyptologist out there!! Her passion, her vast knowledge, her true understanding of the culture, her lovely, lilting voice, and her enjoyable prosody... I watched, rapt with attention and enjoyment! What an incredible series of documentaries on Egypt. Thank you for these absolute gems!!

Her reaction to Amenhotep's head after 7:20 shows just how much she loves her subject. She had a genuine and profound emotional reaction there, looked like she was about to faint she was so blown away by it. I love learning from people like this, their enthusiasm for their subject makes it easier to be enthusiastic alongside them.

Truly is bizarre how old Ancient Egypt is. The first pharaoh was further away in time to Julius Caesar than we are to him...mind boggling.

The level of passion that Joane has for her work should be a example for everyone. When you put your heart in a subject there's nothing you can't achieve. Such an inspiration

Her enthusiasm about Egypt and everything she sees is the the best part about this journey! She is a great host!

I just love her docs...I call her the " Mary Poppins of Egypt". Please keep up the great work .

Am I the only one who has replayed the part where she sees the pharaoh's head for the first time? The emotions! Felt like I was there with her. Makes you understand what a big deal that was. Also incredible that there are monuments that take us back thousands of years back still standing today. Simply breathtaking.

I can listen to anything this lady puts out ..she amazing explaining Egypt...no ufo's, no demons, just real people life stories!!

When she speaks of the scribe losing his sight, her compassion for how he must have felt to lose his sight...I just felt how sorry she felt for him. So eloquently spoken and loves her subject. Great host. Cheers. 🥂

just wanted to say, whenever im in a bad mood, all i need is to hear this wonderful lady giggle or marvel at the sight before her, then my mood is better. Such a beautiful soul...

I always loved Egyptology as a kid. The architecture, the culture, the religion, it was all so fascinating.

The Golden Mask with Obsidian eyes is stunning.

I hope Professor Joann won an award for this documentary because she is fabulous. I love her human and genuine reactions when she sees things for the first time. And incredible footage of her walking alone in the dessert and in the ruins--- all in black and with her umbrella. Classic.

I love Joann’s documentaries. Always so thorough, with great commentary. She’s amazing & her work deserves more credit than it receives.

I almost forgot he was Tutankhamun's grandfather.

Look how much passion she has for Egypt I really admire how much knowledge she has and how she puts it across is so cool because I can understand it

The Professor is just amazing. Thoroughly enjoying this series, just imagine after years of studying to still be soooooo enthusiastic and in awe; she practically cried at the sight of the head of alabaster.

I don't know why, but all of this stealing and mishandling of the pharaohs mummies really made me angry. Imagine seeing more undisturbed tombs, not only King Tut's. So much lost.

Her face when she revealed the head of the statue! I love her as a host her passion is radiant!

Why did 1000 people thumbs down? It is history and not opinions. Lol It is very interesting and the narrator draws me in. 🙃

i demand more of her on my television screens!

Ancient Egypt was the first ancient civilization I ever learned about. It was a 80's documentary, I love her documentaries about this period since I was a child. She makes me feel like I did when I was younger...

Ive seen this womans house .. Its just as amazing as Egypt itself .

Not sure how 1.4k people dislike a documentary from Joann. I think she is great...

These are great. Professor Fletcher has a real emotional connection to her subject. Good stuff.

5:56 I love the fact they have the same colour hair!

Her enthusiasm mirrors my own love for this history. It's so refreshing

What i most adore of Ancient Egypt, is how big their patience to make a huge temple, carving stone, digging mountain to make tomb..with only simple tool, its awesome

The fact that new tombs are being discovered till this day, only 25/3/2020 a new tomb was discovered and it's was preserved perfectly

She is such a great host!

I would love to visit Egypt. Ive always been fascinated by it.

This is a most wonderful and informative documentary. The amount of information given is totally amazing and so,fascinating and vivid that you don’t want it to end !! Prof Fletcher obviously loves her subject - you can tell this by the way she imparts her very special story. She feels and lives her subject passing her thrill of the information she has to pass on to her listeners. No deadpan teacher this but an amazing thrilling imparting of Egypt’s golden age. Thank you so much, I could listen to this Egyptian history forever. No wonder it still fascinates us after 3000 years Pro Fletcher loves her subject and passes this love onto the listener/viewer. More and more please

I just love these Egypt documentaries and she is such a wonderful host and person!!! She makes each episode that much better! I love ancient Egypt, thank you for these! ❤️

I just love Ancient Egypt

to bad the 1800s and 1900s just devastated everything. imagine what was in here before it was ransacked by treasure hunters for 200 years.

Great discovery of Dr. Joan. She has eleborated the entire archaeological findings of Amenhotep III very vividly. Well done Madam. Thanks for your valuable contribution to the Egyptian history.

She really engages you with her presentation.

Such a compassionate host. She shows her enthusiasm of this topic with each discovery she finds. I love these docs.

She's such an amazing host! I love learning the history of the ancient world! It's amazing to see these places still stand

It's really sad that the tombs of the pharaohs were raided by the priests themselves, so much history lost. At least tutunkhamun's survived

Even if I carved my grocery list in stone, Id still lose that sucker

I love the series too. My childhood dream was to become and Egyptologist and watching Dr. Fletcher is an amazing throwback! Incredible lady, TV host and scientist!

She is so enthusiastic about her work, excellent.

She has vast knowledge and passion for her work. Her way of explanation is very nice.

That view of Karnak Temple was Amazing!

What an incredible documentary! Thank you Dr Fletcher. I have learnt so much in your documentaries that I'm sure I'd never have learnt in the class of any other archaeologist. Your videos are such a delight to watch and the method in which you present your subject is so easily absorbed by the viewer. I'd give anything to be one of your students!

If I am lucky, one day I hope to go to these places and see these things. It is my truest and deepest wish.

How much I love Egyptian history ... I can not describe. Our school at the time was embarked on a journey of WORLD HISTORY and even included the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD .. HANGING GARDEN OF BABYLON WAS ONE OF THEM.. And now back to Amenhotep , Atenaken , Tutankhamon ( sad he died too young as a Pharaoh ) Nefertiti the wife .. and more after Seti .. our world history class .. was only up to here.. Thank you and thank for the best enthusiasm you have had like me . THE EGYPTIAN , PHARAOHS , PYRAMIDS , KING OF KINGS AND VALLEY OF THE KINGS ...

I had no idea the tombs were robbed in essence by the priests. Wow.

I think now the Pyramid is not what I cannot imagine but the fact that the empire existed continuously for thousand of years. Maybe that is the reason why they can build great thing like the Pyramid of Giza.

Golden age of Kemnet is highly viewed as one of the thriving points of ancient kemmet. Pharoah Amenemhat lll built great constructions such as the black pyramid at Hawara and temples. His statue is self explanatory and so is the name Kemmet.

It still amazes me what they were able to build 3,000-4,000 years ago. Mind blowing.

I love this prof. She takes me on a journey I cant stop watching I wish I could go to Egypt and learn with her KEEP THESE Coming please🙌🏿🙌🏿❤

Such a clever lady !! Could listen for hours ! Thank you very much 🌠

I'm a bit of an egyptologist myself and Dr. Fletcher is one of the greats. Doctor, you are brilliant and your documentaries are everyone's favorite!

First Time I have Used Internet To Watch such a Fabulous Video !! My eyes are Just Blessed And I am very happy 😄🥰

It's astonishing that we have written evidence of the deliberate robbing of the royal tombs by the priesthood during the time leading up to the Third Intermediate Period, let alone the actual physical evidence. This is a superb documentary presenting new discoveries and historical conclusions rather than recycling old stuff. Amenhotep III was the Pharoah at Egypt's undisputable zenith, but that does not make him the greatest Pharoah. (An aside: the term "Pharoah" only came into use for the king about his time). I think that Hatshepsut and Thutmose III set the stage for Amenhotep III's magnificence, and very much added to Egypt's power and wealth. Also, I think the key person in the kingdom at this time was his father-in-law, Yuya, who may also have been his uncle, as well as possibly the father of Ay, who (nefariously) succeeded Tutankhamun. Some wild speculation (Osman) has even suggested that Yuya was the biblical Joseph, but that's contradicted by the fact that his mummy and that of his wife Tjuyu and their daughter Tiye are very well preserved in Egypt to this day. During the reign of Amenhotep III, the cult of the Aten was already significant, and after Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten's accession, Tiye still had an influential position, so I wonder whether Yuya had something to do with the beginnings of the Aten cult and the conflict with the Amun priesthood.

Persians and Egyptian and Greek History is so deep and it’s funny how most these countries have forgotten who they are

Trying to understand why people dislike such video. 🤔

I adore this lady, the way she speaks about Egypt, it is so fascinating!

I love Ancient Egypt, I love her passion, thats why you want to listen to her and absorb her brilliance.

I find it funny that when the priests decided to raid all the tombs, they couldn't find King Tutankhamun's tomb. I guess you could say that Tutankhamun and his parents had the last laugh....

She's like that cool teacher at school that everyone listened to in class 😯

I’m stuck at home with C0v!d and I’ve binged so many of these. I love them

This is a really great series. I love the presenter, she's great. Thanks for posting. :)

Wow She's so good in her work

Watching her documentaries is like slipping into my favorite robe or a warm hug. I love them.

I know she's controversial now, but I always loved Joann's documentaries. She has SO much passion for what she's talking about, and she's gone into more detail in her docs than any other presenter/historian/archeologists I know (and I've watched a LOT on ancient Egypt 😅)

Great episode. I love how it ties together so many generations of the pharaohs and the priests ... the political and religious struggles that are seen in the clues left behind.

Thank you for this documentary, indeed it helps a lot to know and understand how magnificent ancient Egypt.

I just know it was BEAUTIFUL back then. If only it would of stayed up so we could of have the whole experience...

The way se talks and explain thing is everything...you can tell that this is something that really interest her...love this

She is an amazing host...her love and enthusiasm for what she is seeing and explaining is contagious. She makes these documentaries some of the best I've seen. Scenes of her strolling or sitting in the desert with her dark clothing, red hair, and black umbrella...iconic. What a legend lol.

48:05 The first ever known labor strike.. impressive

The only few things i knew abt the Egypt is pyramids mummys & pharaohs and the rest i learnt is from this awesome professor Ms. Fletcher ✨

There is nothing else as most amazing and powerful in the world, than listening to a person, who's heart is burning like the brightest sun, for the subject they know and love.

I could watch these videos all day... Thanks!!!!

shes so wholesome i love all of her documentaries shes so passionate about what shes doing i would never sleep in her class ;;

Professor Joann Fletcher really brings history to life!!

Watching JoAnn Fletcher Over and Over again! I never get tired of watching her! She LOVES what she does!!! You Rock JoAnn Fletcher Love you!!

Good video. It's a blessing to have been able to discover the burials, tombs and mummies, pyramids and large statues of Egypt and to be able to decipher their drawings on the walls of chambers, relics and to be able to see these items in the museums.

Joanne you are amazing but with all respect you remind me of the teacher from the magic school bus. Love your story of Egypt. You voice really capture my imagination as you took me to a great adventure. Thank you 🙏

TIMELINE is the New History Channel. The New Nat Geo. The NEW Perfection.

Love love love these documentaries and the presenter. She’s just lovely, and I love how she gets emotional, that’s how it should be, she’s so passionate and dedicated, touched by her area of study. It’s so refreshing and wonderful to see and I think you can get more onboard when you see someone really relish and be connected with what they do. ❤️❤️

I love this lady she has such love for what she does

Wauw what a fantastic walk through magnificent history of Egypt. Finally I got it framed in an understandable timeline spiced with details from the daily life of the people back then. Brilliant filming and editorial work👌Thank you. I recaptured my own excitement from my youth on archeology. Thank you Professor Joann Fletcher and team. 🙏❣️

These wonderful documentaries bring me such inner peace! So grateful these are here on RU-vid in full to enjoy!

Joann's presentation of the subject is wonderful. She brings history to life, I can listen to her all day! What a marvelous woman to retell marvelous history.

They do put their heart into the telling of these stories handed down. It comes from long years of intense study and reflection, to make you feel you’re experiencing it yourself.

Finally, been waiting for the next episode

History has taught me one thing, people are always the same. Politics, religion, science and culture are tools to control the many by the few. Viva la revolution.

I love the professor’s passion for historical Egyptology. Even getting emotional at certain artefacts. I also love hearing the Egyptian workers singing whilst they dig. Wish I new what words they were singing.

Enjoying these so much!!

This is the best Egyptology series I know of. Thank you so much.

I love this woman and her enthusiasm for ancient Egypt.

Professor Fletcher makes learning about history so much fun and easy!

Joan Fletcher is the Mary Beard for Ancient Egypt, and Mary Beard is the Joan Fletcher for Rome. Lol.

37:11 Look through the gaps in the 2nd chariot from the left. That really freaked me out for a second when I saw it. Can anyone identify what it is? A statue? A doll? It seems a lot more realistic than other statues I've seen.

if i had teachers like her, i would have done so much better in school. she loves egypt so much and she shows so much passion when she speaks. thats everything
