It’s a decent summary for 2000 years of very complex history, hello from an Egyptian follower of your beautiful channel 👋

I didn't realize there were so many Muslim Empires/Sultanates/Caliphates, the Rashidun, Ummayads, Abbasids, Tulunids, Ikhshashid, Fatmids, Ayyubids, Mamluks, then the Ottomans. Then Napoleon... I forgot about him. To round it out, the Pashas, then the UK, then modern day kingdom, then republic, then something.... I hadn't heard of the Tulunids and Ikhshashid

4:54 After three decades of effective management, the Tulunids were ruled by ineffectual children Late Western Roman Empire: "First time?"

Wow. I am Egyptian and I think this has been the best and most unbiased video about Egypt's history. Great work. I know you do videos about other countries and other periods but I hope that you can do more about Egypt and go into depth about some of these periods. Especially Nasser's and Mohammed Ali's. And maybe also the Mamluk and the Fatimids. Btw the Fatimid is much more famous than the Tulunids and the Ikhshidis, the things you mentioned about the Tulunids btw I didn't hear about before. Great work again.

When you said "Mohammed Ali", the 1st thing that came to my mind was the boxer LOL.

Egypt is one of the most important countries in the history of humanity, greetings from Italy, nice video!

Those funerary portraits are disturbingly modern

*Egypt trying not to be ruled by the military class for 1 second (impossible)*

10:58, didn't know Ali was fighting that far back.

Love Egypt from Greece 🇬🇷❤🇪🇬

Awesome video - I remember taking a bus on major highway in Cairo and looking out the window to see a statue of Ramsey II that had been there since antiquity. Impressive history!

Literally almost anyone against Ethiopia: Can we defeat you and add you to our growing empire? Ethiopia: No

Holy Roman Empire: Basically Germany and other smaller states and Kingdoms stronger than the Emperor, but still recognize him as overlord in name. Abbasid Caliphate: Basically Iraq and other smaller states and Kingdoms stronger than the Emperor, but still recognize him as overlord in name.

Summary to my country's History:- High, fortunate, prestigious and wealthy status, then an unexpected, sharp downfall Also you forgot Mohammed Ali's quick but influential Conquest of Syria, which made the downfall of the ottoman empire clear. Again, I said this in a previous video, but thank you very, very much for your great coverage of my great Nation. Peace, and tahya masr!

I don't know why it took me so long to subscribe to Epimetheus. He really is the Go To historian on RU-vid. Superior work, really good story choices.

Love Egypt from Turkey 🇹🇷❤️🇪🇬

Another fantastic and beautiful video from one of my favorite history channels! You're a huge inspiration to me! Thank you!

concise yet very informative you are probably the only youtuber to talk about post-pharoanic egypt so thank you تحياتى من مصر

11:23 the mamluks were all killed in the famous historical event known as "the massacre of the citadel" where Muhammed Ali invited all the mamluks to cairo citadel to make peace with them then killed them all only two managed to escape and the mamluks were never been heard of in history ever again

I wish that your channel grow

I am egyptian and this is very accurate

One minor addition, Octavian kept Egypt as a personal province and a hereditary province not subject to the Senate. He personally inherited all the country's wealth.

Egypt was still a great civilisation after pharàohs

These videos are amazing, thankyou. My knowledge of Europe/Asia only extends until late antiquity, with a beginner understanding of mediaeval times. It is SUCH a big help having these videos to help bridge the gap from then until modern timers and give context to this post-WW2 world

Always nice to learn something new. Simply and factually explained so that anyone could follow and understand. Great vid. Thanx for posting it.

These videos are getting so good, the distinctive graphics, the lean exposition with a sprinkle of humour

Epimetheus; always delivering that sweet, sweet historical context. Thanks for the great work!

I like the Egyptian national anthem and their history . Greetings and respect from Turkey 🇹🇷👍🏼🇪🇬

Your channel is beyond awesome! Thank you so much for this awesome content!

Killing it mate! Awesome. Love the fact it's not full of commercials

Great video! So much more history after the Pharos!

Small correction, you missed out lybia as included in the late ottoman empire. Love your videos!

Dear Epimetheus... I need the long version of Egyptian history. I am trying to learn about my own past lives. Please recommend another video

U missed the Mohammed Ali wars against the Ottoman empire, but it's a great summery overall.. GREAT WORK, keep it up

One of the most intereting ,historically ,countries in the world,in my opinion! From the beggining of history till modern times simething important is happening in Egypt!

Such a perfect morning. A coffee and a perfect history video

Under Nasser, the Aswan High Dam was approved and construction began in 1960. The waters of the lake behind it, Lake Nasser, threatened to inundate many ancient and historic sites. Many of the most important sites were offered to countries which could house them in a proper manner. One of these is the Temple of Dendur in New York; the large room that houses the temple was built specifically to house it, with other Egyptian artifacts sharing the large space. To this day it is one of the most striking of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Egyptian collection.

Wow. Very knowledgeable content. Well done. Subscribed

Huge thanks from Armenia for making this video ❤❤❤ and generally thanks for your videos, they’re an interesting and engaging way to learn history ❤

Awesome video and very detailed overall, i would just like to say that the first egyptian president wasn't Gamal Abdel Nasser, it was mohamed Naguib, apart from that, amazing content,keep up with the good work epimetheus !!

Muhammed Ali also charged towards Istanbul and reached as far as Kutahya in Anatolia untill he was stopped by the British. And ALSO Muhammed Ali's son was nearly defeating the Greek uprising untill again British and other major powers destroyed his navy.

very neat! awesome video!

Well I finally watched this video. I was nicely informative. I almost want to watch Curiosity Stream myself. Great job.

My God! Fantastic summary of a great historical and important African country, its influences ti modern day culture . Fascinating to view the various epoch to the modern day Egyptian history. Great work

i think you could argue the the Ptolemies were not true pharaohs and the date of the last pharaoh would be before the Greeks and Persians.

Fantastic video again. Thx.

Love this channel! 👌

Sicily should have been included in the map as part of the Fatimid Caliphate. Their most famous military commander was even a Sicilian, Jawhar al-Siqili. He was the one who led the army into Egypt

Fun fact about Napoleon's campaign. Not all of his troops returned to France. Many of them settled in Egypt especially in the Nile Delta. If you ever visit a city called Damanhur you will notice many of the inhabitants still having European features like colored hair and eyes

What an amazing video. Great job. May i reccomend the Gupta empire for a future video?

Amazing !! We learn a lot. , cheers !!!

Such a shame that scholars translate Mamluk to "slaves", its so wrong on so many levels that its misleading.. they were more like servants.. and had nothing to do with being slaves... they had free will.. free thinking and education..some of them even reached high ranking in military or even became kings.. The mongolians wrecked havoc every where they went (especially central and mid west of Asia, thats where the Mamluks are from) the result of destruction left so many families dead those who survived became orphans. The Sultans at the time had a hard time with loyalty from local tribesmen. so they took those orphans trained them hard both militarily and spiritually.. since they are not affiliated with any local tribesmen, their only loyalty was to the Sultan.

You forgot Ahmed urabi, he defeated the British a few times until he got betrayed by the person who dug the canal which said it's to shallow for British ships to cross so he didn't prepare

That was really interesting and complex. Kuddos

a little funny fact about the monks in egypt, some of them became like super dedicated and sat atop giant pillars and never went down and had local people bring them food and water

Lmao African Americans think Egyptians were black, hardest cope I've ever seen

So many teachers treat post Pharonic/New-Kingdom like "Rome Total War 1" does. Namely assuming their still stuck with Bronze age chariots and Khopesh swords lol

I have never seen anything like this in RU-vid.....now I have more understanding of the reasons of why that zone is always in constant geopoltical stress

Excellent! And pleasant voice to listen even at accelerated pace.

Epimetheus introduction to the sponsor, so smooth

No dislikes like all Epimetheus videos should be

Awesome video

the video i didnt know i wanted but needed

Man, for thousands of years those borders looked organic, natural - a reflection of the people inhabiting Egypt. Then the British took their geometry set and slapped a bloody 90-degree angle border like its some random plot of farmland in Cumberland.

Arab Republic of Egypt was first used in 1971 not 1953

Very nice video!!! Hey Epimetheus, make a video about the history of the Holy Roman Empire!!!!!!!!!!

I've spent the last couple hours watching your videos. Good stuff, mate. Request: History of Germany.

soooo good to see you again

A lot of “history buffs” online make it seem as if the Middle East was United before the British. Apparently that wasn’t the case. This was informative.

Egypt shall never die it was the entity that will live long .Long live Egypt and all its great dynasties.

Yay! Post hellenistic Greek history next?

I would like to learn more about the Tulanid's as in how did that work with their merc's and slaves ordering them around? Seems odd but from what I have learned about history, nothing is out of the question.

Awesome video! Love from Masr

as an Egyptian, this was so good to watch!

very nice channel ^^

you should make a video about the ancient germanic tribes.

This felt a little too short and the end a bit too rushed

Nice job sliding in the Curiosity Stream commercial. Hehehe...

Nice summary of the history of Egypt after the Pharaohs. I like the story of the story of the Mamluk slave soldiers who deposed their Fatimid master and ruled Egypt.

Gamal AbdElNasser wasn't our first president though, it was Mohamed Naguib, Mubarak was a very unpopular military dictator, and it's actually pretty misleading to say that the coup of 1952 was a coup (most Egyptians deem it as a revolution) but say that in 2013 the ruler was "replaced" and not overthrown in a military coup. Also Morsi was way more unpopular than Mubarak, sure but he was the first democratically elected president of the country

6:45 - *Here the actual Trouble Begins!* Its ironic that the last crusaders as well as the mongol horde effectively nullified by a Turko-Circassian elite warrior merchantile state :)

Thank you for making me learn more about my country

I've learned much more about Egypt from this video than in school.

Greetings from Persia(iran) 🇮🇷

10:59 peep the Cassius Clay reference

Mavellous, channel!

I love and appriecate this episode, I am gonna sub, but I hope in the last 2 years u got a better mic! I can barely hear u and all my stuff is turned up

THANKS FOR THE NOTE THOSE EMPIRES STILL HAD MORE MANPOWER AND REASOURCES OUTNUMBERED THE ARABS(MUSLIMS)

The last time I was this early, they still venerated the Old Gods in Egypt

thank you so much for this amazing video , plz do greece and turkey next

A fascinating account of Egyptian history from Hor-Aha to balaha

Such a broad scope, yet concise enough to stay below 15 min.

Egypt is maybe the only country known to have its slaves became its masters without being freed, kind weird.

Very good

Thank you for acknowledging the Nubians, Africans and being unbiased. It’s such an atrocity that they seek to eradicate African heritage from the Egyptian timeline.

Egypt will be great again

I saw Muhammad Ali picture in the corner I like what you did👍

yes yes yes the one topic that i was intrested in but no one bothered to talk about it

He was put on trial, then died of heart attack. Makes sense
