What Was Daily Life Like For Ancient Egyptians? | Ancient Egypt: Revealed | Timeline

I love this woman’s passion for history! Even her crying from the overwhelming feeling of being allowed to be shown such exclusive relics and tombs. You can tell she’s humbled and grateful for these experiences.

"To speak the name of the dead is to make them live again" What a great poetic way to describe it.

Dear Joanne, I have always enjoyed your material. Thank you so much. I am now almost 80. I recall my dad bringing home a book when I was about 5. He bought it at the book barrows that used to seel on Subays at the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. It was published by Blackies and was clothbound in green. I was a very early reader and I devoured this from cover to cover many times. I particularly remember the drawing of the face of the mummy of Ramesses II. Sadly, in the course of life I moved many times, and the book is now lost to me. Never did I think that one day I would have the supreme privilege of looking on the actual face. Hi Sisi! In 1973, when I waS 30, I achieved my heart's desire and made my first visit to Egypt. I took it all in, flying on Antonov planes on the internal flights. Since then I have made many return visits, and going there is almost like going home now. The smell of the desert as I exit the door of the plane is like a kiss. Getting romantic here so enough. My favourite places in Egypt are the tombs of 1. Rekhmire, and 2, Sennufer. The great temples are awe-inspiring, of course. But I would never have been part of a Pharaonic court. Thank you for so much. David.

I have spent my weekend watching Joann’s documentaries. I have learned more from her than ANY other source! She is such a brilliant educator and make’s each one of us feel like we have warped back too 3 thousand year’s ago!

This makes me want to go back to university. Joann makes history so accessible and real. I love her natural presentation. And I love Egyptology.

Her passion for studying an ancient culture is so marvelous that it captivates the viewers against their will

Dr Fletcher is a badass. The heat of the Egyptian sun wont stop her from wearing black head to toe. Gotta respect that.

Love that Dr. Fletcher cried when she saw the interior of the pharaohs tomb with the paintings. I understand that….being so moved that you cry. I wanted to be an Egyptologist when I was young. I read everything I could about ancient Egypt…..even a book on how mummies were created. ❤️

this woman is special ,her passion for these documentaries makes it so captivating to watch

This is the sort of history I'm fascinated by! What was life like for the ordinary person in these civilizations? What was daily life like? How different were their lives from ours and how were they similar? This series and anything with Mary Beard are great for that!

"...To smell history..to see it, literally brings tears to my eyes." Wow. Thanks.

I really admire Dr. Fletcher, I, an Egyptian myself, have learned so much from her documentaries, articles and interviews. A big salute to her ❤🌹

It's such a profound and fascinating documentary. I admire Dr. Flechters work so much. The way she presents it, hits me every time and I feel touched by her tears and passion. Thank you for bringing ancient egypt to life again ❤

You make it seem like you are a long time friend or relative of them. You bring their lives into perspective and they were not all that different from many of us today. When you were in the tomb my eyes started tearing up at the same time. That's the vibe. It's as if you were paying them a visit after 1000s of years. Fascinating. It's as if you got to know them. Brilliant!

I wish Dr. Fletcher was my professor she makes me crave the knowledge

I visited Egypt years ago and was nearly brought to tears by how touchingly and personally families showed their love for each other through artwork and murals. I left with a new respect for and understanding of the Egyptian culture. Dr. F’s passionate descriptions of life in ancient Egypt definitely reflects my interest in the unique culture that still fascinates us today. And that ring … ! Thank you so much for posting this video.

Not me getting emotional over people who have been dead for thousands of years 😭

It must have been something to see these temples as they were vibrant and alive 4,000 years ago.Just imagine walking into one on dark desert night 4000 years ago.

The narrator is full of energy and excitement.. really loved the way she explained everything.

I'm so glad and moved to tears myself to see Dr Fletcher at last able to see this tomb for herself. Such passion deserves fulfilment.
