Hatshepsut starts at 12:58
43:18 that’s ALOT of text for so little said. I’m guessing it’s abbreviated?
There is a published picture of Thutmose the first with wool hair (Flinders Petrie 1896 and John Ward 1902). HE'S PRESENTLY BALD. Also, Senusret the first had a Nubian grandmother. That was written back then. Also, there is a published picture of https://youtu.be/Itzj3R37jRk
😊It was (1448) when Egypt took the great span from the Euphrates to the Nile cataract but Palestine and Egypt pushed on the borders up to the kingdom of Mitanni, the successor of Thutmosis (lII) 1377😊
Great shows, fascinating topic.
Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchal culture can begin with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.
As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).
Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process.
In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary ego death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.
Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12, verse 3)
To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face.
A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. https://youtu.be/J0m0zJSEFK0
"See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." – Neem Karoli Baba

I wanna get down with dr. Fletcher, but only if she talks the whole time 👍
I enjoy her as an actor she does a good job, knows her information and expresses it well.
I would kill to have something like that jar holding the resin. Such a important piece of history.
I think the Jewish lobby defamed Pharaohs. In reality Pharaohs were builders, Jews were Destroyers.
If you want to read an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS novelization of Hatshepsut's Life, her reign, and the usurpation of her position as Pharaoh by her stepson, Thutmosis IV, kgnown as "The Napoleon Of Egypt." The novel is "CHILD OF THE MORNING" by Pauline Gedge. A woman novelist, writing about a Woman Pharaoh. What could be more RIGHT?
Ms. Gedge was also the author of "STARGATE". An amazing female novelist who loves all things "EGYPTIAN".
when I look at the sculpture of Nefertiti I see my mother when she was young..
Cleopatra Is only famous bc of the Romans
Dear Dr. Fletcher. You are always mentioning about the unique and appealing life style and religious believes of the ancient Egyptian people. Extraordinary medicinal knowledge, outstanding peaceful religious believes (not common in any other old religion), best treatment to women, unique architecture…
We are their neighbors, once the Phoenicians and now Lebanon and we have plenty of Egyptian people working in Lebanon, and still they are peaceful and very happy funny people.
One thing I yet haven't found about them is the negative side in their society during the Pharaohs rule. Can you help with that please?
Thank you.
Cleopatris wuz blacc
Queen Hatshepsut was the best pharaoh.
Fletcher is one of the great story tellers our time
Good vid about great queens .. But Don't use actual precious artifact chair from thousands of years to live your dream and make actual Egyptian people lift u.. It gives bad colonizer vibes
wow that tomb is gorgeous.
I bet there are more tombs under that sand waiting to be discovered.
This was very interesting to hear! Do you ever worry about digging all this stuff up? Just curious? Aren't they allowed to just lay at rest. Writing on her blade a serial number like it wasn't very obvious what it was? Just seems unnecessary to write on the artifact. 😅
Enjoy Professor Joann Fletcher’s videos but how do we know who decided on the decorations on the monuments?
You forgot about nefertiti in the into with cleopatra
😂😂😂😂😂
well it is true,when there is a hole so it can suckd every men and if hole combine with knowledge,so world will under her feet
None of them were white what you all taught through Hollywood is a lie. They were all melinated black people they were Kemetians from the lands of blacks . You got to stop stealing others story. That is a shame. I had to find out the truth by paying 14,000 for a masters degree because of all the lies and hatred you spread about us.
Take that person out of there
Thanka

i don't think you people understand ancient Egypt… pharoah… was a house… NOT a man…. the man… was a reflection of an epoch… the house… is a reflection of an epoch…. man as the microcosm of the universe… all the functions of creation lie within man… the function of the lion… the function of the jackle… the function of the falcon… the function of the monkey… the four great functions of the universe… math… division… addition… multiplications… and… subtractions… accretion is the name of the game… gobekli tepe… what dat?…. not in my lifetime… if you people do not think man understood the tools he worked with… than you do not understand evolution…. the population of the earth… was inevitable… ouroboros is the beginning meeting the ending…. where is the beginning if not in division?… agriculture is civilization… culture is time…. and the soil… is our reality… what we put inside of ourselves… food… the rhizosphere and rhizophagy…. plants… are carnivores…. they eat bacteria for a living… plants are the only living creatures with roots that go deep into the soil… and limbs that reach the heavens…. and with a fixed horizon… they put the best microorganisms into their seed for the future…. the dung beetle… is life… the ability to lay eggs and fly off….
Perfect, TV presenter with the touch of a professional actor. A wonderful and dramatic script that develops according to the ( action).. event. Professional photography, directing and soundtrack. Everything is wonderful. Sending you perfume greetings from Heliopolis, Cairo.
Love love love you Dr. Fletcher, and thank you so very much for this gift ! I recently discovered I am 10% Egyptian/Levantine/Persian, and this is so inspiring 🙂
