Why Did Ancient Egypt Eventually Fall? | Immortal Egypt | Timeline

Published 2018-08-07
The historian reveals how Egypt's enemies exploited a country weakened by internal strife, travelling south to Sudan to examine the story of the forgotten Nubian kings, who ruled Egypt from their southern homeland for a century, even building their own pyramids to bury their monarchs. She then explores how the next group of invaders the Saites took the tradition of mummification to new extremes by preserving millions of animals, before Alexander the Great came to Egypt's rescue and founded the greatest city on Earth.

    This series in itself was a work of art. Thank you, professor, never have I learned anything in such a short span and in such a fluent manner. If you ever come across this comment, THANK YOU.
  • @SnakeBiteGaming
    Imagine arriving in Egypt for the very first time when it was in its glory. What an incredible sight that must have been.
  • Hear me out, Dr. Joann deserves more documentaries, her own shows, and awards. She’s a great professor.
  • @STDealer
    Joann Fletcher is one of the best to ever do it. As a historian she really ignites the excitement of her audience regardless of their background or familiarity of the topic discussed. She makes me feel like I'm learning this topic for the first time and that's always a treasure to experience.
  • @BlackKatTV
    Has nobody said it yet? .....she definitely looks like Ms. Frizzle from the magic school bus 🚌 and she’s just as fun and knowledgeable. This woman is a great and enthusiastic teacher

  • I wish all my teachers/professors were like Dr. Fletcher. What a remarkable journey this series was - I'm so glad I found this, and my appreciation for the greatest culture in world history has never been deeper. Thank you so much Dr. Fletcher, her team, her producers and filmers, and everyone involved in making this AND giving it to the public for free. What an amazing treat for avid history buffs.

    This series is an absolutely wonderful one and I have watched various episodes over and over! I love Joann! She has crazy hair, always in black and never wears makeup. I love that about her - the only thing she cares about is teaching us all about her passion, EGYPT! Man, I wish all of my teachers had been as enthusiastic as her!👍💜
  • @princess-om1cw
    I love the way the camera person gets bomb shots of her admiring temples and stuff. Honestly such a dope series.
  • @javenpace1855
    I swear every time I watch a documentary with her in it I actually love it but let someone else come up and talk and I’m out. She is really one of the best in my opinion.
  • @blairhilton2859
