  • This video does a phenomenal job of underlining how the various invasions of Egypt both eroded and evolved Egyptian culture over the millennia that the area was occupied. It's often tempting to think of ancient cultures as these static things that popped into existence one day and just sort of continued until they didn't. It's very easy to forget how heavily they were influenced by other cultures and, to borrow a somewhat unrelated saying "No culture was an island", even in the earliest days.

While the Bible speaks of Pharoah in relation to both Moses and Joseph, the Qur'an only speaks of a Pharoah in relation to Musa while describing the leader at the time of Yusuf as a king.

  • Great doc. I'm working on a book now about Amr ibn al-As and it was great to see you use a pic of his mosque at the start. Regarding mummia, it was listed as a drug in the Merck Manual of the late 1880s-early 1890s in the US. It has also been said that so many mummies were brought into the US that many were used as fuel for locomotives. And lastly, in US meat markets, especially in the East, meat was wrapped, and still is, in a light brown paper that allegedly had its origins with the same mummy craze you mentioned. So many had been imported that the mummy wrappings, mostly brown in color, were being used to wrap meats. That tradition remains in practice in many shops, though the source has (hopefully) changed. Every time I buy meat, I am grateful to see it wrapped in white paper because I do not have to concern myself with the question "Am I eating mummy-wrapped meat?" - LOL.

I also recently read Destiny Disrupted because I wanted to gain a good understanding of Islamic history and it has filled in a lot of gaps. I applaud your work. It definitely sheds light on area not taken into consideration in popular historical endeavors. I especially like the part about that mentioned a possible connection or affinity between Sufism and Kemetic spiritual practice it is an area I have recently been pondering and would definitely like to know more about.

    • Much like the destruction of Alexandria's library, while it is a tragedy it is highly unlikely that much valuable knowledge was lost permanently. It was probably mostly mundane stuff (still useful for understanding day-to-day life though), stuff that had copies elsewhere, or stuff which was referenced or summarized in other surviving texts. Remember that the scribal culture was big in the historical world; if a text is popular and seen as valuable, wealthy people were commissioning scribes to create copies, which were then spread around the world. I'm sure there was still a lot of knowledge lost in the House of Wisdom, but I want to caution people away from thinking something silly like human progress being significantly set back by this (if anything it was set back by the damage done to middle eastern civilization, the displacement of people, and the destruction of Baghdad as a trade hub).

    • ​@@LoudWaffle However you fail to take into account small copies are far more unlikely to survive and be found than a libary being maintained. Yes at the destruction of the library maybe there were other texts written and kept, but now that baghdad is destroyed, and the muslim lands are in chaos, whose going to maintain and continue to copy every single book? It only takes 100 years for books in that age to decay if it is not properly kept. Usually big libararies will hire hundreds of scribes to maintain their collection. And also do not forget their may have been works in their original language. Baghdads house of knowledge had been picking up books since before Islam (Library of Khuzraw was absorbed into Baghdad). Theres so many details and translational mistakes that could occur. On top of that. Things like accounts of daily lives and transactions are soooooo valuable, moreso than you imagine. If you have enough of those you can track the economy of an empire.

  • Great video!👏👏👏👏 Most Egyptian traditions, culture, and magic practices, especially in rural Egypt, were simply Christianized or Islamized but centuries of relative cultural isolation(in Greco-Roman and Byzantine Egypt) was the catalyst to Egyptians forgetting their history(with rare exceptions of heavy oral Tradition), it is worth noting that only 5% of ancient Egyptians were considered the elites and scribes, meaning that 95% could not read or write and were average farmers and laborers up until the Tulunid & Fatimid renaissances due to the increase of the kottab(madrassas) and the 18th century(due to mohamed ali's reforms) where there was a spike in literacy. Dr. fawzeya haykal had an awesome lecture on YT named Egyptian cultural continuity on that topic you might like it.

Overall Egyptians throughout the medieval era knew their land was unique with its splendor and history. Groups like the Ottomans actually shamed Egyptians for their connection and labeled them as ahl firaun (people of the pharaoh of moses). Thankfully Egyptians today are starting to rediscover their history.

I'm staunchly against misinterpretations of old texts. It's like undermining their genius with modern stupidity. Well my doubt was, bronze age , when Egypt was at its height, had many warring countries, and Arabs were mercenaries in these wars. If oral stories from bronze age did make it to atleast pre Judeo Arabia, the Arabs would have faint recollections of all these fabulous bronze age cultures. But Arabs were never a homogenous bunch, were they?
