Historian, Joann Fletcher explores the hitherto downplayed role that women took in the running of state and, indeed, in shaping every aspect of life in Ancient Egypt. Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of ‘Pharaoh’ no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses. Focusing on women of royalty such as Pharaoh Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertari, as well as women of high profession such as Lady Peseshet, the earliest female doctor known to the world, Fletcher reveals an ancient civilization unparalleled in its sexual equality.

People keep forgetting the ancient Egyptian most died or moved down to upper Egypt where the Nubian ruled. Due to the many wars and plague that the West brought with them. The same thing happen to native Americans Indians. At their peak they had 60millions and today 6 million who got colonize and move to a reservation. The ancient Egyptian were African origin and mix. Along beside the Nubians.

    • You have to keep in mind that we know about Cleopatra for one reason and one reason only because of Hollywood’s portrayal of her by way of Elizabeth Taylor, a role that originally was to star Dorothy Dandridge but was later recast with Elizabeth because the movie studios felt she was a bigger box office draw and moreover it was done to depict queens and pharaohs as white. So for many years unless you went out of your way to do your due diligence then this was the narrative you were left with.

I find Nefertari particularly interesting as it seemed she was the perfect consort for Ramses II. Beautiful, intelligent, well read, my goodness. Her tomb is so breathtaking. I'm not surprised they guard that tomb so well. Arsione is just as fascinating: niece of Alexander the Great, born in Egypt with Greek blood, sent to Greece for a political marriage, her first husband dying, the second marriage a disaster, married her OWN BROTHER in order to be Queen consort, introduced a form of capitalism to Egypt: wow. Ms. Fletcher is a delight to listen to because she has such passion for her work and these four "pharaohs". Thanks for uploading this documentary. It was fun to watch!

    • I've never been a fan of the theory that Hatsepsut usurped Thutmose iii's throne. Throughout history we've had countless examples rulers who usurped the rightful ruler. In all other cases I know of, the usurped ruler was killed because they were a threat to the usurper. What usupers don't do is ensure that the rightful ruler has the best education available, nor do they make the rightful ruler the head of their military. An alternative theory suggests that Hatepsut became Pharaoh to guard the throne from others who wanted to take advantage of Thutmose iii's young age a few years after Thutmose ii died.

  • Joann Fletcher... What a wonderful historian you are! You are obviously affected by the history you relate, and I think it's fabulous. I know I would have asked for a moment to myself after stepping into Nefertari's final resting place. I'd love to feel the weight of all this history myself by physically being there; however, I'll just soak it in through your marvelous videoz. Thank you.
