Imagine breaking away from the crowd in being an artist in predynastic Egypt all for someone to say the sculpture you made of your warrior hero great granddad looks like a potato

Good to see this is being done. When ever Egypt is being covered it's always when Egypt has already been established and there are pharaohs and the pyramids. I think people forget that it didnt just magically pop out of thin air. It had predecessors, it took thousands of years for it to become Egypt
-
Im egyptian and im always fascinated by the pre deynastic egypt more that the period every one knows
-
I wish I had a magic camera that could be pointed to any period of time. Imagine what sights could be there throughout history.

14:27 Fun fact! The bowl with feet is actually the image of the hieroglyph "to bring." It's an ancient pun.

While my home state has literally been on fire and I have been unable to go outside for nearly two full weeks, you have helped keep me entertained and intellectually engaged. It brings me great joy to see your channel nearing 50k. This grand endeavor of yours deserves a big audience to appreciate it.

It's amazing how the Nile is this noodle of life in a huge swathe of basically uninhabitable desert
-
... I don't think it's insulting to acknowledge that the evidence you've provided suggests Faiyum's people were run of the mill farmers in a period when most people could be described in much the same way. It's still fascinating to see what a run of the mill farmer's life was like 5000-7000 years ago.

Hey Cy, I just would liek to thank you for your work extremely informative, accurate and unbiased.

Awesome vid mate. If you ever get a chance to visit the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford has a superb collection of predynastic and early old kingdom artefacts. You can see the similarities with the later more famous items but much more roughly hewn and primal. The gradual transition from bands of herders and farmers into the worlds first super power is much more interesting than ‘aliens did it’, or ‘ancient Atlantan super civilization did it’

The last time I was this early, I was watching King Scorpion on campaign...

I was lucky enough to study Egyptology in university and I always bucked the trend by preferring predynastic cultures like the Naqada. I find these peoples with their advanced trade routes and customs, which obviously laid the foundations of classical Egypt, quite interesting. I guess when it comes to history in antiquity I much prefer the beginnings.
-
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for covering these early periods, we don’t know enough about these truly ancient and fascinating times.
-
Ah... The pre dinastic period... And to think that the ancient egyptians openly tried to preserve these ancient artifacts in much the same way we now try to preserve theirs, and that in the distant future someone will do the same with what we are creating now. It's rather poetic don't you all agree?

Fascinating video! I haven't found any videos about predynastic Egypt until now. I really appreciate this one
-
Very interesting and informative. Looking forward for your explanation of the incredible leap from pre-dynastic to dynastic. Subscribed.
-
I really like how you show the artifacts. A nice tight concise package. Thank you
-
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid especially since I'm reading the book "An Intro to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt" Thanks for posting and looking forward for more
-
Been waiting for this video for so long. Thanks!

This is a great video. I love all your videos. However, this one was wonderful. Thank you Cy.
