Extinct Animals The Ancient Egyptians Saw

When people think of Ancient Egypt, we often think of mummies, pyramids and hieroglyphs, in other words, the human-y things. But did you know that despite only being 2,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians also lived alongside many different animals that are no longer around? We're talking giant lions, massive cows, 2-meter birds, and more...

@sinnerchrono an easy rule is double the number of kilograms to get 90% of the true number. So in this case 300kg= 600lbs, but in reality it would be 660lbs.

@@knuxuki1013 I might not be completely right but I believe it was due to religion taking center stage throughout a big portion of the middle ages. It was only after the trust in the Catholic Church began to crumble that the art became better again. The Renaissance shifted the focus from god and religion back onto science and humans themselves. People began to thoroughly analize the human anatomy, the anatomy of animals, they experimented with angles and such. Art had literally reached a new dimension. While humans used to draw 2 dimensionally before, they had now begun to draw 3 dimensionally. Art had not only become anatomically precise again, it had become better than ever before.

It's set in the savanna region of this world where a Lioness and a Hyena join forces to tame dinosaurs and unite all the tribes of savanna mammals against an invasion from the Leopards in the neighboring desert region, which is gonna have a lot of inspiration from Egypt and other desert civilizations from around the world.

The aurochs played a role in a major rebellion against the Romans. In the early first century CE, the Frisii (Frisians) were socii (associates) of the Roman Empire. Part of the deal was for the Frisians to provide cowhides to be turned into leather for Roman military equipment. Frisian territory was administered by a mere centurion named Olennius who unilaterally changed the deal. He wanted aurochs hides. The quintessentially Germanic utensil--the drinking horn--was a status symbol because they were made from aurochs horns and you had to be a badass to take one down. Unable to meet the demand for aurochs hides and tired of selling their children into slavery, the Frisians ran amok. There is no record of reprisals after the Romans reasserted control, perhaps realizing that they had gone too far.

@jeremyashford2145 Ай бұрын

Lest we forget, such extinctions were often at the hands of those we call indigenous, and whom some naives still think of as "noble savages". The New Zealand Maori arrived on these shores just a few centuries before European explorers but in that time managed to s0almost totally denude the Southern Alps as they burned the bush to force out the the great flightless birds which they then massacred. SomeEuropean settlers were lucky enough to see the last survivors of the giant moas and the beautiful huias, the latter killed for their decorative feathers. (Maori migrated to NZ to escape the heat of what is known in the northern hemisphere as the medieval warm period, and so arrived naked, but as the temperature cooled into the Little Ice Age clothing was adopted. it was likely the change in temperature and cold associated illness that led to falling Maori population. I imagine that was also responsible for much of the death in the Americas which coincided with and is attributed to to arrival of Europeans. Extinctions in Africa have also been largely at the hands of indigenous peoples. Sure, products such as ivory were traded to the Orient and the Occident but as with the slave trade the perpetrators were largely the local populations.

@Thegrimforest Ай бұрын

@@jeremyashford2145 oh yes, it’s often a topic that is overlooked, especially in the Humanities, where it doesn’t fit into modern discourse’s interpretation/incarnation of “ indigenousness” A quite good read I’d recommend on the topic is: Sick Societies: challenging the myth of primitive harmony by Robert B Edgerton that delves into various areas/topics/practices that a lot of anthropologist atr reluctant to widely talk about/publish/mention in their studies because of the fear of being label as a bigot.

Lions in ancient times were much more common in Europe. They certainly lived in Spain, southern France, and the Balkans. The northernmost lion remains found were near the Hungarian-Slovakian border, but they certainly occasionally ventured further north. In contrast, in the east, the farthest found remains were found in western Ukraine and were less than 2,000 years old. In general, Africa, Europe and Asia had a more similar fauna as recently as 14,000 years ago.

Hey, great video! I really loved how you presented everything without showing any bias, ehich is rare in people talking about ancient history. I have a suggestion for a new video: Look at Gompotheres, the 4 tusked elephants. It had been mentioned in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, now most European historians came and said it is just 5000 years old, but they dated the last surviving written records of it, not the original, many theories and astronomy based references in the epic has been used to trace the exact timeline of when it happened, and by many of these theories it is 12000 BCE, or 14,000 years ago. Mention of a 4 tusked elephant is there which is seen gaurding the palace of the main antagonist of the epic. It is definitely Gompotheres which were discovered, and it went extinct around 11,000 years ago as per the best research available.

I wonder if any hippos still talk about the one that killed the pharaoh. That hippo must be a legend in hippotales.

Some Egyptologists believe that Narmer's death by hippo is an allegory since hippos are symbols of evil But if it's true then that would be hilarious!

I'm certain that the term 'Egyptomania' predates 2015, and wasn't invented by the University of Michigan. A cursory Google search shows that the word appears in publications going back at least as far as 1970, and it was the title of a book published in the 1990s. I also find the word cropping up in 19th century newspapers and journals. In fact, the opening sentence is so wildly inaccurate that I regret to say I couldn't watch any of the video that follows.

If the fauna in my local region looked like this during the ancient times, I too would assume that the deities showered the land with their blessings.

Greetings from India. Stumbled upon your channel, absolutely loved the work ! As like Egyptians, ancient India is also a civilisation with roughly the same time frame and a much bigger variety of wildlife. Can you do a similar video on ancient India just like this one. Would love it. 😊🙏🏻

Wow, it is amazing that Egypt 🇪🇬 used to have amazing wildlife and it is sad that they went extinct in Egypt. I hoped one day these animals will be rewild and reintroduced in a special wildlife national park in Egypt. 🦁🐘🐃🐦🦒🦏

It’s interesting that hippos would be targeted, considering they represented the childbirth goddess Taweret, who had a hippo's head on a female human body. I suppose defensive responses by humans would’ve been understandable. The most lethal mammal in Africa is the hippo…
