Hey ppsssst, Colleen and John set up their own channel here: kzfaq.info/love/3PrBNQ3sqbHKXYgZX7aN4Q Go forth and learn aLL THE THINGSSSS!

The Egyptologist and her husband remind me of that one rich eccentric couple in a murder mystery.

Even her dog is sophisticated.

This Egyptologist lady's vibes are absolutely unchained. She could read me the ancient Egyptian equivalent of the phone book and I would be hanging on to her every word.

When the Egyptologist started translating she made me scream: "YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!"

Ironically, she looks exactly how movies have trained us to believe female egyptologists look

Her: *reads actual hieroglyphs* Me: 👁👄👁

The Egyptologist would be an excellent professor. She knows her subject well enough to convey it fully but does not come across as pompous or obnoxious since she obviously gives the film's credit where it's due

Years later and I’m still consistently surprised at how well The Mummy 1999 holds up, they actually dealt more fantastic, authentic costumes, sets, accurate hieroglyphs than the 2017 Tom Cruise version.

"There is no quicksand in Egypt" My entire world has just been shattered.

She can just straight up read and translate hieroglyphs jesus christ.

Colleen embracing the 1920’s Agatha Christie chic vibe, loving it and living it.

Colleen and her husband are the dream parents or aunt and uncle of all the kids obsessed with archeology and egypt.

She's literally what I imagine when they say "egyptologist".

This is what it would be like if a Disney princess and her step mother got along

“He who shall not be named” is this Lord Voldemort‘s tomb?

Colleen was my art history teacher in my small community college, and she is just as genuine and cool in real life. I got so excited to see you guys collab made my whole day I love and look up to both of you, thanks Rachel for inspiring me to take up sewing and thank you colleen for inspiring to pursue my art. Hope you guys have a great day!

Of course, judging someone by their appearance isn't great, but if a woman dressed like this was anything other than an Egyptologist I would be outraged.

When Rachel visits her super eccentric aunt and uncle

"That's a wrap." I got your pun, Egyptologist lady.

Even this woman’s dog has more sophistication than I will ever even hope to have

That dog is more disciplined than any child I've ever seen in my entire life.

She looks like she’s trying to get to the Crystal Skull before Indiana Jones does

I want to be best friends with Colleen not just because she looks like the villain of the last indiana jones movie but because I want to take her to the mueseums so she can explain all the fun egypt things to me. She is just an absolute delight to listen to, and really sparks that chilhood wonder I used to have but have sense lost as I grew older. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go put on my vintage archeologist outfit and get back to that search for atlantis I started when I was 8 years old.

Is no one gunna talk about how absolutely CHILL that dog is!? Narmer isn't just names after a king, he's acting like a king!

Not everyone can rock a short bob, but she definitely does.

"no quicksand in Egypt....you need moisture" (looking back at the archaeology movies I've watched) My life is a lie....

The 5th canopic Jar is going to be my "did you know he actually broke his toe" mummy moment

I love how she laughs at the scene at 14:56. Dr.Darnell, you're not the only one who loves that moment!!

I can’t handle the amount of sophistication this woman and her dog are giving me

I wish more people 100% committed to cosplaying their profession.

Not only an actual egyptologist but they HAVE MUSEUM PIECES and they write books translating it and they understand the language, i'm amazed. They must be such a company. wow.

It’s so cool how when she’s naming references she just pulls out things from her house like “oh you can see that in this painting we own that we once loaned to a museum” or “if you loom at this published book of an old egyptian text my husband and i translated”. Goals honestly Also yes watching this in 2021. It’s been a long year

Anyone noticed that even her dog matches her colour palette

Everybody gangsta until this woman reads a hieroglyphs

*she starts reading the hieroglyphs. Damn, that's impressive.

I would listen to 3 hours of Colleen talking about Egypt history and facts and wont even regret it.

"He who shall not be named" So......Voldermort then.

The dog on her lap is literally the calmest dog I have ever seen.

She is the loving embodiment that you can be a nerd, yet SLAY that fashion and vibe.

"These were not stolen from a museum" "suure" i love that.

"One interesting thing about royal assassinations..." Is how I like to start Thanksgiving conversations.

I love how she is breaking it down, but also not being a dick. She knows its a movie and not reality. So many experts break down fantasy movies as if they are real and its so frustrating. She is at least having fun with it.

Oh man, I thought I’d stumbled into an F Scott Fitzgerald movie… such a cool setting and an impeccably dressed and coiffed guest. I felt embarrassingly underdressed watching it. Bravo.

I actually think it's pretty cool that you had ab actual Egyptologist watching this movie with you and point out what was real and what was created by Hollywood It dispels a lot of what people think is true in Egyptology

I'm actually surprised the movie has readable hieroglyphs that actually mean more or less what they are supposed to say in the script. That's actual dedication from the props department.

Her doggo is totally the reincarnation of an ancient king 😂

As a history student, I found this video very interesting.The analysis she did was excellent!

My grandmother said when I was at school that Cleopatra came from Ipswich

This woman was my art history professor! She is one of the best professors I had in college. Such a fascinating person!

That woman is the personification of glamour, she looks like the villain of an Agatha Christie novel and I can't stop looking at her hair, flawless

This couple is so fascinating! Love how they communicate, for some reason. And she is so energetic, love it.

There's probably no point in asking given how many inaccuracies Dr Darnell pointed out, but it would be awesome if you guys did this again for The Mummy Returns. Even just for the sake of another collab 😍

It should be illegal to be this fabulous.

"This was not stolen from a museum." The kind of clarifications you have to make when you look like a vilian.

I love the Egyptologist enthusiasm when explaining stuff. It makes it so easy and fun to learn from.

First off, LOVE your channel, been binging for quite some time while entering data. You've been one of the main influences on my journey to vintage fashion. So thank you very, very much. I'm a professional entomologist (I study our little 6-legged friends, the 'bugs') and I LOVE THIS MOVIE, one of my absolute favs of all time. BUT my gosh, poor scarabs. Such a bad example of our lovely little buds. Scarab's don't fly well, don't crawl fast, and do not eat living flesh (there are some exceptions to the rules, as with all things/beings, but you never get the trio or even two together haha). I keep the cuties as pets and take them to outreach events all the time. Unless you are dead and half decayed or something with a very very thin epidermal layer, aka skin (and absolutely tiny) like a small frog, you have NOTHING to fear from a scarab. Most... ok mostly all, are cute little dung eaters that help to clear waste we'd prefer not to step on. PS most of their cute little mouths don't even have the capability to bite if they'd like. Again, love the channel, you helped me a lot throughout the pandemic. You ever want some help on insect related things, just contact your local beetle gal.

She can read hieroglyphs as if she were reading a book.... How freak'n cool is that?!

"THERE'S A CURSE UPON THIS CHEST" I say as I put on a bra...

PLEASE do more of this sorta stuff!!! im learning so much and this rekindles my love for geology and archeology

This was the coolest KZfaq video ever. I seriously considered Egyptology as a career as soon as I found out it was one, as Ancient Egypt has been a fascination for me since I was 10. I thought I was pretty well versed, however, I learnt some new things today. Thank you!

I simply love how sweet the egyptologist is. She gives superior facts without being condescending about her knowledge.

She looks like a Indiana Jones villain. Especially with the bob and dog 🐕 I mean this in a badass way.

Absolutely love your channel!! I was keen on Egyptology after watching The Mummy when I was younger, and it was so cool seeing it from the perspective of an Egyptologist :)

i love how easy it is to lock in and listen to Colleen!!! she explains everything in such easy to follow bursts 🥰

SHES LITERALLY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ANCIENT EGYPT, I LOVE HER

wow i literally felt like i just got transported into a 20's household where a beautiful professor regals us with stories about Egyptian history and culture

Please make a series out of this type of video. That was so well done, I need more lol!

i have been a HUGE fan of john and colleen’s work for ages!! i love this 💗

The archaeologist lady is an absolutely delight to listen to, if she does a podcast talking about archeology, history and her life stories I would listen to all of it

*She looks like a villain from Indiana Jones movie.*

I always love watching this video over again just to see the interaction between the Egyptologists. Such love and teamwork; like any couple should be.

This video is how I came across Rachel's channel and started following Dr. Darnell over a year ago, and both have been a source of motivation and joy ever since. Rewatching this as a fan now!

that woman is the kind of egyptologist who is definitely also a timeless being who remembers ancient egypt in its prime

I love how she wasn't a snob about this EVEN ONCE. She fact checked everything in such an interesting way while acknowledging that it's a fun movie that had potential to be even better. The Mummy has been special to me my whole life, cause if it wasn't for this movie I'd never have been introduced to Egypt at all tbh.

This was a fun watch. Would love to see Dr Darnell's thoughts on the Liz Taylor version of Cleopatra.

ok but I NEED y'all to do a second one of these

She looks like she should be speaking in a Russian accent and looking for the crystal skull

She looks like a movie character, she's so beautiful.

KZfaq's random suggest got me here and and I feel so warm and comfort..fireplace, the fashion and elegance of the ladies, and back ground home deco all love it!

I love how she calls her husband to help with deciphering, thank you for this unique take on reaction videos. Also, nice bob cut and a bow tie.

*She looks like how I imagine an “Egyptologist” to look like.* Edit: woah I’ve never gotten this many likes before but, deadass she looks amazing. Like, fashion goals.

Both look pretty much like the stereotypical Indiana Jones female character.

She does my childhood dream job. Love the basenji… my nephew has one just like him! Fantastic pups! Everything about this video is making me happy!

This is definitely one of my fav videos of yours!! I would love to see another collab with you n Colleen in the future if possible 🥺

She is... one of the coolest human beings I have ever seen.

She needs a KZfaq Channel with her husband where they talk about Egyptian facts, and history and so on. I would watch everything they upload!!

Seems like such a fun couple to hang out with and explore ancient Egypt! And Rachel has a gorgeous smile! 😄💕❤️

Her passion was just so amazing to watch! I learnt so much! Definitely popping over to their channel :D

She's exactly how I imagine an Egyptologist to look like

Bruh, when both her husband and her were discussing the writing inside the sarcophagus was cute relationship moment.

You can just feel the passion through the screen, it’s awesome

I'm so disappointed that she's in the extremely historically inaccurate Netflix series about cleopatra. I was so shocked when I saw her in it😭 I feel betrayed Edit: Guys read the replies, I don't think she knew!!!

The mummy was literally the movie that made me realize as a little girl that being smart is bad-ass!

Imagine being fluent in a dead language that we don't know the real accurate way of pronouncing it. So much respect for the dedication oh my gosh.

I love 1920s and 1950s fashion and been in love with Egyptology since I saw my first mummy at 7 (I'm now 30) and the dog is so adorable, so I'm in total love with this video! :)

My grandmother had 8 cats growing up and they were all named Mimi. I’m sure they were confused. Haitians call every cat Mimi 😂

OMG THIS LADY LIVES IN MY TOWN. She’s always walking her dogs with her boyfriend/husband and they wear vintage clothes. She went to the middle school in my sister’s class to talk about Egypt. I can’t believe I found this in my recommended, such a small world. I love you and your style!

I have not even watched this yet and I’m so excited too, but I think this is the best video title ever seen in my life. Thank you.

I'm super impressed by how much effort they put into actually trying to get the ancient texts right
