Thank you.

Speaking as a fellow dilatante, you know I kind of failed at the military and the law too lol

I have to say these two and you are my new favorite things about Egypt 😊

I admire him for being a rebel/Protestant of his time.🌿

The leading New Zealand intellectual, Charles Brasch was at Amarna from1933 to 1935. The experience had a profound impact on his world view.

first rate talk on a fascinating site.

I missed pictures and maps of trams and people and trajectories; a nice project but a rather "dry" presentation....

I have always loved the boundary steele. It reminds me of Green Eggs and Ham. I will not place it for my wife I will not place it for my priests I will not place it here or there. Great presentation. Thank you.

I remember your wonderful excavating the archive exhibition in Oxford’s western Library in 2022. I loved it and made several visits so I could take it all in. It was wonderful to see Howard’s original notes and drawings and some of the original photographs that Harry Burton had taken. I was even lucky enough to get hold of a battered copy of the original 1927 Tomb of Tutankhamen book which I absolutely treasure🥰. I love the work of the Griffith institute and have been to their website many times. I’m amazed at the sheer number of photos Harry took, He was a meticulous cameraman and documentarian. We have so much to be thankful for that Howard Carters team did such a lot to preserve their findings in notes, photos, diaries and the careful preservation of objects. I will always be grateful to them as a lover of ancient Egypt, particularly the 18th dynasty and the reign of Tutankhamen and his predecessor Akhenaten. I’m so exited for the new more interactive website. It sounds fantastic😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽… Thank you for taking care of Howard Carters documents and preserving them for future generations. Do you have any more information about fundraising for the website upgrade? I would really like to show my support. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽👑🏹🪃💛💛💛

17:00 The "Egyptian boy" -- black, African boy looks like young Tut, same bone structure, same skin shade, same hair type. The 1927 black African boy - was used because he REPRESENTS Tut RACIALLY

Thank you for your lecture. Enjoyed the info and images. Regarding young pharaoh "Tutan-khamun -- why do we continue to represent an African - dark skinned - person as an "European" ? Why do we continue to "white wash" African archeological findings?

I just came back from Cairo. Having looked at his golden mask in the face, he is just a minor pharaoh after his dad has lost the empire. Imagine the tomb of Ramses the great, intact.

terrible video..

Imagine having this type of evidence from TT320, The Royal Cache!

RUBIS that these whites perpetuate racism and feel comfortable in their lies. Egyptian are blacks truthfully and pharaoh were black dynasties

(April, 2024)visited Amarna in September 2023 as part of a boat trip from Cairo to Abu S. Had not realised that the bulk of the construction had been with mudstone, so 95 % of the 'town' had been removed, reused, destroyed, leaving few remaining stone rubble. Walked around looking and finding shards of pottery, all without any markings or indentations. Had the advantage of your lecturers/ books and historical analysis, Chris. Found the political/ social/ religious impact of the pharaoh on Egyptian social structure intriguing. Clearly forces were at work making life of his successor(s) problematical.

I am going to Egypt next week, great to getting to know the details before I go.

Indeed, next best thing to being there. Great to have someone pointing out things that one might walk past, and explaining what we understand of their significance. Thank you!

how in the world can the Egypt Exploration Society put a video like this with hardly anything audible..what an embarrasment!

Excelent event good luck ! i have been twice Tell El Amarna

Me too. Wonderful !

Thanks for your work ;)

Great Presentation...If I had some extra money I'd spend all my time trying to discovering this stuff; what an exciting pursuit!👍❤

I liked this very much!

he shouldn't be anywhere near graven images

Amazing😅

The Ancient people of Kemet was amazing

What a criminally underappreciated little video. Not enough ancient aliens or Graham Hancock, I suppose.

The amount of whitewashing how tf is a euro in an african desert shirtless??? dont play with skin cancer boi.

Thank you so much for sharing, your work, it is very much appreciated.

Thanks for a very interesting and informative talk. It's a journey that I hope to make one day.

Excellent presentation Dr. Sheppard. I feel the Nile calling!

John Pendlebury always strikes me as a super charismatic character it’s like the potency of his sprit was such that it still exudes from photographs taken of him that are almost 100 years old by now. A very charming individual, not too dissimilar to you, Chris. I can see why you’re drawn to him and his work; kindred spirits.

These are wonderful segments! I hope that you will be able to post a video or two of the whole sessions. Regards.

big misconception that statue 7:69 is actually pareidolia erosion does wild things seen something just like that on mars

If they could not paint the elite tombs by lack of artistic accomplishments, how could they be able to paint the kings tombs? Must we not conclude that they were the builders, not the decorators of the kings tombs? Greetings from Aarschot.

Sound

I really can’t even watch this. The fact that he has a pale man with blond hair wearing African traditional attire If the thumbnails start with this false premise, the work is probably reflective of that.

Well done!

Exactly her ridiculous logic seems to set the stage for all of this instead of the facts. the British officers were clearly not trying to hurt people otherwise they would have wasted them with the guns they had in their possession but instead they had their heads bashed in with sticks and rocks after apologizing and sitting down their weapons and attempting to bribe them for their life the villagers were clearly guilty of murder

The only thing audible is, "uh".

Super!

Wonderful. Thank you!

Teaching British history, whilst hating Britain, interesting.

Such a pity that this is hard to follow due to the suboptimal sound quality.

whose blanket is that at 2:13 ? "at some point it seems to have been covered up with a blanket" - does that mean it's an ancient blanket or is it part of the pendelton's crew?

Very well done! One note: I liked the "wild" sunrays much better (more stimulating!)

I simply don't understand why only some of his slides are shown. He talks about something and all we see is him, not what he is talking about. Very poorly filmed and extremely annoying to someone, as myself, who have a lifelong interest in ancient Egypt

GREAT INFORMATIONS ON THE KANDAKÉ' S QUEEN OF SUDAN 🇸🇩. WAS GREAT TO MENTION ALA SALAH AND HER CONTRIBUTION TO THE SUDANESE REVOLUTION. BLESS
