The professor explores one of Saqqara's last pyramid complexes to illustrate how Ancient Egypt's `Pyramid Age' came to an end. A worsening climate combined with political upheaval, famine and economic difficulties to plunge the state into a dark era of civil war, with the land dividing into smaller city-states headed by ambitious small-town leaders. In an obscure tomb in Thebes, she uncovers the stories of warriors who fought in the bloody battle that would eventually lead to Egypt's reunification, and reveals how settlers known as the `Hyksos' tried to infiltrate the fledgling nation's government to seize the throne.

I can't get enough of Joann 😍 Her passion for history and the way she explains everything hits my heart like no one else. The sound of her voice has a calm and lightness with it. I can listen for hours!

I could listen to Professor Fletcher talk for days....quite literally the best Egyyptologist host and narrator ever. These are the most informative, fascinating Egypt docs I've ever watched. Thank you, Oddessy, these are amazing!!!

I like this lady. She reminds me of the only teacher in school that would actually teach you something.

For myself; I like the fact that we're listening to a clearly intelligent woman, speaking about her passion, AND in a Northern accent.

I love watching anything about our ancient ancestors. It's even better watching it with her talking and they way she explains everything. She is very calm and she puts her true emotion into it. She makes you want to watch it because she is 100% into it.

Actually, Egypt went through several "Dark Ages" of which this one was probably the darkest. One does not stick around for about 5000 years without meeting, and overcoming, several great crises.

Professor Fletcher seems to be one of the greatest Egyptologists around, but she doesn't talk like the conventional researchers. She tells the history of Egypt in so beautiful story telling way, that everybody becomes interested, and easily understands a great deal of the Egypt's ancient history. She is so engaged and talks with such great passion, I am grateful, and wish more and more people watch her videos.

I think the ancient Egyptians would be pleased with the immortality they've attained.

You can tell when someone presents something with passion behind it, and when they do it amplifies it tenfold.

It's obvious that Ms. Fletcher is completely in her element in presenting the engrossing narratives. I watched the first episode and am now completely hooked to Egyptian history.

This was a wonderful video covering good insights from the First Intermediate Period to the new Kingdom. I liked the direct in person view you provided in combination with your historical narrative. Count me as a new subscriber.

If only time travel were a thing. I would love to go back in time and just see a day in ancient Egypt.

I think I have watched this twice in 2 years. And I just love how Jo talks you through the story. I wish I had her as my teacher during my history lessons at school.
