Ancient Egypt Dynasty by Dynasty – Dynasty XVII – Second Intermediate Period – War with the Hyksos

1. It doesn't really make sense how the Hyksos eventually claim to be the sons of Ra when the Canaanites revered preferred deity was Ba'al El Hadad the Canaanite version of the Egyptian thunder god Set. In addition to that the Hyksos Pharoah Apepi was named after the Egyptian god of chaos Apophis. That happened to be Ra's nemesis. It would be akin to someone claiming to be a son of Jehova then calling themselves Satan. Doesn't really make much sense does it?

2. Excellent Episode 👍.
   My favorite period in Ancient Egypt,s history. Thier RECONQUEST/ RECONQUISTA& Reunification of the 2Lands!
   The seldom told Backstory at this time is exactly how crucial the Theban Queens were to Success!

3. Hey cy, I was trying to go to your website to see the reading list, but has soon as a did it took me to another website that claimed a had a virus. Hope you can check it out. Thanks for the great content!

4. Are you going to stop at Ptolemy XV Caesarion?

5. This is great. My favorite history channel on here. I said it once, I'll say it again: You and Justin from Fire of Learning should collaborate on a video together as you two are the best with Kings and Generals as a close second. But lately Justin has lost interest in doin history videos and does alot of community posts on here now…telling elaborate stories about things thats gone on in his life instead like hes journaling now…which has sort of turned me off from his channel 🙁 .

   Anyways, get ready!! Sid Meier's Civilization VI is getting ready to release the Rulers of the Sahara pack as part of their newest New Leaders DLC in a few weeks or more. This one includes Ramses II, King Sundiata Keita of Mali, and another version of Cleopatra.

6. Things are heating up for the big start of the 18th!

7. The ancient Egyptian statue on the thumbnail looked mongoloid. Lol

8. Hey Cy, commenting on this video instead of the other because it's more recent, but:

   I've been watching this series and in the video on Dynasty IV or V (it was one of those two), you mention that the Egyptians who built the pyramids saw it as an honor for them to build for their pharaoh

   As I've recently discussed with others, it seems the general understanding is that the Egyptians who built the pyramids were enslaved and whether or not they had any honor for doing it is irrelevant since they had no choice in the matter…. but it was interesting to me when you said that since it's a perspective I've never considered

   That said, knowing that you consult tons of sources and talk to historians and whatnot, do you have a specific source for that particular piece of information that seems to be crucial in online discussions about the building of the pyramids?

   P.S. – are you going to be doing any other videos on the social aspects of Ancient Egypt like you did with the Food and Drink one that strayed away from the political history?

9. Great presentation. I recommend that your freind at wanax TV say something about the campaigns of dionysus son of zeus, grandson of the cananaite hyksos king cadmus. Dionysius was the first Greek heroe demigod, who hellinized the world through conquests. He campaigned in Egypt and aethipopia in around this hyksos period. And before dionysus, Apollo son of zeus is said to have taken over the great oracle of Ammon…..transforming it into an oracle of zeus to some degree….

10. Haven't watched the Babylon video yet but did have to catch up on the Egyptian dynasty shenanigans. Hehehe…

11. Nationalism (..and racism?) was alive thousands of yrs before the French revolution

12. Would you ever consider making a whole series on the people of marhasi? Its a name given by the Sumerians but I feel is never talked about

13. I don't wanna sound demanding, but I hope you'll continue this series through to the Ptolemaic dynasty up until Egypt's annexation by Rome

14. Who is the asiatics or Asian people? Where are they from?

15. This fascinates me so deeply. Ahhotep was buried with full military honors, having lost her father, husband and son in the rebellion. They fought for three generations with women and children as their only viable leaders. One of the greatest military upsets ever.

16. "Hey you, keep those hippos off my lawn!" Neighbours, sheesh.

17. Cool as always!

18. Thank you Cy the History Guy 🤗 perfect, as usual!

19. Study the apostolic

20. Thank you Cy for this great series, it's the most complete history of Egypt I've ever seen on YT

21. Yay, new content! Thank you Cy! You make it worth watching 2+ mins of silly ad content.

22. Seqenenre Tao, creator of General Tao chicken? 🐔☺️
    Thanks as always Cy! Happy 2023! 🎉

23. Thanks for the Video we history nuts thank u

24. Great Thebans, especially Kamose! Thanks for the great video, it's my favorite series💗

25. I really enjoy your videos.

26. Looking foward to the next episode! I supose egypt will be reunited now right

27. Gone through a lot of Egyptian history as well with all these dynasties now. Though I imagine that as we come to the newer eras the amount of available information will start to increase.

28. I've been watching your videos for around 2 years now Cy ever since I first came wanted to find out more about Rome's nemesis The Carthaginians which then led me on to The Phoenicians which is where I first came across the term "The Bronze Age Collapse" and I thought well I want to know about when these Cities and Empires were thriving not when a lot of them were at their ending.
    
    That's when I found your videos about Eridu, Ur , Uruk, The Sumerians, Akkadians etc and I've been hooked ever since.
    
    But besides thanking you for your videos what I'd like to thank you for the most is for dispelling my once, I suppose you could call racist attitude toward people from the Middle East.
    
    Being from the UK anything I heard about that region on the news was always connected with something bad.
    
    I knew nothing about the rich culture and history of the countries which are now Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel etc ie Mesopotamia, Anatolia and The Levant.
    
    Even when I see that (stupid) film 300 on TV now, instead of just seeing all the Persians as the bad guys I think I wonder which regiments are supposed to be Neo Assyrian, Babylonian or even Elamites straight from the now Achaemenian Capital Susa..

29. I wonder how you say Restitutor Orbis in 17th dynasty era Egyptian.

30. I super enjoy being entertained by your content

31. Back to Egypt! Keep up excellent content

32. Great video, Cy!👏🔥🙏

33. Criminally underrated content, definitely one of my favorite history channels on YouTube.

34. great vid like always! been waiting for the 18th dynasty for sooo long, the wait will be worth it for sure 🙂

35. Can't forget some History with Cy.

36. Egyptians were racially Caucasoid like the native people of the MENA regions, Europe and the high caste light-skinned people of India.

37. The 3 Rosetta Stones are likely forgeries since they were not noticed by one contemporary historian in the time they would've been made, which would have been a big deal in those days. Subsequently, Egyptologists know next to nothing about Hieroglyphs should any portion of them be authentic to the period, and thus know nothing about Egypt's history and traditions.

38. Great Video! I’m curious how people living under these more obscure dynasties thought of their leaders. Did they think they had the legitimate ruler or did they just play the game in order to avoid persecution.

39. Love these videos

40. Been not commenting for a while but still love your work and await every video

41. The o in unison is meant to be read as a schwa I think

    Your metathesis in sovereign is very interesting to me. I was able to find pronunciation guides that mention it, but I can’t place what dialect/accent it’s from.

42. Good work young man, I was wondering if you could add some of your long form videos on Spotify? I don't know if it cost-effective to add talks to Spotify but I do relisten to your playlist on Spotify a lot and your long Sumer and Assyria talks on it, you have a good voice to have on as I do work

43. Excellent video! I am really looking forward to the video on the Achaemenid Dynasty of Egypt, lol.

45. 👍👍👍

46. Finally, we get to the Hur’q! Oh, wait this isn’t Klingon history. Fine, I’ll watch anyway even if it’s fictional.

    Oh, Star Trek is set in our universe. The Hyksos existed there too. I’m confused. Are the Hyksos the Hur’q?

47. Thank you so much for the videos!! Really appreciate you Cy!! ❤️
