I love this woman’s passion for history! Even her crying from the overwhelming feeling of being allowed to be shown such exclusive relics and tombs. You can tell she’s humbled and grateful for these experiences.

"To speak the name of the dead is to make them live again" What a great poetic way to describe it.

Dear Joanne, I have always enjoyed your material. Thank you so much. I am now almost 80. I recall my dad bringing home a book when I was about 5. He bought it at the book barrows that used to seel on Subays at the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin. It was published by Blackies and was clothbound in green. I was a very early reader and I devoured this from cover to cover many times. I particularly remember the drawing of the face of the mummy of Ramesses II. Sadly, in the course of life I moved many times, and the book is now lost to me. Never did I think that one day I would have the supreme privilege of looking on the actual face. Hi Sisi! In 1973, when I waS 30, I achieved my heart's desire and made my first visit to Egypt. I took it all in, flying on Antonov planes on the internal flights. Since then I have made many return visits, and going there is almost like going home now. The smell of the desert as I exit the door of the plane is like a kiss. Getting romantic here so enough. My favourite places in Egypt are the tombs of 1. Rekhmire, and 2, Sennufer. The great temples are awe-inspiring, of course. But I would never have been part of a Pharaonic court. Thank you for so much. David.

Her passion for studying an ancient culture is so marvelous that it captivates the viewers against their will

This makes me want to go back to university. Joann makes history so accessible and real. I love her natural presentation. And I love Egyptology.

this woman is special ,her passion for these documentaries makes it so captivating to watch

"lady of the house" sounds so much more respectable than "housewife"

Dr Fletcher is a badass. The heat of the Egyptian sun wont stop her from wearing black head to toe. Gotta respect that.

I have spent my weekend watching Joann’s documentaries. I have learned more from her than ANY other source! She is such a brilliant educator and make’s each one of us feel like we have warped back too 3 thousand year’s ago!

This is the sort of history I'm fascinated by! What was life like for the ordinary person in these civilizations? What was daily life like? How different were their lives from ours and how were they similar? This series and anything with Mary Beard are great for that!

I wish Dr. Fletcher was my professor she makes me crave the knowledge

Not me getting emotional over people who have been dead for thousands of years 😭

Watching Joan Fletcher's documentaries feels like dreaming, yet it is the closest to real life in the past we can get. Looking forward to watching the next episode.

It's such a profound and fascinating documentary. I admire Dr. Flechters work so much. The way she presents it, hits me every time and I feel touched by her tears and passion. Thank you for bringing ancient egypt to life again ❤

The narrator is full of energy and excitement.. really loved the way she explained everything.

"...To smell history..to see it, literally brings tears to my eyes." Wow. Thanks.

Love that Dr. Fletcher cried when she saw the interior of the pharaohs tomb with the paintings. I understand that….being so moved that you cry. I wanted to be an Egyptologist when I was young. I read everything I could about ancient Egypt…..even a book on how mummies were created. ❤️

It must have been something to see these temples as they were vibrant and alive 4,000 years ago.Just imagine walking into one on dark desert night 4000 years ago.

I visited Egypt years ago and was nearly brought to tears by how touchingly and personally families showed their love for each other through artwork and murals. I left with a new respect for and understanding of the Egyptian culture. Dr. F’s passionate descriptions of life in ancient Egypt definitely reflects my interest in the unique culture that still fascinates us today. And that ring … ! Thank you so much for posting this video.

You make it seem like you are a long time friend or relative of them. You bring their lives into perspective and they were not all that different from many of us today. When you were in the tomb my eyes started tearing up at the same time. That's the vibe. It's as if you were paying them a visit after 1000s of years. Fascinating. It's as if you got to know them. Brilliant!

I really admire Dr. Fletcher, I, an Egyptian myself, have learned so much from her documentaries, articles and interviews. A big salute to her ❤🌹

I adore Dr. Joann Fletcher and her incredible work 💯👌🏼

“She was unimpressed with the size of his bundle” I’m dead 😂😂😂😂

I'm so glad and moved to tears myself to see Dr Fletcher at last able to see this tomb for herself. Such passion deserves fulfilment.

I always feel sad that modern man has removed the bodies of these ancients from their final resting places/tombs. I know it’s for practical purposes, but the ancients put so much effort into creating their tombs they should be allowed to rest there into eternity as intended.

My Italian grandmother used to make a poultice of moldy bread, milk and black pepper, cooked it until just about boiling, let it cool and applied it to boils to draw them out, it worked ! Being an RN (45 years, retired) I especially liked the medical aspects of this video !

I love watching Jo on screen! It was through her suggestion that I studied in England, and would then later become a National Geographic Explorer. She's such an amazing support!

I love Dr. Joann's passion and emotion as she entered into the tomb and witnessed first hand the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptians.

Joann Fletcher is one of my favorite Egyptology . I read several of her books.She makes the whole subject come alive. Thank you for Timeline

you know it’s gonna be a good documentary when joanne is in it

Remember the cats protecting all this grain from rodents. Cats need credit.

She’s absolutely wonderful! Her documentaries are amongst the best ever on the subject.

Dr Fletcher your generosity and depth of authenticity soothe my soul. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and allowing me to witness such milestones in your career.

I can listen to her for hours with all her knowledge

I cried when she cried. Her love and appreciation for history is beautiful. Great upload, very stunning

This was so brilliant and I absolutely love the pure joy and passion that Joann exudes.

I had left Egyptian documentaries alone on you tube because I couldn't find one I hadn't already watched! So glad to see this! Chances are I have seen it, but so far I don't remember so here goes!

The tomb is surprisingly well preserved after thousands of years. Much of the plaster and painted designs remain. Amazing!

I absolutely love Joann's passion! It's so beautiful and genuine. I would weep too if I were to visit those tombs. I just adore her!

It's TOTALLY misleading to say that Kha and Merit were :"Normal Egyptians" when, in fact, Kha and Merit were members of the Egyptian Nobility. No common Egyptian could hope to have one percent of the wealth Kha attained. Most Egyptians could not even afford mummification. Otherwise, it's a good documentary.

It becomes so interesting to watch these videos because of her. The way she explains with such passion you can understand so easily about the life of these Egyptian. I love all her videos👍👍

Dr. Fletcher - thank you for taking me to places I cannot go - not only the tombs but back in time. Love, family, pride in work , a happy comfortable home - these things have not changed.

That gold cubit was amazing 🤩

I love the shade of blue of Merit's cosmetic containers.

The ancient Egyptians packed their tombs like they were loading up a U-Haul for a big move. Though in their view, that's pretty much exactly what they were doing.

It's so nice seeing someone who's so obviously passionate about her area of expertise. She looks like she's really enjoying it and that makes us viewers enjoy it as well. I could listen to her speaking about this for ages.

I love Dr. Fletcher's delight at the things she presents. It's wonderful to see an expert so taken with their material.

Dr. Joann Fletcher has a plethora of informational documentaries! I love how she always steers away from the usual topics (Kings and great royal wife) like every other documentary. She shows the lives of the regular people from that time and embraces their lives meanings!

i’ve never been moved to tears by a history documentary before. incredible video.

Wonderful documentary! Her passion and enthusiasm makes all the difference, not to mention the fascinating details of everyday life in ancient Egypt.

*This lady inspired me to visit Egypt and I was there last year during Covid. It was a wonderful experience to see all those locations which she shown in this documentary. I will be surely returning to Egypt one more time this year as well*

she was literally so overwhelmed by the sight of the tomb that it really sends chills down my spine, I really wish i can visit egypt one day

I love Dr. Fletcher's compassion, way of gently speaking, her great appreciation and love for immaculate details. The depth of her understanding brings it all to life, absolutely beautiful. Thank You 🙏💕🥰👌 It's always a pleasure to listen to her.

you guys should documentaries with her! she has so much passion it makes it so much more fun and captivating to watch

Thankyou Dr Joann Fletcher for this lovely documentary. Your enthusiasm for your subject really made the story of Ka and Merrit come to life. When I think back to my school-days, history was often presented in a dull and boring manner when, if taught well, history is facinating. 👍

The ancient Egyptian house fresco is breathtaking as was Amenhotep III’s restored tomb. What a thrill to see those in situ. Dr. Fletcher is such a gifted archeologist.

Seeing all this obsession with death really makes you appreciate the life more

💕🤩💕....I could listen to her for 24 hours!!!

I wish every scholar would be as respectful and proudly emotional as Dr. Fletcher. Thank you for this incredible journey

When this Dr. Fletcher documentary popped up I dropped everything to watch.

These are all fantastic

To understand a people it's key to look at the every day folks. From what we've all been taught of Egypt is all about the pharoahs. It'd be like understanding british people by looking at those in the monarchy. Or Americans by looking at our political leaders. We're just not the same. Never will be.

Mattoon bringing her to tears is really something. She is in love with her work and very fortunate

Well... on the bright side, in 1986 an American all-girl rock group will dedicate an entire song to how they walked.

What an emotional journey; I am awed at the amazing life of these people, the family and the respect and honor they were each shown in life. Thank you for this wonderful tour into such a rich and beautiful history. I cannot wait to see more.

WOW, I wish I could have seen All the Items in the museum.

How thrilling it must be to walk on the same paths as people from so long ago, to visit the homes where they lived, and to handle the personal items they handled! I love that Dr. Fletcher gets so into the little day-to-day parts of the lives of Ka and Merit (sp?) - it makes them real and relatable.

Dr. Fletcher's enthusiasm for ancient Egypt is wonderfully contagious. I truly enjoy listening to her speak about ancient Egyptian life.

I love Dr. Fletcher's enthusiastic style of presenting. She never fails to bring to life the inscriptions and hieroglyphs of the tombs, sites and papyrus - does maximum justice to what the Ancient Egyptians intended when setting down their words for all eternity. I am truly looking forward to the next episode of Kha and Meret's story!

Egypt's history is so rich.

The paintings are amazing! And the Dr that walked us through this is so passionate about it!

I love your videos on ancient Egypt. You manage to bring that part of history to life, and make us feel we actually know the people who lived and died in that era.

I need part two! That was really good

" She was unimpressed by the size of his bundle" 😆 omg i choked on my dinner. I can't breathe! 😆😂😂

I love Dr. Joann Fletcher!!!! I can watch her videos over and over-her explanation and her passion just draw you in

I think I've stumbled across my favorite content on UKposts. I can't stop watching Dr. Fletcher's series on Ancient Egypt.

One of my favourite civilization of history of life....I'm very fascinating to study and understanding their daily basis to Pharos...😍😍😍

You're an amazing curator.

What is so wonderful, is that Dr. Fletcher is able to insightfully open our eyes and bring to light the lives of the workers, the tomb makers, the Artists who made the wall paintings of the Pharoahs. She personalizes them by her telling their story. This is by far one the the best documentaries on Egypt ever made on film.

Dr. Fletcher is such a treat to watch..I watch all her docos multiple times.I get happy seeing how passionate she is..To watch her amazement everytime she sees something is so beautiful.Such a great storyteller.I love her hair..her rosy cheeks..her accent..She knows her stuff!! You could tell she loves what she does 😊🤎 I enjoy watching her...or listening to her while i clean 😊🙌🇦🇺

This was so good she had me crying too lol Such a gift that we can learn so much!

Absolutely wonderful to study with Dr. Joann Fletcher. Thank you kindly for uploading video. ❤

Thank you for the honour of your tears. The link between him, you holding the royal cubit, and your genuinely shown emotion showed me as a blind person something your words, and i think maybe even seeing the visuals which must have been most of your goal, couldn’t have. Maybe in some ways the bravest thing i’ve watched on a docco. Thanks for showing us their humanity through letting us see yours.

Anyone with this much passion and knowledge on any subject could teach me anything! Her energy and confidence is everything!

51:43 pause and look closely at the stunning detail in the daughter's face. The eyes, lips, nose. Beautiful.

Absolutely enthralling. Thank you Timeline and Prof. Fletcher.

I love all the documentaries with Dr Fletcher , she is so passionate about Egypt , she is transmitting her passion to us.

I love these documentaries on Egyptian life and culture. I have always been fascinated and captivated by the Egyptians. I love Joann energy when talking and describing each subject. You can tell she has a true passion for it.

The Love and Life of Kerr and Merret, I hope I spelled it right, is so much more interesting than the Pharaohs they worked for. Thank you Dr Fletcher for bringing them back to life for us.

I absolutely love every documentary with Dr. Joann. Her love for the Egyptian culture and enthusiasm to share it is intoxicating. Bravo💕

Prof. Fletcher has such a comforting voice

Its absolutely mind blowing to think about all the intricates details of the ancient Egyptian life was like. Their beliefs, way of thinking, mentality, view of the world are very intricate. I would trade anything to be teleported back in time and just see how everything was like. Truly remarkable!

I love this woman so much! I wish all documentaries where just her narrating!

wow! such a treat to see such passionate explanation about life in ancient Egypt. Love it. I crave more.

her passion makes me so emotional. it's beautiful

I didn’t expect it, but this was a double pleasure for me. I live in the US and have never been to Turin. However, through the internet’s ability to take us anywhere, a resident of Turin is currently guiding me through that city and its rich cultural history. He happens to be formally educated in Egyptian history. We had just “stopped by” the Egytian museum in Turin a couple of days ago! I stumbled across this video and watched out of curiosity of its subject not knowing I’d end up back in Turin! This used to be called “extra credit”!

She’s giving me strong ahs coven vibes. I love her!!! 🖤

To see someone with some much passion for her work is quite inspiring!

As always, the best tales are love stories! Even more if it's narrated by such a passionate and inspiring person. I'll be waiting for the next one eagerly, thank you for sharing these wonderful images and deep knowledge!

I not only learned a lot but this was also a touching and beautiful film . Thank you so much !
