00:00:00
peace and overstander
00:00:03
good morning good afternoon
00:00:05
whenever you're watching this video
00:00:09
uh number one
00:00:11
we have
00:00:14
corrected the
00:00:16
textbook scenario
00:00:19
if you go to Moodle
00:00:21
you will see it says Johnson's ebook
00:00:25
brightwave has been replaced with Aspire
00:00:28
inspire
00:00:30
and if you click on that link
00:00:33
there is a uh
00:00:39
definitions I mean well instructions
00:00:41
rather on how to
00:00:44
operate the e-book
00:00:46
so with that being said you have some
00:00:48
questions that have been assigned with
00:00:51
chapter one
00:00:53
still has some technical issues with
00:00:55
that that last video I was attempting to
00:00:57
upload I'm not really sure what happened
00:01:00
with that
00:01:02
so but since you have access now to the
00:01:05
textbook you we will be able to move
00:01:07
past chapter one and again you can
00:01:12
uh be abreast of where we are again it
00:01:17
is your responsibility to
00:01:20
be cognizant of when things were due
00:01:23
students are again
00:01:26
uh
00:01:27
contacting me about
00:01:32
assignments being late
00:01:35
or not being cognizant of the time frame
00:01:39
I have allowed it
00:01:41
to be turned in for Less points but this
00:01:45
scenario will not continue
00:01:47
if your work is late and extremely late
00:01:51
and if it's not a valid reason
00:01:55
other than I didn't know I didn't see it
00:01:59
that's not that's not what we're doing
00:02:02
uh
00:02:05
so with that being said we're going to
00:02:07
move move forward so you have the
00:02:08
textbook
00:02:10
is there you had those questions that go
00:02:14
with chapter one
00:02:15
that are there and uh
00:02:18
we going we're going to get it straight
00:02:20
uh your professor had
00:02:22
been having some Transportation issues
00:02:25
so that's been challenging with
00:02:28
getting back and forth to campus so
00:02:31
you know how that goes when
00:02:34
when you need a ride
00:02:36
so but at any rate
00:02:40
for my uh two o'clock class
00:02:44
we introduced we went into chapter two
00:02:48
so uh
00:02:51
this this lecture is basically for that
00:02:55
section now you can still watch it it's
00:02:57
always Fair legal for you to watch it
00:03:00
but we want to just kind of introduce
00:03:02
not introduce we'll continue into what
00:03:06
we were doing with that when we last met
00:03:10
and we were we went into chapter two
00:03:12
guys
00:03:13
for the two o'clock class and I'm going
00:03:16
to come back because we're all going to
00:03:17
pick up the other classes
00:03:20
with the beginning of chapter one so you
00:03:23
can watch this portion of the video as
00:03:26
well and read the beginning parts and
00:03:29
catch up
00:03:30
are we going to go back to it because we
00:03:32
will be meeting tomorrow Friday
00:03:36
so my two o'clock class we left off with
00:03:40
talking about more advanced
00:03:43
and diverse creation of civilizations
00:03:46
through
00:03:48
the creation the Advent of writing
00:03:52
moving from pictograms
00:03:56
to the creation of an alphabet
00:03:59
which helped in the aiding of a speaking
00:04:03
language
00:04:04
a recordable
00:04:06
phonetical phonetic language with the
00:04:10
Advent and creation of letters and
00:04:13
pronunciations this is a very important
00:04:16
time frame
00:04:18
for mankind the development of
00:04:22
a spoken written language and
00:04:26
transitioning from
00:04:28
pictograms and symbols that meant
00:04:33
a particular
00:04:34
phrase or thing a concept to a written
00:04:39
word
00:04:40
although it's still more to that
00:04:44
with a written language and translation
00:04:47
in languages but this is a beginning
00:04:51
and we talked about the rule of law
00:04:55
we talked about
00:04:57
in the beginning chapter Herodotus not
00:04:59
Herodotus
00:05:01
Hammurabi's code
00:05:03
which was one of the first
00:05:06
established
00:05:07
civil and Criminal
00:05:11
laws
00:05:13
that protected
00:05:15
defamation the character slander
00:05:18
criminal crimes murder
00:05:21
stealing
00:05:23
slavery
00:05:25
and all of the above
00:05:28
we talked about it so now I want and I
00:05:32
mentioned Also earlier we talked about
00:05:34
I gave four particular areas that we
00:05:38
would look at
00:05:40
the Hebrews
00:05:42
the Egyptians
00:05:46
uh the Mesopotamians Mesopotamia which
00:05:51
is modern day Iraq
00:05:54
and uh Palestine Israel if you will
00:05:59
which is basically the same place and
00:06:01
that's why those Wars are occurring
00:06:05
but we want to talk about Egypt
00:06:08
and where there are where where they fit
00:06:12
at in the scheme of things
00:06:14
not going to go into a whole lot of uh
00:06:19
because I'm I'm seeing that these videos
00:06:21
typically if they're too long I'm having
00:06:23
issues with posting them without going
00:06:26
back and editing that so we want to talk
00:06:29
a little bit about the now Herodotus the
00:06:31
Greek historian who Herodotus h-e-r-o
00:06:37
d-o-t-u-s Herodotus was a Greek
00:06:41
historian
00:06:42
who went about and traveled to different
00:06:46
places and this is who the Greeks look
00:06:49
to
00:06:50
for explanation explanations about
00:06:52
things outside of their boundaries
00:06:55
Herodotus was one of the known Greek
00:06:59
historians who went out and traveled and
00:07:02
he was welcome into these different
00:07:05
places that he went
00:07:08
talk to people observe their culture and
00:07:11
he noticed that the Egypt is called the
00:07:14
gift of denial because
00:07:16
where it is situated Kemet or Egypt
00:07:20
is in an area that the Nile river runs
00:07:23
through just like the Mississippi river
00:07:25
runs through Louisiana
00:07:28
the Nile ran through there and it was
00:07:30
very Lush
00:07:32
and provided great vegetation
00:07:36
so I just also uh alluded to Egypt the
00:07:41
name
00:07:42
the Greeks used their name egeptos
00:07:45
and called that Egypt however the
00:07:49
individuals that lived there
00:07:52
called their Homeland kimid
00:07:56
k-e-m-e-t
00:07:57
commit
00:07:59
chemist means land of the blacks
00:08:03
this is a whole nother talk show and
00:08:08
when you those of you that may watch the
00:08:09
History Channel
00:08:12
and see that
00:08:13
when they talk about the wonders of
00:08:16
Egypt the Sphinx and the building of the
00:08:19
pyramids and all these astronomical
00:08:21
accomplishments that have occurred over
00:08:24
time
00:08:25
you will see that they will go through
00:08:29
ancient
00:08:30
extraterrestrial astronauts
00:08:34
theories
00:08:35
that
00:08:36
takes away from the contributions of
00:08:41
uh
00:08:43
blacks as a whole
00:08:45
you would look at they would rather say
00:08:47
that
00:08:48
astronauts are aliens built
00:08:53
these
00:08:55
Monumental structures
00:08:58
instead of black people that aliens came
00:09:02
and gave this supreme wisdom
00:09:05
Supreme knowledge Supreme mathematics to
00:09:09
the people of the early inhabitants
00:09:13
okay but karate us again noticed that
00:09:18
how the flooding of the Nile helped
00:09:22
in the development of this great
00:09:25
civilization
00:09:27
and again I want you to always keep
00:09:30
in the Forefront of your mind the nine
00:09:33
areas of human interaction what are they
00:09:38
you should know them by now
00:09:41
economics education
00:09:44
entertainment
00:09:45
labor law
00:09:47
politics sex religion
00:09:50
and warfare
00:09:52
so when we go into these kingdoms and
00:09:55
these societies those are the things we
00:09:58
want to take away
00:10:00
we want to look at
00:10:02
their economics
00:10:04
how they how they did things so we know
00:10:07
that Egypt
00:10:08
was a area that was obviously Lush
00:10:13
with vegetation from the flooding of the
00:10:15
Nile River
00:10:16
to the adjacent of the Mediterranean Sea
00:10:19
and the Red Sea and the Nile river runs
00:10:23
through this area
00:10:25
now oddly enough the Nile River is the
00:10:28
only river that runs
00:10:32
uh where Lower Egypt
00:10:37
was lowercarement is at the top and
00:10:41
upper is at the bottom due to the
00:10:44
direction in which the river flow oddly
00:10:49
enough
00:10:50
we look at
00:10:51
the Mississippi River
00:10:53
flows down
00:10:56
into the Gulf so the Upper Mississippi
00:10:59
would be
00:11:01
for those of you that didn't know the
00:11:03
Mississippi River goes all the way into
00:11:06
Minnesota up north and it flows downward
00:11:10
into the Gulf but the Nile River Flows
00:11:14
upward so it's transversed so Lord came
00:11:19
into Egypt is in the North
00:11:21
and upper is in the south
00:11:24
okay that's important
00:11:27
so you have
00:11:29
several periods
00:11:31
of of time Framing and this is just an
00:11:35
introduction but you have the Archaic
00:11:38
Period
00:11:40
which is the older or first period
00:11:43
you have the Old Kingdom Middle Kingdom
00:11:47
and The New Kingdom which are time
00:11:50
periods
00:11:51
of pharoic leadership
00:11:54
Egypt had 27
00:11:57
pharoic dynasties a dynasty is where a
00:12:02
particular family Rules
00:12:06
we can tie that into politics from the
00:12:09
nine areas a dynasty is a family
00:12:12
a ruling family just like with
00:12:16
uh in England the king of England the
00:12:18
Queen of England that is the lineage of
00:12:21
a family it's a monarchy so these
00:12:23
different kingdoms old middle and new
00:12:26
there are personalities that arose and
00:12:29
accomplishments that arose from this
00:12:32
time frame now Egypt is a very
00:12:35
uh uh interesting subject matter with a
00:12:39
lot of diverse topics
00:12:43
let's first look at
00:12:45
politics
00:12:47
the leader or the ruler of Egypt is
00:12:52
called the pharaoh
00:12:53
the Pharaoh is a term that means great
00:12:56
house
00:12:58
It is believed
00:13:00
that the pharaoh
00:13:03
was the god king
00:13:05
have God
00:13:07
and have man and we talked about
00:13:11
any other lecture
00:13:13
how the homo sapiens begin to develop
00:13:18
stories or Tales
00:13:21
about phenomenon
00:13:23
in a way to explain natural phenomenon
00:13:26
in a way to explain and attributed
00:13:30
Divine powers to Sun Moon stars and
00:13:34
things that were occurring in nature to
00:13:37
explain what was happening
00:13:40
this was no different than the ancient
00:13:43
Egyptians or the chemites but the
00:13:47
chemites have I mean the Egyptians have
00:13:50
a leader
00:13:51
the pharaoh and in the religious
00:13:55
structure
00:13:56
of the Egyptians you have the pantheon
00:14:00
of Gods
00:14:02
which
00:14:04
Egypt has a creation myth
00:14:06
how the Earth in the beginning
00:14:09
every society has again nine years of
00:14:12
human in action every society has a
00:14:17
creation story or a myth but we want to
00:14:21
look at here briefly just to kind of
00:14:24
introduce this to you I want you to go
00:14:27
and familiarize yourselves
00:14:30
with the Egyptian gods
00:14:33
it's it's it's it's it's it's diversity
00:14:36
in that and some of their roles we're
00:14:40
going to talk more in detail about the
00:14:43
pharaoh
00:14:44
what that mean what what what what his
00:14:47
responsibilities were
00:14:49
going to look at the Old Kingdom the New
00:14:52
Kingdom and how
00:14:55
certain people over time
00:14:58
have invaded as within all societies
00:15:01
have invaded
00:15:02
and thereby changed
00:15:05
the phenotype of the land that they
00:15:08
invaded
00:15:09
once for example Once Upon a Time the
00:15:11
Native Americans were here in America
00:15:14
over time
00:15:17
skin color and the dimensions of the
00:15:19
people through miscegenation
00:15:22
intermixing of foreigners and the
00:15:26
original people of a land will bring
00:15:28
about a new phenotype a new color of
00:15:32
people
00:15:33
so over time
00:15:35
the people that were the original
00:15:36
inhabitants of Egypt
00:15:38
their skin color changed their huge
00:15:41
changed over time so we want to look at
00:15:44
that
00:15:48
we're going to talk a little more in
00:15:50
detail about this but everybody knows
00:15:53
about the contribution of the Egyptians
00:15:56
King Tut has to be one of the more
00:15:58
famous
00:16:00
uh fines that have been discovered also
00:16:04
we talk about biblically
00:16:07
uh King Ramses and there's a story in
00:16:10
the Bible
00:16:11
that he lose to how the Egyptians the
00:16:15
Hebrews were kept in bondage in Egypt
00:16:19
for X number of years and we all know
00:16:22
the astronomical story
00:16:24
of the plagues that were rained down on
00:16:27
Egypt and Moses his story and how the
00:16:31
Red Sea parted
00:16:33
and Moses was allowed to walk through
00:16:38
the water
00:16:40
to the other side so that's that's
00:16:43
another
00:16:45
story too but it's there in the textbook
00:16:49
so again ancient Egypt we really gonna
00:16:52
go deep into that we're going to talk
00:16:55
about the Hittites in a little more and
00:16:57
we're going to talk about King Tut a
00:17:00
list of pharaohs we're going to talk
00:17:02
about Nubia
00:17:04
Kush and Kim it those are the three
00:17:08
names of Egypt
00:17:11
Ethiopia
00:17:13
and Sudan
00:17:16
and Ethiopia
00:17:18
cush the word ethiop
00:17:22
actually means burnt face people
00:17:25
this is another position which shows you
00:17:27
how extremely dark
00:17:30
the original inhabitants work of these
00:17:33
areas as opposed to how they are now
00:17:36
so we will look at them more
00:17:38
there's a
00:17:40
uh are we going to talk about the
00:17:41
Hittites in a little more detail but I
00:17:45
want to talk a little bit about the
00:17:48
Hebrews
00:17:50
and their belief system coming out
00:17:54
[Music]
00:17:57
the Hebrews
00:18:01
who have their premise or belief
00:18:06
in Yahweh and they believe that they are
00:18:12
in Covenant with God we've heard the
00:18:15
term God's chosen people
00:18:18
and things of that sort so we will be
00:18:20
definitely looking
00:18:23
at what those things mean how they felt
00:18:26
that they entered into a relationship
00:18:28
with God through Abraham
00:18:32
who is considered to be the first Hebrew
00:18:35
on through Moses who is considered the
00:18:37
Liberator from The Exodus of the
00:18:41
children of Israel are children of God
00:18:44
from Egypt
00:18:46
and then ultimately up until Jesus of
00:18:49
Nazareth who is also considered to be a
00:18:54
Hebrew or considered to be Jewish Jewish
00:18:57
is a religion and Hebrew is a people so
00:19:01
we will talk more about that
00:19:05
give you a little more detail about that
00:19:08
but I want you to look at these Egyptian
00:19:11
gods
00:19:13
the role of the Pharaoh
00:19:15
I want you to look at what was the
00:19:18
common
00:19:19
everyday life like for an Egyptian what
00:19:22
were their occupations
00:19:25
we want to look at what the Egyptians
00:19:26
looked at
00:19:28
for entertainment
00:19:30
what types of educational processes did
00:19:33
the Egyptians have and this we have the
00:19:36
great energy the library at Alexandria
00:19:38
so we know from this culture the
00:19:41
Egyptians held education in a high
00:19:44
esteem because they had a great and
00:19:47
phenomenal library that alluded to
00:19:50
great undertaking from medical to uh
00:19:56
architectural
00:19:59
Warfare
00:20:03
a diverse plethora of knowledge in the
00:20:06
library at Alexandria which was
00:20:10
ultimately destroyed
00:20:12
hundreds of Scrolls of information gone
00:20:15
from Antiquity lost forever so we know
00:20:19
that they put precedence on education
00:20:22
not all societies put precedence on
00:20:26
learning not all societies put a put put
00:20:31
put pressure and and insight on
00:20:34
education but I want to look more into
00:20:38
the Pharaohs
00:20:40
their lineages and we definitely want to
00:20:43
look at what did the Egyptians believe
00:20:47
about religion
00:20:49
and in closing I want to say that the
00:20:53
Egyptians were the first
00:20:57
to believe in the concept of the
00:21:00
Judgment of the Soul
00:21:03
and afterlife and a concept of Heaven
00:21:07
and Hell there was no other religion
00:21:10
at the time in antiquity
00:21:15
