The Life of Scribes and Scribal Schools in Ancient Egypt

Very cool as always my guy

I remember when History with Cy was below 100,000 subs!

Yeah!!!

This was a great video. Hearing about the lives of the people who kept communities working is what I find most interesting about history. What was life like for people who weren’t kings or priests. Scribes have given a lot of information about their lives in private letters and writings. That’s the real history. Great work Cy.

Fascinating

You may want to remaster this with higher volume, I have some difficulty listening even with all the volume sliders maxed. Otherwise very good, like always.

First time ever that I saw your face, I was actually surprised to realize that the voice has a body lol I wasn't expecting that

Great stuff, Cy! I love these slice-of-life videos that describe the lives of comparatively average ancient people.

thanks Cy

History with cy ! Never enough 🛖🏹 brilliant channel 🛡⚔️

It is insane how detailed pictures of everyday life those documents can offer, 4000 years later. Great video!

I adored this so much. I would love love love to know more about the the alleged scriptorium at Qumran. I know that no Christian documents were recovered at Qumran however ... after discussing what Qumran means to Judaism, it must be seriously evaluated what it also might have meant to the original Christians. I know the ways in which academia dismisses these notions, based on prejudice toward religion and political appeasement. Yet the heart and mind do seek the truth.

I wish I were an ancient Egyptian scribe.

Priest: What are you writing?
Scribe: I'm recording the grains of dust around the feet of the statue of Ramesses at Abu Simbel.
Priest: Why?
Scribe: So the people will know.
Priest: What people? Nobody cares about that.
Scribe: PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE MIGHT!!

Oh you are wetting my appetite for Dynasty XIII

its letters, not hieroglyphs. so constant alphabet exists, no "new hieroglyphs" added. its fommon misconception among Europeans, while that letters always was "decifered" and well known and well read by Arabs and books about it always was and is available and famous

Very informative 🤗 thank you Cy!!

Awesome work!

Cy, all of your work is excellent.
All of it!

There were really more scribes than construction workers (boat builders as well) in Ancient Egypt. If so, how do you tell?

"There is a basic principle that distinguishes a hot medium like radio from a cool one like the telephone, or a hot medium like the movie from a cool one like TV. A hot medium is one that extends one single sense in "high definition." High definition is the state of being well filled with data...
Hot media are, therefore, low in participation, and cool media are high in participation or completion by the audience...
A cool medium like hieroglyphic or ideogrammic written characters has very different effects from the hot and explosive medium of the phonetic alphabet."
[Understanding Media: The Extension of Man, Marshall McLuhan, 1964, Ch. 2: Hot Media and Cold]

Have you ever heard Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last speech given? I am the only one who sees a Lil trick of rhetoric he threw in it. But, I think YOU may be the only other person who can see/hear it. I guess, it could be considered a "coincidence ", but I consider this "phenomena" in line with Carl Jung's concept of "Synchronicity ". But, maybe I am just a troll? Check it out. Great work. Been a subscriber for over 2 years now.
You helped me so much. From YOU I theorized "Abram" is a literary tool to actually refer to Ibin-Sin. But, that is another story....

It is funny to note, that scribes could write and read, but masons did not. As a result, there are quite some spelling mistakes in Egyptian tombs.

Nice work👍👍👍👍

Ancient scribes of India are called - KAYASTHA. Very similar history to the scribes of ancient Egypt. Great video. thank you for uploading

I guess just like today, scientists, lawyers, military officers, engineers are still well respected amd services are sought for. Five thousand year history of scribedom.

(As an engineer I have some bias of course)

Thank you for making this video!

Praise be to the scribes of old indeed.

People like you are the scribes of our time, and so thank you for all the historical videos
