Daily Life in Egypt: Ancient and Modern, 1925 | From the Vaults

- Modern Egypt is a country of nearly one hundred million people, who live in densely populated cities like Cairo as well as towns and villages. A century ago, when this film was made, the population was much smaller, and to Western visitors the way of life along the Nile River appeared to resemble that of Pharaonic Egypt. Certain agricultural practices, and some festival traditions, seemed connected to the ancient past, echoing scenes decorating tombs from 3,500 years before. Among the first films made by The Met, “Daily Life in Egypt” features stunningly clear footage taken by the photographer Harry Burton and Albert M. Lythgoe, founding curator of the Museum’s Department of Egyptian Art.
As part of The Met’s 150th anniversary in 2020, each month we will release three to four films from the Museum’s extensive moving-image archive, which comprises over 1,500 films, both made and collected by the Museum, from the 1920s onward. This includes rarely seen artist profiles and documentaries, as well as process films about art-making techniques and behind-the-scenes footage of the Museum.

Proud to be Egyptian 🇪🇬
❤🇪🇬
This is the coolest history lesson I saw in my life.
Wonder what else they're hiding in those so-called vaults 🤔🤔🤔🙏🏾
Very truth telling video
It’s a shame how the native people are now displaced and looked down upon.
They are just Egyptian nubians
Not actual Egyptian
Nubia Is divided between egypt and sudan
@@aymnswlm9089 They are Egyptians and always were, and you're just lying to yourself.
These people are imposters
@@aymnswlm9089 They do not consider themselves Nubians, it is only the people in Cairo that call them that, and Europeans.
@@alphariusomegon4819 no they do and they have their own language
Greetings from Egypt and thanks for this great documentation.
They are alot darker than the occupants today
The first half of the video is Nubians, hence the cultural connection to ancient Egypt. The latter half is Cairo, hence no cultural link to Ancient Egypt.
@@kingmono They're not Nubians, but the original inhabitants before they were forced down to the Aswan region.
Exactly. Until the whitewashing started in the 1920's.
In whole Egyptian History nothing like that Ever Happened @@zakmitchell1935
The people today there look exactly the same, what is your point
Thank you for documenting how modern egyptians are keeping the customs of their ancestors in every aspect of their lives.
They are not related
@@redmiddlemist122 yes but current egyptians are not related to ancient
@@zion5321 lol yes we are

Very cool!
LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing, very cool
شكرا لك على هذا الفديوا التحفة دا
They will say the camera lens made the art and people seem darker than they appear...
Outstanding.
So very interesting. I was disappointed when it ended.
The first half of documentary where the culture is practised shows nubian Egyptians, the latter half that does not show ancient culture is Cairo Egyptians
Shut up, what a shame. They are Egyptians in every inch of Egypt. You are fake and obsessed with Egypt
No
Definitely not the same people

Great film
Incredible documentary! watched it after reading Eça de Queiroz book about his travel to Egypt in 1869 to visit the Suez canal inauguration. He describes everything you see in this documentary, but in his novelistic style, worth reading and being transported to old times.
Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to use some extracts of about twenty seconds in total from the report "Daily Life in Egypt: Ancient and Modern, 1925" from your CZcams channel on the montage of my next youtube video on the Egypt.I am teacher and I ignore your policy on your video productions. cordially
can't stop watching this wish i could go back there
i see the music credit at the end nice job
يالله جميل اوي ياريت لو نرجع لأيام زمان للأيام دي
يا الله *
Well well well
🔥
My grandfather house used the same farming mechanism decades ago.
Time mark 10:41. What kind of statue is that on the left?
Memnons.. It's twins... At past it was the gateway of valley of the kings
Josser ?
@@dennisjohnson6371 Amenhotep III
they are the Colossi of Memnon the road beside them is now lined with shops and stores the place where the men are winnowing the wheat is a parking lot for tour buses the hills in the distance are where Temple of Hatshepshut is located on the other side of the hills is Valley of the Kings this is all on west bank near Luxor...i was just there 3 weeks ago
PS what's the music.. Debussy?
"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn" sounds familiar.
music choice is bad but great documentary thank you
This is the style of music for silent documented film in the 1920s and the original soundtrack.
@@AT-gu8by it westernizes Egypt. Very orientalist perspective. Playing Egyptian music from the time would be more apt.
Unfortunately in Afghanistan in 2022, we use the same old ancient method until now..
3:50
The true Egyptians;
Notice the difference between them and the real Egyptians much darker
Thankfully, we know the current occupiers are invaders
I know it’s showing everyday life, but not one shot of the Pyramids or Sphinx? 🧐🤔
🇪🇬❤
Let’s watch this again in 2025.
You can see Many of them wearing ottoman Fez hat
10:34 is that an ancient statue in the back? 😳
Yes, Statue(s) of our King Amenhotep III located on west side of Nile land at Luxor / Theban Necropolis.
Colossi of Memnon
@@fraonour? Are you Arabic?
@@fraon i was just there to the left of the statues you will see a road and fields. today that stretch of road has stores/shops etc. all along it where the men are threshing the grain is now a parking lot for tour buses
It seems everything is done by hand - fully stainable?
That time tutankhamun tresure found 1922
Hopefully this settles the revisionist arguments.
Look at all the Africans. Love this
I noticed that.
Fr❤
Egyptian Africans yeah
Thanks dude, ❤ from egypt
Local Egyptians were originally dark complexion ppl until when Israelis who were lighter skin tone entered the country for shelter during Prophet Yusuf's time [Joseph]. And they became slaves to Egyptians for 400 years until Prophet Musa [Moses] rescued them. Egyptians got mixed with Israelis in those 400 years. All fair complexion Egyptians you see today are not pure!
Isrealites were a similar dark complexion, Israelis ( modern day) are not Israelites.
Genesis 10:6 tells you who they were and still are.
So when we see pictures of flying stuff in Egypt, does that mean they had the technology for aviation?? According to this logic they would have 😎😎
Free Egypt
from who
From the invaders the non ham seed you all know
From who lol 😅
Obviously the Egyptians there now look nothing like the ones of old!!…. Proof on film!! FEELINGS WILL BE HURT!!
I look like the people in the video 🤷🏽♂️
@@ahmedwasfy3639 is your skin brown?
@@BronzeSista yes
You see what you want to believe.
@@samyebeid4534 true, why does she care about skin
Where are the white Egyptians?
These people are from the ottoman empire placed there by eurpope
I'm confused. Why do they look so dark skinned?
Why are you confused, the indigenous people of the land were dark skinned.
@@EbsSevenSouth Egyptians (Aswan and nuba) are Dark Skinned
Cuz the Ancient Pharaonic people were Dark skin people, how deluded can you be?
@@EbsSeven I've never seen that before. How was I supposed to know this?
Every time I see Egyptians they're always looking like Arabian people. This is the first time I've ever seen anything associated with Egypt, look like this.
I guess Afrocentrics aren't photoshopping after all.
This NOT a Hollywood Movie..The Kings of Egypt...Most of the actors were Scottish, Irish or English...😂😂😂
😮 wow just mud and straw big bricks amazing, so that's what the Israelites what being beaten for😢😢😢
Fool
Nope, that was a blend. I've seen the authentic images. I understand the mechanics behind them.
It's similar to what happens in museums, where they blend invaders with genuine Pharaohs to create confusion, without explicitly stating their origins from the Libyan or Greco-Roman era.
Take a look at Egypt in the 1890s and early 1900s.
