- The Great Inscription of Amen-Em-Heb details the rise of an Egyptian soldier to commander of the Pharaoh's army, chronicling the battles in which he fought and the enemies he defeated and took prisoner.
Amen-Em-Heb served as a soldier in the Egyptian army under Pharaoh Thutmose III (1479 BC to 1425 BC) and under his son Amenhotep II.
Most notably, Amen-Em-Heb fought a bull elephant in hand-to-hand combat and emerged victorious, hacking off the the beast's foot while it was still alive. His skills as a soldier brought him to the Pharaoh's attention, who rewarded him with wealth and promotion.

This guy was flawless at taking prisoners in bulk!
How do you think slavery became such a big thing?
Listening to the tales of this ancient warrior's victories recounted by Sargon is like having warm butter poured into my ear.
The literal ancient Egyptian says of the elephant battle that Amenemheb cut of it's "hand". I would imagine that cutting off an elephant's foot would be quite a difficult task. The thought is that he actually cut off the end of the trunk, not the foot.
Maybe they were much taller and stronger in those days.
I really wish this channel of yours was a bit more active with it's content, sagon.
I realise it's a bit too demanding, but it'd be nice
do you mean Lacuna
la·cu·na (noun):
an unfilled space or interval; a gap.
a missing portion in a book or manuscript.
They Wuz Kangz.
+UncannyMatt OMFG LOL!
Ayo hol up hol up hol up
When white people think Europeans were the reason for Egyptian civilization.
Mughal-e-Azam Dey wuzn't kangs, we wuz!
1:28 that ain't a great reward fam
As a big giant Egyptophile, thanks for this video!
I have to be in the right mood to listen to these, but I'm always glad they're here. Major props for putting the original source material out there for the world to listen to.
im so glad these are back, this is by far your best content
*Sargon:* "To follow the god who penetrates..."
*Feminists:* Raaaaaaapppppeeee!!!
+ZURATAMA1324 I bow down before thy
ps; hello again, have a good day~
"Under fuck-knows the third"
Being pharaoh sounds like it would have been annoying. Imagine everyone speaking to you like this in such a cloyingly sycophantic manner _all the time._ And then, when someone didn't that would be even more annoying, because you're a god, damn it.
in b4 "WE WUZ KANGS N SHIT"
+jetlee4life5164 too late n shit lol
+JAKECUB100 we blacks tend to be.
I gatta say, this channel is quite fun.
If I turn down the brightness on my monitor the people in these pictures become Africans; WE WUZ KANGS N SHIT!!!
Pretty cool, i was unaware of this inscription.
TIL what lacuna means (I'm from germany).
In the previous videos I always wondered why the egyptians would say it constantly and at absolutely random passages. I thought it was some kind of phrase.
+God Emperor Trump Just for clarification, Lacuna means "an unreadable part".
Is that "lagunah" a phrase or word to indicate portion of the translation missing or what? It seems to be prevalent in every ancient texts that you get your hands on XD
Yes. It comes from the latin for "lake" or more aptly any sort of depression in the ground that collects water. The best equivalent to the literary use of it would be a gap.
Good to know, thank you for clarification =_=
@ 2:13
he also gives derp-faces eternally:

(Seriously though: guy was a badass: he even practically becomes the subject of this guy's autobiography).
Hey Sargon, do you think you could you do an audio recording of Marcus Aurelius Meditations? That would be awesome.
4:54 "and to follow god, who penetrates" that´s my god
I hate that Lacuna guy! Always writing his name in ancient scripts!
That's offensive! we don't know the preferred gender pronoun of lacuna
Lacuna sounds like a pokemon name..was he a japanese perhaps?
Lacuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
I bet he's a Jew.
+Drew McTygue Actually, we do. It's derived from the Latin lacuna, meaning a hole or defect. And even better, lacuna is feminine. YOU WERE ALL WRONG!
Etymology, bitch!
Wow
kept re-listening to the first five/six seconds hearing "FuckKnows the third" and was wondering if this was a troll. got a good laugh out of this.
if you make a video explaining the clusterfuck that was the war of the league of cambri i will love u forever
Can someone please explain to me what lacuna here means ?
It means that part of the document is missing, I suppose
+Kamjay What about end of paragraph ?
Thank you both.
Rather detailed for a pictograph language
Whats Lukuna mean?
Chris Pie All Lacuna, it's like a lost gap in the text.
Kick butt and taking names
hmm interesting
i wonder what will be next....
lacuna
Sargon, I have 2 words for you Plato's Republic
In the rest of the story (lacuna)
Lakuna?
"missing part"
What is Aleppo?
Who is Lacuna?
Aleppo is an early 20th century anti tank artillery used by the British. Lacuna is some guy who writes his name all over ancient manuscripts.
Lacuna
and then Lacuna
The King Of The North! :p
HOL UP!
*smacks lips*
Google translate tried to translate this, haha.
also, is this "we wuz kings/kangs" supposed to mean? .-.
it means (lacuna)
Weeaboocrusher ???
"Rising like Horus, son if ISIS"...okay that sounded weird for a moment. But isnt it interesting how the Flag of ISIS has an white disk in the middle...like the Sun-Crown that Horus wears? Coincidence?
+Terrorkekx 100% unrelated. As a pagan that worships the Egyptian Gods of old, that I can assure you. ISIS is the opposite of what my Gods would want.
@@melonfox17 You workship Egyptian gods? Are you Egyptian? If not, why?
great vid, but i got a bit of a kick out of hearing your kid in the background, lol, cute ;)
"Then the king of north & south - the truth speaker - ascended to heaven to unite himself with the solar disc and to follow god who penetrates when he makes himself luminous under the form of the solar disc, which illuminates the sky at the same time that it shines. The king - the son of the Sun, Amenhotep, the giver of life - establishing himself on the throne of his father... All the mountain and plane, he granted unto them the breath of life.." (4:45)
