  1. Hi! I love your YouTube videos, and also struggle to understand a lot of what you say when you teach content. Are there any beginners books you would recommend to me or other beginners? I am an adult, and have a decent vocabulary. Not at your level though for a lot of the content. To be able to follow along more smoothly. Anyway, if you have time please, I would appreciate any book recommendations for beginners!

  2. Thank You Dr. Sledge for your amazing Channel and Scholarly documentaries. I have been watching them for several months now, and you are one of the most enjoyable educators on this topic on YouTube. I feel I can also speak in a more educated manner on these topics as a result of your high regard for historical and anthropological accuracy. I just bought one of your Thoth shirts to support your Channel. Shana Tovah and Blessings for the New Year.
