I love ancient Egypt. I have been planning to become an archeologist or an Egyptologist since I was a fourth grader. I’m almost through high school, just one more year!
I don’t agree with some of the jobs that Archeo’s do but I hope you land the job! :)
@@ssterlingdve why is that?
goodluck
@@samrobles471 it has to do with death wishes,no one digs up a graves now do they. so ig it’s just an opinion
Good luck!
I can do ancient Egypt all day,everyday
Soooo true...
Have you traveled there yett??
Have you paid attention to the comments or do you just believe Communist Propaganda as soon as you see it!
Look up Egyptomane and see if it applies to you.
Myself also. But it's also awesome that little by little the truth is coming out
@@KennyMcCormick99 It was one of the most amazing two weeks of my life. Unfortunately I was still reeling from chemo effects and some seemed like a blur. It's beyond any words.
As a shut-in, disabled vet I want to say how much I appreciate your fine programs.
I love studying history and it's channels like yours that help bring the classroom to my bedside.
Thank you for producing these thought-provoking programs!
Thank you so much for your service Sir.
Wishing you ALL the best.
I also am disabled and these programs are a blessing, I can travel without leaving the comfort of home..
Peace in abundance
@@samanthalake4289 Thank you for your kind words, Samantha. Be well...my fondest regards.
@@coldwarsarge7592 you're welcome Sir. I appreciate you, and I thank you. Kind regards be well Sir.
Thank you for your service sir, I don't know what service you where but Semper Fi from a marine. Like you I love to watch documentories and history.
@@samanthalake4289 Hear hear. Hooah!
its been thought for many years that everything in tuts tomb were not actually his , this was his mothers tomb prepared for her for when she died , however due to how suddenly tut died he was placed inside his mothers tomb because there was no time to have a tomb built for him , tombs take years to build and fill , and since tut was a young man when he passed he had not started his tomb build yet .
There is also the suggestion that the objects belonged to his older sister Meritaten as it has been noted that her name has been covered by Tutankhamun's on some of the finds.
Tombs are started the day a king sits on the throne.
All of tuts treasures are mostly recycled and many altered items plus his father and mother were not popular with the high priests so it's been suggested to eradicate this era everything was placed in tuts tomb
I appreciate the information
How many years does it take to build a tomb?
I'm now 75. I've been fascinated by ancient Egyptian documentaries and historical stories. There's been so many new discoveries in my lifetime, I wish that I could somehow see what will be found out after I'm gone! Maybe I will 🙄😏.
Most of this stuff on this program is just made up to entertain the masses. Is it so hard to make a story of the true or they just don't have anyone on staff that know anything.
God bless you
How do you feel about the people whose ancestors built these things you are fascinated about ? I mean (black) melanated people ?
@@bismarkadu-num5834 I'm sorry but I'm not sure that I understand your point?
Yea, once I'm free of body. I want to move through time and check out some things as well. But there are ones/Things to fear. Run and hide that has saved me but then you just forget.
Or maybe the stillborn children were placed in dads tomb to accompany him, simply because he was daddy. Why would that be shocking?
Because ladies n girls were used for magic purpose aswell. So maybe it's for ritual purpose to protect in Afterlife
Is there anything normal with tut?
@@SobeAditi no One exactly knows reality .. everyone is just guessing
That certainly makes sense to me. Both Tutankamen & his father's (Akenaten) expectation would be to meet those children in the Afterlife
@@SobeAditi 😆! ! What's "normal" about ANYTHING in Egyptology? Gotta admit it's a rich, multilayered enigma. Egyptian history & artifacts will keep people puzzled for generations to come
Since this show was made, it is now known that the tomb for Tut was orginally made for Ay, and that Ay comandeered the tomb originally intended for Tut. You need to see the tomb of Ay to see what Tut was supposed to have been interred in.
The tomb was originally made for his father's favorite wife, his own stepmother as well as mother-in-law, his wife's/ sister's mother - Nefertiti. They were all related. Ay was an uncle to Tut. and yes, he took Tut's tomb, that is correct.
Maybe that is why this treasure was never stolen and lost to history.
on a separate note, as far back as I can remember, as a little girl, I was always fascinated and anxious to see the mummies in the Field Museum in Chicago - I can still "smell" the distinct smell where the mummies were ! I was always amazed and inquisitive about them, ancient Egypt, and of course, Cleopatra !
My favorite place was the Egyptian permanent exhibition at the Met in NYC when I was a child. My mother never worried, 'cause I'd be in there for hours!
Went there as a school girl when the Tut Exhibit was in the city. Also went to the Oriental Museum. Field trips.
We have a legit englassed mummy here, too :) glad I got to visit the museum as a tot and twice in recent years before covid19. Would love to go back. I forgot the mummy's name :(
@@StephiSensei26 do they still have this at the Met today? Darn if they do! I finally got to go to the Met in person a few years back but there was too little time and I didn't hear of this. Bummer
@@TheCandiceWang I hope they do. It's been a very long time ago, since I was at the Met. It would surprise me greatly and sadden me even more, if their renowned permanent Egyptian wing, was no longer there. Even if some of it was out on exhibition elsewhere, there would still be plenty to see. Thank you.
I LOVE Egyptian history
Who doesn’t!
No such thing as Egyptian history! The name of the land before Greco-Roman occupation was Kemet.
Where else on Earth would you find a place that has been hit by cataclysmic events which have half melted statues, or blown them apart, as well as stone boxes, that somehow got into the serapeaum, when there is no overhead shaft to lower them down, and yet have precision cut as if somehow ancient machines were used. with laser like precision....certainly not in South America...

I love documentaries especially the ones about ancient Egypt
I use these documentaries as my lullabies
I have a love-hate relationship with this kind of things,
The tombs were not meant to be opened nor touched ever again after they buried Mr Tut, or any of them, important characters. I believe nobody wants to have their tombs open, have their things being taken away and being disturbed while dead. We can see clearly that they tried to build walls and more wall for (stealers or this kind of people who wanted to take the pharaohs out of their tombs) to get tired or distracted and leave the mummies where they were and just go away. But they kept digging until they took everything out. And it kinda makes me mad.
BUT on the other side, I enjoy learning all these details like, male pharaohs tombs have a left turn and females pharaohs tombs have a right turns, etc. That's my humble point of view... :)
If that were true then they never would have written their names on Cartouches to have them read and spoken aloud again in the far off future so that they could gain immortality... LOL Completely and utterly ridiculous.
@@M.Campbell-Sherwood but isn’t that just like saying people today put dead people’s name’s on tombstones so because of that we could just start digging up graves now?
@@leahj9374 It's not the same thing. The graves are out in the open for all to see, while Cartouches are hidden beneath the ground waiting to be found. All you have to do is study Egyptology long enough to find out they WANTED to be remembered. Its kind of like with Hispanic people (Mexico as well as Central and South America) and their Ofrenda tradition. They just use photos rather than a Cartouche. To keep the name going and the memory of the person eternal you have to know that person's name and speak it. You can't do that if they stay hidden and buried from the world. And like the removal of a photograph from the Ofrenda, the spirit is no longer eternal. They have a time limit (basically when anyone who knew them personally is gone as well).
Mr Tut. 🤣 I know weren't trying to be funny but I have to thank you for the chuckle. It's been a rough day. So again, thank you. 😁
It’s a but creepy when you realize we are focused on tombs it makes it macabre. What was their living decore like? Ours is very different from our dead.
Wow, we love these type of shows. Very very good
What would be even better is for them to release all the hidden history they have stolen from the world.
I was not more than 10 when I told my parents I wanted to be an archeologist. But life got in my way, but I still watch these type of shows and novels.
It is the government that curtails the exploration by limiting the amount and when it can be done. They also require that the excavation be done by at least some Egyptians. Not only were many of the tombs raised shortly after the interment, they continued through the early 1920"s when Howard Carter makes the discovery of Tutankhaman and all sorts of explorers flocked to the area. As in the grave robbers, they could care a fig about these precious artifacts. Their only interest was in the monetary value of the gold, for instance. There was also looting during the Howard Cartier dig. By this time, the looters realized the value of the items the found was over and beyond their precious metals and jewels. The reason so many mummies have not been found in tact, was that the early grave robbers didn't see any value in the mummies, they just rifled through the sarcophagus without giving a thought to the historical value. Even though the Egyptians generally identified the sarcophagus by inscribed their name and a biography of the person, but the grave robbers had no interest in the identity of the mummy. Bones were scattered around. Some were put in another's coffin. Modern DNA capabilities have been used recently to put names to some of the "unknowns." But unfortunately, the Egyptian government has and continues to be unwelcoming to those who have come to steal "their" country's treasures.
Really? I thought you supported Authentic Academia, rather than Mainstream.
I must be confused with my subscriptions.
@@vegapunk-369 Just wondering who the "they" might be that has stolen all hidden history.
Egypt is a fascinating country to explore. Just sitting on the bottom stone of a pyramid and really feeling it. That was placed there in the 26th century BC. Mind blowing
I have a picture of my then one year old sitting on the bottoms stone.
Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization the Greeks came up with the name Egypt it's online look it up Ancient Egypt was pure African people period not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs
100 true facts 💯 facts
I was one of thousands who stood in line for six hours to see the King Tut exhibition at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC more than 4 decades ago. The mystique of Egyptian civilisation is a powerful force.
We went on a Wednesday, in Chicago. No line. It was magnificent, wasn't it?
I stood in line in Chicago.
If you queued for six hours, you should not be letting the words "King Tut" pass your lips!!
Hardly surprising that Tuts parents were brother and sister. It was extremely common for royal marriages to be between siblings thus protecting the royal blood line.
Ah ... if they had only understood genetics as well as they understood stone working.
No. It wasn't that common. His grandmother Tiye was a commoner. Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, is of unkhown origin, but since she is't reffered as King's daughter than she wasn't a sister of Akhenaten.
@@Misseria I repeat, it was very common forEgyptian royalty to marry their siblings...it’s a well known fact.
It was not common among royalty of other cultures at the time. The Egyptians did it because they inherited their culture from Mesopotamia, where the original Egyptians came from. The Ptolemies eventually also adopted this practice from their Egyptian subjects.
Sometimes I don't think so !⛰
If I never knew my daughters in life and I still knew I had a chance to know them in death, I’d definitely give it a shot. Don’t know how they could protect him on his journey? Maybe they were the first mini Cain Grasshoppers.
The Female was seen as a protector - a mother - a sister.
They were the most liberated women for ages, before and well-after the Egyptian Kingdom ended.
Like Goddesses, they had a specific power and symbolism no man could equate to, men themselves having their own revered symbolism, too.
The Priests were the one having the Tombs raided as well.
Such a amazing video. Always loved the mystery of Egypt. Thank u so much for this video
This appears to be a collection of incomplete segments from films appearing on TV channels. Lots of questions, few answers.
I was wondering why this seemed to be all over the place.
@@shelbyclark3733 because it is fascinating
In college one of my professors said that there was no need for a second eye: The piece, he said, was made as a model for sculptors and others who would make copies of the image of Nefertiti. They wouldn't have been allowed to see her in person, but were allowed to look at the sample. There would have been no need to spend the money and time on a second eye, when the original carving was not intended to be displayed, but only to be used as a model for others.
Your Professor was right. There a lot of theories (Actual theories from facts and two sided discussions not like Qanon type 'theories') that the bust of Nefertiti wasnt even created in her Lifetime, not even her Century. But a later copy...Muuuuuuch laaaaater 18th or 19th Century Copy
What's funny is everyone looks at the color plates of the bust that are only twenty years old or so but not the older black and white plates from just after it was found and taken to Berlin. In the older plates, the left eye socket looks damaged, almost as if the eye was gorged out by someone trying to keep the eye and bust intact. This to me says that the eye in the bust might be a replacement from when the bust was originally made with the original eyes appropriated by someone. Also, the bust most likely was made during Nefertiti's lifetime: after her death, at least two pharoah's made a practice of obliterating the names and images of the Heretic King and his blasphemous Queen.
I always love watching these. So interesting! Thank you for these! 🖤
Why is that when we "excavate" a tomb and it is empty do we always say it was robbed?? Maybe we are just looking at previous excavations by earlier cultures.
Exactly.
And they put them back? Lol
Most of these so-called tombs were in fact not tombs at all. Never underestimate the lengths rich and powerful men will go to in order to stay rich and powerful. It's a major bummer but the truth could provide an avenue which humanity would use to once again unlock the long-lost secrets of free & renewable energy, thus the masquerade must be maintained.
True some were "robbed" by later Pharoahs when Egypt was in financial need and they couldn't produce their own golden materials to put in their own tombs.
P.S. not just my opinion but what Egyptologists said.
Most of the tombs in the valley of the Kings were more likely opened up and the items recycled by the high priests especially during financially hard times
Great doco!! I’d hate to be the party pooper, but the “unsealed” tomb at the end of this doco was unsurprisingly not so “unsealed” lol do you honestly think the Egyptian dude that controls all the ancient Egyptian artefacts would let foreigners unseal a sealed Egyptian tomb that had been sealed for 4,000 years hahaha really lol 😂
🤔🤔🤔
Yeah - interesting point there !
I love ancient Egypt. Especially tombs. Fascinating!
Madly in love with ancient Egypt can watch all day long 💕
Only because they built the pyramids, with technology/knowledge that does not match that era. It is puzzling to great minds that exist in our time.
Loved this compilation! Thanks for sharing! Ancient Egypt is so fascinating!
Yes ancient Kemet is very fascinating
I love Egypt 🇪🇬 from Italy 🇮🇹 we are directly in front of each other in the Mediterranean and this is a wonderful thing🇪🇬🇮🇹❤

THis is FAKE!!!
Hahahaha, gotta love that electric sander. I wonder if the Ancients use gas or diesel generators? 🤣😂👍 Good job, Smithsonian. You dun real good.
😂
Let me explain something to all of you about Ancient Egypt :
The Biggest Pyramid was built in about 20 years and it's built of 2 million stones, some of them are 60 tons of weight and the smallest are 2 tones.
With simple calculation we get this result:
2000000/20= 100000 stones per year
100000/365= 273.9 stones per day
273.9/24= 11.4 stones per hour
That means that in order to achieve such a Pyramid we need to work 24 hours a day non stop, using thousands of manpower, special construction devices and cranes, working under the very hot weather of Egyptian Desert, moving huge stones out of hundreds of miles away & bring it to the construction site and the most important is the organisation of the work & the brilliant mathematicians who should calculate each stone where to put & how to put, don't forget that the top hight of the Pyramid is 146.7 meters above the ground and the ground should resist the huge weight & pressure of the Pyramid's stones all together, so who are those people who could achieve such an incredible work 5000 years ago!? 💪🧠
Meters,kilometers, mega meters, what happened to inches n feet?
@@davidgallegos8706 Only used by the USA. The rest of the world laughs at you.
New Documentary, The Phenomenon. A must watch. Ty
I appreciate your presentations and the awesome work being carried out which keeps me fascinated with all your findings and interpretations. Thank you.
How fascinating the history is, indeed!
I saw on another documentary that the reason that the eye was missing from the nefertitti bust is it is an original that all other busts were made from. The missing eye tells how deep to set the eye.
yes, her other eye was crystal blue, like as seen in the earliest dynasties, even the princly scribes, google image blue eyed egyptians...
@@NeptunesLagoonIt was fake, it was created in the 20th century , some of the bodies were also fake, to steal culture, it's shameful.
@Julie J agreed, red ochre males and pale females is a Caucasian artistic expression, as seen in Minoan, Etruscans, mitanni, and Greek art of the period, none were blak.
@@earthlinggalactical8200 statements completely unsupported by facts
@@NeptunesLagoon A scientific fact is that the first humans were blacks in Africa specifically in Kenya or so, before spreading through the African continent. The different races were born due to evolution of the blacks who migrated to other parts of the world. So the human race can be traced back to the black man and woman.
Mind you, if current Egyptians are middle Eastern and European , then you are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians because invasions and interactions of Ancient Egyptians with Middle East and Europeans started many centuries after upper and lower Egypt was united into one Egypt by the first Pharaoh, Nemes.
The most common statements by current Egyptians though are, Egyptians are uniquely Egyptians, they are not blacks or white. Not African or Middle Eastern or European. It is also claimed that their admixture is just a bit of Middle Eastern and European and had insignificant changes to their DNA and features. However, when technology is used to recreate the looks of some Pharoahs and Queens, their features are rather similar to Africans in Horn of Africa like Somalia, Sudan, etc than modern day Egyptians. What exactly is the origin story of Ancient Egyptians then? How did they come to be ? Can they be traced back to the first humans (blacks) of Africa like all human races.? Were they part of the blacks who migrated from Kenya and settled in Egypt and later evolved to white and olived skinned looking ones? Were the black Egyptians bred out? did they migrate back into Sub Sahara Africa especially countries in the horn of Africa? Or did you come from the Middle East and Europe ? Like it or not, there are different school of thoughts and questions with regards to who Ancient Egyptians really were and looked like and until the answers add up, History, Science and technology will bring more controversies.
I went to Egypt in 2000. I would love to go back seeing that I went through such a sensory overload that it's hard to keep everything I saw in my mind. If anyone has the chance, go to experience an incredible journey.
Here now and even with the about a month we have here we still can’t come close to seeing everything.
@@ashleyn8946 Jee, thanks. I'm stuck here recovering from the wuhan plague and you have the trip of a lifetime? I'm a bit on the jealous side. Please make sure you have time to see Edfu. In a way that was my favorite place. I have a thing for falcons. Enjoy your time there. The one description I give people regarding Egypt is that it's massive sensory overload. Everywhere you look, there is an incredible sight. Don't forget the Bent Pyramid.
Thanks for the great videos, Smithsonian. They are entertaining as well as educational with stunning visuals and knowledgeable experts. However, for as a hearing impaired person I sometimes have to rewind multiple times to understand. Please consider adding subtitles to all your videos. Keep up the great work!
I love it too. I loved it from a very young age have several very good books and we went there in2004. It was great love to go there again.
My husband and I had a holiday where we went down the Nile by boat. When we arrived (at the boat) it was 5pm and pitch dark . I stood on the top deck; nobody around except my husband. I said: "I'm Really here! ""I'M REALLY HERE"!!!!! ( I LOVE EGYPT! )
What mess me up is how the original discovery all the earlier findings they were extremely dark ,to now how they look white ?
That is not true, let it go.
@Julie J Of course they were black African. Why should it bother you if you're not black African. I'm sure there's a rich history of whatever continent you come from. Go claim it, and leave Africa alone. Shame on you!
@@cruisepaige please prove that it's untrue
No, I don't think this is why Tut's tomb was so stuffed with all those different objects and hastily sealed.
I say that they unloaded the tombs of the treasures over near Armana and stuck them all in with King Tut.
They abandoned Armana including the tombs.
Now I believe we have to combine what we are hearing from this episode to also another episode that explains that Tutankhamun's tomb was actually meant and intended for a female pharaoh instead but because his death was sudden there was sort of a rush job. Everything that was in the tomb was originally intended for her but instead they had to give it to him as a last minute thing. So we would have to I guess combine that information with this information and then we sort of see a whole story filled out.
The point is no one is sure whose tomb Tut was actually interred in. Part of an unused tomb for a female of unknown origin? A never finished tomb for a noble? We don't know who this tomb was intended for--or even if it was a tomb originally. It is almost certain that Ay, Tut's successor, appropriated Tut's unfinished tomb for his own use. One thing that is certain is that Tut died so suddenly nothing was ready for his tomb so most of what was packed into his final resting place (and probably at least one of his coffins) belonged to someone else. A lot of the grave goods look like they were used in the palace, furniture that was made for the everyday use of his ancestors.
There is supposed to be a hidden door in one of the walls of his burial chamber that actually leads to the rest of the tomb complex, which was apparently made for His Mother, Nefertiti & no one has ever been given permission to even drill a tiny hole in the wall for one of those tiny cameras to be poked through...

Yes it was the African Egyptians that were the great builders and there were scrolls in the great
Library even if potions and cures for all ailments these scrolls were not just of those things there were inventions that has been kept from the world say it would throw things out of place for doctors more or less our governments have kept us back when we could be more advanced possibly by 500 or more years. They do not want cures to soon. Technology would mess up the rich wanting to be greedy with minerals extracted from mining. Computers and solar is a big change, next will be advanced vehicles. Possibly air vehicles not land vehicles.
@@jannettebrown2033 the only thing that IS NOT "free", and IS easily "replenished", is human resource.
With advances in robotics, human resource has great competition. Unlike minerals, computers/programs, solar, etc...which is pretty "free" but difficult to "replenish". You would not want to mess with "replenishing"/"exhausting" computers and their programs or solar (sun).
And this planet as is will not last 500 years.

That's cheating! Good 👍 observation!!
@@Susanc06
Hi.
Thank you.
@Ylnevaeh Stsoh
Hello.
I believe you are right.
They have to cheat because grinding rocks together is not how it was done. There is lost ancient technology used and the marks can be seen all over. Limestone is soft compared to granite which makes this idea even sillier.
@@elissitdesign It was a limestone block. Where was the granite?
The worship of Aten actually started with his father,
Amenhotep III.
He and Wife, Queen Tiye started in the middle of their reign to start worshiping Aten who, was a very old God, and not invented by Akhenaten who original name was (Amenhotep IV)

Thank you Smithsonian for the long video! Truly!
What happened to the information that came out almost a year ago that there was an inscription on tuts outside tomb and may point to another tomb.
Thank you very much for this!!
Why were all the stories cut short and mashed up together with no link to the next story?
Did anyone else notice that the stories weren't consistent with one another and only jumped from one subject to the next?
I'm disappointed, I wanted to see the rest of the last subject but sadly it ended up just being a teaser trailer.
yeah
I think Tut's mask was that of Queen Tiye. If you look at the bust of Tiye and the mask of Tut they are quite similar.
If you are fast enough to pause it just right on 8:53 then you can see the a skull that looks bigger than a normal persons. Don't think we were meant to see that hence the reason it went by so fast.
I don't believe nothing ya'll say. Everything comes from your mouth is lie. Egypt is a black civilization. Gentile couldn't live in the sun, they lived in CAVES in Europe. Ya'll know the truth about our ansector home land. Ya'll trying to steal our HERITAGE.

I love learning more thank you
The guy using sand and a rock to grind down that rock was funny.. in one quick scene u can see him holding an electric angle grinder... and to think he almost tricked me to think he grinded that whole rock surface flat with good ol elbow grease :p
Tut is important because he was the last of the royals and what was left of his family put the families treasures in it. To keep it out of usurpers hands
Naive point of view. Power shifted. The treasures were chump change and for the funereal only. Pharaoh had real wealth in gold crops armies and commerce. The stuff they were buried with was for show only.
Wow!! I learned a lot ~
Your dedication to bringing history into the lives of others, especially those facing challenges, is truly inspiring. Thank you for your service, and I'm glad our programs can offer you a window into the world of history. Wishing you all the best in your studies and pursuits!
That Tutankhamun's death mask, was not originally made for him, perhaps.. However, stating one reason for that being having pierced ears? There are other statues of Tutankhamun, indeed also his presumed father Akhenaten, with pierced ears!
They were not just pierced but they wore plugs! Yes, the men. Earrings were for both men and women.
@@TheRobyynn I think they're wrong to give the reason that the mask was not originally made for Tutankhamun, being it has pierced ears. Yes, both men & women had pierced ears also. So if the face itself is of Tutankhamun & he did have pierced ears in real life, then surely the rest of the mask could have or most probably was made for him.
The person in king Tuts mask is not him.
@@rosejames5172 Theres no evidence the mask isn't Tutankhamun.
Greeks and Egyptians!
Two races to go to, if u r into history!!
Scythians, Thracians, Phonetians, Mesopotamians, Anatolians, Indigenous Australians, Native Americans etc etc .....so much more out there 🤷🏼♀️
uhhh ... China?
New Zealand also has megalithic sites and giant skeletons but the natives stopped exploitations and good on them 👍
Is there a race called Egyptians? furthermore, the greeks were educated by black Africans
@@kinghorus4276 europeans were educated by Africans

Thanks for the laugh.
This is a hodgepodge of various clips taken from several programs from the Smithsonian cable channel. They didn't do a very good job. My guess is because of copyright laws.
Points made are well thought out and presented.
These statues & everything from this location has been pulling me for years to pay attention to them.💯💯
Akenatens family lineage is R1b, and mtdna K, double verified now...
So Asian, now eh?
@@jaygarit9177 look up R1b...
Baby mummies = 💔
Very interesting,look forward to seeing more.
Very interesting Egptian history. My favourite subject!!
so how did they manage to transport all those pounds of rock up there to the highest stone up there?
. Egyptians please help me.
Many theories Ramps trolleys pulleys levers are just a few
The same way Edward Leedskalnin built the Coral Castle; acoustic levitation.
If you've never heard of the Coral Castle or acoustic levitation then I highly recommend looking into it, and prepare to be shocked!
@@Grimes907 very cool!
@@TheCandiceWang The truth is out there
The mummy of akhenaten, do we know for sure it's his mummy? He is one of the most interesting pharaohs ever!
No that mummy now has been presumed to be tuts older half brother by DNA.
I had been to the Valley of the Kings and the Cairo Museum in November 2023. What a fascinating place Egypt is.
Love your videos guys keep going
Someone robbed the burial chamber before we could rob it!
Yeah
Anyone else's brain go towards Josh Gates, especially after seeing where they are filming this?? LOL
THANK YOU! DREAMS COME TRUE LOL
Finally uploading the entire episode 🙌
No respect for the dead
IKR?! I always said, Archaeologist rob graves legally. If you or I do such a thing, we'll go to jail. Not that we would, but you understand my point.
@@vondahartsock-oneil3343 I personally would love the idea of someone digging my body up 2500 years from now and studying my life here on earth to the best of their abilities. I guess to each their own but I'll agree there was a point in time that more respect couldve been shown by archaeologists. In 2020 I would say they handle bodies and gravesites with much more respect than a 100 years ago. But when it comes to a tomb such as Tuts I personally believe it's a wonderful thing that his remains are in the hands of a museum and reason being it was only a matter of time before his gravegooods were found like every other pharaoh in the valley and had they been found by tomb raiders all would be lost, gold melted down and body desecrated. At least this way they're in a safe place and preserved at least for the foreseeable future.
@@vondahartsock-oneil3343 I’m sorry but your so wrong grave robbers destroy these ancient tombs and steal it’s priceless objects and even burn mummies how can you compare that to these archeologists? Most of the tombs were destroyed by tomb robbers were lucky we get to see these
@@PatrickCavanaugh0420 I’m conflicted. I don’t cate what happens to my own body when I die but it’s important to some cultures and people and I feel kind of fringes when I see graves being desecrated.
no respect at all
According to DNA tribe Tutankhamun was related to Southern Africans and Africans from the Great lakes
DNA proves all humans are related to africans.
it’s been a mystery as to why King Tut’s burial room was so small. they now think that both the boxes he was buried in, as well as the golden mask were for a female. it seems as if everything about his tomb and burial were rushed. very strange.
The construction of the mask was a rework. I saw the backside of it and it was obvious to me because I was learning to make jewelry back then.
Nice to see a younger generation take on this historical treasure and I hope and pray no one ever destroys it.
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
And there was his grinder power tool in his hand 😂
I want more! Please.
Akhenaten had only daughters. Tutankhamun was probably his nephew. Tut's older brother, Smenkhari reigned between Akhenaten and Tutankhamun. The outer coffin that toured the world, said to be the face of Tutankhamun, was really Smenkhari. The inner coffin, the Death Mask was molded accurately on Tut's face looks quite different, younger, as he really was. Markings on many of the items found in Tut's tomb show that they were made for the Pharaoh Smenkhari, but placed in Tutankhamun's tomb. The Canopic jars were made for a woman.
Ahkenaten only had daughters with NEFERITI. Like most Pharoahs, we know he har multiple wives - . We also have no proof yet that Smenkare is Ahkenaten son because we don't have proof of Smenkare's mummy being found, but considering we have a child missing from the tomb originally meant to be for Queen Kiya, it's possible Smenkare was his son, especially as Ahkenatens daughter Meritaten was the Great Royal Wife of Smenkare.
If the KV55 mummy is Smenkare, he likely predeceased Ahkenaten, as co-regent (common with eldest sons to co rule) as his rule was at the very end of Ahkenatens reign, and he's attested to only one year - the KV55 mummy is either Tuts father or brother. Either way, Ahkenaten had at least one son in ether Smenkare or Tut
We know from DNA, that the daughters of Tut were the granddaughters of Nefertiti in the maternal line, which backs up him marrying his half sister.
Tutankhamun's original name, Tutankhaten shows he was born as closely related as the daughter of Ahkenaten considering she too later changed her name when Tut became king. DNA shows his parents are full siblings, therefore his parents can't be Smenkare and Meritaten because Tuts mother, The Younger Lady, is also DNA proved to be the daughter of Amenhotep III.
Ahkenaten is known to be the younger son of his father, meaning Smenkare is unlikely to be his brother.
If Tut was Ahkenatens nephew, his mother or father would've been his regent
It was a hodgepodge of things belonging to others and things that were broken.
*looks like click bait*
Oh it’s Smithsonian nvm!
Weird emoji tho ;)
I love viewing thing from different perspectives.. critical thinking etc.. I feel that something aint adding up and seems like cover ups

Interesting technique. If Egyptians used it perhaps they would be finishing great pyramid now.
This is so cool!
I love my African Pharoahs🖤🖤
Loll 😂😂😂
