- In the Egyptian museum, the mummified and fragile bodies of two baby girls are kept in special storage. Archaeologists believe they may have played a role in the burial ceremony of king Tutankhamun.

Imagine dying and then ending up in a museum millenia later
Bruh that's gonna be us one day lol
Always do!
They are dead. What does it matter?
Interesting from a scientific and history standpoint, but meaningless to the dead.
SlavSlendy not really. we aint royalties. probably just gonna throw us out to the trash
@@qtaro-7097 or grind our bones for ink like many Egyptian mummies were
If they were mummified then I think that shows they weren’t just objects, they were loved
How are they objects?? 💁🏻♀️
C•nnect_the_d•ts Π why don’t you read that comment again :)
@@user-uc5dm9bm7u i read it...but how a dead person becomes an object anyway?
They were 'loved' or 'not loved' are the 2 valid things here.
C•nnect_the_d•ts Π you aren’t even understanding his comment 🤦🏼♀️
C•nnect_the_d•ts Π “object” represents insignificance not necessarily that they are one
What if he just loved his children enough to want to be buried with them? He was a parent. In today's times, parents are still buried with their children if they so choose.
I. Robles He was a child himself. It actually disturbed me to know he had not one but two still borns.
@@ABirdOnTheMoon from what I understand, they had quite a bit of inbreeding happening so I'm not surprised to hear there was a marked rate of babies that didn't make it.
I. Robles Have you watched the 60 minutes Australian journalist report of how he died? I don’t think at the age of 19, he’d be interested in his children from a father point of view. He didn’t live in our era. I am pretty sure they had a significant value in protecting him especially after knowing that he broke his leg and suffered from an infection that took his life.
@@ABirdOnTheMoon I did not see that but like there have been young fathers like that that cared for their children, not just in this era either. I just find it ridiculous that everything needs to have a purpose in these kinds of things when it doesn't.
I doubt he cared much for them in life because they are girls. Girls were usually raised and cared for by the women in the palaces. The king would only care about his first born son as he will become the new king upon his death
Ancient Egypt was one of the only early cultures that thought highly of women
TheAmazingEmily 11 it’s really amazing to see. I have a lot of respect of them
Women were seen as equals among men, they could own property, and they could divorce their husbands. There’s more to it I’m sure but they definitely weren’t objectified or seen as lesser by the male population. Even woman could rule just as easily as a man. It was a better society for women than most during that time and even today.
I lived in Egypt. they consider Egypt as the mother of the world !
Celtic Ireland and Celtic societies also
Along with Vikings and Spartans
Probably cuz he wanted to “raise” them in the afterlife since he never met them. And he loved them.
Omg that’s so sad
And that God desterd
Did he not meet him?
Did he not meet them
Nope, he did Not! The key word here was: " Insurance". He needs their innocence to pass the judgement. Those two babies are part of ritual sacrifice
If I was a mummy I'd be so mad if someone desecrated my tomb and put me somewhere else
Me too. From the perspective of the ancients, we are interfering with their shot at the afterlife.
Starlight Dreamer there are actually a lot of people that die after they do this to tombs. It’s funny.
that's what i was thinking the whole time while watching the video
They say you will be cursed if you touch them or there belongings
You’d have no way of knowing if someone was messing with your body. When you die, the connection to your body disappears. So does your ties to this world. You cannot come back. You leave this earth. So therefore you would never know if anyone moved your remains or burned them.
I know they trying to over analyze, but I really think he just wanted to be buried with the children he didn’t get a chance to raise while he was living then he could be with them in the afterlife. I don’t understand why they can’t be upfront and say a father just wanted to be with his kids. How many parents are buried with their kids who left too soon even in modern times?
Respect. This is the realest comment and I couldn’t agree more!
My older brother died when he was a baby, and my parents have planned to be buried next to him.
Nvm
Yeah, but I feel like people especially pharaohs were really hard, rigid, and without feelings or emotion back then.
For example... Pharaohs of Egypt weren't the type to hug their kids...
Some had over 20 wives and even more children. They were really impersonal.
Amber l you cant really generalize ALL of them though, you dont know how every pharaoh treated their kids
The only reason we know of king Tut today is grave robbers never found his tomb. Otherwise he would have been forgotten to history.
Actually his tomb had been robbed just not completely...
@Ray 123 yeah. They found something I forget what and they investigated and found it in that secret area. I say something cause I do not remember what it was that led them to found it besides the robbing
@Ray 123 He died so early in his reign that his tomb hadn't been completed and most likely used another, smaller, already finished tomb. So small, it was impossible to think there would be something in there so they just left it through the ages until the XXth century
Question: So the scientists who dig up the remains and study them, to some extent are they not robbing the graves? Like they are disturbing a resting place. I’m just curious
He would have still been in history due to Egyptology!
Imagine the ghost of the mummies around them angry for assuming fake stories about them n their life.. Lol
I often think of that when I watch these shows lol
😁
Because they can obviously understand English....🤦🏾♀️
I found your answer question logic
@@Cy93 nice point
when the narator said his daughters were mummified and were buried inside his tomb I was like "awhh he loved his daughters.. I think thats why he wanted them to be w him" but then the woman said its bc so that they can protect him in the afterlife and I was like ://///////
Alosmolimin Robert that doesn’t mean he didn’t love them still. They were stillborn as well, it’s not like they were killed so they could be put in his tomb
They could be both
They say it like they’re so sure, it’s annoying. No, they were humans and they had emotions like love. People of ancient times were not some superficial humans who were just all “worship God worship God worship God”. They had normal, everyday lives, had fun, and had family time.
Ikr I was like Wtaf
I think he just loved his daughters, and wanted to be with them in the afterlife since he didn’t get to raise them. Just because they say something, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Could the reason just be that he loved his daughters and wanted them with him? Not everything has to be a tool or serve a purpose. Makes me wonder how much archaeologists tell us is wrong. Just like every new building, statue, or find must have religious significance. I don't automatically believe it.
Yeah it's like they forget that ancient humans also had feelings, it might have served some sort of spiritual purpose also but I think he just wanted them buried with him
Just keep in mind this is just one possible interpretation by one person and by no means the be all end all truth, no matter how dramatically they narrate it.
I agree that everything doesn't have to relate to religion, but Tutankhamen wouldn't have been able to know his daughters or to have had a fondness for them as they were both stillborn. But yes, he could have said that, for example, "they are my children, I want them to accompany me in the afterlife," without regard to any religious reason.
peekaboopixie exactly - what parent wants to be buried away from their children that left too early? Parents ask to be buried next to their kids even in modern times. I really doubt a father looked at the corpse of his child and said “oh goodie, they will protect me now”
Laura parents can have fondness for their stillborn children. That’s why so many grieve the loss of stillborn and miscarriages
If his daughters are thought to protect him while they’re in the tomb and they’ve all been taken outside of the tomb, then what happens to them in the afterlife? I understand scientific discovery and archaeological research is important, but it’s kinda messed up to know what these traditions are meant for and still have no regard for them. Let the dead rest.
Indeed! It's heartbreaking
But don't we all know that it isn't actually true I mean his daughters protecting him in the afterlife.. there's no such thing as that.
It's not messed up. They're literally dead. They no longer exist.
Same thoughts.... 🤔
Like where's the respect ?
@@sandragamal8727 Its not up to me to say who's religious views are correct. I am, however, allowed to decide that its more important to respect whatever those beliefs were than to desecrate their burial site for relatively unnecessary knowledge. Its cool to know King Tut was buried with his daughters. Its not cool to know we plundered his tomb and tore apart their bodies to find this out. I wouldn't want my grave site treated like that. I think theirs should matter like that, too.
"Don't worry about your little sister, she's going to a better place"
better place: archive of a european museum
The mummies are still in Egypt.
You mean museum in egypt?
@Busy Bodies! but these mummies are in egypt
This is actually so heartwarming to think his daughters are really up there with him, protecting him and vice versa. It’s lovely, Egyptian history is so fascinating.
Emily Myatt I don’t mean to ruin you view, but king tut was pretty young himself when he had them, so I don’t know how the dynamic would be like. He was a teenager. Plus, his wife was also his sister. And Egyptians were pretty cold blooded.
@@juliusroman8616 What makes you say they were cold-blooded? They were human, just like us.
@Ken Justine Rapista Virtually every culture before modernity had slavery in some shape or form. It's obviously wrong, but that's what humans are like.
@Ken Justine Rapista
Doesn't European countries,American countries and Asian countries had slavery in ancient time, especially Rome.
I'm actually very scared of Egyptian history and I am half Egyptian half American (I live in Egypt so I take these stuff at school and I get scared every time we take history class)
These were King Tut's daughters by his 1/2 - sister wife. THAT'S WHY THEY NEVER SURVIVED!
Probably likely the fact that he him self was the product of generational inbreeding. While chances of defects do increase even double it's only going from like 1 to 2 % or 3 to 6% so them being siblings alone wouldn't have necessarily been the reason for the stillbirths. But yes dont try to have kids with your siblings. Gross.
Yup! and his sister was about half his age (if I remember correctly, or at least significantly younger than him) so she would've likely been between 9 and 12 when she got pregnant. Really sad, honestly.
First generation inbreeding only increases the chance of problems or defects by about 0.5% (not making a case for it, just saying). What doomed them was the generstions of inbreeding before him and half-sister/wife..
It wouldn't have mattered, except that he was a product of inbreeding as well. It's successive generations of inbreeding that is a problem. Not just one couple.
LaBelleDame DuManor oh lord 😭
imagine chilling in the afterlife w. your father , for your spirit to be taken away and put in a museum.
When you die, your spirit leaves your body. You are no longer connected to your body in the afterlife. You leave this earth. This mortal plane is no longer attainable through death. Someone moving your body would have no effect on you in the afterlife. Because you are no longer tied to this earth or your body.
Or now you're in another body i.e. reincarnation. There are many theories related to after death, your choice in what you want to believe but there that is only dead body...nothing inside
He probably just loved his daughters and wanted them to be with him if his wife died before him he probably would have buried her there too so that they could all be together as a family 💔
I think so too! It's so sad that he never got to have a living child.
"These mummies were little girls"
Me : What the f-
"They were still born"
*oh ok*
if they werent born they wouldnt literaly be a thing
Still born is a medical thing meaning they were born dead or something look it up
I’m confused what your saying
@@dolly8714 stillborn Is where the baby dies before they are born
Ok but they say one of them was four months old... so she wasn’t born dead. They just died and then they mummified them
It's sweet, in a morbid sort of way. The fact that they valued female offspring is also awe inspiring.
They weren't valued, forced to marry their brothers cousins uncles etc and suffered difficult pregnancies miscarriages
@@amor797 oh shut up they were. Marriage wasn't forced. It was their tradition to keep their bloodline pure. It works for both genders. Female were actually treated as equivalent to males at that time. They had lots of rights and they were pharaohs too. For example Cleopatra. We all know her power🙂. She's basically the most famous pharaohs. More than the male ones
@@amor797 Do your research before spreading false facts! ONLY the royal family did so to keep their bloodline "pure" while the normal citizens did not. And yes, women were treated as equals. They were allowed to keep their own property, run businesses together with their spouses (women would also run the business on their own after their husbands died!) and were also allowed to divorce their husbands without losing their reputation in society. And if you really want to throw shade on the Egyptians, then please keep in mind that the "modern" royals kept inbreeding as well. That's why most royals nowadays are still related with each other! And this did not only happen with European royalty.
@@efficient_plutono they weren't. Woman have been seen as less valuable. Otherwise why is there no burial chamber includin a kings son? Someone needs to rule the kingdome. If woman would been valued, then they would have been raised up as the next emperor of Egypt. They are his offspring. 😂 So keep your BS and keep walking dude.
"Tutankhamun took 5,000 objects to the afterlife. The more he took, the more chance he had of defeating the demons"
AND demons took those 5,000 objects after digging the grave.
Is it just me who thinks it’s adorable and not just cultural that he wanted his baby girls with him? Yeah he was buried with 5000 possessions but he also made sure to have his lil girls he didn’t get to raise 😢
why do I always feel its really disrespectful to dig up a random person's grave and do research on their body?
Impossible to say you should look into that. But keep in mind that this is how we learn about people and cultures who were here before us. That is a dead body, not a person anymore. Nobody is harmed . they have no living close relatives. So if we want to learn to study to maybe implement things from a civilization from before us, this is a natural part of that.
@@mortyjansen399 yea i understand, but i still kinda feel bad but i still fully understand why and im really not against it
@@mortyjansen399 Very wise sir. I believe that we won't be doing this if there was modern technology back then. The way they live their life is not properly recorded that's why opening their grave is important. Put all those guilt aside because someone got to do it in order to understand them. I truly don't understand people saying, "Let them rest in peace", "Poor them" because with this mindset, we won't be able to discover a new history. Truthfully, if one day I die and people need to dig my grave to become part of history, I will be very grateful. I guess people does think differently. Glad that someone had same thought as me. Bless you.
The dude wanted to help his kids through the underworld
What kind of language is this? Have you no shame?
Queen Cleo bruh. What?
🤣🤣Nice
@@madison5222AHAHAHA
Tutankhamen was buried with them because they were his children and he loved them. He wanted to be with his daughters in the Afterlife, the only place he could meet them and raise them. It’s obvious that he grieved for them and loved them, even though he never met them. What’s so difficult to figure out about a grieving father wanting to be buried alongside his children?

@@user-fr1sf2gt9d it’s very important to learn and understand history, we couldn’t just leave them there, but I agree, these historians need to do something to make up for what they did to King Tut and his daughters
@@cluelessandcurious5277 yes but history for this? Is it THAT important to ruin someone resting in peace. It wouldn’t be nice for me to do the same with recent bodies, than this happening.
@@user-fr1sf2gt9d we don’t understand ancient Egypt enough as it is, we have to analyze and dissect everything we find, even if we have to be disrespectful in the process. Raiding King Tut and the two little girls’ tomb might sound unnecessary, but we have had so many breakthroughs about ancient Egypt because we raided that specific tomb.
@@cluelessandcurious5277 we don’t HAVE to understand ancient Egyptian we aren’t gonna die if we don’t, tbh if someone did that to me I’d be so upset
He was a father who clearly loved his children enough to be buried with them. There is no need to overanalyze this. He too was human like us.
Why are people saying that these archeologists, who dedicate their entire life to studying the rituals and lives of Egyptians, are wrong? Don’t apply your modern understanding of the world to Ancient Egyptians. As they said he could’ve easily given them their own individual tombs, which would’ve shown how much he cared for them.
So why did y’all take that mans kids 🤦🏾♀️
What if he just wanted to enter the afterlife with the children he never got to raise?
They are his daughters. Parents love their children. Maybe he just wanted them with him
Science is crossing limits...respect these mummies!!
They should be left alone since they were wanted to be buried together omg it’s sad 😭🤦♀️🤦♀️

It was more than that they were buried with their father so that even though he couldn't enjoy his daughters in this life he could enjoy them in the afterlife
As an ancient amateur Egyptologist I've never heard this story before... Why now?
tony marti : Possible Mandela Effect?
@@ebayerr The Mandela effect is people thinking something happened that never did. How is that relevant here? The OP has no memories of hearing this before, not false memories.
Steve Sheppard : The ME is people(millions of people)who live thousands of miles apart and have no connection to each other who have the exact same memory of something that used to be one way but has now changed.
That's how my comment is relevant to the post.
Clearly as "an ancient amateur Egyptologist",he would have more than a casual knowledge of Tutankhamun.And something as profound as two ofTutankhamun's daughters being mummified and buried with him would've been common knowledge before now,if in fact that is a reality that has always existed.
@@ebayerr This is the problem with conspiracies. They get out of hand really quickly.
Steve Sheppard: How can the ME be a "conspiracy" when the participants have never met and are only sharing information of things that they've clearly lived.
I don't see this as something that has "gotten out of hand".
I see it as large numbers of individuals that have had personal experiences that are realizing they are not alone and have come together and sharing that experience and then becoming a "community".
Or, u know, he just loved his children.
I think we're sometimes forgetting that these ''historical figure'' were humans just like us.
"Women and girls were often cast as protectors." Dang I wish that was still happening today.
I agree, but for the most part men usually are that. I'm not saying women aren't capable, but more men usually are like that. In those times women were seen to be a lot stronger
For a moment I thought he yeeted some random kids.
Even though I believe in none of this he probably buried his daughters because he never got to meet them and wanted to in the “afterlife”
At least during pharoah time, the women are treated with respect and is part of their 'protector' unlike modern day middle east
Sure victoria, u from the middle east?
@@mxzxalm Nope, but I can see it from the media. The culture is very bias, why women aren't treated equal? Women needed escort to go to to anywhere. Why is that so?

But the daughters while protecting their father to afterlife would also get entry to the afterlife it's a win win
Imagine salting the baby for 40 days then seeing the poor thing thin and bony and wrapping it a hundred times
😿
Or maybe it was because it was a father's dying wish to be buried with his children so he could hold them once more and pass together in the afterlife..😕👨👧👧
I LOVE Ancient Egyptian history
Can you clarify something for me? Firstly, how did they know that they would need the babies for Tut's death? Was it commonplace to mummify stillborns instead of burying them? Or do you think that Tut's health was already fragile? From everything I've read, Tut's tomb was put together pretty quickly (as if his death was unexpected?) & some stuff was borrowed from other people's tombs. This leads me to my 2nd question - where do you think his daughters were housed before putting them in Tut's tomb? At the most, only one baby could have coincidentally been stillborn at the same time as Tut's death - so they were somewhere else before his tomb. If they were in someone else's tomb, whose tomb? Did that person not die, therefore did not need the mummies? Or had that person already been dead (& had already taken the boat journey), so the mummies had already helped that person & were free to help Tut?
Good question.
I could listen to Salima talk for hours on end. She was great in the new doc on Netflix.
Digging up these ancient tombs, cities, etc teach us a lot about ourselves and our histories, and as the saying goes, "Those who forget their history, are doomed to repeat it".
bruh the fact that they keep discovering new things about him is amazing
Honestly they need to put them back, this is a family’s grave that they’re tearing apart. Those girls and their father deserve to rest in peace together
I've always felt that they should be put back into the little coffins that they were found in and placed in his arms in his tomb. But they just keep them in a drawer in a museum.
Also they found Ankhesenamun in kv21, she should be with him too.
That was so incredibly interesting! I never knew he had two mummified daughters in his tomb. Wow!
I thought it was somewhat common for close members of the same royal family to be entombed together? Tut was also very young when he died so I believe these were the only children he ever had. Even though the idea of them being there for protection is interesting I find it more likely he simply wanted to be buried with his children that he loved: his only children. It could have even been a combination of motives: his love for his daughters and also the belief that their souls could help guide him.
I first went to Egypt in the early 70's.Tut was still buried there I believe,or he may have been in the mummy room at Cairo Museum.Both babies were buried with him in this tomb.He had Morphans disease,which his father and mother also had.A lot of inter breeding.I think Tut married hus own sister to.I know their all buried together again.Thanjs to Dr Hawass and his dedicated team.Its even thought that theres a secret room behind Tuts walls that Nefertti his mother may be buried in🌷
I thought his mother was Ty, Akhenaten's first wife and that Nefertiti was his stepmother. That's what is stated in the History books that I've read anyway.
Tut was 18 when he died and didnt rule for vert long, he wasnt very relevant compared to the other Pharoah's, and his tomb was hidden. Imagine the treasures found in king Ramases II, who ruled for 30 years during Moses' coming and had a HUGE tomb with several statues. Unfortunately, all of the great tombs were pillaged before discovery. The only thing that makes king Tut special is that his tomb was untouched and allowed a sneak peak into the Ancient Egyptian world.
This is good information, thanks.
Actually, he took nothing with him except for his deeds.
This is why I like Egyptian histories it has alot of mysteries 😌
literally , his parents where brother and sister so he was deformed , he had scoliosis and various other stuff. Which lead to his children having various disabilities. Two of his children that had died very young was mummified and put into their fathers tomb.
TH-cam : "Mummified Babies found in Tutankhamun's tomb "
*cliked the video"
I was like "WHAAAAAAT?"
Love to know all about Egyptian culture 😍😍
Egyptology / Is soo interesting❕ I find their culture 2 b fascinating. I never get tierd of it. Show me more. 📶
I was hoping they were going to say he wanted to be sure his daughters made it to the afterlife. That he intended to carry them there himself.
Can we please remember that although he was a parent it is very unlikely that he would’ve mourned them so much as to have them buried with him for no reason. Anything that got put into the tombs was for a certain reason and that was according to their beliefs to get them to the afterlife.
Both sad and beautiful at the same time.
Thank you
I don't know if I'm weird or what, but I feel really bad for tutankhamen and his family even though they've been dead for thousands of years. He died so young, and his daughters never had a chance at life, his wife must have felt great grief
I love the egption culture because the amt of freedom and respect with responsibility. Woman had . They were considered warriors , protectors of the Pharoahs .
Wow!! I’d never heard of tut’s mummified children!
it seems to me that the care the bodies were given is a showing of love.
Aww they are soo cute
Is it just me who gets really sceptical when scientists tell us who mummy’s were and what happened back then. Like how you know for sure tho??👀
The Egyptians left a looooooot of written accounts of everything they thought and did. That kinda helps.
The real question is... why not?
wow this is interesting and crazy to think about
As a spiritual person, this clip makes me quite sad. Love for your own is innate, I feel he just wanted to be with his babies in the afterlife. My grandma was buried with her mother, and my grandfather next to my grandma. Hopefully so they will be together in somewhere beyond this. I hope too when the day comes that I pass, I will be put in my parents grave, or my parents will be put in my grave. It is just a matter of love. Imagine how sad, to have two almost full term children a part of you, to be gone so soon. I am not a person who even sees myself marrying or having children, but the feeling is natural as it is to every human being. It's hard to think of leaving a little tiny being in a grave alone.

What if King Tut's children was there, because it's one of his great treasure?
This makes me think that in the future (1000 years or so) people find and dig up our graves and we all might just end up in a museum.
Tutankhamun was raised by The Heritic, who viewed family very, very differently from all other Egyptians of his day & not as chattel. Because of that upbringing, which can be clearly on the carving showing Ankhenaten w/Nefertiti & surviving daughters, maybe Tutankhamun also viewed his loved ones more kindly and kept the miscarriage bodies so that on his death, his physical burial would protect their physical remains & he could lead them on what you all in the grave robbing industry call that "extremely perilous journey to the afterlife"?
Title is dumb. Answer: because they were there. Should be something like "Why were babies mummified and placed in a tomb?"
TheGinnnnnnger ...
Can we just talk about he was married when he was 8 to his half sister? So he was between 8-18 when his kids were concieved
Why the ancient Egyptians kept wrapping the bodies of their dead ones? Whether they knew that they will be explored & analyzed one day. Amazing
They believed that the physical body after death will be important in the next life so they try to preserve the likeness of the person the best they can. Originally they burried their dead straight into the sand and the bodies would naturally be mummified by the heat, but when they started burrying bodies in coffins, it lead to decay, so they perfected mumification techniques in order to continue their tradition of keeping the physical vessel of the dead in good condition. I believe somewhere they mentioned the souls of the dead even coming back to claim their original vessels, or maybe the condition of their form on earth effects their form in the realm of the dead.
Very interesting 🧐
As someone who lost their daughter to a miscarriage, this is difficult to watch.
An idea for gaming companies: make a game where you play as a Pharaon in the afterlife, fighting demons to save the sun and the earth, with spells and magic objects.
What if he was to take them threw the stages of the after life with him because they where to young to do it by themselve, so they could be reborn again also.

So cool amazing
Am always curious if what they believed is real. What happens when we remove everything out to study it and place it in museums around the world?
It is the most mind baffling "if" in the history of mankind. Consciousness, Death and Afterlife are the most researched and questioned subjects of our history. It really doesn't matter which "version" comes out to be the real one at the end (Or after end!) But! What really matters is, if there really is something (No matter what) after death, it is going to be an adventure worth all of our excitement!
Curious about peoples beliefs? Well, we still in 2019 have flat earthers. People everywhere have some very strange (to me) beliefs.
@@jayneneewing2369 An really odd and curious believe is The flying spaghetti monster religion. Each there own I guess.
@@jayneneewing2369 While I agree, there's a difference between "strange" beliefs, like aliens and ghosts, and "ignorant" beliefs, like the Earth being flat. There's no way to prove one way or the other that aliens and ghosts either, but there is 100% rock-solid evidence the Earth is not flat. Believing that it is in the face of that evidence is not strange. It's ignorant. So, that would be my only quibble with your point, as otherwise I agree.
feverspell - You nailed it. My main complaints about our world today are: Ignorance & Greed.
Bcz akhensanamun the wife of tut gave birth to dead baby two times. Tho they(two babies) were royal blood so they too were mummified.
I learnt about that in school the other day I cant wait to tell my teacher
I’d like to know did these girls die at the same time as Tutankhamen their father to have been put in his sarcophagus did they reopen it to put them in or were they in another sarcophagus in the tomb then placed with him when he died ?
He had slaves volunteer to be buried with him. It was a sign of respect and loyalty
There weren't any slaves buried in the tomb. Just the Pharaoh and his two stillborn daughters.
R.I.P little angels 👼👼🧸🧸
Only by giving pure soul the door of death will open....
Poor babies I hope there in a better place now
Remember the first born sons died when Pharaoh would not let the slaves go..
That was under Ramses' reign I think
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 That never happened.
That's a Hebrew myth, there's no evidence of that actually happening.
Personally, I believe he wanted to bring them into the afterlife with him. I know that's what I would want to do, especially if my children never got the chance to live. Very sweet actually. Shows he was a loving man and father.
Oh those poor sweet babies
I don’t know why people are digging up the tombs. They basically disrespect the purpose of a burial by digging up the corpse and displaying for the world to see. Like in 5000 years later, I don’t want my dead body being displayed for the world to see.
Etherna Tang cremation is the only way to go then
