- Egyptian Journeys with Dan Cruickshank is a BBC Television documentary series in which Dan Cruickshank explores the mysteries of Ancient Egypt.
Episode one: The Secrets of the Tomb Builders.
Cruickshank finds out about the mysterious people who built the spectacular underground tombs of the Pharaohs.
Cruickshank flies over the Valley of the Kings where the pharaohs hid their tombs over 3,500 years ago. Over 60 tombs are dug into the walls of the valley where the bodies and riches inside could be guarded from tomb robbers. Descending into the massive KV5, built by Rameses II for his sons, Cruickshank is able to admire the precise engineering skills of its builders. In the Tomb of Horemheb, sealed before it could be completed, he admires the unfinished work of the tomb artists. At Deir el-Medina he sees where the generations of builder, painters, sculptors and engineers who built the tombs lived with their families kept separate from the rest of the world.
From the wealth of archaeological evidence (scraps of cloth, fragments of wood, traces of paint) archaeologist have built up a detailed picture of the tomb builders' lives. Cruickshank ponders the life of an ancient family of tomb builders at the house of Senagem. The builders were highly literate and thousands of examples of their writing on limestone and pottery have been uncovered giving detailed and intimate insights into ancient Egyptian life. From these ostraca we can see that they were not slaves but well cared for state employees who held some of the most important secrets of the state but court documents reveal these were also the tomb robbers.
Cruickshank explains how this journey has changed his view of the valley from a place of death, afterlife, ritual and religion into a place of ordinary people and their daily lives. This insight into life in this land thousands of years ago is history from the bottom up a long way from the propaganda left behind by the pharaohs.
Dan Cruickshank is my favourite TV presenter. He is a very rare commentator in today's media as he is not full of annoying hyperboles which is so endemic in today's broadcasting; he doesn't overwhelm the viewer, doesn't force the point, rather just lets everything speak for itself and I really appreciate Dan for his laid-back but effective, unobtrusive manner - thank you so much for a Wonderful series.
Anyone else find his voice super relaxing?
Yes, that would be ASMR. :)
No, his voice is not relaxing the sound is RELAXING! DAAAA!

Yep, he's another Bob Ross.

wow
Good scholar
Is that's Buckminster Fuller on the newspaper doing the 👌 cymbal? @7:43
Dan is a great british scholar.
favorite part of this documentary is the Lord of the Rings score.
has anyone seen the footage where mad lovable Dan makes love to the Brhno chair?
Yeah I have its on the BBC programme 'Around the world in 80 treasures' its the one where he visits the Bauhaus in Berlin.
If that chair was a woman shed be in ectasy
Where can I find Dan Cruickshank's 'Lost Treasures of Kabul'?
Dónde puedo ver la serie completa ?
O documentales?
Lo siento, no sé 😕. Creo que la serie no está disponible en ningún lugar excepto en el Reino Unido. Donde esté disponible probablemente en Dvd o algo más.
@ 11:00
To all who comment on here about how they dislike Dan, I ask you why the hell are you here watching it, if you do not like his presenting style? I rather enjoy it, and have always done. So if you don't enjoy Dan's style, then leave. You are not forced to watch his work.
He was present when they built the pyramids. Mummies mummies everywhere. Some over here and some over there. Is it real or all just fake. Can i have some Birthday cake? Toot and come in.
My guess is that the built in "couch" on the roof is a bed for the younger children to share. The firstborn would have slept in the house on a bed of their very own...as they were more important.
Does someone know the date of this documentary?
2005
These were all filmed and broadcast in 2005.
I am also a big fan of DC and I would very much like to know where you got this copy? PM me please.
downloaded via torrent.
IDK why but after 2000, Western Documentaries stopped referring to the tomb-makers city by it's ancient Egyptian name of Set Maat, and instead started referring to the entire village by the Abrahamocized name 'Deir el-Medina.' Deir el-medina only refers to Hathor's temple, the patron god of the village, which was converted into a Church and later a mosque and later nothing. The village's name is Set Maat, not whatever the followers of the old book of jewish fairy tales have decided to call it.
thank you!
I find the amount of commercials make the video not worth watching.
Why did he ride a little do key to Dier El Medina?? there's a main road running alonside it!!!
Maybe the donkey was cute.....
oooo, nassteeee!
he says "bronze tools" im 99.99% sure it was high grade copper with extra arsenic to make it stronger no way would bronze work its been tried tested and failed terribly! just a foot note but great show thank you
I'm an egyptologist and archaeologist and just wanted to say: You're 100% right - they used _COPPER_ tools. Now, it's been argued that copper would be too soft, but the first thing one needs to remember is, as always, that we're not dealing with some kind of a guessing game - the texts and the physical findings we have tell it all: chisels were made out of _COPPER_.
At 6:41 though, he says "copper and bronze tools", so he do mentions copper, but he's wrong about bronze. Bronze as a material were imported and used during the New Kingdom, but not for tool-making, In large part, I'd say, because of the uncertainty of the amount of tin (bronze being an alloy of copper and tin) which could vary between 2-6 to 12 percent. Not until the 1st millennia BCE, bronze-tools started to gradually take over. While Valley of the Kings were used from 1492 BCE (Thutmose I) to 1069 BCE (Ramesses XI) (i.e. dyn. 18 - dyn. 20).
@@deviantoutcast Thank you so much its great when someone like yourself takes the time to give a brilliant explanation and i fully understand what you have said and makes total sense thank you so much :) I have read somewhere or seen in a documentary that the Copper they mined or got had higher levels of Arsenic which made it stronger copper?
The camera is more on Dan than on the stuff he is talking about which I find very annoying.
especially cuz he's an ugly old fart instead of hot young stud or shapely Aphrodite like Bettany...
At 16:50 onwards it's almost like he's hallucinating.
He is no John Romer but not bad.
Sorry, but I think it's so inadequate... it's just a English presenter with few knowledge of the Egypt History playing with wanton tombs. He's cute but now we know too much more about what he's talking.
the afterlife is the key to build the pyramids ,how else they paid 10000 workers ▲▵▴ ☀☾☄ ₪itibira₪ ✶☥ ⊀ ⋉
360P? Horrible
why was it horrible
common horrible
it was greater
THAN YOU
Cruikshank is a creep.
gda295 ? No. you are.
Un grand creepo.
Why ?
the quality of these episodes is absolutely horrible! I don't know what these other people are watching that is causing their positive comments unless quality has never been a part of their lives! Fortunately there are a great many documentaries about Ancient Egypt on TH-cam that ARE good, so we're cool.
you didnt state why you have a problem with these episodes
These pyramid where never build by Egyptian. They tried copying the giants which are the falling angel who called themselves annunaki. All this money spent to find the magic secrets. Yes the tablet where found, and used for evil.
ya you're a real gullible idiot that's for sure
