What was the most interesting fact you learned about the pyramids of ancient Egypt from this video?
that it was much bigger than i thougt !
@@TheChattounet watch this I'm posted video link...
That is real history with proof 👍
Please provide some videos bon Harappan civilization also
That y’all are lying to people. The bigger pyramids are not newer then this 6 tier.
1) Huge Architectures during those early days.
2) Air passage
The fact that we only get 3 minute videos about such fascinating things Is heart breaking.
Exactly!! I want more!
There are an hour long videos too. Watch those
theres a 50 min vid abt the Pyramids
@Nishant sharma yeah the Indian monuments n structures r rlly big but the pyrimids r litteraly 1000s of years old they have alot of secrets n history behind them
There’s 100s of videos that are long you can watch...
I need longer videos...this was too short
This is just an excerpt from a whole show, Lost Treasures of Egypt
Exactly!
Subscription to astro u can watch full
@@Pieishman I have the same name as you
Anything in relation to ancient Egypt is so interesting.
They're even more fascinating when you see them in reality.
@@saidyaserdvm4598 Indeed! Had the chance to visit Egypt twice.
Ikr
@@saidyaserdvm4598 0
too bad all this is BS and they ignore obvious facts about the pyramids and the civilization that built them.. and it was certainly not these egyptians
This reminded me of my childhood and how I used to write every fact I could possibly get outta my history book about ancient Egypt, hoping that one day I’ll be a great Egyptologist and will discover amazing things. My mum told me that there’s nothing to discover out there anymore. I was devastated and had a mental breakdown. Well, 13 years later.... I’m an accountant.
Sorry to hear about the breakdown!
There is always something to add and discover!
Do not worry about what was discovered from the ancient monuments in Egypt. Nothing comes from what is in the ground. Every month, new discoveries are made, and all the houses next to the pyramids contain many traces.
The pyramids have always been something of interest for me because of the mystery that surrounds them
What mystery.?
@@Chris-hp9be how they were built
They are so fascinating! Thanks for watching.
@@jameskirby8756 You guys both have zero critical thinking skills. How were they built with stones weighing 2.5 tons each with the “technology” that they had back in their days? Sound ignorant if you want but it is a crazy fact.
@@jaydee9355 zero critical thinking skills? Let me guess, aliens did it.
I want to see these pyramid in person. Hopefully someday. I'm always fascinated about Pyramid, Egyptians, Pharaohs...
Cairo keeps growing closer and closer. You can sit in a KFC and look at them
You will go
i left the USA 23 years ago and have lived the rest of my life here in Africa-this place is amazing.
Let's go altogether before the world burns.
i was in cairo last summer to see the pyramids. i was fortunate enough due to my parents to visit a lot of places all around the world and i have to say seeing the pyramids was by far my greatest visit. reading about them and seeing videos is one thing but standing infront of them in person is truly a humbling experience. i educated myself a lot about their origin before and after cairo but after experiencing their immense and precize architecture not even mentioning the sphinx it only leaves me wondering how people can still be so ignorant and believe egyptians build them with stones and chisel. but everyone has to evaluate that for themselves. I wish you make it there and have a blessed time
It's truly amazing that these structures have stood for thousands of years without collapse. Engineering at its finest.
Not really, they are the most structurally sound shape to build and its not like they are spotless
@@samsmith8982 Well back then it was a big deal, and I imagine it took some trial and effort to get it right.
@@smlchristian3 the perks of slavery xD
@@samsmith8982 Who says the people who made the pyramid were slaves?
@@nossta5242 well a majority of them were but there were also alot of greek engineers
this is why I love Egypt and its history 😍💜💚🧡😘😘😘😘
history is magical
Love it know couldn't stand it in school always had ....how's this getting me a job knowing who what and when built this old stone who cares thing
Having an unquenchable thirst for such history, this vid is like allowing a lost desert survivor to only see cool refreshing water. But I still loved it. Thank you again NG.
It is amazing how the history of the ancient Egyptian civilization is still a mystery, although much is already known, the details of the history of the pyramids are still unknown. It was a very important civilization for our history.
LOVE HISTORY
If you do don't learn from National Geographic
@@devonsinclair6994 Nobody should disregard an entire channel for a few misrepresentations :P
Nat Geo can be "a" source for information.
@@devonsinclair6994 how come?
@@ToBeOrNotToBeThatIsTheQuestion Academia all around the world is just like everything else. There is egos involved and agendas. The truth is nobody knows for sure about things that happened thosuands of years ago. They can have their diplomas as much as they want but its a lot of theories with very little evidence. Also each goverment in their country have a completely different version of events, every country writes their own view of what happened and try to downplay the atrocities they commited. Most of these experts can't even tell the weather from yesterday and they always talking about dinosaurs and explosions in the galaxy billions of years ago, I mean come on...
@@devonsinclair6994 I've never heard of a palaeontologist and an astronomer trying to predict the weather forecast. Have you?
So much knowledge packed into the time it takes to make popcorn 🍿
Those who played AC Origins would definitely have a special feeling watching these videos :D
When I visited the great pyramids of Giza I was astonished with how they managed to achieve and build such a huge structure and dig very deep tombs like this with the technology they had at that time. Many egyptologists think that there is something missing in the history of old kingdom of Egypt. I do recommend everyone to visit it if possible
These structures are still standing there. After all these centuries archeologists, scientists and explorers still have been studying and discovering important facts and curiosities about these astonishing constructions. Their techniques were so advanced for that time that it’s impossible not to get hypnotized by these monuments.
Or maybe it's a case of the techniques were far less complicated. Just these days we humans don't use our brains.
Even going back to Victorian times our building skills, engineering skills were so much better compared to today's efforts.
Amazing!! I only wish the video was longer. Just when the curiosity was building up, the video ended. Please make a long docu on this ever-interesting topic.

@@shambhaviarun2261 oh really 😂😂😂, all the so called theorist or scientists make their own story to make it interesting
@@shambhaviarun2261 religious stories are always mysterious. He tries to link physical realities to mythical stories. You better look his works as discovering practices of ancient Indian.
It was amazing to think about Egypt
I really like this kind of video. Always amazed about the Ancient Egypt's civilization, hoping to see more documentary about the old Egyptian culture and not just about pyramids. Please make more NatGeo, I really like it.
Lol you can come to my history class in school, literally all they talk about is the kings of ancient Egypt and literally like so much other stuff- bts I'm Egyptian ;-;;
thanks ❤❤always ''ve been fascinated by those outstanding structures..
I LOVE PYRAMID AND THIS ANIMATION WERE SO AMAZING THANK YOU
Love watching Egyptian everything
Brilliant. Fascinating. Mysterious. Incredibly beautiful. I just LOVE Egypt. ❤❤❤
We can't learn enough about Egypt. Thank you for your comment Anne!
@@NatGeo Hopefully going there next year ❤❤❤😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I'am from eygpt Thank you ♥️
Beautiful history
💐💐🇮🇳💐💐
Great video! thankyou so much for this.
it was outstanding and extremely inspirational also so informative! This has given me a different perspective of life!!!
Thanks for your efforts and sharing.
This is so thrilling!
Really Nice and Informative!!
الواحد متفشخر بنفسه سيكا🌚💙
History students from Egypt are so lucky because they can definitely go to the cites of egypt civilization as part of their field trip.
Great video! Love the content
I wish u would play more of these I am fascinated with this stuff thank u
These kind of videos are the coolest
I'm deeply moved ! It's amazing ! Engineering structures evoke admiration and a deep sense of unsolved mysteries ...
Helpful information and awesome video ! Faultlessly ideal job ! My deep respect dear The National Geographic for Your unique and noble Mission !
Pyramid blocks were poured in situ using wooden moulds and a semi dry concrete/ stone conglomerate that when compacted would provide varying levels of smoothness depending on the moisture content of the mixture. This also explains the tight joints and the fact that blocks seem to fit together like 3D jigsaw pieces with the deformities from one block fitting neatly into the crevices in the other
Thing about those stones are they aren't a premixed mixed concrete they were either transported from quarry to cite. Thing is how. That's why the magic wand ie ank is still under study. May have harness energy like tesla was thinking who knows
@@pierrejones1036 definitely used for electricity
Beautiful and mysterious!
What a wonderful video ! I learned a lot from it🙃
This video is very interesting because it is an opportunity to reflect upon the ancient Egyptian civilization. So, we can understand how the Egyptians lived (for nearly 3,000 years) in the past. Also, we can think about the pyramids, structures of importance for the pharaohs. Besides, they are the most iconic monuments in Egypt until today.
Very good! Amazing!!
Saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente 💜 👍 el video 📹 amigos 💯 puntos 👏 👏 👍 💜 😀 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
What’s the new era on the horizon 😳😱. Such a cliffhanger.
the fall of egypt
Please make longer videos about ancient egypt
Short video, so much knowledge. Still waiting for more😃
that's really cool and interesting !
Finally a video that's not a flashy discovery channel reality show or a history channel conspiracy theory nutcase, just straight history. And it was only 3 minutes. Such a shame
I remember when I was in 6 grade and my teacher told us to do a project about ancient Egypt..I went straight to your channel...
Great Pyramids.. It's amazing
Awesome indeed !
Great experience ✌️👌❤️❤️
The pyramids are incredibly significant symbols for me representing stability, endurance, and permanence in a fleeting, dreamlike, and temporary world.🙏💙💙
So you're still pushing the same old narrative of these phenomenal structures serving as tombs...
Right? We all know they were not tombs. Just look at the myriad of pyramids all around the globe, none of which are tombs.
Yup Zahi Hawass is a fraud, and we need to defund the Smithsonian institute
Since I was a kid I like the Egyptian culture, because until these days we can’t discover all of their mysteries, like the mummification and the teachings for the initiates. One thing impresses me more: the way they just disappeared. Almost all their knowledge was lost and we try to decode their tracks.
Welcome to Egypt always 💙🇪🇬💙
I've been on your planet for a little over 3000 years and the pyramids were here when I 1st arrived. We find it absolutely astonishing that these tiny little humans built these with no super powers... We too are just amazed and can't figure out how they did it
This video is quite amazing. Imagine, these pyramids are as ancient to the roman empire as us to the roman empire.
I wish i could have been there!😔😔
Thanks🌹❤
Your video is very good, I like it
Pharaoh, pyramids....basically anything related to Egyptian history is a topic of interest..... And history itself is interesting that maybe about any civilization Or anything else......Loved it😎....
Amazing
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

These comments are so stupid xD
Nice documentary
amazing
Yay I'm early this is so interesting I learning new things and I hope your safe at quarantine as always
Bruh you're not even fifth
I'm proud to be Egyptian
Very interesting infos
wow! this is some things 😍😍
Helpful for pyramids exhibition.
One of the most intriguing ancient civilization is EGYPT
I love this I want to visit Egypt
Hi I'm from Egypt
I love when they still try to act like they're explorers out it the middle of the desert. Downtown Cairo is right there. You can see the pyramids from a KFC across the street
You are speaking about the Giza plateau not the Saqarra necropolis
Who are you talking about? The guy in a button down shirt and slacks who isn't acting that way at all?
😭😭😭😭😭
Saqqara is in the middle of the dessert the 3 great pyramids are in giza so not even cairo
What beautiful place
Knowledgeable
I just saw the very interesting 3-hour documentary Great Pyramid K 2019, which proposes the theory that the pyramids were built with concrete. I've watched at least 10 documentaries about the pyramids and to me, the use of concrete to build the pyramids seems to be the best theory so far. The documentary also says that the ancient Egyptians also invented both the metric numerical system and the imperial numerical system, and were copied/adopted by Europeans, which we use today.
No
Amazing... kindly provide such valuables information in Hindi language also.
National Geographic always brings good vids.❤️
Isn't Egypt an amazing country? Perhaps it's true that Egypt came first, then history.
Hello my friend 🙋♂️🤝🙋♂️💐💐Nice vidéo 👍👍👍🇨🇭🇨🇭
Great I have finished a archaeologist degree at Coventry university!
I want to see these pyramids of Giza...
go ahead were not stopping you lol
What if I told you...
..that the methods of building them just got obscured through generation and they couldn't build them no more cause they forgot.
They were not tombs!!
Nice :)
Great!
Well, this kind of ended at a cliffhanger...
you never want a cliffhanger to end
I really want to see them
I just think it's an awesome application 😋
Everything in relation to ancient Egypt is the most attractive theme with me!!!! Love it. Hoping you will have a lots videos about it ❤️
Egypt it's so cool
I thought there was only one group of Pyramid in one specific place but thanks for this, they're indeed dispersley distributed and its fascinating
*interesting*
nice
Pyramids were not tombs, there has never been any sarcophaguses/mummies found in the 3 great pyramids.
Great
The fact that people believe it wasn't Egyptians that built the pyramids blows my mind.
Of course it was the aliens,what else would you think can build this? Some nearby nation with certain level of central authority and people skilled to do this?
@@whafflete6721 Egyptians built it and there are no aliens the Kings body is till there for proof Allah gave him a punishment
Cool
Seeing the pyramid from above you realise it’s not square but rectangular .I’ve studied Egyptology for a number of years and only just noticed it
Epic!
The Egyptians themselves said they were legacy owners of the pyramids. The pyramids were already there.
