When talking about trading routes from place to place it would be nice to see maybe a map or something to see from where to where to heighten the telling of history. I’m loving these videos!
Man made maps is just watt it is man made. Have eu heard of Turtle Island? If eu look at the Shell on Turtles they r Tuu Maps
It’s amazing how incredibly long things stayed at a certain level of advancement and didn’t progress for tens of thousands of years. Look at how much changed in just the 20th century. We went from the wright brothers and then landed on the moon within a hundred years. These people were not much beyond the familiarity of Cesar’s time and even George Washington’s time. Then, all of a sudden the 20th century happens and we explode technologically. It is really amazing when you think about it
I'm always fascinated by this too and I think this explosion of technology is what I think will cause the end of civilization. We are living in the perfect moment now because in the next 50 years some idiot will be able to build a nuclear weapon at home and ruin it for us all.
It’s all thanks to America.
Landed on the moon, but ain’t been back in 50+ years. Yeah ok. Have you seen what they supposedly landed on the moon with. Wake up
Thank the use of “fossil” fuels. Or we’d all still be dirt farmers.

@@rogerjrusaignorance is bliss
the amount of people who would rather believe in fake new age magic and an idiocy of annunaki is alarming.
The amount of people who believe these guys built the pyramids in 20 to 30 years is just as ridiculous. It's possibly the most complex structure humanity has ever built, so I highly doubt it was built in one mans lifetime. Plus, we know for a fact that Pharaohs would often take credit for the work of past rulers or dynasties, so the Khufu story sounds like nonsense.
Judging by the comments here. Alot people been down some crazy rabbit holes in regards to ancient Egypt.
Or you have been properly indoctrinated into the archeology that would stop making millions if the newly found truth got out.

The pyramid was his grave? Really? 🤔
Sphinx was constructed (with a human head) after the Pyramids? Really? 🤔
I don't think so why put all that work to just build a tomb marker and I'm sure they had theft in ancient Egypt so why would they make such temptations if they were trying to keep secret why make it visible to begin with really I dont think that the theory of the pyramids were grave markers it makes little sense and the logic of the theory is non existent complete nonsense
@@LouisWinthorpe3 it's not a myth.

Excellent video.
Khufu, the man who renovated and moved into the pyramid that already existed.
Khufu, whose name means "Mighty One", was born circa 2970 B.C. in Minyat Khufu, a town in upper Egypt, which still exists today as Minya, or El Minya. It means "suckling breast", a place where his mother, Queen Hotep-heres, had gone to birth him from their capital city of Men-Nofer, known in Greek as Memphis, in lower Egypt, about 60 miles south of the Nile Delta. His father was the celebrated King Seneferu, the first king of the 4th Dynasty, who had three pyramids built, one of which received his mummy at his funeral. The first two were experimental. The ruined pyramid of Meidum, which collapsed upon itself while under construction circa 2990 B.C. and then the "Bent Pyramid", which had its diagonal aspect changed halfway through construction, to a lower angle. The "Red Pyramid" was the final one which was his resting place. Manetho, a Greek historian living in Alexandria, Egypt in 300 B.C., gave him the unceremonious name of Cheops. One is left to ponder why Manetho would give Greek names so different from the original Egyptian names. It is obvious he did not speak the language himself and was more comfortable with his Greek language.
The Great Pyramid began construction on the Gizah plateau circa 2950 B.C. and was completed about 20 years later, by a hired native Egyptian workforce of about 100,000 men who considered it an honor to build the pyramid for their king and god. The use of slaves were also employed by the supervisors, who were either lower class, convicted criminals, and foreign nationals who were captured by the Pharaoh in his raids into foreign lands.
Those dates are about 300-400 years off.
@@mnomadvfx Yes, my dating system is offset that much from mainstream dating. Narmer, first king of the First Dynasty, (known as Menes by Manetho), began his reign at about 3300 B.C. and Djoser came along at about 200 years later. Seneferu reigned right at the 3000 B.C. mark. Everyone including myself, uses approximate dates until we can lock in dates which coincide with other known historical dates. It has to do with the length of the kings' reigns and their dynasties, and sometimes we have discovered the length of their lives.
Good documentary about Pharaoh Khufu. I have studied Egyptology since the mid-1960s and both read and write ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and hieratic writing, Coptic, and other ancient languages. Most of your information is accurate, and I appreciate that. Most people mispronounce ancient Egyptian language because they are not familiar with it. My dating system is off by about 300 to 400 years earlier during the early and Old Kingdom eras whereas by the time of the 18th Dynasty, my dating agrees with most others. I was surprised that this documentary does not show Khufu's name in Egyptian hieroglyphs. There is one shot which shows part of it but not the full cartouche.
I highly recommend the classic Hollywood movie LAND OF THE PHARAOHS (WB, 1955) for its star, British actor Jack Hawkins, for his excellent portrayal of Khufu, and the production design and costumes which are mostly authentic to the Old Kingdom period. However, the story, and the conclusion and method of Great Pyramid construction shown in the movie, is greatly erroneous in being more of a filmed melodrama rather than an accurate historical epic.
What is a good source to find deciphering of writing on walls, objects, etc....?
@@francischambless5919 There are two schools of thought on this. I favor the old Budge phonetic system, based on Champollion, Rosetta Stone, Thomas Smith, and the Coptic Christian language (which is actually the ancient spoken language of ancient Egypt,. with replacement Greek-based alphabet, replacing the ancient hieroglyphics and hieratic text characters). Budge's system was dismissed by Sir Alan Gardiner in the 1950s in favor of his non-phonetic system which does not follow the Coptic, but is more of a secret code for his disciples, which many follow today.
WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS

@@TheDejael Thank you.
The man who took credit for the great pyramid
Excellent.... The Egyptians didn't build them ... They found them
@@rossrossallan4339 Egyptians did build them, just not the one who took credit for it…and it’s not like it’s an uncommon practice by the Pharos of dynastic Egypt…many king’s literally erased the history of their predecessors and scribed over previous records…ancient tagging in a few obscure parts of the structure hardly establishes anything in my opinion…especially since other structures clearly show kings carving their story over others…also carbon dating of the structures puts the date back a couple of hundred years (not thousands, not going down that road) which doesn’t line up with the established timeline of the Pharos … Egyptians did build the pyramid. I just don’t think it was Khufu.
@@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 you don't know what you're talking about
@@TheHighest-x6k please be specific on where I’m factually incorrect. Did kings of Egypt not erase previous king’s legacies? Did the carbon dating from the Edward Casey project not show the dating a couple hundred years off? I’m proposing a theory …you are clearly just projecting 😏
@@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 you can't car in date rocks so the carbon dating you're talking about came from maybe an organic piece of maybe wood or something that was found near or in the pyramids which isn't really telling us much. Science will not touch the pyramids because it would blow several of not most of their theories in the water. This style of construction is not from our current human civilization but that of previous ones and I have pretty concrete evidence to show this
(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Were eu there living in this time to knoe this? Did eu actually Sea this man build this pyramid? r have eu just read another man's book?
One of THE BEST videos of this wonderful work uou do, so far. Completely in live with the narration, the continuity and the details shown…
Another great video. Thank you so much 😊
2:40 Inaccurate. Pyramids are not built as a resting place for pharaohs. Some new findings suggest that pyramids are built even before the time of pharaohs.
Egyptian pyramids are tombs of the Old Kingdom pharoahs. Evidence would be the finding of Pharoah Djosers mummified foot in the step pyramid. Along with all the pyramids having a sarcophagus. The ancient Egyptians stopped using pyramids primarily due to cost but also the fact all of them were subject to grave robbing.
What an absolutely breathtaking presentation! Thank you! 😊 ❤❤❤
@@TyFactorCGI maybe you aren't as keen on Ancient Egypt as I am!
lol he is completely inaccurate in his presentation.
@@margaretlumley1648 breathtaking? Have u been living under a rock, lie after lie, wake up
I can recommend The Red Sea scrolls by Lehner and Tallet for those interested in learning about the construction of the pyramid. The authors use Tallet's 2013 discovery of the "diary" of Merer to shed light on the construction.
It wasn't the Egyptians that built them ... They found them ... Drawing something that exists doesn't make you the guy who made it
@@rossrossallan4339 Yes, this is true. However, Drawing something that exists does make Merer more likely to be the guy who made it.
@@rossrossallan4339prove it. There is countless amounts of hard evidence that more or less proves Egyptians built them
@@rossrossallan4339
"It wasn't the Egyptians that built them ... They found them"
Literally no physical evidence or tests conducted support that assertion.
Quite the opposite in fact.
Radiocarbon dating of organic material found in the mortar between core masonry of the Great Pyramid supports the academic timeline based on assertions of classical Greek author Herodotus and dated by the various known king lists of Egypt.
Radiocarbon dating of the Merer papyrus only lends further credence to the academic timeline aligning to the pyramid construction.
Further still the existence of the now known extinct Ahramat branch of the Nile that lines up EXACTLY with all the major pyramids of the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
It's age is not yet confirmed, but branches of the Nile opened and closed every few centuries before the Aswan dam was created, maybe a millennia or 2 at most - so it wouldn't have been there for many thousands of years prior to the Old Kingdom.
can u make a video about king narmer ????
He built such an a amazing structure that envious people decided to rob him of it by saying that he didn’t build it
Well, did he though? There are 2.3 million blocks in the Great pyramid and it took between 20-27 years to build. Math: 2300000 ÷ 27yrs = 85185 ÷ 365 = 233.38 ÷ 24 = 9.7 so you are saying that they had to work 24/7 for 27 years and lay almost 10 blocks per hour to have it done. Good luck
@@aurelbele3802careful, you’re using sound logic. People get scared by that.
Ra being born in Oceania, took his Sun Boat the space ship to Black Forest Germany looking for his lost children. Let ship autonomously return home.
Where Ra with some lost children then rowed to Egypt thus the name Pharaoh meaning Far Row from his lost white children in the North.
Can someone point me in the direction of a TH-cam video that explains the relationship between ancient Nubia and ancient Egypt. Why do they depict Nubians as prisoners of war and a animation. But then credit Nubia as being their mother civilization? Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction
Don’t be surprise if a muslim claim all the pharaoh is islamic religion .😁😁..but they not claiming the pyramid
I'm more a Roman empire fanatic but this was a great video and it's amazing how far back in ancient history Egypt thrived. Wish more records and other evidence had survived history to give us all better insight to this period of time.
Pyramid built under the rien of Pharaoh Ra, 9,000 years ago. Khufu a forman builder, one of two.
Khufu a forman working on the Pyramid , one of two, Leah, the size of my thumb and now given Africa as her inheritance.
Hey didn't aliens built the pyramids 😅
Egypt had closed borders
That's a conspiracy theory only
Khufu was an alien.
Anything to take credit from Africans.
Just commenting to make this the top comment.
His tomb? Funny since there is no evidence to this or even any written account. The pyraminds are not tombs, what they are is still a mystery, but they were NOT tombs
Just a bunch of kids in the sand box arguing about something they don’t know anything about.
How sad you all are. !!!
To think that this title is based on a graffiti found inside the Pyramid..In fact, there is NO prove who build the Pyramids, Thumbs down
Perfect timing
FFS.. These people lived in a world of sand and stone with a great highway of a river. They were sailors, farmers and masons. Ask sailors to move a stone and all they'll need is some rope, clever knots and muscle.
What? Kufur after the rramesides? And people believe s the rest of it d claims ? That is stupid!!
Useless narrator again with uplift at the end of every phrase . Why narrate like this…or allow it?
No one truly knows who built the pyramids and when…
Why use white pictures knowing well that Kufu was not white. I am not watching this.

the egiptians didnt build the piramides......those are much much older
Everyone knows now that they are over 5000yrs old and they wasn't a tomb
But, what about the aliens 👽 that actually build the pyramids 😮
Kufu was curious about beheading animals, he’s so kufu
Really hard to believe a 20 year old engineered the Pyramid of Khufu Hemiunu
All that says is that he was way more intelligent than either of us.
Also, he didn't have to start from nothing. He had the previous few generations of masons experience to draw on.
Because it’s not true..

@@josteincarlsen2905 what is the truth then?
Khufu - the man who built the pyramids, but still needed primitive stone tools to hunt with and lived in a mud hut????
Stone tools to hunt can mean obsidian arrow points. Which are sharper than surgical blades. My partner bow hunts. Same idea, different composition of how the bows were made. Mud turns to brick when cooked in an oven or by the sun.
No one is "primitave". People only say "primitave", to make feel superior to other communities and civilizations.
There are colonies of great apes that are being observed currently, that are in their own "stone age". They've language, tools, hierarchy, positions of care within their families. (weapons are tools also)
@@Peg__ ok so he could cut 60tonne granite blocks out of a quarry with obsidian? Great you just solved the mystery of the pyramids! Well done! So he builds great monuments made of huge stones but still wants to live in his mud hut? 🤔
@@OzMate79they didn't move massive pyramid stones...they poured them in wood forms like how we pour concrete...an ancient African technology that is still in use on the continent today.
@@problactive285 So they "poured" granite blocks? Shows how little you know.
@chrismason5905 a polymer chemist named Joseph Davidovitis proposed a theory that the Egyptians used wood molds to shape the pyramid stones by pouring a mixture of limestone, sand and geoplymeric binder into the molds. He was correct as Africans have been doing this for eons and still do. If you actually knew something, you'd know the pyramid stones are not solid granite.
What i want to know is what what happening in china at tbe same time
Watching 101 Dalmatians. I’ll be back for this episode tho!
Walker Edward Smith Ronald Martin David
Well, I believe Göbekli Tepe proves that massive structures were being built thousands and thousands of years before the pyramid…… so it is possible that they could be much older. Egyptians could have just came across them and incorporated them. Enhance them if you will.
Martinez Anthony Lewis Daniel Miller Jason
Egyptians inherited them not build them that's for sure, got to laugh at the rise of Islam saying the infidels built them when they could even destroy the smallest pyramid lol

It is known peoples from Africa in their appearance can vary in body builds too and features like those from northeast, northwest, the coastal regions and central and south and mixing of those from different regions and the passage of time hope that helps give a better understanding.

@@tommoyle8330 thoth built them, thoth
I'm not convinced Khufu built any pyramids. He may have tried to use something that had been around thousands of years before him. The archaeological evidence in his time is weak IMHO.
Why is it called Giza?
If you are a credible historian and your assessments are indeed valid why need to rule out Khufus' Pimping of his own daughter? If it was so nothing we can do about it lol.
It is ironic that the historically accepted Pharaoh Khufu who is credited with the purpose of the Great Pyramid as his eternal tomb, we now have no surviving likeness of him today, except for a small ivory statuette less than 6 inches high. His administrators, Hamar, his prime minster or grand vizier, and Mereb, or Merer, and his supervisor Harkhuf, were all three in charge of the project for more than 20 years. Harkhuf was in charge of the Gizah plateau site, while Merer or Mereb was in charge of the work gangs who cut and brought the stones from the quarries, and Hamar reported all this activity to the king on a daily basis.
Khufu's large wooden solar boat was discovered in an enormous stone boat pit next to the pyramid in 1954, all disassembled in pieces, and all the wood was preserved due to the dry desert climate in Egypt. The boat was huge, and was removied piece by piece and carefully reassembled by the mid-1960s anf enshrined in a modern protective structure.
Khufu's Horus name was Khnum-Khuf, showing his devotion to the ram-god Khnum. He had a third name, Medjer, which means 'drummer' and shows that he may have had a favorite pastime playing drums as a boy.
A little mistake at 10:27. Gold is a metal. I realize they were referring to turquoise in which case they should have said "latter" instead of "former." I'm nitpicking though, it's a good documentary.
The Gosford glyphs have been found to be about khufus death by drowning in 2566 BC off east coast of Australia Khufu was female and has a daughter Joshua he was the 2nd Osiris
I just had a great run bearing my record. It was timed perfectly with this great documentary and ended almost exactly as it did. Something about the relaxing and interesting story as well as the mental images of hard working people of the ancients was a great motivator to sweat myself. 10/10 would recommend. I'm probably gonna workout to another one soon haha. Thanks!
