If Dr Hawas wasnt in this i think you wouldve been allowed to dig deeper than he will allow. There are some of the hardest materials in the world at these sites yet have precision down to the size of a human hair. Many many archeologists are against Hawas for his way of working. A discovery will be made, he will insert himself into it and make it disappear until he deems it ok to make it public and then he takes the credit. At one time i admired him so much, then i stood back and watched over the years what he has done to the culture and the true history of egypt. Other than Hawas you did a fantastic job. Though i do wish you were allowed to view/show more than Hawas allowed
Do you know what is REALLY AMAZING? After 13 years of NOT being in charge, you continue to blame Zahi Hawass for EVERYTHING. THAT LEVEL OF STUPIDITY IS TRULY IMPRESSIVE!!! By the way HE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED and charges against him were dropped.😊
Wow! Amazing! When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt, my grandmother's books were all I had and reading about the pharaohs, the gods and the egyptian culture was pure magic to me. I started watching your channel because of the Cleopatra debate and your documentaries have relived that magic; the way you narrate the historical events, the attention to detail, your shots, the experts you collaborate with are all absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
1:00:04 Curtis, this ensuing sequence is the most touching I have seen in a very, very long time. It’s not only breathtakingly beautiful and super- interesting, but you have such a gentle and genuinely nice manner about you…and you are very respectful, so knowledgeable yet unassuming. I congratulate you and I am grateful to you. May the Ancestors bless you with all good things.
@@CurtisRyanWoodsideDear Curtis, I shall not pry by asking what’s wrong. Whatever that is, I feel you can rise above it. I don’t know you but I have seen YOU. You are an intelligent, cultivated, respectful, gentle gentleman 😊 (And, if I may add an observation- observation because I do not pay compliments- your new haircut looks fab ☺️). I send you some loving thoughts 🤗
The moment that Zahi Hawas was shown, cell phone ringing off the hook, I was let down big time. He has hampered so much progress in Egypt and has an ego bigger than the Great Pyramid. I must admit though the footage was incredible. What a spectacular and vast amount of work. Nice perk of letting Zahi control the story. Overall it was great but I definitely took most of it as a work of fiction.
@@AntonSmyth-od6rc I’m not sure I understand your question. I’ll add this as well. Hewass has an massive ego and bias in regard to his work in Egypt. He is a gatekeeper. Hawass has hindered so much research and access, physically and historically important data and information. He is a massive roadblock.
You have slammed it out of the ballpark Curtis! Your shots are unlike the ones that have been out forever. Instead, your photography was most excellent. You have shown your great talent and I am so proud to know that you are out there, sharing your knowledge and fresh and gorgeous photography! Keep going!
As a man who is turning 75yo in 21 days I'd like to say and tell what I observed in the 1970's, and 1975 March was the last time in Egypt. I had a strong feeling that the pyramids were far older by thousands of years opposed to todays explanations by egyptologist. I say this from observation that it was evident to me that at some period in time a great flood happened just by placement pop all the large and smaller stones on the desert floor. Only water would have floated those stones in such a fashion. I've always thought that during the time of The Kings, or Pharaohs that they encased the pyramids with limestone blocks, and that they stood for thousands of years before. It seems more plausible that this could be accomplished in a 20-30 year time frame. Also, by observation I felt The sphinx to be thousands of years old, and that it had a head of a lion that was carved in the likeness of a pharaoh just because of the newer appearance of the head. It fascinates me the around The World noses and faces of statues have been defaced. Perha[ps this outlook of mine would interest you as a young man near the age I was when first visiting Egypt in my early and mid twenties? I believe people should have more open mindedness about age. Very fascinating presentation and Than You I enjoyed watching to the end! Dale
@@mr2wo The evidence has been misconstrued by archeologists wanting their name in history, the evidence was also moved around in the 1950s where they literally moved a whole funerary temple from one site to another in order to 'preserve' a 3000 year old building that survived thousands of years but they still decided to move it, the history you believe is fundamentally distorted by people and their own agendas.
C'est la première fois je trouve documentaire hyper clair special le partie des pyramides et la différence entre les pyramides en Égypte et les pyramides du Soudan et en ce concerne les ennemies sur les murs des temples, les détails du visage de Cleopatra, elle est radieuse et sagesse quanta moi l'histoire d'Égypte c'est l'amitié, la joie, la culture, la danse et la sagesse, mille merci pour vos efforts ❤
One, if not my greatest experience, happened in 1993 when I was in The Great Pyramid by myself and in the dark. There were problems with the lighting and even the guards left the pyramid. Since this was my only opportunity to go inside the pyramid, I climbed up to the Kings Chamber with the lights going on and off. I stood in that chamber in pitch blackness and silence for what felt was about 10 minutes before the lights was restored. It was a magical experience that maybe the ancient gods or the great king permitted me to experience.
Was in The Great Pyramid by myself in late 2013 during the trial of Mohamed Morsi. There was no one on the streets of Cairo and no one in The Great Pyramid with me...magical indeed!!!
Mind freaking blown …. I freaking love this !!!!! No words I can’t even describe how excited happy…. I can’t … I live too learn about ancient Egyptian history and you give it to me… I love it!
The mysteries of Giza...so awe-inspiring, and ending this fantastic film with a rare rainstorm brought the goosebumps and an even lower jaw drop! Wonderful as always, Curtis! xo
Curtis, this was absolutely riveting! You are a master story teller!. Thank you and the good Doctors for presenting the facts, as we now understand them. I have seen too many (shall we say) 'fanciful' mock-umentaries with fancy CGI... You connecting the dots between real artifacts is so much better. And so much more honest. Thank you!
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Absolutely! There is no need for hyperbolic supposition, the mystery and the history speaks for itself , with the correct storyteller.
Thank You for your absorbing documentaries. I like listening to your narration while doing other activities bur always end up stopping and just watching. So I don’t get much done. Lol. Keep up the great work.
Nice job Curtis, only thing that spoiled it for me and a few others was the Ex Egyptologist Halwas , he has been known for telling the world some lies like the chamber below the Sphinx, it has been documented that there has been a chamber found below the sphinx in between the front legs with its access underneath the wooden walkway. Keeps it great job going Curtis, look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Thanks, although Zahi has dedicated his life to this site. There is nothing under the sphinx. The idea of that is pure speculation and his testing results show there nothing but 3 meter deep Roman period holes
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Thank you for setting that idiot straight. I would have called them a moron straight to their face, LOL!, but you did it kindly, which is obviously so much more effective! I know that name calling is childish and stupid, but there's only so much that a person can take sometimes. I just get so angry that so many people are so stupid, believing the lies of Hancock etc. We need every sane person to combat the insanity of the science deniers and egotists like Hancock, who can't be bothered to go to school, so just make stuff up, and steal from 50 year old books by other people. The explosion of gullible people who believe people like Hancock and Trump, the world's 2 worst liars, is so alarming. What's next? Twenty years ago this type of idiocy would have been inconceivable! So please do keep up the excellent work! Oh yeah, Hawass. It's just tragic how mistreated he was. The debacle he went through involved false accusations that were a part of a huge political plot between much larger forces, and the overthrow of a government by an armed coup d'etat. He became a pawn in that. But so many people jumped on it, because before that occurred, he had made a lot of enemies. He was an egotistical and arrogant tyrant at the Dept of Antiquities, and SO many people there wanted to get rid of him, so they were very glad to take part in the purge, even if it was built on lies. I'm glad that now that he has been taken down several notches you still treated him with respect. He has a fantastic amount of knowledge, and he did so much for Egypt! More than any one person ever has! For its image and econmy, and for Egyptology itself. I think that he still wants to contribute, and I'm glad that you are giving him a chance. One of the many reasons I hate Hancock so much is that he used the hype about Hawass to vilify him, and to boost his own image. Hancock is nothing but an opportunist who uses other people's publicity, twists it to suit his own purposes, and magnifies it as much as possible. He is VERY skilled at that, although not a bit skilled in any other way. I hope something happens to shut him up. The harm he did to a man who was already "injured" was just so shameful, and the harm he's done to humanity is just incalculable! Thanks so much for treating Hawass with respect, and showing people who might know that he is still active in archeology in the Cairo region, being in charge of both the Giza plateau and of Sakkara, 2 of the most massive and most critically important sites in all of Egypt (and of course the world!) That alone would be an impossible dream in the lives of 99.99% of archeologists world wide, so although it is a demotion from his previous lofty post, it's still an incredibly important position! Thank you so much for all you do. I've been watching you for years, but my account keeps getting cancelled, so I have to keep resubscribing, but I am a long time fan. ❤❤❤
Zahi has devoted his life to gatekeeping. I suspect him of “protecting” these discoveries so he can profit first and for no other reason. It’s unknowable how much he has sold off.
This video by an individual, Curtis Ryan Woodside, is surprisingly more interesting and engaging than many others produced by well-known media organisations. And I've seen dozens of videos on Egypt over the years. Perhaps it's because Curtis has done this "from his heart" while it's "just a job" for most others. --Shah Alam, Malaysia
The Giza plateau is both popular, the rather underrated in so many ways, as in when there in person, there is more than just the image of the pyramids. Thank you for giving us so much more information.! I’m so grateful to learn so much more! ❤
I like how you highlight otherwise unnoticed things like the docks at the Sphinx, and the camera work - for example some shots look like 3D and also I liked the transition from the ceiling light in the museum to the sun in the desert. What impressed me was the ancient depiction of the Sphinx with the pyramids in the background and that there used to be a statue in front of it! You also put some personal details and thoughts into it and not only cold scientific facts (like the Pharao's mustache). I mean the science is important but those people were like us, breathing and loving and joking, etc.... Very refreshing and nice to watch from start to finish. Thank you, Curtis! Love from Germany.
Well done brother, your passion really comes through in an amazing doco. Thank you for setting the record straight! Your heritage has been stolen, played down for a century the importance of Egypt in creation of the modern civilisation has been played down for way to long 👊🏻
it's even more astonishing to see these ancients monuments to co-exist with the modern world in wide shots! the opening with the pyramids, most especially with the sphinx, is awesome!
Absolutely fantastic, Curtis 🎉. Despite living in Giza for 1.5 years and marrying an Egyptian, you have impressively documented the Giza plateau and it’s wonders and narrated better than anyone. Such attention to detail in your narrative and vivid photography. Please continue, Curtis. We want more ❤❤❤ And congratulations on your number of subscribers. Tells you something!
Believe me - I never tired of seeing the pyramids in the distance, remarking on their majesty while rising above the sun-drenched horizon. Exotic. Majestic
I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and I have to say that this is one of the best, if not THE best documentaries I have seen. Interesting throughout the whole program. Thank you very much. Your love of this subject AND the actual people involved is evident. ❤️🤔☺️
Having a picture of Zahi Hawass in your thumbnail for this video is enough to stop me from watching it. I'm not alone, in that decision. Just something to keep in mind.
@@CurtisRyanWoodside he is an abomination. How dare he call himself a scholar when he's restricted and politicized so much research in Egypt. Can wait for him to meet his maker so we can actually find the truth of Egypt.
you sheep always flood these comment sections with your infantile hate of Hawass. Its getting really boring having uneducated uninformed twits infesting these forums with unfounded accusations. You and your ilk are merely ignorant sheep who just follow the flock without researching the subject matter. Try original thought for once
What a pure delight to watch, well filmed and presented. It saddens me to see such disrespectful graffiti on these historical ruins sign of the times. What a great job you have thanks for sharing this wonder with us.
I've gone through some very serious technical difficulties, among other things. During that time you have completely changed your look, the city you live in but, you still have the Rin Tin Tin dog!!! 🤣☺️🤣 As layman your knowledge is vast and I agree to a point. Pyramids. They become something more overtime. Renewal, Rebirth, Energy. I'm so glad that ya got such a wonderful special guest!!! As always take care and have fun!!! 😎😁😎
Finally someone who does it with pation for that? There is so amazing ancient monuments and we can see only Great Pyramids and similiar documents about it. You did amazing job bro. Keep it up. More like theese pls. Perfect documentary
Curtis I’ve only just found your you tube and boy was it great to see, the whole way you do Egypt history is superb and should be in schools I loved it and will love seeing everything you have to watch ,I wish you luck love and happiness and I love the link you have for Conchita ! Love him too.x I’m falling in love with Egypt at last …….
I finished watching your documentary... a lot of information! Fabulous and exclusive images! I'm delighted! and the SURPRISE the end of the video... don not miss it people! thank you Curtis Ryan Woodside
Mate I am planning a trip to take my granddaughter to Giza, I am fascinated, I very much appreciate your work, it is tantalizing and no doubt going to cost me quite a lot but I just have to see it for myself. You have my deep gratitude and thanks, keep up the good work friend.
We feel so privileged to have had you as our personal guide at Aswan and Lake Nasser, but visiting Giza and the Pyramids without you simply wasn’t the same. This magnificent documentary has changed all of that! Thank you for this beautifully filmed, researched and presented guide to one of the world’s most wonderful and mysterious places. 🏰💖
I loved watching all the videos regarding this personalized tour of Egypt. You can tell everyone was genuinely thirsty to learn of this ancient past. Hats off to all involved, especially Curtis...!!!
There is also an indication that the Sphinx goes back to a time when the area was very tropical and there was great rain fall. That would be post "BIG FREEZE". More than 12k BC.
Fantastic video, so many things I haven't seen before... and so much info regarding Khufu and his family, again that I've never heard before... So interesting...!!
Curtis Ryan Woodside I just finished your video WOW what an amazing documentary. This needs to be shown on the History & or the Discovery Channel. Even in the Schools & Colleges today. They could learn alot from you. I know I have by watching your films.. I really enjoy all your films. You did a fabulous job on everything. Explaining everything an showing us through your eyes.. I loved this video.. Have a Blessed day my friend.. love & hugs always, Gwen Odya
WOW! Excellent, well done and very interesting video. You are a gifted film maker. The addition of the undisputable facts presented by the modern day Lime Green Doctor Zahi Hawass was a stroke of some kind of luck.
Dear Curtis this has got to be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen in my life and I've seen absolutely hundreds. You make it so interesting that you can't take your eyes off it you go into so much depth and detail it's fascinating thank you and I can't wait for the next one ❤️
This is incredibly impressive! Watching this with my mom and we both keep saying how insanely good this is. Hi should be very very very proud of this, Curtis!
I went last year and visited everywhere mentioned except the crooked ones. You can see them from the step pyramid. Next time we’ll go to those. Thanks for the wonderful documentary
You could do a video about Egyptian clothing. What really was elegance and what was carnival gone mad. I love Ancient Egypt, but sometimes I get scared by the storm of horns and wings, not to mention the load of amulets. I think you would do well to dive into ancient aesthetics
So amazing Giza ❤❤❤ video a lot of Knowledge ❤❤ Thank you for sharing video ❤I'm in Vietnam and really like watching your video so much ❤❤ i hope you alway lucky and happiness
amazing documentary…respect for searching deeper than the common knowledge is given, it makes your vision so alive and fascinates the viewer. Seems like your old soul must come from ancient Egypt, as you search for the real truth…..its a gift to watch your documentaries, it opens up such a river of information..thank you for all your intensiv research and your creative way to show it to public
I find your stuff so intriguing. You seem to seek out really unique material, and, you are so refreshing. Also, you are an excellent documentary producer, you have a really good eye. Thank you so much for this, and all power to you! A xx
I would and do watch anything that Dr. H does. I’m glad I found this. What a scholarly man. Thank you for your study and conviction for the Egyptian heritage. ❤
Thank you, Curtis! It´s so fascinating to hear you tell about Egypt, as we learn the truth behind what we see. You present the logical facts with your researches, and these ancient sites let us dream at the same time, because as you point at, everything is not yet known. The Sphinx for exempel, remains mysterious.
Thank you for all those amazing documentaries. One question, though : why does everybody think odd that Djedefre did choose his own hilltop to build his pyramide ? That is what his father, his grand father etc did before him ! What I find most unusual is that Kephren did build on a plateau where there was already a major pyramid. Maybe it was to try and spend a bit less on it (stone available nearby, an access from the Nile easy to accomodate, an elevation allowing him to build a smaller monument that would nontheless look grand... or to stick to his father - a need for legitimacy ? What became of Djedefre's sons... ?) Juste a thought... (sorry for the names in French)
Dear Curtis: Long hair, short hair, shaved head - none defines you so I hope you have left any ambivalence about hair behind you. You are defined by your passion, insight and knowledge on Egypt. Thank you for your expertise, dedication and hard work and sharing with us. When Cleopatra is found in Taposiris Magna; I hope you get to the sight and report on it (Thank you in advance). I noticed the camels in The Secrets of Giza. I hope there is someone protecting their well being and treatment. I look forward to all future documentaries that you will be publishing. Thank you for making the world a more interesting place.
Oh thank you Mary! Well, actually I am in touch with Kathleen, but I’m afraid if she does find anything, that will be a sale to national geographic for sure
@@CurtisRyanWoodside She is another amazing person! There are so many unsung heros of archeology in Egypt! I hope so much for her sake that she does find Cleopatra! I would just love to see her vindicated in her own lifetime! And while she's still young enough to really enjoy it. I'd also just love to see a video by you about her and her ongoing dig. She's made spectacular finds there. All the best to you Curtis! ❤❤❤
Absolutely love this documentary, this is not your traditional garbage told by foreigners, by ppl who dont dare to go againts old theories or by big tv brands. This is made organically, step by step and surprisingly simple if you keep in mind he is covering history of thousands of years. Love not seeing actors, every time he could he would show an actual statue or image from the tombs of the person. I so enjoyed so many details he shares, even the printouts of what no longer exist. I love how he dont hide the controversial information but yet he share them as part of the facts, like the USA altering a Pharaoh's statue to make it look more like im guessing is more acceptable to them? Who knows? I just find it disrespectful in so many levels. Still he shares all this information in a elegant and respectful way. Love the images at the end of Cairo under rain, something foreigner to me since we are so use to seeing Egypt dry and 🌞. I take my hat off and thank you guys for sharing all your knowledge, beautiful! Well done!!
Curtis you are my ‘go to’ Egyptologist. I love all your documentaries. You create a fascinating learning experience with your narrative and presentation. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge ✌🏽
@@CurtisRyanWoodside lots of fresh inspiration indeed. I wrote a song for my band about feeling the strength and majesty of the magnificent Egyptian Queens you have spoken about. I’m sure your influence spreads further than you think. Much love from Yorkshire UK 💚
I always find all of this fascinating and hope that one day, all the questions people have are answered with unequivocal knowledge. There are so many "experts" and story tellers with variations to explain all that we see and hope to see. Observing the found objects and putting all we know together, certainly unfolds the possibility that the who, what, where, when and why's are answered with unwavering truths. However there absolutely has to be so much more that we will never know. So with that said Curtis, you have done a wonderful job answering questions, which certainly satisfies the inquisitive mind.
Indeed, still unanswered questions, but I tried to show as much evidence as possible - but not related to building techniques (which are boring) but about the people and WHY they built at the site
@@CurtisRyanWoodside yeah it's boring because who cares about science and engineering the biggest structure know to man when you can talk about fucking nonsense like egyptian pharaos who didn't built the pyramids? Go humanities!
Curtis you do an amazing job of telling Egyptian history and story’s of these people. It must of been amazing to speak with Dr Hawass … I am in awe of him and you both!
That was flippin' amazing Curtis. Thank you and congratulations on a doc so full of information and beautiful that I will have to watch it several times to absorb it.
The whole story is there. That is there legacy. The instructions of how it was all built is journald for each stone set. Egyption were very intelligent so much so they knew their language would be lost even as their pyramid lived on. So, they put it down for everyone in a universal language. It does frustrate me that know one teaches it properly. You did a really good film with the Information you have. Thank You.
These docs are improving. I wasn’t a fan of his earlier works but this is really good. Credit! For what it’s worth lol just feels like a greater production value
Whoa I haven’t watched your docs in awhile! you look so different and your videos have evolved so much *wow* this documentary quality is absolutely amazing!! your hair is great either way lol but I totally didn’t even recognize you.
Incredibly informative, without aliens, new age nonsense and other ridiculous bogus this wonderful site is plagued with. Beautiful photography and narration. Thank you.
Why so much disdain for the truth? Not about the aliens but about all the real and measurable incongruences in the building and construction of the pyramids and stone artefacts. For example the fact that building technology seems to start very advanced and degrades over time. But You people are so brainwashed You can't even consider it. You're nothing more than religious worshippers
The “alien” hypothesizers are red herrings used to drown out VALID scientific observations that challenge the current THEORY regarding the age of certain structures. Hawass is treating HIS theory as absolute fact….that’s not how science works. If he believes his theory is sound, he should allow his theory to be challenged by other archaeologists and academics….not restrict their access to the site. Science is NEVER settled, it’s constantly evolving. Egyptology is a relatively young science….less than 200 years old. Hawass is setting Egyptology BACK by rigorously and stubbornly protecting HIS OWN theory which is a shame bc Egypts history is ALL of our history. He’s lost the plot bc of his EGO.
@@XavierBonapart The pushers of that bullshit about aliens make me sick. And I'm furious at American streaming sites for putting that crap on their systems, and not even labelling it as fiction! There once was a law about lying to the public, but Ronnie Alzheimer's Reagan cancelled that law, and so here we are.
Loved that you were able to show us a little of the new museum! I was wondering about seating in the exhibition areas, it doesn't look like there is any. A little difficult for people who can't stand for an extended period.
That was wonderful Thank you Curtis. Im with you about the origin of the great pyramid, I'm onboard with your account of what you see. I know its a history based on evidence. I would so love there to be more to unearth to tell us about the past. I'm still open to more of tge unknown. I'm still very much hoping there is a lost technology still to be explained. The incredible stone vases & borehole etc just baffles me. It's an exciting journey to slowly discover the past. Love your documentaries. X
I love your documentaries, Curtis. Always well researched, always well presented and informative. Your videos are always a must watch immediately. And congrats on 50K subs, it’s well deserved!
This explains nothing about what they are used for no mummy has been found why go to all that work just to bury the dead? Hang on he just said sarcophagus ywhy no body found inside. I prefer Graham Hancock theories but it's a mystery.
Thank you! Enjoyable listening as usual. I always giggle when hearing these alien theories. Diligence, hard work, commitment and center executive raised the pyramids.
Love your documentary curtis so knowable and like information about history of giza,thank you so much for showing these things look forward,more documentary from you .
If it wasn’t for the Egyptian head of archeology we would probably have actual factual answers about what’s in Egypt. But instead we get BS geared towards the tourist agenda. Not to mention the horrible state of Egypt.
It would appear to me, as an outsider - that Zahi has a particular premise and story he wouldn’t deviate from even when presented with factual evidence. It’s like showing someone proof of something and they don’t want to see it - blatant ignorance. Zahi doesn’t like any hypothesis that states Egyptians weren’t responsible for the great pyramids. Personally, I want to find out what’s in the “great void” the scan pyramids project verified and found. They’re going to run even more precise scans soon; unfortunately they say will take up to two years. I do believe however that there could be some definitive evidence as to the origins etc of Khufu’s pyramid. I wish we didn’t have to damage it to find out. There are more questions than answers regarding the great pyramid, and as far as I’m concerned a little bit of graffiti on the wall in crappy red paint doesn’t prove any origin or who built it. Nope. That’s like finding an American flag inside and saying the Americans must’ve built it. Cmon. We need to do better than that. Sorry so long. ❤
@@supexplore8397 oh they know it. Hawass knows it and the dude who made this video knows it. But there's huge profit in keeping the lie alive, not to mention all the secret shit hawass has been doing all these years like selling and hiding artefacts
@@CurtisRyanWoodside well if ur looking for facts that for some reason aren’t for the people coming to check out the pyramids you might want to find people who don’t have a govt agenda and a nice paycheck to keep the BS stories the Egyptian govt wants out there instead of the truth. Your documentary was great and u are fantastic but I don’t trust anybody who has worked for a government that withholds the truth like Dr Z
excelente visuals but i dont trust ZAWI howASS... these were not tombs...!! the weathering on the sphinx according to geologist clearly look over 10000 years old. but great visuals though
Watch Bob Schneiker. He explains the Sphinx weathering. And yes, they were tombs. Menkaure was in his pyramid. The ship carring his body sank off the coast of Spain. Please, inform yourself.

I must admit though the footage was incredible. What a spectacular and vast amount of work. Nice perk of letting Zahi control the story. Overall it was great but I definitely took most of it as a work of fiction.
Why is Hawass such a focus? People have been saying the pyramids were tombs and the sphinx a protective guardian for years and years.
@@AntonSmyth-od6rc I’m not sure I understand your question.
I’ll add this as well. Hewass has an massive ego and bias in regard to his work in Egypt. He is a gatekeeper.
Hawass has hindered so much research and access, physically and historically important data and information. He is a massive roadblock.

@Curtis Ryan Woodside no need to thank me Curtis, thank you for making these documentaries for myself and everyone to enjoy 😊

Gotta love the Hawass
As a man who is turning 75yo in 21 days I'd like to say and tell what I observed in the 1970's, and 1975 March was the last time in Egypt. I had a strong feeling that the pyramids were far older by thousands of years opposed to todays explanations by egyptologist. I say this from observation that it was evident to me that at some period in time a great flood happened just by placement pop all the large and smaller stones on the desert floor. Only water would have floated those stones in such a fashion. I've always thought that during the time of The Kings, or Pharaohs that they encased the pyramids with limestone blocks, and that they stood for thousands of years before. It seems more plausible that this could be accomplished in a 20-30 year time frame. Also, by observation I felt The sphinx to be thousands of years old, and that it had a head of a lion that was carved in the likeness of a pharaoh just because of the newer appearance of the head. It fascinates me the around The World noses and faces of statues have been defaced. Perha[ps this outlook of mine would interest you as a young man near the age I was when first visiting Egypt in my early and mid twenties? I believe people should have more open mindedness about age. Very fascinating presentation and Than You I enjoyed watching to the end! Dale

You might be right.. that's a possibility that seems more like it.
Wish people would leave this story alone. Keep hearing the same points, citing the same sources. Follow the evidence, wherever it leads.
@@mr2wo The evidence has been misconstrued by archeologists wanting their name in history, the evidence was also moved around in the 1950s where they literally moved a whole funerary temple from one site to another in order to 'preserve' a 3000 year old building that survived thousands of years but they still decided to move it, the history you believe is fundamentally distorted by people and their own agendas.
C'est la première fois je trouve documentaire hyper clair special le partie des pyramides et la différence entre les pyramides en Égypte et les pyramides du Soudan et en ce concerne les ennemies sur les murs des temples, les détails du visage de Cleopatra, elle est radieuse et sagesse quanta moi l'histoire d'Égypte c'est l'amitié, la joie, la culture, la danse et la sagesse, mille merci pour vos efforts ❤
One, if not my greatest experience, happened in 1993 when I was in The Great Pyramid by myself and in the dark. There were problems with the lighting and even the guards left the pyramid. Since this was my only opportunity to go inside the pyramid, I climbed up to the Kings Chamber with the lights going on and off. I stood in that chamber in pitch blackness and silence for what felt was about 10 minutes before the lights was restored. It was a magical experience that maybe the ancient gods or the great king permitted me to experience.
Wow you’re brave l! I’ve been in tombs when that happens. Not fun haha
Was in The Great Pyramid by myself in late 2013 during the trial of Mohamed Morsi. There was no one on the streets of Cairo and no one in The Great Pyramid with me...magical indeed!!!
I'm sorry but you sound like Jay from the inbetweeners
Beautiful
Wow lucky
Mind freaking blown …. I freaking love this !!!!! No words I can’t even describe how excited happy…. I can’t … I live too learn about ancient Egyptian history and you give it to me… I love it!
Wow, thank you LM!
The mysteries of Giza...so awe-inspiring, and ending this fantastic film with a rare rainstorm brought the goosebumps and an even lower jaw drop! Wonderful as always, Curtis! xo
The rain was incredible to be in. But the hotels were not designed to handle rain
Awesome documentary. Thanks for sharing
Curtis, this was absolutely riveting! You are a master story teller!. Thank you and the good Doctors for presenting the facts, as we now understand them. I have seen too many (shall we say) 'fanciful' mock-umentaries with fancy CGI... You connecting the dots between real artifacts is so much better. And so much more honest. Thank you!
Yes! Thanks Lawrence. I’m not a fan of modern style docs. Mine I feel are more how documentaries were made 40 years ago.
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Absolutely! There is no need for hyperbolic supposition, the mystery and the history speaks for itself , with the correct storyteller.
Thank You for your absorbing documentaries. I like listening to your narration while doing other activities bur always end up stopping and just watching. So I don’t get much done. Lol. Keep up the great work.
Nice job Curtis, only thing that spoiled it for me and a few others was the Ex Egyptologist Halwas , he has been known for telling the world some lies like the chamber below the Sphinx, it has been documented that there has been a chamber found below the sphinx in between the front legs with its access underneath the wooden walkway. Keeps it great job going Curtis, look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Thanks, although Zahi has dedicated his life to this site. There is nothing under the sphinx. The idea of that is pure speculation and his testing results show there nothing but 3 meter deep Roman period holes
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Thank you for setting that idiot straight. I would have called them a moron straight to their face, LOL!, but you did it kindly, which is obviously so much more effective!
I know that name calling is childish and stupid, but there's only so much that a person can take sometimes. I just get so angry that so many people are so stupid, believing the lies of Hancock etc.
We need every sane person to combat the insanity of the science deniers and egotists like Hancock, who can't be bothered to go to school, so just make stuff up, and steal from 50 year old books by other people.
The explosion of gullible people who believe people like Hancock and Trump, the world's 2 worst liars, is so alarming. What's next? Twenty years ago this type of idiocy would have been inconceivable! So please do keep up the excellent work!
Oh yeah, Hawass. It's just tragic how mistreated he was. The debacle he went through involved false accusations that were a part of a huge political plot between much larger forces, and the overthrow of a government by an armed coup d'etat. He became a pawn in that.
But so many people jumped on it, because before that occurred, he had made a lot of enemies. He was an egotistical and arrogant tyrant at the Dept of Antiquities, and SO many people there wanted to get rid of him, so they were very glad to take part in the purge, even if it was built on lies.
I'm glad that now that he has been taken down several notches you still treated him with respect. He has a fantastic amount of knowledge, and he did so much for Egypt! More than any one person ever has! For its image and econmy, and for Egyptology itself. I think that he still wants to contribute, and I'm glad that you are giving him a chance.
One of the many reasons I hate Hancock so much is that he used the hype about Hawass to vilify him, and to boost his own image. Hancock is nothing but an opportunist who uses other people's publicity, twists it to suit his own purposes, and magnifies it as much as possible. He is VERY skilled at that, although not a bit skilled in any other way. I hope something happens to shut him up. The harm he did to a man who was already "injured" was just so shameful, and the harm he's done to humanity is just incalculable!
Thanks so much for treating Hawass with respect, and showing people who might know that he is still active in archeology in the Cairo region, being in charge of both the Giza plateau and of Sakkara, 2 of the most massive and most critically important sites in all of Egypt (and of course the world!) That alone would be an impossible dream in the lives of 99.99% of archeologists world wide, so although it is a demotion from his previous lofty post, it's still an incredibly important position!
Thank you so much for all you do. I've been watching you for years, but my account keeps getting cancelled, so I have to keep resubscribing, but I am a long time fan. ❤❤❤
Zahi has devoted his life to gatekeeping. I suspect him of “protecting” these discoveries so he can profit first and for no other reason. It’s unknowable how much he has sold off.
@clevelandplonsey7480 … in your opinion
This video by an individual, Curtis Ryan Woodside, is surprisingly more interesting and engaging than many others produced by well-known media organisations. And I've seen dozens of videos on Egypt over the years. Perhaps it's because Curtis has done this "from his heart" while it's "just a job" for most others.
--Shah Alam, Malaysia
The Giza plateau is both popular, the rather underrated in so many ways, as in when there in person, there is more than just the image of the pyramids. Thank you for giving us so much more information.! I’m so grateful to learn so much more! ❤
Im so appreciative that you enjoyed my documentary
What a BEAUTIFUL recollection, my friends.
I like how you highlight otherwise unnoticed things like the docks at the Sphinx, and the camera work - for example some shots look like 3D and also I liked the transition from the ceiling light in the museum to the sun in the desert. What impressed me was the ancient depiction of the Sphinx with the pyramids in the background and that there used to be a statue in front of it! You also put some personal details and thoughts into it and not only cold scientific facts (like the Pharao's mustache). I mean the science is important but those people were like us, breathing and loving and joking, etc.... Very refreshing and nice to watch from start to finish. Thank you, Curtis! Love from Germany.
Wonderful Andreas! Danke! Indeed they were people, and that’s something many people forget!
@@CurtisRyanWoodside1:46:00 You said VRATI SE- GO BACK, it's Serbian!
@@Nekac666 So then how does one write the German term for thank you?
Well done brother, your passion really comes through in an amazing doco. Thank you for setting the record straight! Your heritage has been stolen, played down for a century the importance of Egypt in creation of the modern civilisation has been played down for way to long 👊🏻
Outstanding narration! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Kimberly
it's even more astonishing to see these ancients monuments to co-exist with the modern world in wide shots! the opening with the pyramids, most especially with the sphinx, is awesome!
Yes, the modern world is right there with the ancient
Absolutely fantastic, Curtis 🎉. Despite living in Giza for 1.5 years and marrying an Egyptian, you have impressively documented the Giza plateau and it’s wonders and narrated better than anyone. Such attention to detail in your narrative and vivid photography. Please continue, Curtis. We want more ❤❤❤ And congratulations on your number of subscribers. Tells you something!
Wow you lived in Giza for so long? That’s Impressive
Believe me - I never tired of seeing the pyramids in the distance, remarking on their majesty while rising above the sun-drenched horizon. Exotic. Majestic
I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and I have to say that this is one of the best, if not THE best documentaries I have seen. Interesting throughout the whole program. Thank you very much. Your love of this subject AND the actual people involved is evident. ❤️🤔☺️
Just have to say, Thank you for your work and I would LOVE to visit Egypt... It's a dream of mine!☺️❤️
Yes, Curtis, a beautiful narrative from a beautiful man. 😊
Having a picture of Zahi Hawass in your thumbnail for this video is enough to stop me from watching it.
I'm not alone, in that decision. Just something to keep in mind.
Zahi is my friend and co produced the doc, so your anger is misdirected.
@@CurtisRyanWoodside he is an abomination. How dare he call himself a scholar when he's restricted and politicized so much research in Egypt. Can wait for him to meet his maker so we can actually find the truth of Egypt.
you sheep always flood these comment sections with your infantile hate of Hawass. Its getting really boring having uneducated uninformed twits infesting these forums with unfounded accusations. You and your ilk are merely ignorant sheep who just follow the flock without researching the subject matter. Try original thought for once
What a pure delight to watch, well filmed and presented. It saddens me to see such disrespectful graffiti on these historical ruins sign of the times. What a great job you have thanks for sharing this wonder with us.
Thanks, yes the trash is always an issue, but we try to look beyond that
True
I've gone through some very serious technical difficulties, among other things. During that time you have completely changed your look, the city you live in but, you still have the Rin Tin Tin dog!!! 🤣☺️🤣 As layman your knowledge is vast and I agree to a point. Pyramids. They become something more overtime. Renewal, Rebirth, Energy. I'm so glad that ya got such a wonderful special guest!!! As always take care and have fun!!! 😎😁😎
P.S: Will miss your hair. 😭😉😭
❤️😇
Never amazes me how much more there is still to learn about Giza. Beautifully filmed and narrated. Curtis.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Always more to learn!
Always more to learn!
Finally someone who does it with pation for that? There is so amazing ancient monuments and we can see only Great Pyramids and similiar documents about it. You did amazing job bro. Keep it up. More like theese pls. Perfect documentary
Curtis I’ve only just found your you tube and boy was it great to see, the whole way you do Egypt history is superb and should be in schools I loved it and will love seeing everything you have to watch ,I wish you luck love and happiness and I love the link you have for Conchita ! Love him too.x I’m falling in love with Egypt at last …….
Thank you very much for an awe-inspiring and informative series of glimpses into the wonder and miracle of ancient Egypt!
I finished watching your documentary... a lot of information! Fabulous and exclusive images! I'm delighted! and the SURPRISE the end of the video... don not miss it people! thank you Curtis Ryan Woodside
You can imagine how surprised we were!
Mate I am planning a trip to take my granddaughter to Giza, I am fascinated, I very much appreciate your work, it is tantalizing and no doubt going to cost me quite a lot but I just have to see it for myself. You have my deep gratitude and thanks, keep up the good work friend.
We feel so privileged to have had you as our personal guide at Aswan and Lake Nasser, but visiting Giza and the Pyramids without you simply wasn’t the same. This magnificent documentary has changed all of that! Thank you for this beautifully filmed, researched and presented guide to one of the world’s most wonderful and mysterious places. 🏰💖
Awww that’s soo kind of you Vivienne! Missed being at Giza with you…means we have to go again haha. ❤️
I loved watching all the videos regarding this personalized tour of Egypt. You can tell everyone was genuinely thirsty to learn of this ancient past. Hats off to all involved, especially Curtis...!!!
There is also an indication that the Sphinx goes back to a time when the area was very tropical and there was great rain fall. That would be post "BIG FREEZE". More than 12k BC.
Fantastic video, so many things I haven't seen before... and so much info regarding Khufu and his family, again that I've never heard before... So interesting...!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Close family friends of Woodside's to my family here in the states!!!! Love this documentary!!!
Curtis Ryan Woodside I just finished your video WOW what an amazing documentary. This needs to be shown on the History & or the Discovery Channel.
Even in the Schools & Colleges today. They could learn alot from you. I know I have by watching your films.. I really enjoy all your films. You did a fabulous job on everything.
Explaining everything an showing us through your eyes.. I loved this video..
Have a Blessed day my friend.. love & hugs always, Gwen Odya
Awww thank you my darling Gwen! So kind of you ❤️🤩
Except that those channels are pure trash now, especially the History Channel! Curtis's stuff is far too good for that!
WOW! Excellent, well done and very interesting video. You are a gifted film maker. The addition of the undisputable facts presented by the modern day Lime Green Doctor Zahi Hawass was a stroke of some kind of luck.
Dear Curtis this has got to be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen in my life and I've seen absolutely hundreds. You make it so interesting that you can't take your eyes off it you go into so much depth and detail it's fascinating thank you and I can't wait for the next one ❤️
Oh wow! Really appreciate that, today especially! ❤️
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Your so very welcome I love all your documentaries specially this one I hope you're keeping well .
I Totally Agree. Excellent presentation and delivery !
Really enjoyed it thourly.
So stupid. You like being lied to?
This is incredibly impressive! Watching this with my mom and we both keep saying how insanely good this is. Hi should be very very very proud of this, Curtis!
So glad you both enjoyed
I went last year and visited everywhere mentioned except the crooked ones. You can see them from the step pyramid. Next time we’ll go to those. Thanks for the wonderful documentary
😉
Great work, Curtis. Please do more of these. I really enjoy your documentaries on Egypt and the unusual footage. I'm from South Africa too. 💫🌛
Yay hello from SA
Curtis wears a magnificent t-shirt in the Khafre statue scene in the museum. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Uauuuu !
Awww thanks, always try to dress respectfully toward the sites and artefacts 😉
You could do a video about Egyptian clothing. What really was elegance and what was carnival gone mad. I love Ancient Egypt, but sometimes I get scared by the storm of horns and wings, not to mention the load of amulets. I think you would do well to dive into ancient aesthetics
So amazing Giza ❤❤❤ video a lot of Knowledge ❤❤ Thank you for sharing video ❤I'm in Vietnam and really like watching your video so much ❤❤ i hope you alway lucky and happiness
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding documentary Curtis... I was absolutely transfixed to the screen. Your knowledge is sublime..
Wow, thank you Deanie!
Not a bad documentary. I've always loved ancient civilizations. TH-cam is great for watching 100s of videos of ancient documentary
amazing documentary…respect for searching deeper than the common knowledge is given, it makes your vision so alive and fascinates the viewer. Seems like your old soul must come from ancient Egypt, as you search for the real truth…..its a gift to watch your documentaries, it opens up such a river of information..thank you for all your intensiv research and your creative way to show it to public
Viviane, I always try my best to tell untold stories. Thank you for your kind words
I find your stuff so intriguing. You seem to seek out really unique material, and, you are so refreshing. Also, you are an excellent documentary producer, you have a really good eye. Thank you so much for this, and all power to you! A xx
I would and do watch anything that Dr. H does. I’m glad I found this. What a scholarly man. Thank you for your study and conviction for the Egyptian heritage. ❤
I cant get enough of ancient egypt ,truly amazing and beautiful artifacts
Thank you, Curtis! It´s so fascinating to hear you tell about Egypt, as we learn the truth behind what we see. You present the logical facts with your researches, and these ancient sites let us dream at the same time, because as you point at, everything is not yet known. The Sphinx for exempel, remains mysterious.
Always try to show something unique. Thanks!
Sphinx = Shemzu ; Channel: Ancient Mysterie - The Ancient Egyptian LION-FACED Demon.
The best explanation that I have ever heard of Egyptian history.
Wow that a big compliment Michael! Thanks!
Great video quality. Fascinating
Many thanks!
Thank you for all those amazing documentaries.
One question, though : why does everybody think odd that Djedefre did choose his own hilltop to build his pyramide ? That is what his father, his grand father etc did before him !
What I find most unusual is that Kephren did build on a plateau where there was already a major pyramid.
Maybe it was to try and spend a bit less on it (stone available nearby, an access from the Nile easy to accomodate, an elevation allowing him to build a smaller monument that would nontheless look grand... or to stick to his father - a need for legitimacy ? What became of Djedefre's sons... ?)
Juste a thought...
(sorry for the names in French)
Great work, maybe your best yet. And the snippet at the end after the credits with Ciaro and Ghiza in the rain and flooding - amazing!
The rain was incredible
The way you presented it with the details & analysis is excellent.... love your work.
Dear Curtis: Long hair, short hair, shaved head - none defines you so I hope you have left any
ambivalence about hair behind you. You are defined by your passion, insight and knowledge on Egypt.
Thank you for your expertise, dedication and hard work and sharing with us. When Cleopatra is found in Taposiris Magna; I hope you get to the sight and report on it (Thank you in advance). I noticed the camels in The Secrets of Giza. I hope there is someone protecting their well being and treatment. I look forward to all future documentaries that you will be publishing. Thank you for making the world a more interesting place.
Oh thank you Mary! Well, actually I am in touch with Kathleen, but I’m afraid if she does find anything, that will be a sale to national geographic for sure
@@CurtisRyanWoodside She is another amazing person! There are so many unsung heros of archeology in Egypt! I hope so much for her sake that she does find Cleopatra! I would just love to see her vindicated in her own lifetime! And while she's still young enough to really enjoy it. I'd also just love to see a video by you about her and her ongoing dig. She's made spectacular finds there. All the best to you Curtis! ❤❤❤
Absolutely love this documentary, this is not your traditional garbage told by foreigners, by ppl who dont dare to go againts old theories or by big tv brands. This is made organically, step by step and surprisingly simple if you keep in mind he is covering history of thousands of years. Love not seeing actors, every time he could he would show an actual statue or image from the tombs of the person. I so enjoyed so many details he shares, even the printouts of what no longer exist. I love how he dont hide the controversial information but yet he share them as part of the facts, like the USA altering a Pharaoh's statue to make it look more like im guessing is more acceptable to them? Who knows? I just find it disrespectful in so many levels. Still he shares all this information in a elegant and respectful way. Love the images at the end of Cairo under rain, something foreigner to me since we are so use to seeing Egypt dry and 🌞. I take my hat off and thank you guys for sharing all your knowledge, beautiful! Well done!!
This is really a masterpiece! Your films are just magnificent! Thank you 💜💜💜
Thank you, Curtis, for this fabulous, generous gift.
Curtis you are my ‘go to’ Egyptologist. I love all your documentaries. You create a fascinating learning experience with your narrative and presentation. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge ✌🏽
Oh wow Jojo, hope this one gave you tons of info
@@CurtisRyanWoodside lots of fresh inspiration indeed. I wrote a song for my band about feeling the strength and majesty of the magnificent Egyptian Queens you have spoken about. I’m sure your influence spreads further than you think. Much love from Yorkshire UK 💚
I always find all of this fascinating and hope that one day, all the questions people have are answered with unequivocal knowledge. There are so many "experts" and story tellers with variations to explain all that we see and hope to see. Observing the found objects and putting all we know together, certainly unfolds the possibility that the who, what, where, when and why's are answered with unwavering truths. However there absolutely has to be so much more that we will never know. So with that said Curtis, you have done a wonderful job answering questions, which certainly satisfies the inquisitive mind.
Indeed, still unanswered questions, but I tried to show as much evidence as possible - but not related to building techniques (which are boring) but about the people and WHY they built at the site
@@CurtisRyanWoodside OH Yes - like I said you did a wonderful job answering what some might question. Keep up the good work!
@@CurtisRyanWoodside yeah it's boring because who cares about science and engineering the biggest structure know to man when you can talk about fucking nonsense like egyptian pharaos who didn't built the pyramids? Go humanities!
@Curtis Ryan Woodside building techniques are not Boring, but important.

Ramses is always a special one to see
Curtis you do an amazing job of telling Egyptian history and story’s of these people. It must of been amazing to speak with Dr Hawass … I am in awe of him and you both!
Aw too kind of you
That was flippin' amazing Curtis. Thank you and congratulations on a doc so full of information and beautiful that I will have to watch it several times to absorb it.
Great! Hope you will enjoy it again. Sooo much to see
The whole story is there. That is there legacy. The instructions of how it was all built is journald for each stone set. Egyption were very intelligent so much so they knew their language would be lost even as their pyramid lived on. So, they put it down for everyone in a universal language. It does frustrate me that know one teaches it properly. You did a really good film with the Information you have.
Thank You.
😇
These docs are improving. I wasn’t a fan of his earlier works but this is really good. Credit! For what it’s worth lol just feels like a greater production value
Lol thanks! Same 😂
Fascinating as always! Such rich history, I never cease to be amazed.
Glad you enjoyed it Lesli ! 🌷
Bravo !! Finally a documentary that's really good from start to finish !! But left me wanting to watch more and more .:- )
More to come Ryan!
Whoa I haven’t watched your docs in awhile! you look so different and your videos have evolved so much *wow* this documentary quality is absolutely amazing!! your hair is great either way lol but I totally didn’t even recognize you.
I’m excited to watch & so happy for you! Congratulations on a beautiful documentary😍
Thank you so much Nicole!!!
OMG, I love your documentaries so much! I really hope you can improve the audio, because it's the only thing to improve. Luv U!
New mics were bought just after this documentary. The sound has improved in recent ones
@@CurtisRyanWoodside Oh, thank you for your attention! Please, never stop your work! It's amazing to see someone in YT doing such a great work!
Incredibly informative, without aliens, new age nonsense and other ridiculous bogus this wonderful site is plagued with. Beautiful photography and narration. Thank you.
Couldn't agree more!
Why so much disdain for the truth? Not about the aliens but about all the real and measurable incongruences in the building and construction of the pyramids and stone artefacts. For example the fact that building technology seems to start very advanced and degrades over time. But You people are so brainwashed You can't even consider it. You're nothing more than religious worshippers
Without aliens😅
The “alien” hypothesizers are red herrings used to drown out VALID scientific observations that challenge the current THEORY regarding the age of certain structures.
Hawass is treating HIS theory as absolute fact….that’s not how science works. If he believes his theory is sound, he should allow his theory to be challenged by other archaeologists and academics….not restrict their access to the site.
Science is NEVER settled, it’s constantly evolving. Egyptology is a relatively young science….less than 200 years old.
Hawass is setting Egyptology BACK by rigorously and stubbornly protecting HIS OWN theory which is a shame bc Egypts history is ALL of our history.
He’s lost the plot bc of his EGO.
@@XavierBonapart The pushers of that bullshit about aliens make me sick. And I'm furious at American streaming sites for putting that crap on their systems, and not even labelling it as fiction! There once was a law about lying to the public, but Ronnie Alzheimer's Reagan cancelled that law, and so here we are.
Thank you by this beautifull documentary, the ancient Egypt is really amazing, the most beautifull civilization of all times! From Brazil

My pleasure!
Loved that you were able to show us a little of the new museum! I was wondering about seating in the exhibition areas, it doesn't look like there is any. A little difficult for people who can't stand for an extended period.
Im sure there will more benches, as I saw many in the Cairo museum being installed
Very good insight about Egypt 4th dynasty and 5th I really enjoy your channel Curtis keep up the good work thank you
🥰
That was wonderful Thank you Curtis. Im with you about the origin of the great pyramid, I'm onboard with your account of what you see. I know its a history based on evidence. I would so love there to be more to unearth to tell us about the past. I'm still open to more of tge unknown. I'm still very much hoping there is a lost technology still to be explained. The incredible stone vases & borehole etc just baffles me. It's an exciting journey to slowly discover the past. Love your documentaries. X
Thanks Lucy. Yes still loads more to discover
Awesome video as always! This may sound weird but what really made it for me was the ending! 😊❤

Amazing how much history was involved in the Giza plateau the Pyramid was just an example of how much history involved 🤔😏😎
That was the point of this doc
Absolutely Fantastic in ALL respects!!! And to see Dr. Hawass…….Thanks to you, Curtis and your crew, ever so much! 🤜🤛 🤙
I have been planning this for month with Dr Hawass. And dreaming of it since i was 16
Love your documentary curtis so knowable and like information about history of giza,thank you so much for showing these things look forward,more documentary from you .
Thanks Vickie! More to come
If it wasn’t for the Egyptian head of archeology we would probably have actual factual answers about what’s in Egypt. But instead we get BS geared towards the tourist agenda. Not to mention the horrible state of Egypt.
This is my research, collaboration with Zahi. This is not aimed at tourists, it’s aimed at people wanting facts
It would appear to me, as an outsider - that Zahi has a particular premise and story he wouldn’t deviate from even when presented with factual evidence. It’s like showing someone proof of something and they don’t want to see it - blatant ignorance. Zahi doesn’t like any hypothesis that states Egyptians weren’t responsible for the great pyramids.
Personally, I want to find out what’s in the “great void” the scan pyramids project verified and found. They’re going to run even more precise scans soon; unfortunately they say will take up to two years. I do believe however that there could be some definitive evidence as to the origins etc of Khufu’s pyramid. I wish we didn’t have to damage it to find out.
There are more questions than answers regarding the great pyramid, and as far as I’m concerned a little bit of graffiti on the wall in crappy red paint doesn’t prove any origin or who built it. Nope. That’s like finding an American flag inside and saying the Americans must’ve built it. Cmon. We need to do better than that.
Sorry so long. ❤
Like he said though, a lot of this is assumptions and not fact
@@supexplore8397 oh they know it. Hawass knows it and the dude who made this video knows it. But there's huge profit in keeping the lie alive, not to mention all the secret shit hawass has been doing all these years like selling and hiding artefacts
@@CurtisRyanWoodside well if ur looking for facts that for some reason aren’t for the people coming to check out the pyramids you might want to find people who don’t have a govt agenda and a nice paycheck to keep the BS stories the Egyptian govt wants out there instead of the truth. Your documentary was great and u are fantastic but I don’t trust anybody who has worked for a government that withholds the truth like Dr Z
Impressive! Dr. Hawass... YOUVE GOT THE TOUCH😮
Hahah he’s my friend for a few years now. He’s such a wonderful person

excelente visuals but i dont trust ZAWI howASS...
these were not tombs...!! the weathering on the sphinx according to geologist clearly look over 10000 years old.
but great visuals though
Watch Bob Schneiker. He explains the Sphinx weathering. And yes, they were tombs. Menkaure was in his pyramid. The ship carring his body sank off the coast of Spain. Please, inform yourself.
