10. Mummified Baboons
For centuries, the Ancient Egyptians imported and mummified captive baboons. Some of these primates likely worked as service animals, and to show off wealth, while others were used in the worship of Thoth, a god who is sometimes depicted as having a baboon’s head.
9. Ram-Headed Sphinx & Flooded Tomb
In early 2019, archaeologists and workers uncovered an 11-and-a-half-foot tall (3.5 meters) statue of a ram-headed sphinx at the Gebel el-Silsila site near Aswan. The sandstone carving dates back over 3,000 years and was found in an ancient workshop.
8. The Mysterious Skull of Akhenaten
There are many mysteries surrounding Ancient Egypt, including why they built the pyramids and what they used them for. And how did they know so much about engineering, farming, health, and astronomy??
7. The Amarna Letters
The earliest known examples of international diplomacy can be found in the Amarna Letters, a collection of 382 clay tablets dating back to the 14th century B.C. They detail the correspondences between Egyptian pharaohs and their rivals, including Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, and Mitanni rulers and reveal the raw human emotions that came with competing tensions and delicate negotiations.
6. Origins Of The Hyksos
Researchers long believed that the Hyksos, a mysterious dynasty that ruled Egypt from 1638 B.C. to 1530 B.C., were foreigners who invaded the area and took over. But recent research shows that this enigmatic group may have come from within Egypt all along.
5. Gilded Mummy
In mid-2018, an Egyptian-German team of archaeologists announced the discovery of a tomb complex containing a mummification workshop, mummies, sarcophagi, and a silver face mask gilded with gold. The site, located in Saqqara, contains several underground burial shafts, with some measuring over 100 feet (30 meters) deep, according to a statement from the team.
4. Mummified Lion Cubs
In late 2019, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced the first-ever discovery of two mummified lions in Ancient Egypt. A team of archaeologists led by Mostafa Waziri, the secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, found the pair in a tomb full of cat statues and cat mummies in the necropolis of Saqqara.
3. Magnificent Catacomb
During the period of Roman rule in Egypt a little less than 2,000 years ago, a woman named Demetria was entombed in an ornately decorated catacomb within the vast necropolis of Saqqara. Everything is going down in Saqqara!
2. Mystery Mummy
Archaeologists were stumped when, in early 2019, they encountered a tomb along the Nile River, near Aswan, belonging to a mysterious man named Tjt. Inside, they found the wooden fragments of the coffin that once held his remains, along with at least 34 mummies, including young children.
1. The Bent Pyramid
In the Dahshur royal necropolis, located roughly 25 miles (40 km) south of Cairo, sit two pyramids, the Bent Pyramid and its satellite. Both are roughly 4,600 years old; the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Sneferu commissioned their construction around 2600 B.C., during Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

Ancient Egypt has always been my favorite. I read & watch everything I can find! It’s always been my dream of seeing the real thing! ⛵️🌾
20yrs ago I done a on line course in reading ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics I was so taken by thier civilisation it blows me away when you put anything Egyptian I read the inscription on the sarchofici thier language expanded thru all the different ages in the old kingdom thier were not many glyphs as different dynasties came to power more glyphs came to be e.g., the Greek dynasties, the Roman , etc always able to keep thier own identitty very fascinating and a very exciting place archeological speaking cheers great videos
Thank you for the show Katrina. You make my day
Amazing ! Can’t wait to see more!
I've been interested in ancient cultures as well and I like this video, good work, and good you also do a video about phonecia or assyria or babylonia or all three please?
cool. thanks katrina.
OMG i loved this videooo. Could u plzz do one about greece too 💙
Oh yeah, Egypt and Rome have always interested me.
same i love them there my favrite to read about and watch about
I love Egypt, Greece, and Rome can't get enough of them.
Persian and Iraqi cultures are also interesting .
I am Egyptian and like you I am fascinated with both Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilisations. However, I find ancient Babylon culture and the fairly recent Koufa, Basra and Iranian heritage quite fascinating, too.
@@nohahaggag I'm part Egyptian also
2:11 ram Sphinx was found on North America lol
Yea what's up with that? Is it just to make ppl interact more with the channel?
So basically most of the things that I've learned here are just false? 😭
Great channel just finished watching everyone of you videos and learned alot
0:22 I laughed so hard when I saw that mummified baboon. 🤣 3:50 Amazing theory and explanation. Thank you for the update, Katrina..!!
I am Egyptian but still your teaching me a lot about my own country
Cool name 😅
@@arthurmanjoro4632
Yeah my name is actually greek for immortal and in greek it can be shorten to thanos 🤣
That's actually true I'm not making that up
Hahahahahahaha
I love ancient Egypt it's so amazing
I wonder how a RAM headed sphinx was found on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA
So if you're told by a person that you're acting like a baboon, you're actually showing off your wealth.
Lmao i hear your voice even b4 i start the video 😂😂🤣🤣
Hope you have a great year
Thank you
Could they not just check the dna for defects or for dna not in humans..? Lol
You would think that Punt was somewhere you would find baboons
I just like it
Thank you❤
They’re black not white, Egyptians
It reminds me of the movie Coneheads. Even thou I saw the movie when I was a kid I remember learning about Egypt in school I blurted out look it's The Coneheads.
Interesting
It's just my opinion but I believe not only were tombs raided in ancient times, but they're still being raided today as they're found. And not just by local villagers.
Interesting...
The Bent Pyramid was an engineering mistake. They realized half way through the angle was too steep, and altered the angle. That's why it's bent.
Bro this people don’t make mistakes !
I'm pretty sure that you can choose not to watch a channel that "doesn't give a shit" but i may be wrong. I love the videos and will keep watching. Have a great day, Katrina!
606th! yay! hi, Katrina! entertaining and informative, as always. the thing about Akenaten's strange head and body shape could be caused by interbreeding. it was a common practice in ancient Egypt for rulers to wed sisters or other closely related women. this was done to keep the royal bloodlines pure, according to researchers. many cultures followed similar practices, even in more recent times. some of the more documented cases have shown strange, almost bizaar physical abnormalities in the offspring of this type of relationship. doesn't have to be ancient alien related. 💩👽🤯
It was. Theyve already proven it. Its a specific disorder caused by long term incest. Its also why Tut was unable to produce viable offspring.
@@neva_nyx Neva, thanks for the confirmation! was pretty sure of this, but hadn't seen any proof. makes a lot more sense than "he was an alien". one more for the non-alien side!
20th! Here and watching!!!
Almost #1
love their YUGIOH Cards
Roger Bagnall! A professor of mine, back in my Columbia days. Good memories.
The abnormally shaped skulls @ 5:25. I’ve always heard that those were caused by the common practice of the Egyptians in Power inbreeding too much & too closely within their Families. Brother and Sister, for example.
make a video of ppl eating bugs please!
Katrina u forget ' recent '
It’s my birthday 🥳 can I get a happy birthday from Katrina!!!
Hbd beesh
Just because you think the sun's hot don't mean it really is.
Demetria, Menelaos are Greek names, existing, even, today. The tomb or temple showing at 14.37 is, also, of ancient Greek origins.
guess we were Kings after all 😁
im pretty sure that the pyrmids are for the tombs of kings and queens
I'm pretty sure you don't know what an Egyptian tomb looks like inside or how many bodies were found inside the great pyramids.
As for the elongated skulls being created by humans intentionally is true however the larger ones even like those found in Peru were not.
Hi it’s Katrina
The great lost labyrinth of ancient Egypt
They used baboons as police animals
Katrina we talk about this before; The Egyptians didn’t build the great pyramid !!!
Punt is probably underwater and usually I like your videos but the music in this one is too loud and ridiculous. hate it.
someday are too sad to hear a chipper voice.
WHAT IF THE ACTUALLY PYRAMIDS PRODUCED OZONE (OXYGEN 3)
But you can tell some of those skills are from a different type of human
So many are blind thinking science has all the answers...but guess what they all are just guessing the same as we al do they just get paid to publish their guesses.
They were slaves despite what is being said. They were accustomed to hard labor, which is why they all had broken bones and such.
Why do they make it seem like Egytian history is not African history if Punt was Ethiopia than the Egytians were Ethiopians
@Jose Guapo This is African history
Ancient egyptian had hydrocephalous
I wish someone can read what the walls say
No, it’s the other way around. If humans take pains to artificially elongate their skulls, it would have to be a sign of excellence or supremacy. This concept doesn’t spring from thin air, but it could come from tales of supreme alien beings or from abnormalities caused by royal inbreeding.
Egyptians did not enslaved the Israelites, the invading Hyskos enslaved the Israelites to divide and conquer Egypt
Can I get a shoutout please I was the first like
I meant could
;). Tic. /tok. Truth!
So I guess the theory of Ancient Egyptian not being black has just been proven wishful thinking.. seeing as punt is there home land
First
2nd
This might be a good channel if you kept it factual and had proper images. Either be conspiracy or factual or identify which are backed by science and which are tabloid smut. Stop with the shutter stock, it looks tacky.
please make correction ,
ismalis are not Muslims!
Shia not Islam.
The land of punt was in Somali
Interesting clip but extremely unprofessional when ridiculing and discrediting the cranial shape of other races and species.
(John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.)
I like you stories.... but some are way off... the Egyptians were negatively oriented after the pyramids were built to hold and cover openings into the earth for the reptilians.. for which er technology was used to build the pyramids... ❤️
