You have to be careful tho because history is supposed to constantly evolve as new facts are added along the way yet, they rarely do so and that's especially true for egyptologists. They present theories as facts when they usually don't even have anything to back it up.
These sophisticated Egyptians had thousands of years of observations of how the Nile flooded from year to year. The Egyptologists seem not to credit them with the brains to build their towns and villages out of the path of the flood water. Just a thought.
Carrying water is an unbelievably difficult task. Flooding seemed intermittent and, possibly, more like avenge for some wrongdoing, rather than a natural, cyclic or cataclysmic occurrence. Proximity to water, due to its ability to ameliorate savage heat, (desert) dust, etc., has to this day been highly valued. Survival & relatively pleasant living has high priority. We still don't plan well.
You cynical "thought" is based on scientific facts. Egyptology, for an unknown reason at this time, remain in full blown denial with respect to any new evidence offered. I would guess, based on long observations (as you say) the people involved with the Nile controlled flooding BETTER than our highly educated engineers today. L

@@freedomofreligion3248 Why are you offering an opinion on something you clearly know nothing about? The Nile's floods were far from intermittent--in fact, they were normally very dependably annual.

Just got back from Egypt with some phd’s in Egyptian archaeology and they almost always dedicated elaborate (not as much as the kings) tombs for their daughters and wives, nearby. The people buried with the kings were typically servants, priests, workers, etc. and they weren’t sacrificed all the time sometimes they were buried at their own time of death.

Switched from Pyramids to Underground Tombs? Pyramids were not tombs. I can't believe they are still teaching that. Has any pharaoh ever been found in a pyramid? Not that I ever heard of. I could be wrong but I have heard so many theories about what pyramids were built for and it wasn't tombs.
Hi I. What about the Sarcophagus in the pyramid of KuFu? It might be that the pyramids were for multifaceted reasons the Archaeologists are yet to reveal, or, I'm so amateur, they probably already have revealed ha! I thought it was an amazing story, though not related, about when Napoleon in 1799 slept a night in the sarcophagus of KuFu. He emerged the next day chalk white. Others asked what was his experience. He said if he told no one would believe him. He never revealed what it was. Maybe that was only a myth. I think someone in the 1930's got permission to sleep in the sarcophagus and they said nothing happened, that's if my memory is correct.
Pharaoh Djedkare Isesi's mummy was discovered in his pyramid. The rest were robbed primarily during the First Intermediate period, but plenty of them still contain the sarcophagi. Also, beginning with Pharaoh Unas, many pyramids had the pyramid texts inscribed on their burial chambers' walls which detail information and spells the pharaoh would need in the afterlife. All this 100 percent points to the fact that they were tombs.
The zoo was not for chaos. It was to show power. He had things people had never seen before. Which left them in awe. Thus giving him more power over the people.
I have believed that Gobekli Tepi was actually the world's first zoo, or even a form of super market where one could go to pick out what to eat for dinner, even though archaeologists claim it as a religious center. I could be wrong but that's what I believe. Only a time machine can let us know anything factual of the past.
No. finding animal bones and cages would be proof, we call this science archeology btw. You may wanna look that up before making such dumb comments. If you travel in time and see a marked, does this mean that this place has always been a marked? Not at all. Time travel doesn't work like that. It would give you the experience of that time sure, but after you go home, everything could change.
This is just pieced together taking snippets of various documentaries to make a mis-matched story with the only common theme being unchonologically orded discoveries of ancient Egypt.

@@georgeel6868 point is, there’s still info, and it ain’t the usual madness. I know a bit about Egypt. It’s not as this they’re making it out to be a buncha rockets and aliens.
Paying it forward book recommendation - I went to Graham Hancock’s event in Sedona this year and someone I met there recommended another book that approaches the same subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids. Blew my mind. Highly recommend it.
No youre correct in thinking that it started in the part that left out the beginning. Just dont know which part. Unless... They did it to keep the boring part out. We couldve had an introduction at the least right??
also nobody is excavating the newly discovered (before 5 years) 1200 tones heavy stones in Baalbek quarry in Lebanon. The same impossible megalithic stones are 15 meteres under the "wall of crying" in Jerusalem which must be much older than the wall, pre flood?
Why does it have to be pre flood? Why are only pre flood civilisations, of which you can produce no evidence, the only ones ever capable of building monoliths?
So....why do they ALWAYS have to assume a ritual or mysterious purpose to everything they find? Why can't a zoo just be a zoo? Why does it have to have a magical purpose to fight evil? Ancient Egyptians were probably just as curious as we are today about exotic and dangerous animals, and had a zoo of them for people to look at. Nothing more complicated than that.
I agree. But unless it fits the egyptian paradigm there is no exceptance or professional prestige. It is as if human nature, other reasons are not considered. Hence history is unquestioned.
@@peterbutler9594 So, basically what you are saying is people don't like to have what they believe to be true, questioned in any way. These basic theories in eygptology have been taught as fact for so long, I wonder that even if they dug up irrefutable evidence that the ancient Egyptians were highly advanced and had technology, if they would actually consider what they found or, suppress the find because it doesn't fit in with the theories they've been taught for so long.
So a Porsche or a Maserati is only acquired as a vehicle to get around in? It’s a status thing! Just like exotic animals in ancient Egypt. Why does a reason always have to sound lofty or complicated. “Warding off chaos”, what rot! People don’t change. 🤣
Even if I realize that the sharing of work means the workers will almost ALWAYS find the artifacts, it bothers me that people come to the forefront , sprinkle a little water on whatever it is and, well, the workers do NOT get any recognition for their hard work and the fact that they were the ones making the discovery. I know that the guy's family will get more than others and they will live well for a few years but it still irks me. Maybe I have no business making comments since I have never been there during a dig.
Amazing it went from all about history to all about treasure nowadays you can't visit them sites because of treasure Hunters some of those sites have been purposely erased off the planet
Very informative video! I loved it, thanks for sharing! I also recently watched very interesting video about Pyramids where Irina Podzorova from Cassiopeia project is explaining the mystery and purpose of it. I recommend checking it out.❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
they're actually not credited for the building of The Great Pyramids of Giza. None of their tombs or burials nor hieroglyphs have been found in any of the great pyramids either
@@nathansilvestre1866 you are two years late to the party. Messages between two head architects of the great pyramids were discovered two years ago and they confirm the very first theory of how they were built. As for why that was kept a secret in ancient times, well, why would you ever tell your neighboring rivals how to build your wonders ?
@Mike Baboosh why is copper chisel so strange an idea? Every single ancient civilization made amazing sculptures with geometric shaped much more tricky than squares, and in materials such as basalt Basalt and granite are much tougher than limestone. In fact limestone is the easiest stone to chisel. Do you thinks it's tricky for the people who can sculpt statues out of basalt, to cut limestone into square shapes ?
😐👍 Highly interesting video. 😐👎 Hate it when some "expert" compares the age of the pyramids to _anything_ else, mainly because the age of the first pyramids, the most magnificent ones, is highly contested with extremely intriguing evidence to support the hypothesis that they are much, much older than any egyptologist ever dared to imagine.
My first thought was OMG those poor people who were killed with the leader and Animals. However, knowing their religion they probably thought it was a surefire way to get to the afterlife and probably volunteered. So interesting.
@@bobwilson7684 Christianity before Islam. The end of ancient Egyptian culture was credited to the introduction of Christianity to Egypt. Christianity and all other Abrahamic religions are antagonistic towards ancient Egyptian belief system.
@@GORO911 christians were very intersted in the egyptians, their churches and temples are decorated with obelisks all over, islam, didn´t gave a f..kk, or as much as for the giant budas or the sumerians....what a catastrophe they did, and when the French went there, that is how ancient Khemet was, entirely abandoned and absolute non existance of any interest on the ancient Khemet by muslims. zero. muslims hate dogs, Khemites worshiped doglike figures...
The zoo was a magical weapon against chaos? Of the possible explanations for what was found, that seems to be the least likely! Maybe the archaologists are better at finding things than figuring out what they used to be before ruined.
Considering that Egyptian gods were animals, that sometimes took human form, I think the Egyptologists might be right. They probably were closer to temples than to zoos, though.
the ruler buried with the animals... is seen in several places in ancient times, rulers have long had "zoos" as we call them, now, but they weren't exactly a public display... more like a personal display of power. using one animal to ward of others had to start off somewhere, somehow. like romans used geese as guards. flying cobra chickens are nasty territorial creatures who have no qualms attacking people...
It really kills me, the way so many ignorant people make their uninformed opinions known to the world, all the while denigrating the scientists who are busy making incredible discoveries. It's as though they think the scientists do no more than guess at what they've found.
Shocked that they would contemplate whether the statue was sitting or standing for a millisecond. They would have found that the pieces were attached to a throne. A pharaoh would not be depicted siting on anything else. Hard to believe!
Bruh....Standing would suggest something different and that is why they contemplated it. Finding a standing pharaoh statue would have been a first and then research would've been conducted as to why this pharaoh was constructed unusually. You cannot just make assumptions. This is exactly how we figure out things. We leave the idea open and look for clues as to why we need to make this guess. Remember when they found Ramesses son? The screaming mummy was a mystery until they found out that it was Ramesses son would was complicit in the plot to assassinate him. Had they just drew the conclusion that "no member of the royal family would ever be mummified this way so it coudnt have been his son", they would've never found out what actually happened.
The expert archaeologists are wondering why Pharaoh's owned a collection of wild animals? I don't know maybe theyre previous incarnations of Michael Jackson
Egyptians made all that stuff out of granite by shapeing the pieces because the stone was still workable like clay is to us.because of the different time period granite was still workable like clay.MINDBLOWN

I'm a huge fan of archeological discoveries and what is learned from them. However it's quite sobering to think that volcanic eruptions or climatic shifts may create a climate where my family's buried remains or those in Arlington National Cemetery will be dug up, auctioned and placed on public display. There is something to be said for the sanctity of the dead.
What a bizarre thing to worry about! I get why you'd say your family's remains, but Arlington is strangely specific and exclusive. Are you saying that, as long as those two groups aren't bothered, it's fine if everyone else's corpses are sold off? You''re a bit strange.
@@TheEudaemonicPlague I never said nor implied such a thing. What is strange is that you find enjoyment in taking benign comments and attaching such erroneous and preposterous assumptions to their meaning.
Americans are incapable of mastering the English language. They're very sensitive about "independence" and creating their own interpretation of the English language. Furthermore, their interpretation of "history" is on a timescale much less great than other societies, such as ancient histories of Britain, the middle east, South America... since modern, [dare I say white?] Americans have only been around for a couple of centuries, following British colonisation. They call Football "Soccer" and have a strangely short timescale when evaluating antiques. To be more kinder to them, Americans are still learning to understand the meaning of History and all of its sub-categories and terminology.
well... prehistoric does have a certain meaning, and it does apply... they weren't writing it down pre·his·tor·ic /ˌprē(h)iˈstôrik/ adjective adjective: pre-historic relating to or denoting the period before written records. "prehistoric man"
Do'es anyone but me think its a bit insulting. 'europeans digging up ancient egyption pharo's. its like egyptions coming to england and digging up henry 8th
Thing is. The digging is performed and approved by the Egyptians themselves, under their supervision. There is a representative of the government accompanying all these excavations done by foreigners.
To have built a structure [Great Pyramid] so integral and linked to the measurements of the Earth itself, including equations such as Pi and the radius of the Earth (Core to surface length), alignment with other sites right around the planet, and then to believe that the sun God, Ra, died at sunset to be reborn in the morning... doesn't seem to make sense AT ALL. What kind of primitive, albeit romantic and admirable, beliefs fall in line with a civilisation that knew the measurements of the Earth, even its radius, and let's not even get into the stone work of the temples, monuments and the enigmatic Pyramid, what kind of civilisation does this? It seems as though there are two time lines, or two civilisations who have either discovered each other or learned of each other in passing from one to the next. What is really baffling, is how all of this precise perfectly learned, evaluated, tested and proven skill came about as if out of nowhere. Where are the years of development, evolution of technology? It isn't just stone that has been left behind for us to study, there are texts, personal items, legislative law and evidence of customs, ways of life, heirarchy, etc etc, but the baffling precision and grandeur, perfection of anatomical sculpture and level of construction mastery seems to have just suddenly been acquired. Unless... it was left behind by someone or something else... that the Egyptians inherited or taken the structures, or discovered and claimed for themselves for use of their civilisation the infrastructure, scrawling graffiti all over it, making us believe that it was Egyptian in origin...
Disappointing. The intro and at least three segments are badly edited. Clips from other shows are stuck together with no additional explanation or voice-overs to help them flow. The intro actual starts in mid-sentence. That's remarkable for the Smithsonian channel.
It feels like the video starter after the program already did. Is this a part 2 of something? Also why isn't she wearing gloves while handling those artifacts?
a violent eruption of Etna in 44 B.C. had environmental consequences which, when recognized, help us better to understand some of the crucial historical events of this period. Copied that from google Also Mount Okmok (It didn't help that Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C., the year before the cold spell.) Scientists have long suspected that a massive volcanic eruption caused the two-year-long cold snap. And now, researchers have identified the volcano responsible: Mount Okmok on Alaska' s unmak island. copied that off of google
Every time I watch Egypt stuff, I think , " Why doesn't anyone plant a lot of trees there?" They obviously will and used to grow there. Maybe the desert is more appealing?
You can plant all the trees you want vut they die without water. And 10000 years ago there were trees there by the way. This is not breaking archeology in this channel. Rather old
@@Fuzzmo147 A lot of people think you need water before the trees, the thing is, if you plant and establish trees , they will bring the water themselves, create streams, etc...
So who's got a scuba suit? The Nile has to have some shrubs poking out the water that may be land growing over more statues..... We all know that the oceans and river push out relics as they move and shift. Most of these items will end up downstream. Just saying.
Does anyone know why the Egyptian mummies features look nothing like the Egyptian people of today. Also I noticed that the Egyptian belief in gods for explanation of heaven and earth are similar to the greek gods.
Most interesting, I'm not too sure what to make of the historians who are so eager to relay the story of what took place, as if they were present during that period, other than "imaginative"...! The architect(s) of the Pyramid had a phenomenal knowledge of the cosmos and how best to extrapolate its power.
It always baffles me as to how documents written 100 or more years after a secular event seem to always be held as truth ; BUT anything written with that same timeline about the Bible are often discredited…
Somewhere in under or around the pyramids is a fast library of books that were written before the deluge it's a fact people they might have already been found and they might not but they're there
Love these but it feels like it starts in the middle or is that just me? Kind of feels like I missed the first few minutes but then I try to rewind and am like “oh guess that’s where it started”

Switched from Pyramids to Underground Tombs? Pyramids were not tombs. I can't believe they are still teaching that. Has any pharaoh ever been found in a pyramid? Not that I ever heard of. I could be wrong but I have heard so many theories about what pyramids were built for and it wasn't tombs.
They were used for the Pharos to go onto the afterlife- just bc they did not find bodies doesn’t mean they weren’t used as tombs.
Hi I. What about the Sarcophagus in the pyramid of KuFu? It might be that the pyramids were for multifaceted reasons the Archaeologists are yet to reveal, or, I'm so amateur, they probably already have revealed ha! I thought it was an amazing story, though not related, about when Napoleon in 1799 slept a night in the sarcophagus of KuFu. He emerged the next day chalk white. Others asked what was his experience. He said if he told no one would believe him. He never revealed what it was. Maybe that was only a myth. I think someone in the 1930's got permission to sleep in the sarcophagus and they said nothing happened, that's if my memory is correct.
Pharaoh Djedkare Isesi's mummy was discovered in his pyramid. The rest were robbed primarily during the First Intermediate period, but plenty of them still contain the sarcophagi. Also, beginning with Pharaoh Unas, many pyramids had the pyramid texts inscribed on their burial chambers' walls which detail information and spells the pharaoh would need in the afterlife. All this 100 percent points to the fact that they were tombs.
No body has ever been found in any pyramid AFAIK. The most certainly weren't tombs.
I thought there were many burials inside the pyrimads
Nice Narrations, Very intersting Contents. Much Love Smithsonian. 👍❤
The zoo was not for chaos. It was to show power. He had things people had never seen before. Which left them in awe.
Thus giving him more power over the people.
Learned somthing new on this one 😮😮
mind blowing indeed
“At a funeral, everybody went together” she says with a huge smile on her face 😀 lol 6:14
Just wow ❤️
I have believed that Gobekli Tepi was actually the world's first zoo, or even a form of super market where one could go to pick out what to eat for dinner, even though archaeologists claim it as a religious center.
I could be wrong but that's what I believe.
Only a time machine can let us know anything factual of the past.
No. finding animal bones and cages would be proof, we call this science archeology btw. You may wanna look that up before making such dumb comments.
If you travel in time and see a marked, does this mean that this place has always been a marked? Not at all. Time travel doesn't work like that. It would give you the experience of that time sure, but after you go home, everything could change.
@@Validboy You should learn how to spell market before calling other people dumb.
@@leosrule5691 You're a flat earther aren't you? Based on the level of science in your comments, you sure are...

Good evening everyone
The Zulu people were doing the same exact thing#2 . When a king dies the will be people killed and buried with him.
so was the qin kingdom in the spring and autumn period of china but they abolished it during that period
The Aztecs did that as well.
This is just pieced together taking snippets of various documentaries to make a mis-matched story with the only common theme being unchonologically orded discoveries of ancient Egypt.
It may be that they were berried by the great flood or they were placed there by our ancestors. Don't you think?
Is that not how historians get a picture of what may have taking place or not as time goes by new things are discovered that may prove or disprove are theory's of the past and are evolution to the now the more learn the greater the unknown kind missing pieces of snippets of your frontal lobe Einstein!

Paying it forward book recommendation - I went to Graham Hancock’s event in Sedona this year and someone I met there recommended another book that approaches the same subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, death, the afterlife, time travel, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids. Blew my mind. Highly recommend it.
Where is the rest of that statue? I mean did someone haul the rest off ages ago?
What about the bigger ,long graves front of Pyramid ? Who’s graves is that ?
Never heard about those long graves .
the boat graves?
No youre correct in thinking that it started in the part that left out the beginning. Just dont know which part. Unless... They did it to keep the boring part out. We couldve had an introduction at the least right??
Awesome facts
My mind is still blown from your last one, I cannot eat or sleep, all I do is drool.
Very interesting this is really good..🙏
also nobody is excavating the newly discovered (before 5 years) 1200 tones heavy stones in Baalbek quarry in Lebanon. The same impossible megalithic stones are 15 meteres under the "wall of crying" in Jerusalem which must be much older than the wall, pre flood?
Why does it have to be pre flood?
Why are only pre flood civilisations, of which you can produce no evidence, the only ones ever capable of building monoliths?
How does one become an expert on something they know absolutely nothing about. in recent years everything has been turned upside down

So....why do they ALWAYS have to assume a ritual or mysterious purpose to everything they find? Why can't a zoo just be a zoo? Why does it have to have a magical purpose to fight evil? Ancient Egyptians were probably just as curious as we are today about exotic and dangerous animals, and had a zoo of them for people to look at. Nothing more complicated than that.
I agree. But unless it fits the egyptian paradigm there is no exceptance or professional prestige. It is as if human nature, other reasons are not considered. Hence history is unquestioned.
@@peterbutler9594 So, basically what you are saying is people don't like to have what they believe to be true, questioned in any way. These basic theories in eygptology have been taught as fact for so long, I wonder that even if they dug up irrefutable evidence that the ancient Egyptians were highly advanced and had technology, if they would actually consider what they found or, suppress the find because it doesn't fit in with the theories they've been taught for so long.
So a Porsche or a Maserati is only acquired as a vehicle to get around in? It’s a status thing! Just like exotic animals in ancient Egypt. Why does a reason always have to sound lofty or complicated. “Warding off chaos”, what rot! People don’t change. 🤣
@@mysticmama_3692 because people were obsessed with religion back then, and the egyptians were by far the most obsessed
This is a perfect example of why the average person should fight for clean water laws.
Even if I realize that the sharing of work means the workers will almost ALWAYS find the artifacts, it bothers me that people come to the forefront , sprinkle a little water on whatever it is and, well, the workers do NOT get any recognition for their hard work and the fact that they were the ones making the discovery. I know that the guy's family will get more than others and they will live well for a few years but it still irks me. Maybe I have no business making comments since I have never been there during a dig.
Amazing it went from all about history to all about treasure nowadays you can't visit them sites because of treasure Hunters some of those sites have been purposely erased off the planet

They snuffed out their own lineages??
Just think about it... how the heck did they build such 3D printed precision and detail 😱
they're actually not credited for the building of The Great Pyramids of Giza. None of their tombs or burials nor hieroglyphs have been found in any of the great pyramids either
@Mike Baboosh I guess the aliens did it ? XD
@@nathansilvestre1866 you are two years late to the party.
Messages between two head architects of the great pyramids were discovered two years ago and they confirm the very first theory of how they were built.
As for why that was kept a secret in ancient times, well, why would you ever tell your neighboring rivals how to build your wonders ?
@Mike Baboosh why is copper chisel so strange an idea?
Every single ancient civilization made amazing sculptures with geometric shaped much more tricky than squares, and in materials such as basalt
Basalt and granite are much tougher than limestone. In fact limestone is the easiest stone to chisel.
Do you thinks it's tricky for the people who can sculpt statues out of basalt, to cut limestone into square shapes ?
@Mike Baboosh this^^^
😐👍 Highly interesting video.
😐👎 Hate it when some "expert" compares the age of the pyramids to _anything_ else, mainly because the age of the first pyramids, the most magnificent ones, is highly contested with extremely intriguing evidence to support the hypothesis that they are much, much older than any egyptologist ever dared to imagine.
And you know this how?
I had some airy fairy vague nebulous theories with zero evidence to back them up tooo....
And by chaotic, do you mean slowly just kept filling with water, or suddenly ruptured over everything? Very confusing; please explain.
My first thought was OMG those poor people who were killed with the leader and Animals. However, knowing their religion they probably thought it was a surefire way to get to the afterlife and probably volunteered. So interesting.
I.seriosly.doubt it..
The Egyptian heritage is scattered all over the museums of the world!
Because the later Egyptians happily sold them to anyone who wanted to buy. They had no interest in their own ancient history.
@@princerupert6161 ...islam....

Christianity before Islam.
The end of ancient Egyptian culture was credited to the introduction of Christianity to Egypt.
Christianity and all other Abrahamic religions are antagonistic towards ancient Egyptian belief system.

The zoo was a magical weapon against chaos? Of the possible explanations for what was found, that seems to be the least likely! Maybe the archaologists are better at finding things than figuring out what they used to be before ruined.
Considering that Egyptian gods were animals, that sometimes took human form, I think the Egyptologists might be right. They probably were closer to temples than to zoos, though.
@@WowUrFcknHxC Everything is always a temple, according to them. I should be glad that they decided something was a zoo!
-Ma Lord, it’s chaos out there, what to do?
-Bring all the wild animals!
the ruler buried with the animals... is seen in several places in ancient times, rulers have long had "zoos" as we call them, now, but they weren't exactly a public display... more like a personal display of power.
using one animal to ward of others had to start off somewhere, somehow. like romans used geese as guards. flying cobra chickens are nasty territorial creatures who have no qualms attacking people...
It really kills me, the way so many ignorant people make their uninformed opinions known to the world, all the while denigrating the scientists who are busy making incredible discoveries. It's as though they think the scientists do no more than guess at what they've found.
Shocked that they would contemplate whether the statue was sitting or standing for a millisecond. They would have found that the pieces were attached to a throne. A pharaoh would not be depicted siting on anything else. Hard to believe!
Bruh....Standing would suggest something different and that is why they contemplated it. Finding a standing pharaoh statue would have been a first and then research would've been conducted as to why this pharaoh was constructed unusually. You cannot just make assumptions. This is exactly how we figure out things. We leave the idea open and look for clues as to why we need to make this guess.
Remember when they found Ramesses son? The screaming mummy was a mystery until they found out that it was Ramesses son would was complicit in the plot to assassinate him. Had they just drew the conclusion that "no member of the royal family would ever be mummified this way so it coudnt have been his son", they would've never found out what actually happened.
The expert archaeologists are wondering why Pharaoh's owned a collection of wild animals? I don't know maybe theyre previous incarnations of Michael Jackson
What happened to the rest of the story at the end? The story stops abruptly with no continuation.
Egyptians made all that stuff out of granite by shapeing the pieces because the stone was still workable like clay is to us.because of the different time period granite was still workable like clay.MINDBLOWN
23:03!!!!!!!!!! Look at the rock formations!!!!!! There are animals carved in the stone walls!!!! Then just above to the right it appears to be a dragon mask of some sort on a totem pole with two other people standing on the left one whispering in the other's ear.

I'm a huge fan of archeological discoveries and what is learned from them. However it's quite sobering to think that volcanic eruptions or climatic shifts may create a climate where my family's buried remains or those in Arlington National Cemetery will be dug up, auctioned and placed on public display. There is something to be said for the sanctity of the dead.
You yourself might end up as a fake shrink head. Food for thought.
What a bizarre thing to worry about! I get why you'd say your family's remains, but Arlington is strangely specific and exclusive. Are you saying that, as long as those two groups aren't bothered, it's fine if everyone else's corpses are sold off? You''re a bit strange.
@@TheEudaemonicPlague I never said nor implied such a thing. What is strange is that you find enjoyment in taking benign comments and attaching such erroneous and preposterous assumptions to their meaning.
@@ApocalypseModernHorseman I'm sure this was humor but I don't understand what you're attempting to communicate.
Yes,you are right about that
The narrator keeps saying the animals were caught by "pre-historic" hunters. Clearly they weren't. There is history available.
Americans are incapable of mastering the English language. They're very sensitive about "independence" and creating their own interpretation of the English language. Furthermore, their interpretation of "history" is on a timescale much less great than other societies, such as ancient histories of Britain, the middle east, South America... since modern, [dare I say white?] Americans have only been around for a couple of centuries, following British colonisation. They call Football "Soccer" and have a strangely short timescale when evaluating antiques. To be more kinder to them, Americans are still learning to understand the meaning of History and all of its sub-categories and terminology.

Do'es anyone but me think its a bit insulting. 'europeans digging up ancient egyption pharo's. its like egyptions coming to england and digging up henry 8th
Thing is.
The digging is performed and approved by the Egyptians themselves, under their supervision.

And CE.
Yes, please. And thank you for coming correct.
To have built a structure [Great Pyramid] so integral and linked to the measurements of the Earth itself, including equations such as Pi and the radius of the Earth (Core to surface length), alignment with other sites right around the planet, and then to believe that the sun God, Ra, died at sunset to be reborn in the morning... doesn't seem to make sense AT ALL.
What kind of primitive, albeit romantic and admirable, beliefs fall in line with a civilisation that knew the measurements of the Earth, even its radius, and let's not even get into the stone work of the temples, monuments and the enigmatic Pyramid, what kind of civilisation does this? It seems as though there are two time lines, or two civilisations who have either discovered each other or learned of each other in passing from one to the next.
What is really baffling, is how all of this precise perfectly learned, evaluated, tested and proven skill came about as if out of nowhere. Where are the years of development, evolution of technology? It isn't just stone that has been left behind for us to study, there are texts, personal items, legislative law and evidence of customs, ways of life, heirarchy, etc etc, but the baffling precision and grandeur, perfection of anatomical sculpture and level of construction mastery seems to have just suddenly been acquired.
Unless... it was left behind by someone or something else... that the Egyptians inherited or taken the structures, or discovered and claimed for themselves for use of their civilisation the infrastructure, scrawling graffiti all over it, making us believe that it was Egyptian in origin...
they had years of practice in sudan. but historians like to run with ridiculous theories. early Egyptian was black africans from surrounding nations
Disappointing. The intro and at least three segments are badly edited. Clips from other shows are stuck together with no additional explanation or voice-overs to help them flow. The intro actual starts in mid-sentence. That's remarkable for the Smithsonian channel.
It feels like the video starter after the program already did. Is this a part 2 of something? Also why isn't she wearing gloves while handling those artifacts?

Did I miss what volcano blew in 44 BC?
Something about pompei i guess?
a violent eruption of Etna in 44 B.C. had environmental consequences which, when recognized, help us better to understand some of the crucial historical events of this period.
Copied that from google
Also
Mount Okmok
(It didn't help that Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C., the year before the cold spell.) Scientists have long suspected that a massive volcanic eruption caused the two-year-long cold snap. And now, researchers have identified the volcano responsible: Mount Okmok on Alaska' s unmak island.

How would you break that statue into so many pieces?

quakes...
Every time I watch Egypt stuff, I think , " Why doesn't anyone plant a lot of trees there?" They obviously will and used to grow there. Maybe the desert is more appealing?
You can plant all the trees you want vut they die without water. And 10000 years ago there were trees there by the way. This is not breaking archeology in this channel. Rather old
@@shanedavison7473 Funny how people think that it doesn't rain therefore no trees, rather than , there are no trees therefore there is no rain...
Maybe they knackered their environment building these things? Also the Nile has moved considerably
@@Fuzzmo147 A lot of people think you need water before the trees, the thing is, if you plant and establish trees , they will bring the water themselves, create streams, etc...
@@MormsNorm precisely ………… take the trees……… land turns to sand………👍
So who's got a scuba suit? The Nile has to have some shrubs poking out the water that may be land growing over more statues..... We all know that the oceans and river push out relics as they move and shift. Most of these items will end up downstream. Just saying.

Does anyone know why the Egyptian mummies features look nothing like the Egyptian people of today. Also I noticed that the Egyptian belief in gods for explanation of heaven and earth are similar to the greek gods.
It’s Hinduism they copied to some degree& the Greeks copied Egypt
Paul Wallis at ''the 5th Kind''has researched this at some depth. Also, see Graham Hancock documentaries
The Egyptians mummies features look no different from the Egyptians of today.
The ancient Egyptians were not black as you hoped to be.
Buried at the same time due to carbon-14 dating of food? I've seen that accuracy, it isn't possible.
When someone was buried makes much more sense.
Hey Smithsonian, release all the giant bones you guys have covered up! We all know you have them, and you can’t hid the truth for ever 🤘🏻
How about giving it all back!
Most interesting, I'm not too sure what to make of the historians who are so eager to relay the story of what took place, as if they were present during that period, other than "imaginative"...!
The architect(s) of the Pyramid had a phenomenal knowledge of the cosmos and how best to extrapolate its power.
Where did they get all the wood to build it? The Cedars of Lebanon?
That might be what knackered their environment…………… used all the trees & didn’t re-plant…………?
It always baffles me as to how documents written 100 or more years after a secular event seem to always be held as truth ; BUT anything written with that same timeline about the Bible are often discredited…
Somewhere in under or around the pyramids is a fast library of books that were written before the deluge it's a fact people they might have already been found and they might not but they're there
