Here in India, we have a chapter in NCERT English Prose: Discovering Tut, the saga continues.
I was thinking about the same.
i was thinking the same thing!
Class 11 Hornbill 😃
Yeah.....that's why iam watching it
Well that was something 🧞
In 1978 I saw the King Tut exhibit in New York. It was breathtaking.The tour guide said they found wine and fruitcake that was so well preserved that it was still edible.The ancient Egyptians were so advanced in every way.
Nice to hear someone else saw the highlight life exibit. I saw it in New Orleans , as a teenager..We Raised money at School to go on the School buses . Yes , it was Breath Taking, and highlight of my life..
Is the cake and wine available on EBAY ?🧐
Imagine people from New York turning up at the museum in Egypt to be told half the stuff is out on tour , in New York! 😳
I saw the king tut exhibit in Melbourne 10 years ago, it was so incredible
my friend i would love to experience that
I saw his gold funeral mask, in the Museum of Antiquities, in Cairo; in October of this year; as well as his dagger, a lot of jewelry and other things. The level of fine detailing and intricacies that went into making these things, is astounding. I knew I'd be impressed by the large pieces but the beauty of the smaller items, made tears come to my eyes. There were golden harness buckles that had metalwork so fine, it was like lace. The artisans who created these things were superb craftsmen.
You are correct, I was astounded when I saw the Mask, dagger, coffin and other artifacts at the museum in September this year.
My bad, stupid me i thought the archeologists took these things.
I’m jealous!!! How cool!!!!!!
I went there twice , both times from Cyprus when on holiday there. If they still do those day trips via flight or the 24 hr cruises there from Cyprus , i 100% recommend doing it , should anyone happen to be in Cyprus who hadn’t ever planned on visiting Egypt direct. Aside from visiting the pyramids, as you’ve mentioned , the museum is brilliant. To see Tuts gold mask and many other things , amazing!. I got such a buzz standing up close to it and seeing it with my own eyes. And I’m not usually a museum kinda guy either!
จะยี่งใหญ่แค่ใหน....สุดท้ายที่ที้งไว้ให้ดู...ให้รู้ว่าไม่มีใครพ้นจากความตายพุื่งสงวรจ้า
Am I the only one who believes the archaeologists were also tomb robbers?
The Egyptians were fixated on eternal life and carefully planned their resting places. It is sacrilege to disturb them so casually.
True
That’s because they are im sure king tut family didn’t think they were going be dug up 100s of years later and treated like they weren’t even human beings
Girl what
Never thought of it that way
Except it's not for the purpose of "robbery"
This is so beautiful. I got goosebumps looking at the mummy revealed. Thank you for continuing to tell this story and adding more information and details.
Mary Wyatt's Book: Battle for the Firstborn
Ikr! this is so amazing just seeing something and someone being put in a tomb by some people thousands of years ago? I dunno, I can't really describe what I'm feeling rn but it sure makes me wonder.
@@ayanokoji715 Its the feeling that u want fo back in time for that 1 day to see glory of egypt and him how he rules and builts pyramids and other stuff..Makes me wonder so hard how that looked like!! We will mever know 100%..NEVER.
As of this writing, the gold price per ounce is $1,866.
Since there are 12 troy ounces in a troy pound, gold is selling at approximately $22,392 per pound ($1,866 x 12).
The total amount of gold found in King Tut's tomb was 1200 kg. (or 2,645.547 pounds.)
Inside the innermost coffin laid King Tut's mummified remains clad with a golden death mask in the Kings likeness.
The mask sits 1.8 feet tall and contains a total of 321.5 troy ounces of gold.
This gives it a value of over a half a million dollars in _just_ its weight in gold.
The total amount of gold, (1200 kg. or 2645.547 pounds,)at, $22,392 per pound means that; in today's market, the _total_ amount of just the gold discovered inside of King Tut's tomb would fetch a price upwards of $59,239,088.42.
(In case you ever wondered. ✌)
I have wondered, thanks.
I have solid gold balls
@@LittleWhiskey lol
Just keep it easy and use metrics system ponds stones Armes and feets are over
most useful comment I've ever read, thank you 💕
A hundred years after he's tomb was discovered ,and yet it still fascinates, I love Egyptian art, It's incredible how they made king Tut's death mask, the artistic precision and detail is just staggering.
ill love to hear see more of this The tomb of Yuya and Thuya, also known by its tomb number KV46, is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian noble Yuya and his wife Thuya Tutankhamun King Tut lol
I’m so intrigued by the Egyptians. Watching this gave me goosebumps. Unbelievable discovery.
🙏🏽🙏🏽IKR!! I get a chill and then I want to cry at the mystique and beauty. Just AMAZING!! And honestly researchers only know maybe 1/4 of it. And due to climate change destruction and erosion things are starting to deteriorate so that sadly our modern world may never know it all. Personally, I think it was purposely designed to be like that🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽We never will
Breathtaking Egypt 👑
Love & Respect from India 🙏🏻
In India we have a chapter in our class 11 English literature book about this whole extract . Love Egyptian history a lot ❤️🙏🏻
Discovering tut:the saga continues 😹🙌
Here's another CBSE 11th Grader 😊
Yeah that interesting ch... 🙃
By the way are you Hindu and if so , may you have a peaceful beautiful Diwali , my friend .
Yes and I'm watching this coz I've exam tomorrow
Nice job. imagine being living well in your comfortable afterlife and then some pasty, bald angols come along and rip you back from bliss.
For real so disrespectful I hope they never find Cleopatra and Anthony burial place 🙌🏻
@@Sargy18MPBDE u don't have to dig every Pharoah to know that by now They digged royalty commoners nobles young old it's just disgration for their graves just to satisfy ur curiosity and they still doing it
@@earth_angel2750 I believe it is so degrading. You as a human being have to think, would you like your body or your ancestors to be dug up and displayed in museums, to generate money? I definitely wouldn't!
@@aishaomar2695 exactly !! even the dead are not safe :(
@@mikko3 Learn history on someone else's body, then allow yre great grandfathers bodies to be displayed like animals, disgusting !!!
It’s crazy how they just dig up a kings tomb and his jewel like yeah that’s totally okay
He’s been dead 3000 years.. nobody will have a problem with it. It is history
@@-metaknight-1135 Dig it up and save it from the Black market, or leave it for the constant grave robbers so it gets into private collections. This is the right thing to do today in order to preserve the history.
When it was discovered people believed that their was a curse on the tomb and people suddenly died
It’s for history. You would of never been able to marvel at it if it wasn’t dug up
Are you gonna cry about it or what ?
My family went to the King Tut exhibit in Toronto in 1979. Seeing it as a 9 year old child impacted my entire life
It's all fake.
@@ahmed-ed4sdShut up ☺️
How do you know?
To be able to capture the first facial reactions of the archeologists as the tomb was opened. Now this would also be a treasure. 💎👑📿💍
(Thanks for this surreal share.)
I keep saying that. Once they saw that tomb and opened that coffin, They probably felt like insects in a world that was far greater than they'd known
You mean tomb raiders? 😉
Bro come on those weren't even that scary since it is so old and dried up, but ofc if you open a body that was buried a month ago, you might be scared
Look at that tomb... So beautiful..
King Tut has always fascinated me, all of Egyptian history has. Thank you
God curse 😡
Brilliantly shown, thank you for the in-depth look into the Tomb of King Tutankhamun 🙏🏽 NatGeo ❤
What amazes me is the notion of present-day Egyptians thinking that they are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians.
Ancient Egyptians DNA matches the coptic people of egypt not the arab Egyptians..
@@originsandcivilizations3983 No the current people are migrants. They have no connections with ancient people.
@@mastertrump6747 True.
They're just settlers and invaders from the Middle East. They're not indigenous and original Africans.
I almost laughed when she said it's proof that they are The Descendants despite history saying otherwise
It's amazing how much detail was put in making this coffin you can even see the Holes in the ears meaning that the young king had his ears pierced at one point in his life..
Seriously the way national geographic represent history it's just awesome
Ancient Civilazition is amazing. The earth must have been in its purest and healthiest form back then. Considering global warming never existed before the deserts and islands must have had beautiful, clear, and clean bodies of water.
We have had many cold and global warming events natural or unnatural
Mass volcano chains have gone off many times them events change weathers and so on lol
ill love to hear see more of this The tomb of Yuya and Thuya, also known by its tomb number KV46, is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian noble Yuya and his wife Thuya Tutankhamun King Tut lol
The Egyptian name for Thebes was wꜣs.t, "City of the wꜣs", the sceptre of the pharaohs, a long staff with an animal's head and a forked base. From the end of the New Kingdom, Thebes was known in Egyptian as njw.t-jmn, the "City of Amun", the chief of the Theban Triad of deities whose other members were Mut and Khonsu. This name of Thebes appears in the Tanakh as the "Nōʼ ʼĀmôn" (נא אמון) in the Book of Nahum[5] and also as "No" (נא) mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel[6] and Jeremiah.[7][8]
"Thebes" is sometimes claimed to be the Latinised form of Ancient Greek: Θῆβαι, the hellenized form of Demotic Egyptian tꜣ jpt ("the temple"), referring to jpt-swt; the temple is now known by its Arabic name, Karnak ("fortified village"), on the northeast bank of the city. Since Homer refers to the metropolis by this name, and since Demotic script did not appear until a later date, the etymology is doubtful. As early as Homer's Iliad,[9] the Greeks distinguished the Egyptian Thebes as "Thebes of the Hundred Gates" (Θῆβαι ἑκατόμπυλοι, Thēbai hekatómpyloi) or "Hundred-Gated Thebes", as opposed to the "Thebes of the Seven Gates" (Θῆβαι ἑπτάπυλοι, Thēbai heptápyloi) in Boeotia, Greece.[n 1]
In the interpretatio graeca, Amun was rendered as Zeus Ammon. The name was therefore translated into Greek as Diospolis, "City of Zeus".
The coloured photos of tutankhamuns tomb look quite amazing
In 2011 I went to his exhibition in Melbourne called, Tutankhamun and the golden age of the Pharaohs, ❤️ I went to Egypt in 2019 and seen Tutankhamuns golden mask and his tomb, lucky enough it reopened to the public one month before I arrived so I got to see him after it was closed for over 10 years of restoration, I was meant to go when I did. And I'm glad I did.
@Nikki Lauren thanks 😊 appreciate it 🌸
So it's closed for over 10 years now?? Well from 2019 to 2029?? I thought it was still open to see now
WOW!! I can only imagine. Just talking about it and researching it takes my breath away
@@BigZoe99 reread carefully?!
U and ur family now cursed by God 😡
The color shots are impressive.
I was fortunate enough to see the exibit as a teenager in New Orleans. One of the most exquisite highlights of my life. In my 50s now , it's still breath Taking to See and Remember.
God cursed her 😡
Just try to imagine what one of the major Pharaoh's tombs might have contained had thieves not found and robbed them. Hopefully another will be found.
the problem is that every civilization come to decline in at a certain point in history we have declined badly after the pharohs and been through many many invasions that looted and stole our monuments and of course thieves only care about themselves whether they are egyptians or foriegners
@@ahmedabdelsatar1562 you are correct. Sad
Currently in Cairo overlooking the pyramids as I write this. I saw Kings Tuts Tom's in Kings Valley and today his coffin and treasure at the museum in Cairo... Amazing
Lucky you are!!
Amazing
Such a privilege to be the first to see this in person tho 🤞 💯 🏁
Great civilisations with their great wonders!
A Tomb complex like this is what we should've done when my grandpa and father passed
Ok Kimmy
Always good to see you looking well.
Yes SUPREME leader😂
Even if it could be duplicated today which would be extremely difficult and material/ labor intensive.
To the point of being impossible the costs would be staggering and even then pale to the original.
Amazing craftsmanship in funerary arts. Highly symbolic and never intended to be seen by human eyes again.
I wish I can time travel to those times and see Tut alive 🧐
My professor said that he looked disfigured and was sickly due to inbreeding. He only ruled for two years too cause he was a weak child.
🤓
Dont be so stupid, youd need a DeLorean time machine to do that🤣
🤨📸
And the Egyptian will kill you
Ancient Egyptians👑 were soo wise. I can watch these programs all day long.🌞
Wow, this is incredible! Thanks for sharing 😎👍✨
Imagine if they’d of found Ramses tomb untouched?
The zionists wouldnt be happy about that, they dont want their lies to be uncovered
@@ashiinsane90 what is a Zionist?
they did find his body in 1881 ., Ramses died in the sea by drowning but still lives as a mummy by gods will. Located in Egypt or some Museume
@@abdulawan7357 The king who persecuted the jews its not Ramses check your facts
@@astralenlightenment1743 An "esoteric Judaist". One that follows Jewish principles to the extreme, and once you see what their literature has to say about non Jews and how they are to be treated, you'll see the problem with that.
Our archeology teacher in university says that the coffin's are buried too deep and too secured are not just it has a lot of golds/diamonds etc. Most of them contain unknown diseases.
Truly remarkable discovery!👍
19…. I never knew he died THIS young.
I mean… yes, the mask makes him look maybe mid 20s or so….. but that he actually died so young ….. 😔
Google King Tut
Don't cry
Probably from covid...
So the mask isn't always represent the face of the person whose burried?
*Sorry for grammar mistake
Living upto 19 back then was something good,reaching 30s and 40s was incredible
So many coffins it did not want to be opened. The utmost highest level of respect, Giving you a chance to turn back each time, But I must say, It is fascinating to see the decorations inlaid on these golden human like coffins, Truly magnificent!
Muito bom!! 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing craftmanship
Crazy!! Fascinating!!
Decorations were presentable and very Colorful to those Ancient Times. - Egypt
amazing🙏🏻👍

God curse u to be doomed by sea water 🌊😡
It's absolutely beautiful
Yes.. that's what I keep repeating " Absolutely Beautiful" 👍🏼💖
To come across something like this as it was left thousands of years ago…speechless
Nefertiti will definitely kill you 😡🌊
I was astonished during my visit to see the King Tut's Treasures exhibition.
Imagine if there were no ancient grave robbers in the world. Imagine if location of pharaohs' tombs were kept strictly in secret in a secluded areas. Imagine if those items weren't destined to crumble when they were to be transported to their safekeeping place.
Thousands of thousand of priceless artifacts could be uncovered. We probably could fit a small-ish Egyptian exhibits in every museum in the world if we could.
There's a huge irony in your comment.
Tutancamon was only a ordinary pharaoh, and because of his chamber and treasure became the most famous pharaoh. Imagine if the biggest pharaohs like Ramses, queops and others pharaohs chamber didn't have been robbed. The treasures we should discover....
Supposedly King Tut's tomb was robbed twice in antiquity, but most of the tomb remained intact.
Those other Pharaoh’s gold masks didn’t disappear either. They’re secretly owned by the Freemasons and others.
How do they rob those tombs I don't understand without being noticed
@@manqobamkhwanazi1956bro it was 800bc 💀💀💀 like of course they didn’t see shiii
@@Fin3sse I thought the tombs were guarded
Literally amazing.
I am proud to say or just happy to say that my mother took me to go see this when I was a little kid I was so amazed amazed at what I saw
Amazing 💯
Is there a reason they are considered under the term Mummy versus the concept they are simply digging up graves?
Mummification was only bestowed on the Pharaohs and other important individuals. Yes it still is only digging up graves/tombs but they are also digging up a lot of ancient history and knowledge.
Color gave it more impact. Thanks.
Wow, personally I absolutely love Tutankhamun! The Ancient Egyptians are so intresting!!
His voice got me hooked, and it ended, he ever thought about trying to sell beer lol
I've read about how the jumbled objects and small tomb was due to King Tut's expected passing at a young age, but I wonder how did they have enough time to make such elaborate coffins and the gold mask if the funeral was indeed rushed? Could it be that the items outside the burial chamber were shrewn all over the place by the ancient robbers known to have breached the site?
Gold and wood are easy carvable/malleable materials. Creating a whole burial chamber, painting it, and arranging it with all the gifts would have been the real time consuming process.
maybe they were pre-made
They reckon the mask was altered, the back says that according to experts and his coffin the paint was rushed you can see with the running marks of paint etc
Some of the items previously belonged to his father, Akhenaten. like the throne which still had Aten as the main deity.
Funerals may have been rushed, but the mummification takes a long time. Pharoahs weren't allowed to be entombed until everything was perfect for the afterlife
Fascination ❤️❤️
Extraordinary !! 🌹
Today, Egypt is still being ruled by outsiders, like it has been for 200 years at least.
who are these outsiders president Sisi is an egyptian
Ruled by outsiders for the last 2500 years; from the Persians and Assyrians, to the Ptolemies and Macedonians, to the Romans, to the Arabs, to the Mamelukes and Turks, to the French and English.
All of these invasions and colonizations occurred AFTER the fall of a 3500-year dynastic Kemetic civilization, and a probably longer pre-dynastic Kemetic civilization.
These outsiders had nothing to do with Kemet except the demise of its indigenous population.
I appreciate history and all but we still have to respect the body of those people who passed away
How was this disrespectful?
@@earthangel8730digging his grave without his consent
Thanks to Respected NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
The energy is very incredible
We are here because of simran sahani
😊😊
Imagine being a labor worker giving workers water time to time while excavation of the grave and then u suddenly discover the greatest discovery of all time and then someone else takes credit for it
I feel bad for that waterboy who discovered that staircase
Ancient royalty. Fascinating
I love this history great history
I hope they didn't take anything from, A young King should always be there in Egypt where he was born and bury. Never taken out of the country.
Canarvon wanted to take some of the contents back to England for his collection as he had bought the concession to excavate. Theodore Davis who gave up the concession feeling the Valley was worked out, sent material back to America for investigation from earlier finds of Tut-ankh-amun material (some sealed jars with the king's cartouche). Howard Carter, who was much more in tune with Egyptian sensitivities and had even learnt to speak Coptic to be able to converse directly with his workmen, insisted the entire tomb must be kept in Egypt. The king's body still lies in his sarcophagus in the Valley.
You think Egyptians can let that happen? Not in a million years I bet.
@@albertpuppymaster671
Yes in these days we are working hard to return our robbed Artifacts like Nefertiti bust And others hopefully we will return as much as we can
Putting Carters' famous discovery aside. The real takeaway here was that this find heralded the arrival of true science-based archeology. Carter meticulously cataloged and studied the find as opposed to simply emptying the tomb as some might have done. He spent years systematically going through each item and documenting it prior to its removal from the tomb. It was years after its discovery before he even got to studying the sarcophagus.
This is beautiful
Shows a lot of creativity
Ancient Egypt is amazing👍
Can you even imagine this happening OMG! Years ago I read the most wonderful novel by Allen Drury called A God Against the Gods about Akenaten and Nefertiti, one of my all time favorite books! I’m going to Cairo in February for a 12 day trip including a Nike cruise and I just can’t wait.
🙏🏽🖤Safe, blessed travels. I would love to hear about it
They were great artists!
The artwork is amazing
King Tut was truly the first "Russian Nesting Doll".
🤣
You’re degrading it by comparing it to a toy.
💜
Instead he's an African nesting doll
You are the best
Seeing a king is excellent.
Thanks for this knowledge
"Carter" and "Carefully" don't go well with each other..
He in order to open that ruined it all the way breaking it ruthlessly with shivel..
Dude nat geo 2 years back you were the one telling that "Howard Carter's expedition ruined the mummy more than it revealed!" 🤔
The museum in Cairo where these artefacts are held is absolutely stunning. The Tutankhamun section is utterly without parallel....the most beautiful and breath-taking antiquities on the planet. Just make sure that the masks etc will be there before you go because they travel the world on tours and exhibitions. One of the things that struck me when I visited was that I was looking at African artefacts...the Pyramids were constructed by Africans, ancient Egyptians were a truly African people. Detach yourself from the current Arabic immigrant population that is modern Egypt and go back in time to ancient North Africa....
@@mikko3 That makes zero sense since ancient Egyptians were besides Egyptian also African.
Detach the Ancient Egyptians from your Afrocentric crab first
The Ancient Egyptians aren’t black Africans they never described Africa ,
2- Modern Day Egyptians are the descendants of Ancient Egyptians they aren’t Arabs just for speaking Arabic and being Muslims
They aren’t immigrants
just got back from 2 weeks in egypt saw the tut exhibit at cairo museum it was mind blowing
What a nice piece of art..... So beautiful... Mask
I just sense that the ancient Egyptians was magical. It was more than just stones and preserving etc. It was mysticism etc the ancient Egyptians seemed very in tune and psychic mystical.
I love the fact that they're discovering all good this but unbalancing nature comes with consequences
literally I love learning about Ancient Egypt but they need to leave these people alone.. like you said consequences are so resly
*real
No one should be disturbed after they are put to rest. Sad.
Thank you ✨
I'm here after our English chapter "discovering tut : the saga continues " of grade 11 , couldn't hold my curiosity to know more n more about it ...

So much details on those coffins
Rob, steal and damage... This is the stroy of paryamids. They preserved well for centuries but these archeologist damage their tombs
Sooooo, did they steal all of those priceless African artifacts then replace them with imposter pieces in order to pad some English museum? 🤔🤔🤔🤔Curious.
Those priceless African artifacts were stolen by other Africans for thousands of years and never found. The ones "stolen" by the westerners are the only artifacts you are able to still still see and admire.
@@sweetLemonist of course the old African's did it to their selves Theory !!!
@@mariealexandria603 bruh chill
@@mariealexandria603 - it's more of a probability than theory. But if you have any proof or just plain evidence that Africans (that would include Egyptians since Egypt is in Africa, in case you were unaware) didn't loot most of the tombs then let's hear it. By the way, what does this have to do with the civil war?
Aint no telling, they stole everything from KEMET ( EGYPT-GREEK) " The Nation of the Blacks".
Thanks my friends for sharing much love God bless 👍
Absolutely magnificent
it's shame that the other tomb is robbed.
Dont you think this was also a robbery
Also why would they open it ? It was not sealed to be opened also if they did for research why would they take one county’s heritage n treasures to some other country
