Dang. You crushed this one, man. Phenomenal job.
Thanks man! I'm obsessed with Ancient Egypt recently. It was a lot of fun
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop be sure to check out Assassin´s Creed Origins. It´s great for immersion, and has a learning mode. Cheers.
@@pedroalves6425 my wife plays it! Its a cool game
Im an archaeology student and specialise in Egypt, I'm genuinely so impressed by the effort and research you put into this! Well done!
The sandstone texture looks so good! Mind-blowing techniques in this one.
Eggyept
4:49 OH MY GOD you're a genius! Thank you for sharing this with us!
This is one of your best builds and EASILY your best video. Fantastic job man, hope you are really proud of this one. Stone looks so good.
Thanks man i really appreciate that! I am proud of it
As an Egyptian following you from the start of this channel, i am very happy with this project.
This is a masterpiece. It is a very inspiring and very beautiful. This video deserves millions of views like and support.
Wish to see you making Taj Mahal, Chichen Itza, Angkor Wat, Forbidden City in Beijing China etc
Thanks Saad! Very kind! More historical projects are coming
I CAN read hieroglyphs and Hieratic--I teach Classical languages--and you did an excellent job of drawing them! Every glyph is legible. :D
Salve, invideo scienta linguarum tua. Fortasse praeter lingua latina graecaque usque ad lingua aegyptiorum die futura pergam. Vale.
If anyone is curious, the movies I used clips from are The Ten Commandments and Land of the Pharaohs. And a short clip of Gods of Egypt lol
"So let it be written; so let it be done." =^[.]^=
Ever run across a 19th C Scottish painter named David Roberts? He toured Egypt and the Near East and painted the ruins just emerging from Egypt’s sand.

@@readhistory2023 yes, i love his work. The half submerged in sand aesthetic is my favourite
Wish you had used more clips that show the real people of the region and not the whitewashed Hollywood versions. But awesome build.
Hate to tell you this, that printer is not a SLA printer, it's an FDM printer.
that rock though man 11/10
Thanks Emil!
I'm so flashed of this 4:25 and this 5:03 and this 5:40 - aaand tilt...
i love everything about this video. all of this Work are absolute mindblowing hacks for me! 👏🤯
My mind just kept going back and forth between thinking I was watching a diorama video and thinking I was watching a documentary on ancient Egypt.
Man, I was watching this while focusing on some grading and I was answering points before you'd say them. Such as, when you were mentioning the cartouche, I said "It's called a cartouche." when you were describing its shapes. Gotta say; you did your research well. I'm a history teacher and if I had it within my schedule this semester I'd love to do a project like this with my students and use your video as an inspiration to get started. This is fantastic! I rewatched it after I finished it to pay closer attention to your hard efforts. Well done, as always!
This comment makes me smile! I’m glad i got some things right :)
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop You sure did! I'd love to see you take a jab at other ancient themes. Your hieroglyphics were really clean, too. Usually, hieroglyphics are read right to left, top to bottom - however, the language can be written both directions. The figures face the direction in which it is written, which yours did! Awesome stuff, man!
@@LucJenson yeah i had no interest in trying to write right to left (worried i would smudge, etc) but i kept my birds facing left !
You might also want to look at Black Magic Craft - Jeremy did an Egyptian themed build (not as historically accurate, but a bit quicker and more modular. Might fit better into a school schedule, th-cam.com/video/b29bItTwt_k/w-d-xo.html
@@uriance88 i love Jeremy’s stuff, mans a legend.
What an absolutely fantastic method of creating sedimentary rock!
That sandstone texture is fantastic, the heat gun is a stroke of genius man!
As a student of Egyptology, I can safely say you should be on the museum staff!
Yes, that is really awesome..... makes me want to do a On30 porter train layout through the desert ! maybe someday in the Philippines whan I have the time and nothing to do and take all of my unused on30 trains there from California !
Finally someone doing something ancient Egyptian....I was drawn to it as a child and so grateful to visit it
My favorite period of time! You nailed the look of an ancient Egyptian monument! The effect you got on the rocks is awesome.
You write better than the ancient Egyptians!😲👏👏👏
Just WOW. The job you did with the stone, making it look rough... it is madness! And thank you for the little history lesson you introduced in the video. You did a really enjoyable video to watch!
Really inspired stone work. I, too, love the Egyptian history. This is awesome.
Absolutely love the history lesson
I'm glad! Stuff like that is so interesting to me
The method to create the sandstone texture is brilliant, because it is soo simple yet effective.
all the talk of ancient Egypt on your streams has gotten me excited for this one
Same haha
DUDE! You absolutely NAILED the sandstone cliff faces!
Whoa... this is one of my all-time favorite videos. Lessons in hieroglyphics and then your cheeky translator app - you're too interesting! Your videos are addictive.
I frequently referenced the hot wire cut XPS foam around 4:25 while designing and sculpting the Methedori rocks and cliffs for Moonbreaker. you can see them in context on Methedori Cliffs and Landing Pad. really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos showcasing your workflow!
Good job mate, loved the history lessons. you are the sandstone king btw.
My next iteration of crafting sandstone will involve hundreds of tons of sediment and millions of years of pressure
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop That sounds like a 30 year mortgage.
Those rocks look incredible
Ты делаешь круче с каждым разом. Я уважаю и люблю твои работы.
5:03 that part was genius, I was genuinely impressed
Great build. I like that you translated real text int hieroglyphics instead of just a bunch of made up characters.
Eric, you are awesome. A true Master of terrain building. Beautiful piece that looks realistic. I hope that the Pharoh has lots of treasure and maybe some pets, servants or bodyguards who remained to travel with him into the afterlife.
I was looking for a method to create the Egyptian walls from the fifth element movie where the Mondoshiwan get the gun. I had thought of 3D printing or or or ... but your idea is soooo simple and good at the same time! Thanks very much!
the eroded-heat-gun-foam-sediment-sandstone work is something else! really nice!
Love your Egyptian tomb! I've been fascinated by Egypt most of my life, so this build is right up my alley!
Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that looks amazing!
All modern Egyptologist should thank God that there was the Hellenic part on the Rosetta Stone because that gave the the ability to understand hieroglyphs and being able to read them nowadays!
Totally amazing. I love how you work out the rock facing. It looks very realistic.
Amazing work on the sandstone. I love that technique, never seen it used anywhere else. I'll have to use it myself.
holy moly you saved me a lot of time in the futre. i am curenty working on some sediment stone terain for my 40k table. i also started by cuting horizontal lines in the foam, but then like a foll i chip away small bits of foam with a screwdriver and it has taken my so many hours up to this point of time that i paused the projeck allready several times. From now on i will use your method. thanks eric
This is one of your best builds and I love the hieroglyphs
This was like watching a magician for the first time. My jaw dropped with your rock strata technique.
Wow,true artistry.I find ancient Egypt very interesting so when I came across your video I had to check it out.Truely creative,nice job.Thanx for posting!!!
Man I don't know how I missed this one but just seeing how you made the rocky cliff face now blew my mind.
Long live Eric Hotep II. This vid is amazing, I'm off to wikipedia for the evening now! :-)
As someone who is always been fascinated with agent Egypt and whose personal hero is Zahi Hawass, I think this looks amazing! I can't wait for the next installment.
Your attention to detail on how the tombs would be constructed was appreciated! The rock textures came out very well one of the best builds I've seen in this theme.
Love me some Egyptian lore along with my hobby time 💪🏼 very dope video
It looks really good. I especially liked the hieroglyphs, that really added a nice touch.
Brilliant work. Your techniques are more effective than any others i've seen. Thanks for sharing them!
Eric, definitely one of your best builds. Absolutely fantastic!! I also think this is my new favourite for your channel! Can't wait to see you construction of the interior!
I love all the positivity being put out there in the comments!
As a fellow fan of ancient Egypt, this was a real treat. Looking forward to the tomb.
Love to see a history build. This might be my favorite build on TH-cam in a long time. Thanks for this Erik.
First; just let me congratulate you on a really nice build! Then allow me to express my awe at that great rock carving technique: WOW! Really a fantastic build man. I look forward to the interior!
Wicked cool project! Translating your own messages into hieroglyphics was like a nice cherry on top
I particularly liked the Caesar Miniatures Egyptian archers, there is not enough love for 1/72nd scale in hobby videos. Also props from your hieroglyphs - that is a genuine skill!
Just Discovered you-- Amazing, and I love that you actually give true ancient history as you go-- I love It
I recently started building table top terrain, about 6 months ago and man your skills blows me away! I've learned a LOT from watching your videos, like cutting individual bricks and gluing them onto my building's for example. Thanks for all your work and I look forward to seeing more.
I also thought to add some runes to one of my builds and looked up ancient druid runes but I hand painted them on, not nearly to the extent that you did hear lol but it definitely added a bit to the build. I'm definitely going to give that pen a try.
Thanks again!
I love the amount of research you do for these videos
Thanks! I try to balance realism with a sense of adventure and fantasy
Wow! This is really cool! Maybe in the future you could do a Ancient Egyptian Temple, and then do Egyptian Temple in the modern times. Because Kemetism, is on the raise. Its the revival of ancient Egyptian religion.
That cliff texture is crazy good. Will be using it!
My favorite one yet. I love history so the back story really added to the enjoyment. Thanks
Dude that rock face foam cutting tekkers is awesome. Thanks for that.
I swear, if you look really close at the entrance and listen very carefully, you can hear someone in the back of the tomb shout, "Iziz!! Light!"...
Dear Eric - OUTSTANDING!
I've noticed you like to do research into the cultures you're creating scenery for. So I always learn something new. Those canyons would make for a great western themed canyon or something. Excellent work as always.
I really like your technique for creating layers of strata. Side by side with reference images you nailed the look.
Awesome! This model and theme of Egypt is so brilliant that I instantly subscribed! Thanks so much thouroghly enjoyed this. Please do more on Egypt please ❤🙏
2 fun facts about this video :
1 - Abu Simbel was taken apart and moved in '60
2 - scenes used in this video are from movie Faraon which was also done in '60 and was one of biggest polish costume movies ;D
Magnificent job as allways Eric
I haven’t seen that film, but i will have to check it out! Clips in this one are from Land of the Pharaohs (1955) and The Ten Commandments (1956)
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop i don't recommend this movies to you.., it got nothing to do with Egypt , it haven't been made in Egypt even ... every thing about it is fake , so far your work is more Egyptian than those movies ..... you did a great job
You 're so good at this game... This project (as many others of yours) breathes with passion. I find the final result stunning and can't wait to see what you will do whith the inside of the tomb! Cheers Eric!
It looks amazing. The best part came as I was imagining different ways for how you would print the hieroglyphics and combine them with the piece - then you hand drew them. Damn. Lots of good advice in this video too.
Your absolute dedication to the sand meme is inspirational.
Your brick method is AMAZING !!!! time saver !!!!
That cliff technique rocks. Good job, totally snagging this one. Thanks!
Those hieroglyphs are toight!! So well done. And the colour on the rocks superb. And the technique? Chefs kiss. Really awesome looking build (even though it isnt Necromunda inspired, lol). Loving it and cant wait to see what you do with the Tomb!
Who knows what is buried in the depths of the hive...
I have been musing today to kitbash a "tomb king" army and I had three videos in my subscription related to Ancient Egypt. Curious coincidence. Your sandstone texturing method looks great!
Are you kidding me? That stone texture is perfect!
wow, that sandstone facede... so impressive.
Watching this was well worth it for the sandstone technique alone!
I have my first full table commish for a 40K table and I’m absolutely using your rock technique. Thanks and cheers!
Outstanding job on that Tomp. It looks great!
The texture method is so impressive, definitely will use it in future!
Ur video came up on my recommendations, loved the way you created texture on the rocks. I wanted to mention youcan by jacquard. It’s a refillable spray can, so you can use any paint in there, I only use watercolor and alcohol ink. No aerosol, you use an bike pump to remove air and that pressurizes it.
This is only SPECTACULAR!!! Great and wonderfull Job
Wow! That's for sure amazing! I specially like your sandstone texturing method.
Amazing work Eric. Your rock technique is superb AND inspirational...
What an amazing video! Loved the final look, very clever indeed :)
I know it's getting a bit close to "invading your private space" category, but I would love a video, where you show how you store, and organize your collection of builds. They all look fantastic, and awesome, but many times huuuuuuge too! :)
Awesome job Dude , I can’t wait for the interior video.
Thanks for sharing this.
Bro! This is INSANELY creative and well done!
You really took my brain out for this one man
Fantastic! This made me remember that I'm still really sad that GW seems to have forgotten about the Tomb Kings.
Very cool you're expanding into other areas! AWESOME
Big brain move with the stone texture!
This is just amazing!!! Love Egyptian staff!
Now this is just the content I needed to brighten this otherwise gloomy and sleepy day. Excelent work, and very inspiring. I'm a fan of ancient civs and their ruins as well, during my teen days, when fascination with drawing pseudo-DnD maps came to our school community, I loved to draw maps of ancient tombs and ruined cities (not to mention this was a one of the starter points of forming my own afterlife philosophy), and I think it is not a bad idea to return to that in current phase of my life, so thank you for inspiration, and looking forward for interior-making video.
Also, you mentioned an interesting part of Egyptian mythology - I didn't know until now that Horus and Set eventually reconciled, I thought they remained eternal enemies. This proves that most of mythologies were not at all unified and there was no such thing as "canon", and many different groups or even individuals of same culture had their distincive views of many aspects of their mythology (in case of Egyptian mythology, I find most diversity in case of fate of those unfortunate enough to have their hearts devoured by Ammut during last judgement - personally, I'm big fan of "reincarnation" theory).
All hail to pharaoh Erichothep the Builder!
woooow, that texture is amazing. You did really come put with a creative technique :O
This looks amazing man. I like imagining this painted in black and green and looking like the entrance to a necron tomb.
Could certainly work!
I love the rock texture, looks awesome.
