Disappearance of a 50.000 Egyptian Army | Olaf Kaper | TEDxEde 

Is this the army that is currently found at the bottom of the Red Sea? The ones that tried to kill the Jews as they escaped Egypt

@@trying3841 “currently found”? You must know something no one else does.

@@MrBcuzbcuz :: the Red Sea was low enough at this time of the season that the exodus was successful….and then flooded extinguishing the pursuers…..is this close to fact or can you clarify the event ?

Scientist... Pffff... He said Egypt is 5000 years old. It isn't.

Hero worship.

Good for you.

@letmeoff6447 you Egypt is not 5000 years old. It is much much older than that

The fact that TED lets pseudoarchaelogists like Graham Hancock conduct speeches diminishes the work of the real scientists who take time out to give these talks. Google Graham Hancock and look at his controversies and ask yourself why they would let this charlatan lecture.

Click Bait !!!

well observed but I would add that's this is about how awesome this guy thinks he is.

Cambyses did rule over Egypt too, as Pharaoh. Egypt was not absorbed into the Persian Empire, he ruled Egypt under a separate title.

this is only an "x" talk.

It had nothing to do with Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt was already a satrap (client state) of the Achaemenid Empire during this period. Cambyses II merely aspired to extend his empire by dwelling deeper into Africa's interior by trying to conquer Kush. Herodotus, a Greek historian explained this over 2,400 years ago but modern historians did not believe his story due to the lack of evidence.

Tell me English is not your native language.

@@brandonmusick77 if the message comes through does it matter... 🤔

​@MrJA Agreed, but it's quite unclear at the end & that can keep the message from coming through

Nou

It’s probably with all of the visuals we didn’t get to see in this video

@@hauntedhose LMAO saw that and I searched youtube with Cambyses lost army...still took me here though

oops replied the wrong person

thats why amazon building temples everywhere you look

DUUH.

"ghosting" is over 5.000 yrs young

@Wuotans Krieger and another 0

Lmao...

Maybe something wrong with you 🙄

What is a letter? Call? You must mean a text.

That's so good! There would be waste, Maybe the Spartans were disguised as a sandstone ???

Source's because that's not true

Actually it was 303

Haha

Spartans had not come out of their caves!!!

Your name reminds me of my young times when I would eat cinnamon by itself for my own tasting pleasure

I could be happy the rest of my life.. With a cinnamon girl. 😏

Dave Box yes i pitty the poor Guy with no content!

Vegas baby...Vegas.

No, but it was SUPPOSED TO.

Parts of Egypt were lusher than they are now. Desertification is a thing. What is your point?

have you got any references to share ?

So....the whole whole headline is a misnomer, you are right!

TEDx is different than TED.

He found out why the 50k troops were sent out. He found that those 50k did not succeed in their mission. He found where this mysterious king belonged in the history of Egypt. He helped confirm the credibility of Herodotus' recorded story.

He is Dutch.

@@princesssolace4337 What's your point exactly?

@@princesssolace4337... Lol are you referencing a stereotype we're unaware of🤣🤣

This was an absolut zero content stretched for 13 minutes! No solution, no content no findings just sitting there thinking about a surrealistisk nothing!

Bert Osterberg Excellent!

@@Mark-yb1sp except its wandered.

Did you learn anything? The person above you doesn't agree.

Bob Ski somebody knows the truth. Research Ron Wyatt for Sodom Gamoriah Research muddfosil university on you tube for the giants of renown.

Think the accurate translation was Reed River. It was a common mistranslation.

@@KalRandom No it was in the Gulf of Aqaba, an extension of the Red Sea.

Google maps Arabia. Split rock of Moses moses camp

@B B I don't understand your question Bebe tell me more about what you see

More than 5000, you deaf. Written a.k.a less speculative history is just 5000.

"more than 5000yrs"

Actually that Egyptian king was a fighter, a hero. He claimed back Egypt from the Persians.

"Battlefield waits to be excavated". We have a theory at this point.

He's an archeologist not a public speaker, we need to be excavating and digging into our history in that part of the world, he's doing important work

@@ancientbear3280 Yes! Thank you.

Per Sørlie lmao there were so many! And they did nothing but kill people and boss others around by lying about how fancy they are!

It is an Egyptian record translated by a Greek traveler about a Persian army

Exactly :) to be honest hes presentation is so bad but whoever wants to get what he means will get , his speech was delivered eventho the presentation was not so good .

Later excavations proved that the majority were executed by Turks near a small farm in a heavily wooded area near Sulva Bay in the North of the Penninsula. The Turks had their "lost regiment". They totally vanished while on routine patrol before the allied landings. This worried the Turks greatly suspecting mass desertion. Only solved many decades later when bone fragments where discovered by a shepard in a small hollow. They had all been killed by a single shot from the Battleship Queen Elisabeth when it exploded directly over their heads.

So if you had loved dinosaurs you would have become a dentist?

Steve Trueblue no a football player .... 🤦‍♂️🤣

TheDba82 iirc it’s well recorded because the Persian king who lead the army went mad due to the defeat.

Exactly!

Excellent story.Please MrEriksson, more Ted Talk video. I am fascinated and hunger for more.Thank you so much.

No, the warm, moist environment allowed them to complete their metamorphosis into a wire coathanger, which transports and appears in your cupboard.

You need a better dryer

...careful....😕

Spoiled the story nice

Yea Cyrus the greats son.

Johnson, My thoughts exactly! No evidence to back it up. I watched a Nat-Geo video about a group that did travel to an area that bronze-age bones and weapons were discovered earlier that was not more than a days journey from the armies oasis destination but they were in no condition to attack anything, sand storm or not! All the articles found dated to about the time that that army disappeared. Not proof positive but pretty close.

@@willyam9735 I wish you would elaborate more and mention a link or how to find this video. What do you mean "No condition to attack"? It sounds like that video is far more informative and useful then this TED-Talk-Theory.

he told that the king name that was mentioned in that temple was later mentioned as another king of egypt , it simply explains what happenned in that desert and to the rest of invaders ! Sooner or later the battlefield will be found , but we already know what will they find there . Archeolagical timelines are not whole projects , different people in different times will prove them with excavations . What he says is that the 50k didnt go to sky or was lost in the desert , he basically means the mystery is solved

Why?

Obviously you didn't listen to his overall theme at the end of the video XD

He works at a university with the study of Egyptiaolgy. Why not lol? History and ancient Western history is my main favorite subject.

Dont be taken by Hollywood and entertainment movies, even then at the end , you saw a million arrows killed Spartans,and Persia moved to conquer Athens, burning Persepolis was revenge of that burning, they left that part out, so no 300 men could defeat a million man ,who conquered the whole known world.

@@jamesprosper4090 bruh the comment was meant to be a joke

This isn't prehistoric. He references Herodotus repeatedly.

@Barb Mulvaney Dumbest comment today.

GreatWaterCircus my first thought

Scriptures

@@blznft9513 So who was there to witness what was written in the scriptures? What is interesting is recently a Geologist found in the desert hundred of skeletal remains... and arrow heads.

@@GreatWaterCircus i share from interest that among literature about Egypt into Arabia and ancient Mesopotamia and the Levant that the then remoter and coastal areas far out in the ancient Arabian Peninsula was a place to have very archaic POW or penal colonies ,.like Aussie was once , of peoples or ethnic groups who were defeated in old 3rd Millennium BC wars about the time of the old Akkadian Empire under its powerful kings.. A ancient city was a warring region at times . The losing side eventually exiled from the first rightful domains like home countries or spots. This even explains Australian looking natives today mixed in Arabia. Dark peoples not Arabic . They had been there long time. From prisoner of war groups anciently .. like a theory see ! These peoples split up some on boats to all over the Indian Ocean becoming Austronesians adding more people to coastal fishing cultures to places like New Guinea retreating into forests .

Also this may have taken a longer span of time and since very ancient warfare to over 4500 years ago took place around the Near and Middle East.

I wish I read your comment sooner. Thank you

The Pharos didn’t just disappear they migrated to Europe and started their secret societies and then were sent to found USA .

@@marcymathieu4463 I'm pretty sure they're hidden in sight everywhere. Also hidden away where people can't go. Under the Sea,earth and sky pal.

true. A lot of what he writes are second accounts from other people and were told orally. The stories are bound to have some embellishments. Plus the thing is, Herodotus also believes in mystical things (just like most other people back then). So he writes down things that to us are obviously false, thinking that it indeed happened.

Egyptian fight him

@@ahmadfathy7994 Correct. Cambyses fought many people.
