Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together for those of us who aren't likely to travel to such far-off destinations while going into detail about the construction and history of what you're showing us. You managed to do more teaching in 25 minutes than my history teachers did all through high school. It's truly appreciated!
your videos keep getting better and better! 💙 i love how much time and care you put into your research, and your camera person always gets such great, detailed shots. truly, these videos are the closest i can get to being there without physically going! always grateful to you and your team's hard work. ✨
@@ancientsitesgirl Irena, thanks so much for coming. I'm so blessed and extremely thankful to win your very busy attention. I apologize for being quite absent all these hours. Sorry for the lack here, the only thing that has gone wrong in my life is often with work, overwork, or other problems, often sacrificing family, or friends or substitute social life for work. I’m glad I found your RU-vid channel. I subscribed and liked all your videos. You do a good job and all your videos are well produced. Beautiful in every way. I’m going to binge watch your videos. I honestly thank you immensely for all your work and sharing it with us. Congrats. Much thanks from St. Louis, Missouri. 🇺🇸👍🦅
This incredible "city of the dead" show us that many of the ancient rulers in many different dynasties were assigned to enlarge the history of Saqqara. The view of the pharaoh Djoser inside his pyramid it was a great idea to keep the people on how his ruler never abandoned them, even in death. Thank you Irena for the great video, your friend in Key West Ingrid Holm.
Thanks, ASG, for another top-notch video. For some reason The Step Pyramid is my favorite. When I was there, thirty years ago, the interior was closed and we were limited to a very short time inside the complex. So, all of your commentary and the accompanying work of your videographer is welcome and appreciated. I keep a little jar of sand that I collected from the base of the pyramid as a memory of one of the most notable places I have visited.
Plenty of lovely and detailed information as usual...more than any other youtube chanel. And the images are original and unique, making me feel I'm right there walking along with you. Thank you very much!
Wow! I can't believe they built all of this so long ago. You always amaze me Irena. I look forward to your next visits here and I hope you get to film more and they stop prohibiting recording so many parts. I wonder what they are hiding from everybody. Thank you so much 🧡🧡🧡
thank you Mark, unfortunately it's never easy, especially in these popular ancient sites like saqqara. I'll be back there in a month, I hope the camera will withstand this heat...✌️
Irena, I am positive you're going to soar with this. You have a certain quality with this material, and I, with so many, thoroughly enjoy these essays.
I didn't say anything, but I think you're right. She's a beautiful lady, and I wish there was more visual interaction with her photographer. She REALLY IS as beautiful as the sites she films. ❤
That was such a great video! I was originally going to do one day in Saqqara but now I am definitely planning on two days in Saqqara. I also loved your Bend Pyramid video!
Thank you for sharing this. I follow Egyptian history a bit. Your videos show me things I have not seen and raise new and interesting questions in my mind.
I like the way you show the short clips of the local area and the walk into the complex. It is enough to give me a sense of the place. The excellent camera work seems to show every place I would look if I was there. The commentary is excellent, as usual. Great work.
I always look forward to viewing each and every one of this Chanel. Thanks to ASG. For bring these documentaries to us. The photography and commentary is always top class. ❤
Ms. Irena the best description I can say about this vid is Wow. So much history before history. Especially the graffiti that the Egyptians wrote 1300 years after the walls were built but still thousands of years ago from us. I am certainly glad the mystical algorithms of You Tube led me here.
If Egypt is a desert where did they source the large logs that support the infrastructure? That has always fascinated me. Is there any idea on the species of the wood?
The climate today is more arid than it was 4000+ years ago, so trees would have been more abundant then. But those large beams were probably cedar imported from what is today Lebanon.
This is a really comprehensive tour of the monument - thank you! The only thing that might improve it a little would be a map so we can progressively follow each of the places in the complex you are showing us.
The abilities to construct from reeds leather and cedar to stone at such quality and quantities is stagering the culture imortalized in stone certainly endures the reference of the romans reinforcement maintenance of the complex and id imagine over the prior centuries to the present is testament of how important we as humanity hold history you are truly remarkable to bringing history to life
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it very hot in Egypt when you’re there? I see you wearing pants and a black sweater and I always assumed that clothes like that would be way too hot to wear in Egypt? I’m hoping to go there one day and always curious how the weather will be. I would much prefer not to be there when it’s oppressively hot but not sure when the best time to go is. Thanks for the video, Saquarra gets less attention than it deserves from modern archaeologists and from people on RU-vid, so I loved watching this. Keep doing what you’re doing I always enjoy these videos.
Thank you! The weather in summer is unbearable but from ~November till April it's less than 30°C. I usually travel in February/March and it's ~20-27°C in Cairo. :)
@@ancientsitesgirl Thank you so much for the reply and advice, you’re very kind. I will definitely keep that in mind when I plan my own excursion there
Awesome video! Ever think about doing an episode on Psusennes I? If im not mistaken his has been the only untouched tomb when found. The day before WW2 started if I'm not mistaken
