I don’t agree with some of the jobs that Archeo’s do but I hope you land the job! :)

@@ssterlingdve why is that?

goodluck

@@samrobles471 it has to do with death wishes,no one digs up a graves now do they. so ig it’s just an opinion

Good luck!

Soooo true... Have you traveled there yett??

Have you paid attention to the comments or do you just believe Communist Propaganda as soon as you see it!

Look up Egyptomane and see if it applies to you.

Myself also. But it's also awesome that little by little the truth is coming out

@@samanthalake4289 Hear hear. Hooah!

There is also the suggestion that the objects belonged to his older sister Meritaten as it has been noted that her name has been covered by Tutankhamun's on some of the finds.

Tombs are started the day a king sits on the throne.

All of tuts treasures are mostly recycled and many altered items plus his father and mother were not popular with the high priests so it's been suggested to eradicate this era everything was placed in tuts tomb

I appreciate the information

How many years does it take to build a tomb?

Because ladies n girls were used for magic purpose aswell. So maybe it's for ritual purpose to protect in Afterlife

Is there anything normal with tut?

@@SobeAditi no One exactly knows reality .. everyone is just guessing

That certainly makes sense to me. Both Tutankamen & his father's (Akenaten) expectation would be to meet those children in the Afterlife

@@SobeAditi 😆! ! What's "normal" about ANYTHING in Egyptology? Gotta admit it's a rich, multilayered enigma. Egyptian history & artifacts will keep people puzzled for generations to come

Who doesn’t!

No such thing as Egyptian history! The name of the land before Greco-Roman occupation was Kemet.

Where else on Earth would you find a place that has been hit by cataclysmic events which have half melted statues, or blown them apart, as well as stone boxes, that somehow got into the serapeaum, when there is no overhead shaft to lower them down, and yet have precision cut as if somehow ancient machines were used. with laser like precision....certainly not in South America...

Most of this stuff on this program is just made up to entertain the masses. Is it so hard to make a story of the true or they just don't have anyone on staff that know anything.

God bless you

How do you feel about the people whose ancestors built these things you are fascinated about ? I mean (black) melanated people ?

@@bismarkadu-num5834 I'm sorry but I'm not sure that I understand your point?

Yea, once I'm free of body. I want to move through time and check out some things as well. But there are ones/Things to fear. Run and hide that has saved me but then you just forget.

The tomb was originally made for his father's favorite wife, his own stepmother as well as mother-in-law, his wife's/ sister's mother - Nefertiti. They were all related. Ay was an uncle to Tut. and yes, he took Tut's tomb, that is correct.

Maybe that is why this treasure was never stolen and lost to history.

My favorite place was the Egyptian permanent exhibition at the Met in NYC when I was a child. My mother never worried, 'cause I'd be in there for hours!

Went there as a school girl when the Tut Exhibit was in the city. Also went to the Oriental Museum. Field trips.

We have a legit englassed mummy here, too :) glad I got to visit the museum as a tot and twice in recent years before covid19. Would love to go back. I forgot the mummy's name :(

@@StephiSensei26 do they still have this at the Met today? Darn if they do! I finally got to go to the Met in person a few years back but there was too little time and I didn't hear of this. Bummer

@@TheCandiceWang I hope they do. It's been a very long time ago, since I was at the Met. It would surprise me greatly and sadden me even more, if their renowned permanent Egyptian wing, was no longer there. Even if some of it was out on exhibition elsewhere, there would still be plenty to see. Thank you.

I do

Best of luck to you

Wish you a lot of luck

Yes, best of luck from me! That's what I wanted to be, but never made it Wishing you all success!@@tandzilemalambe8776

What would be even better is for them to release all the hidden history they have stolen from the world.

I was not more than 10 when I told my parents I wanted to be an archeologist. But life got in my way, but I still watch these type of shows and novels.

It is the government that curtails the exploration by limiting the amount and when it can be done. They also require that the excavation be done by at least some Egyptians. Not only were many of the tombs raised shortly after the interment, they continued through the early 1920"s when Howard Carter makes the discovery of Tutankhaman and all sorts of explorers flocked to the area. As in the grave robbers, they could care a fig about these precious artifacts. Their only interest was in the monetary value of the gold, for instance. There was also looting during the Howard Cartier dig. By this time, the looters realized the value of the items the found was over and beyond their precious metals and jewels. The reason so many mummies have not been found in tact, was that the early grave robbers didn't see any value in the mummies, they just rifled through the sarcophagus without giving a thought to the historical value. Even though the Egyptians generally identified the sarcophagus by inscribed their name and a biography of the person, but the grave robbers had no interest in the identity of the mummy. Bones were scattered around. Some were put in another's coffin. Modern DNA capabilities have been used recently to put names to some of the "unknowns." But unfortunately, the Egyptian government has and continues to be unwelcoming to those who have come to steal "their" country's treasures.

Really? I thought you supported Authentic Academia, rather than Mainstream. I must be confused with my subscriptions.

@@vegapunk-369 Just wondering who the "they" might be that has stolen all hidden history.

I have a picture of my then one year old sitting on the bottoms stone.

Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization the Greeks came up with the name Egypt it's online look it up Ancient Egypt was pure African people period not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 100 true facts 💯 facts

Ah ... if they had only understood genetics as well as they understood stone working.

No. It wasn't that common. His grandmother Tiye was a commoner. Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, is of unkhown origin, but since she is't reffered as King's daughter than she wasn't a sister of Akhenaten.

@@Misseria I repeat, it was very common forEgyptian royalty to marry their siblings...it’s a well known fact.

It was not common among royalty of other cultures at the time. The Egyptians did it because they inherited their culture from Mesopotamia, where the original Egyptians came from. The Ptolemies eventually also adopted this practice from their Egyptian subjects.

Sometimes I don't think so !⛰

We went on a Wednesday, in Chicago. No line. It was magnificent, wasn't it?

I stood in line in Chicago.

If you queued for six hours, you should not be letting the words "King Tut" pass your lips!!

I9th​@@rachelhenderson2688

If that were true then they never would have written their names on Cartouches to have them read and spoken aloud again in the far off future so that they could gain immortality... LOL Completely and utterly ridiculous.

@@M.Campbell-Sherwood but isn’t that just like saying people today put dead people’s name’s on tombstones so because of that we could just start digging up graves now?

@@leahj9374 It's not the same thing. The graves are out in the open for all to see, while Cartouches are hidden beneath the ground waiting to be found. All you have to do is study Egyptology long enough to find out they WANTED to be remembered. Its kind of like with Hispanic people (Mexico as well as Central and South America) and their Ofrenda tradition. They just use photos rather than a Cartouche. To keep the name going and the memory of the person eternal you have to know that person's name and speak it. You can't do that if they stay hidden and buried from the world. And like the removal of a photograph from the Ofrenda, the spirit is no longer eternal. They have a time limit (basically when anyone who knew them personally is gone as well).

Mr Tut. 🤣 I know weren't trying to be funny but I have to thank you for the chuckle. It's been a rough day. So again, thank you. 😁

It’s a but creepy when you realize we are focused on tombs it makes it macabre. What was their living decore like? Ours is very different from our dead.

Your Professor was right. There a lot of theories (Actual theories from facts and two sided discussions not like Qanon type 'theories') that the bust of Nefertiti wasnt even created in her Lifetime, not even her Century. But a later copy...Muuuuuuch laaaaater 18th or 19th Century Copy

What's funny is everyone looks at the color plates of the bust that are only twenty years old or so but not the older black and white plates from just after it was found and taken to Berlin. In the older plates, the left eye socket looks damaged, almost as if the eye was gorged out by someone trying to keep the eye and bust intact. This to me says that the eye in the bust might be a replacement from when the bust was originally made with the original eyes appropriated by someone. Also, the bust most likely was made during Nefertiti's lifetime: after her death, at least two pharoah's made a practice of obliterating the names and images of the Heretic King and his blasphemous Queen.

I was wondering why this seemed to be all over the place.

@@shelbyclark3733 because it is fascinating

Exactly.

And they put them back? Lol

Most of these so-called tombs were in fact not tombs at all. Never underestimate the lengths rich and powerful men will go to in order to stay rich and powerful. It's a major bummer but the truth could provide an avenue which humanity would use to once again unlock the long-lost secrets of free & renewable energy, thus the masquerade must be maintained.

True some were "robbed" by later Pharoahs when Egypt was in financial need and they couldn't produce their own golden materials to put in their own tombs. P.S. not just my opinion but what Egyptologists said.

Most of the tombs in the valley of the Kings were more likely opened up and the items recycled by the high priests especially during financially hard times

That is not true, let it go.

@Julie J Of course they were black African. Why should it bother you if you're not black African. I'm sure there's a rich history of whatever continent you come from. Go claim it, and leave Africa alone. Shame on you!

@@cruisepaige please prove that it's untrue

The Female was seen as a protector - a mother - a sister. They were the most liberated women for ages, before and well-after the Egyptian Kingdom ended. Like Goddesses, they had a specific power and symbolism no man could equate to, men themselves having their own revered symbolism, too.

The Priests were the one having the Tombs raided as well.

Yes ancient Kemet is very fascinating

THis is FAKE!!!

You’re a hater & liar! 🤥 you didn’t know about fake Nefertiti. I wanna bet you watched maybe 4/5mins and made this comment

@@AyouMike Nope, knew about it for at least a few years. There is the whole issue of the near - perfect preservation , the completely missing left eye and many other things. The theory has merit, and the busts authenticity should definitely be reassessed, very carefully, but we also should not jump to conclusions immediately.

Only because they built the pyramids, with technology/knowledge that does not match that era. It is puzzling to great minds that exist in our time.

😂

yes, her other eye was crystal blue, like as seen in the earliest dynasties, even the princly scribes, google image blue eyed egyptians...

@@NeptunesLagoonIt was fake, it was created in the 20th century , some of the bodies were also fake, to steal culture, it's shameful.

@Julie J agreed, red ochre males and pale females is a Caucasian artistic expression, as seen in Minoan, Etruscans, mitanni, and Greek art of the period, none were blak.

@@earthlinggalactical8200 statements completely unsupported by facts

@@NeptunesLagoon A scientific fact is that the first humans were blacks in Africa specifically in Kenya or so, before spreading through the African continent. The different races were born due to evolution of the blacks who migrated to other parts of the world. So the human race can be traced back to the black man and woman. Mind you, if current Egyptians are middle Eastern and European , then you are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians because invasions and interactions of Ancient Egyptians with Middle East and Europeans started many centuries after upper and lower Egypt was united into one Egypt by the first Pharaoh, Nemes. The most common statements by current Egyptians though are, Egyptians are uniquely Egyptians, they are not blacks or white. Not African or Middle Eastern or European. It is also claimed that their admixture is just a bit of Middle Eastern and European and had insignificant changes to their DNA and features. However, when technology is used to recreate the looks of some Pharoahs and Queens, their features are rather similar to Africans in Horn of Africa like Somalia, Sudan, etc than modern day Egyptians. What exactly is the origin story of Ancient Egyptians then? How did they come to be ? Can they be traced back to the first humans (blacks) of Africa like all human races.? Were they part of the blacks who migrated from Kenya and settled in Egypt and later evolved to white and olived skinned looking ones? Were the black Egyptians bred out? did they migrate back into Sub Sahara Africa especially countries in the horn of Africa? Or did you come from the Middle East and Europe ? Like it or not, there are different school of thoughts and questions with regards to who Ancient Egyptians really were and looked like and until the answers add up, History, Science and technology will bring more controversies.

Yes it was the African Egyptians that were the great builders and there were scrolls in the great Library even if potions and cures for all ailments these scrolls were not just of those things there were inventions that has been kept from the world say it would throw things out of place for doctors more or less our governments have kept us back when we could be more advanced possibly by 500 or more years. They do not want cures to soon. Technology would mess up the rich wanting to be greedy with minerals extracted from mining. Computers and solar is a big change, next will be advanced vehicles. Possibly air vehicles not land vehicles.

@@jannettebrown2033 the only thing that IS NOT "free", and IS easily "replenished", is human resource. With advances in robotics, human resource has great competition. Unlike minerals, computers/programs, solar, etc...which is pretty "free" but difficult to "replenish". You would not want to mess with "replenishing"/"exhausting" computers and their programs or solar (sun). And this planet as is will not last 500 years.

That's cheating! Good 👍 observation!!

@@Susanc06 Hi. Thank you.

@Ylnevaeh Stsoh Hello. I believe you are right.

They have to cheat because grinding rocks together is not how it was done. There is lost ancient technology used and the marks can be seen all over. Limestone is soft compared to granite which makes this idea even sillier.

@@elissitdesign It was a limestone block. Where was the granite?

🤔🤔🤔

Yeah - interesting point there !

Scythians, Thracians, Phonetians, Mesopotamians, Anatolians, Indigenous Australians, Native Americans etc etc .....so much more out there 🤷🏼‍♀️

uhhh ... China?

New Zealand also has megalithic sites and giant skeletons but the natives stopped exploitations and good on them 👍

Is there a race called Egyptians? furthermore, the greeks were educated by black Africans

@@kinghorus4276 europeans were educated by Africans

The point is no one is sure whose tomb Tut was actually interred in. Part of an unused tomb for a female of unknown origin? A never finished tomb for a noble? We don't know who this tomb was intended for--or even if it was a tomb originally. It is almost certain that Ay, Tut's successor, appropriated Tut's unfinished tomb for his own use. One thing that is certain is that Tut died so suddenly nothing was ready for his tomb so most of what was packed into his final resting place (and probably at least one of his coffins) belonged to someone else. A lot of the grave goods look like they were used in the palace, furniture that was made for the everyday use of his ancestors.

There is supposed to be a hidden door in one of the walls of his burial chamber that actually leads to the rest of the tomb complex, which was apparently made for His Mother, Nefertiti & no one has ever been given permission to even drill a tiny hole in the wall for one of those tiny cameras to be poked through...

Naive point of view. Power shifted. The treasures were chump change and for the funereal only. Pharaoh had real wealth in gold crops armies and commerce. The stuff they were buried with was for show only.

DNA proves all humans are related to africans.

The construction of the mask was a rework. I saw the backside of it and it was obvious to me because I was learning to make jewelry back then.

Say it louder these colonizers are obsessed with claiming a culture not theres

@Jack Stefan John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, Dr. Robert Schoch and Graham Hancock might help you appreciate the satire!

@Jack Stefan Egyptologists are somehow not concerned with seeking truth rather they very aggressively defend there own stand point, denying clear geological evidences and are adamant to prove them primitive. The approach makes them a Mafia rather than academia! So they are not credible unless in any particular case proven otherwise. So would take whatever they say with an handsome amount of salt 😎

@Jack Stefan my opinion matters to myself and am allowed to express it. As far as this video is concerned, an attempt to stay relevant and look scientific to substantiate their highly questionable existence by addressing a trivial matter, propagating their agenda about Giza Pyramids for no apparent reason at all, if you are willing to defend the pressure group, am afraid, discussion would be futile.

@Jack Stefan well there is one archaeologist, that has the deciding power over everything: Zahi Hawass. Nothing goes around him. He is in close ties with the government and he denies most research coming from places he doesn't have control over. So what we know is what he wants to be out there, simple as that. There have been a lot of initiatives to dig next to the sphynx because everything points that there is a huge chamber there. Also the hole on the head of the sphynx was covered up with a metal hatch later on, and the hole next to the sphynx too. It has been scaffolded away. He denied research, he research it himself with his team said they found nothing, yet he doesn't let any other researcher near it. He is a crook.

There was a show in Chicago at the art museum (sun God or something but ill never forget‼️fabulous🌅🏺🪔🗡⚱

Yeah

Y not a European one cos ur not African ?

Tut was t old!

In the "afterlife" the suitcase will find the proper owner.

That's how it is- you guess, you research, you examine, and you test. Nothing wrong with guessing as long as they keep trying to discover.

Yep...this women has no idea how they built the tombs, temples ect. ... NO ONE DOES!!!!

Not just Egyptologists but historians in general everything we know could actually be a lie since alot of the information is word of mouth from people who lived in those times. The documents may or may not be what they wanted people to think.

that's because the Smithsonian has filtered the amount of information we are allowed to have. they hide more than they tell

@@dr.kimberlyweitl4891 huh... that's actually kind of scary when you think about it. Our entire lives could be a lie

Thanks

Pretty sure Ancient Egyptians built them...Whether they are the direct ancestors of the modern Egyptians, we can’t validate. Either way, humans built them.

they were not tombs and they weren't built by the ancient Egyptians either

You can clearly see the evolution of even older Egyptian tombs, which are called "Mastaba", evolving into step pyramids, further evolving into proto-pyramids (e.g. kink pyramid) and finally becoming beautiful pyramids. You have to realize, that there are ca. 80 pyramids in Egypt and not just the popular 5 or 6. While most of them were discovered in a pillaged state, whitout much to find for scientists, especially the most popular ones, not all of them were empty, and pyramids beeing used as tomb was validated multiple times through finds in the not empty ones. Even more precise dating of the pyramids age was possible on those, and there aren't any surprises. Graffities with Egyptian writings on the off side of pyramid stones were also found on most pyramid locations. So it is very save to say, that ancient Egyptians build them.

@@kinghorus4276 there are no crypts in the pyramids at all and the pyramids were standing when the ancient Egyptians arrived in Egypt already

They can’t leave the items in the tombs because people still steal them. The items are safer in the museum and allow for us to learn from the artifacts. Take away the treasure and ancient Egypt would be forgotten about. I’m reading old history books and you should see how the American White man was trying to discredit the Egyptians by saying the Greeks were the first people to write down “facts”.
