Abidos! Shout out to my SG fans.

I was there last year very nice place except haw the locals and the staff are annoying when they ask for tips . Made me sick and never want to visit again

it’s fascinating how much time and effort us modern humans take to preserve our own ancient past! Ancient Egyptian seems somehow futuristic, even to us today. A fascinating period of human evolution, they knew more about the laws of Nature than we do today, in terms of how human consciousness operates within the universal consciousness that creates the world we live in

Absolutely right

Not egyptology but Egypt

@@roylle6346 Exactly. I see Egyptology and archeology as fields of dogmatic study that cannot be called science. They are too many questions asked regarding the discovery of the unknown that lead very bright minds who are passionate about these fields to be silenced and treated as outcasts.

@@KebabsRock1997 Try substituting, say, nuclear physics for Egyptology and archaeology and you will arrive at the same meaning. However, the word ‘dogmatic’ doesn’t really suit either context.

Not.... Egypt ... this was Kemet. Egypt are the Greeks images. Two different time and era.

Contemporary civilizations such as the Sanxingdui bronze head with gold foil mask. Made in China Radiocarbon proof dates from the 12th-11th centuries BC.

my bet is on feeling similar to an ancient egypt builder visiting a modern city!

I belive they where faaar more advanced then we might know. And they only keept whats worty for us knowing.

​@@csch92 What evidence do you have of this?

you would have been enslaved and stricken with whips hourly to work for the pharos.

@@e.matthews "trust me bro"

Its not, for all we know they could have ruined potential research into the original structures as they were. It wouldn't be any different if they moved Giza.

@@thephilosopher7173 Had it been left in place, it would be under water.

Only part that sucks is that it would be under water and might aswell be the titanic. Take oceangate to see it

@@gofoatsI cant believe I never knew they relocated this entire temple that is actually insane. Why could they not have just built another dam wall? I find it hard to believe it was cheaper to build 2 fake mountains and completely dissemble and reassemble those temples than it would have just to built another big wall protecting them. They could have put a mini fake beach on top of the wall and had steps leading down into the canyon with the temple.

​@SpreadAU There is an underwater Egyptian city, Thonis-Heracleion in the Nile delta. In the future there may be dangerous experimental sub rides available.

u said it perfectly, "lies".

@@martinquevedo4821 ???

well they were carved straight out of the side of the mountain. Which means they are going to be very durable. The basic engineering is not that complex, it is just a case of lots of time and desire. They were designed to induce bowel motions in any potential enemy coming up the Nile. The fact 3000 years later we can look at this complex and go WOW says a lot about the effect it must have had back then.

@@martinquevedo4821 that’s not what they said at all.

@@glenchapman3899 The megalithic structure of Abu Simbal is carved out of sandstone which though not as hard as granite it is still a hard rock and hard to imagine the mountain side was carved with copper tools. I do not advocate for some more ancient construction of this temple as well as the great pyramids, but we cannot yet explain how Abu Simbal was carved.

Literally unimaginable moments that would be😍😍😍🔥

Man that would’ve been scary af not knowing what could’ve been setup. Idk if poisonous gases or booby traps would’ve lasted that long over the centuries. But wowee what a thrill.

some these photos from Halfa northren Sudan

​@@marwaabbaro5020what about iraq do they have sthg similar??

We must be about the same age as I remember that too. It was one of two articles that inspired me to cellect the magazine. Before I was done I had around eleven hundred issues.

@@deniseeulert2503 Lol! I guess in a way, National Geographic was to then, as the internet is to people now. It had lots of interesting articles about everything under the sun, big color pictures, and I couldn't wait for each monthly issue to come out at the public library since we were too poor to afford it when I was a kid.

@@c.518 Too late. You missed it. They did it already. You snooze, you lose. ;)

@@c.518 UNESCO actually did move the statues of Ramses II at Abu Simbel! Their teams of engineers, stoneworkers and others sawed the statues and surrounding enclosure into huge stone blocks, numbering and diagramming them as they went, then moved it higher up above what would be the flood line of the under construction Aswan High Dam, and painstakingly reassembled it. Took them something like 4 years! How I know" I had an older cousin who taught Paleontology at SMU. He was invited to work on the project, and spent almost a year at Abu Simbel. He took many photos of that monumental undertaking and shared them with me! I remember asking him after he returned what the most memorable part of his trip was - his response: the 2 weeks he spent afterwards, exploring the Amalfi Coast of Italy as a vacation! This is considered one of the great engineering efforts of the 20TH Century!

@@c.518 If you're interested, there is a book titled Egypt: Yesterday and Today by David Roberts. It's full of some of the most amazing Lithographs I've ever seen, and date from his trips to Egypt in the 1840's! It covers much more than just Abu Simbel, but the art is just jaw-dropping! It's also very informative.

Welcome to Egypt ❤

Pyramid-shaped mountain in China, about 150 meters high, with 15 pyramids, prominently located in Anlong District. Guizhou Province, southwestern China, is 200 million years old. Chinese pyramid mountains are similar in shape to Egyptian pyramids.

@@user-gw8gq3jn5f 200 million? What proof do you have?

❤your previous self was possibly present while it was originally being built. 👩🏾‍🦱👦🏾 I think that the universe somehow leaves "spiderweb" like connections in our physical form, thin memories which make us feel attachment to places we had physically experienced in our previous physical existence. Especially if we had a profound physical experience during that particular life… 😅 I good friend of mine, went to Pompeii for the first time in her turbulent life and stayed... Without hesitation she bought a house near the archaeological excavations. She told me that she felt an enormously strong connection with the old Pompeii and that her nightmares had ceased while living there... she felt that she had lived and died there during the eruption in 79 A.D.

Depends on what you mean by defaced...I visited in 2019...it seems every conquering culture left their 'mark' on everything...it's a shame.

04:42 they aren't. You can clearly see the nubians bound for slavery here. You can tell them apart from the Egyptians by their facial features

@@salaialexander7022 still they were black Africans. Ugandans typically don’t look like Somalis but 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@bilaljahi5364 Somalis are admixed with Arabians and caucazoid north Africans for eons. Totally obliterated your own premise

@@salaialexander7022 i like it that way

اذا كنت تريد ان تعيش المغامرات ابحث عن الأسلام وتعلم عنه ستندهش وتتحمس

I'm sure there are ignorant people saying those "stolen" relics must be returned to Egypt.

@@johng4093 relax, just because you find 1 relic not stolen doesnt mean none wasnt stolen. Try and have an open mind.

I've been there last week and I can't believe I waited all these years to visit. It truly is something incredible

i think its 2nd after Sumer.

Orkneys also.

I have seen Venice and I am from Córdoba: good choice anyway.

lol, the first people discovered in ancient Britannia were Negroid. The first female discovered on the British Isle was a black chick. The Americas indigenous people recorded themselves as dark skinned people with Negroid features, until Renaissance invaders destroyed their civilizations and colonized them with European DNA and customs.

Abu Simbel wasn’t a tomb - it was a shrine and a symbol of Egyptian dominance over the Nubians.

@@allangibson8494 arent Nubians just Egyptians and vice versa? We 3000 year slater segregates them into race but back then they were just various tribes of the same peoples,,no?

Welcome to Egypt ❤

Have a look around RU-vid referring to human giants. Divergent, Paul Cook, Mud Fossil University and many more.

@@ManuelBravo wha with da horus and set/Seth wall with da one person in da middle? And what Egyptians thought of their ⚔️.

Yes indeed.

To be fair, the ancient Egyptians probably would have appreciated having cranes and excavators to do all the hard work...

4 years and about 300 million dollars in todays money. They chopped them up into something like 20 ton blocks and put them back together like a giant game of tetris

Subverting the truth, to promote whyte supremacy propaganda and lies.

Yes indeed you are absolutely correct! but some of these comments are trying it! If you know what I mean! 😎

😍

North Africa is different from sub-Saharan Africa.

@@beauty-boy Ok...

Egyptian 😡not African

@@user-dj7vx4em3z Egypt is part of the African continent. I'm not saying the history belongs to all Africans, just an achievement achieved on the African continent, since most of it is pretty bland, Stone Hedge would be considered a European achievement not a British one because still no one knows who or what made them

@@user-dj7vx4em3z these are Africans that built this. Black sudanese and egyptians. Nubia/egypt. Its in southern Egypt, border of sudan. These were black people lmao

@@tertlertNo, Nubia was down in Sudan

Cleopatra was the last queen of the Macedonian dynasty that ruled Egypt between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and its annexation by Rome in 30 BCE.

Especially the Kushites and Ethiopians

@@ScorpioMojo We don’t subscribe to Afrocentric nonsense. Egyptians are the ONLY non tribal ethnicity on the African continent, something we take a great deal of pride in. Egyptians belong to the White racial category, Kushites and Ethiopians are Black. Their languages belong to a different language group as well. The final stage of the Egyptian language is Coptic and is STILL in use today. Without Copts, Egyptology would never have existed.

@Dr. Banoub, U💵C ‘86,’90 - modern Egyptian transplants and immigrant invaders since 700 AD. The continent of Africa is afrocentric. Creating a new land mass by calling it the middle east in the early 1900's doesn't change facts and history concerning ancient Kemet aka Egypt. Kemet means black land. Unremarkable olive skinned, European mixtures and wannabes contributed NOTHING to Egypt's glorious past achievements. Arabs just live there and take up space, helping whyte supremacy propaganda suppress the land's original people. Must be infuriating to dwell in someone else's historic homeland where no one of legend looks like you. I can't think of any remarkable modern Egyptians who are known for anything significant. Surrounded by the true inheritors and inhabitants who number over a billion must make colonizers nervous. #TicToc.

@@ScorpioMojo I know all the Afrocentric nonsense: “mountains of the moon”, the charlatan named Dr Ben, Anta Diopshit, Nubia as the mother of Egypt etc. Blacks have contributed nothing to Egyptian civilization . Afrocentric racist supremacists developed a therapeutic mythology , based on cultural appropriation , revisionist history and pseudo science to alleviate their feelings of inferiority from the transatlantic slave trade that their direct antecedents, like Nzinga, were complicit in. Copts are the original people who still read , write and speak in the final stage of the Egyptian language. FYI, ancient Egyptians didn’t even like getting tanned let alone black skin color, sad…. You’re twisting yourself into pretzels because you’re embarrassed that you Hoteps don’t come from a place of ancient civilization or culture. Do you know ancient and modern Egyptians found dark skin undesirable? So much so my ancestors invented sunscreen! “The first record of sun protection began with the Egyptians, who used ingredients such as rice bran, jasmine, and lupine.Though they did not understand the harmful effects the sun has on the skin, they did understand the concept of tanning. In a culture where lighter skin was more desirable, the purpose of their sunscreen was solely cosmetic. It has only recently been discovered that rice bran absorbs UV light, jasmine helps repair DNA, and lupine lightens skin. Other cultures have tried their luck at sun protection with varying success.” From Journal of the American Medical Association December Dermatology 2015 The History of Sunscreen - JAMA Network Go ahead refute JAMA(Journal of the American Medical Association)! The AMA’s racist too? Or how about the US census Bureau? Per the US 2020 Census, Egyptians are White! White: The category “White” includes all individuals who identify with one or more nationalities or ethnic groups ORIGINATING in Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Examples of these groups include, but are not limited to, German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, EGYPTIAN, Polish, French, Iranian, Slavic, Cajun, and Chaldean. Black or African American: The category “Black or African American” includes all individuals who identify with one or more nationalities or ethnic groups originating in any of the black racial groups of Africa. Examples of these groups include, but are not limited to, African American, Jamaican, Haitian, Nigerian, Ethiopian, and Somali. The category also includes groups such as Ghanaian, South African, Barbadian, Kenyan, Liberian, and Bahamian. Key word: originating 1. have a specified beginning.

@Dr. Banoub, U💵C ‘86,’90 - American born black people are proud to stand against whyte supremacy and oppression. We've been surviving and thriving in American Babylon for centuries. We don't want to be whyte and reject the Neanderthug culture. We ARE the American pop culture. You are an Arab transplant whose ancestors invaded Kemet around 70 AD. All that coptic crap is irrelevant to a civilization that was founded 1000's of years ago and left evidence of their appearance and identity from the white Nile in Uganda, to the blue Nile originating in Ethiopia. The E1B1A DNA dominates the region. Kemet is Egypt's original name and it means black land. Like their historic ties and family bonds with Ethiopia and Kush. The Arab phenotype is a hybrid and excels at nothing on the world stage. A bland mixture of chromosomes that produces less than spectacular people, who want to be European, but are rejected to 2nd class citizen status. The day is soon approaching when the dark skinned African people who are indigenous to the entire continent until the full scale invasion by Europeans in the late 1800's .. with automatic weapons, will rise up and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. The Boers/Afrikaaners and Chinese will be evicted soon enough. It's already beginning. The middle east and Arabian desert are your true ancestral lands. Arid sands and dust just like Kemet has degraded to. The most lush, bountiful lands and territories were inhabited by everyone BUT Europeans. They couldn't build ships fast enough to flee from that frozen POS, into the historic paradises that darker skinned people are indigenous to. We know who always wins in any fair competition against black people. Looking at the image of the great black rulers and gods who inspired the sphynx tells the world the truth. Shattering the noses, flooding tombs and destroying Alexandria to subvert the truth only bought time. There will be more discoveries like Saqqara and it's untampered black images and history. The truth always emerges. Allowing Arabs to FINALLY claim European identity and status is another pathetic stalling tactic. Neanderthug birthrates are non existent. The Arab spring fiasco was staged to force wannabe whytes to immigrate to Europe .. who desperately needs low skilled and wage workers to maintain the economy that free black labor established centuries ago. It's always been about race and black people. American born black people will be receiving our long overdue reparations for slavery very soon, and the world follows our lead. The other great civilizations of Africa which were pillaged and destroyed by colonizers like Great Zimbabwe, Benin, Mali, and Timbuktu will continue to reveal their true past and achievements. And we know they won't be attributed to inferior olive skinned European wannabes. Hope you like sand and sun .. your historic homelands. Always bet on black.
