The Discovery of KING TUT | The Gold Mask
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2015
- The gold mask of Tutankhamun is recognized as one of the world’s most famous works of art. Made of solid gold and weighing some 25 pounds, it’s a masterpiece of early goldsmith’s work. Its value is priceless. But who really knows what it symbolizes?
I’ve been fascinated with Egypt and King Tut since I was a small boy. I’ve been to see the pyramids and the Spinkx. I finally got to go to the Cairo museum to see all of his treasures, inc his famous gold mask. The workmanship is incredible. I also went across to the Valley of the Kings to go down in his tomb. Very small, as most people say. It fulfilled a boyhood dream to see everything. I’m now 58, and still completely fascinated by it all.
There more to it ,HUN,than meets the eyes.
Wow! What an experience!😱
Tut's gold mask is arguably the most breathtakingly beautiful object in all archeological history.

لا حضاره تضاهي الحضارة المصرية ... بكل تأكيد
فليأتي من يظن انه لهم حضارة مثل هذه ....

That man is an excellent narrator 👍
Agreed!
I thought JUST THE OPPOSITE!
Yeah for sure bro
He's excited about his job; it must be a passion of his for discovering history, and explaining it. Reason why I am here
His name is Don Wildman
The most priceless artifact of them all. Beyond comparison.
the way the man speaks about this discover, you can really tell this is his passion, and that he truly loves this...........
It's a beautiful thing.
What puzzles me is not just the gold, but the art and work that was done, several thousand years ago, yet they were able to do sth that only modern technology can unveil
Who knew back in his time that an INSANIFIGIANT boy king would some 3,000 years later quite literally BECOME the face of Ancient Egypt. AND QUITE POSSIBLY EGYPT herself. His DEATH MASK sealed THAT FATE. Just JAW DROPPING BEAUTIFUL.
Still astonished by how something so accurate was made over 3000 years ago with contemporary tools. We haven't come great leaps compared to that civilisation. Without doubt the most valuable piece of art in the world.
Mona Lisa too.
Tut mask in my opinion better and more interesting than mona lisa what if mona lisa would of been drawn by an unknown attist and not da vinci i dont think it would gotten the attention it got

And immortal he became. Forever a great exhibit and story. Egyptians were right.
.999 solid Gold is currently valued at $1,300 an ounce in North America.
There are 16 ounces to a pound, so one pound of solid Gold would be worth about $18,959.
That Solid Gold, "mask," weighs about 25 pounds, so in today's market would fetch a handsome $473,975 in US dollars.
(I did the math so you won't have to. 👍😂)
But it's only the value of the material which is gold. The history attached to it made it priceless and harder to calculate.
14.58 troy ounces to a pound of gold
Thanks!
@Anonymous If it can be sold. Faberge Eggs are worth a fortune because they can be sold. However if one is stolen it can never sold on the open market again. Now what is it worth?
It is only worth its intrinsic or scrap value which is the value of the gold and jewels.
thankyou
I took my mom to this exhibit when it came here to San Diego, it was amazing!!!
The gold mask was not meant for Tut. Originally it had a different face on it that was removed and replaced with Tut's likeness, because of his sudden unexpected death they needed one quickly. Even the tomb wasn't meant for him.
I'm still completely amazed of how timeless and beautiful it is. It still looks new!
It's gold
Gold never tarnishes.
Absolutely amazing, to think that thousands of years ago, without the aid of modern technology, the ancient egyptians created such beautiful works of art and architectural achievements, just blows my mind.
Great video! I just watched this with my 3 year old son and he is infatuated with the greatness and creativity of our ancestors!
Please keep showing him how amazing and beautiful this world is! I would suggest checking out "Smarter Every Day" on UA-cam and Instagram; he makes a great great dad! Have a good day!😄
The Mask After 3000 years Still looks new ,shows the importance of storing some Gold for your personal wealth preservatiion ,especially These days
This guy could definitely pass as Tom Cruiz.. very great video btw thank you
I learned more !! Thank you .
Wonderful presentation.. quite quite engaging.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️it. Congrats 🎉🎉
I love gold!! It’s the most versatile metal on the planet. I have had the pleasure of working with gold I mined myself. I was a dental technician and I have cast gold alloy into crowns and bridges. But there’s nothing like pure gold or any gold above 20k. It melts beautifully with heat is not really that hot as far as metals go (1947). We would calibrate our porcelain ovens with a pellet of gold foil. That was in the ‘70’s. Technology has come a long way since then. It must have been incredibly satisfying to the ancients for them to be able to do anything they could imagine with gold given their primitive technology. In the video “ chasing” is blending gold together without any heat. You can actually “ meld” gold together. Which is exactly what happened at the San Francisco mint. Gold bags stacked on top of each other melded into a solid mass and had to be reprocessed into coins. You can see the imprints of the coins on the steel walls of the vaults to this day. Let gold sinking into steel set in. I couldn’t wrap my mind around until I saw it for myself.
Now imagine most of royal mummies of Egypt also had these stunning burrial masks, but they were stolen and now they are who knows where
I've got the gold funerary mask of Khufu in my spare bedroom
That was cool it's nice to know something about the pharaoh of Egypt!
Was the mask made from molten gold poured into a mold, or was it sculpted from a solid block of gold? How did they get the fittings between the gold mask and the colored inlay so exact? I mean to match the curvatures in the hair wrapping around the head, just seems impossible - the blue looks to be single pieces.
Thank you!
Perfect explanation about king Tut
Wow! Aboustley amazing like he said I don't think that King Tut would wear it because it weighs 25 pounds.
It's for the soul to return to the body recognizing the face
Its crazy to think that was all made by hand
Lost Advanced Ancient Technology !!!

All this artifacts are meant to be buried forever without ever seeing the living days lights or touch it or it will be parishes from the four elements of the season not like the status they were built from sandstone for the outsiders the mask is 34 pounds of gold like around 18,000$
It isn’t really, there’s no shortage of great artists, what’s amazing is how much money they spent on their tombs, it was obviously very important to them.
Recent research shows the death mask consisted of 2 seperate parts and the actual face part was not meant for him at all.

The music really comes together toward the end.
Fantastic 👍
It's fascinating all the history we are only uncovering now in the
modern era. Who would have believed such things existed. I mean people
even though Moses and the Exodus was fable till the massive discovery of
dozens of sites of the Exodus around a decade ago. It's crazy even
after all this time we are still finding all this stuff in the middle
east.
I love this video
I've heard Tuts mask actually belonged to a queen which was then reused for Tut
When I was a kid, I thought King Tut wore the gold mask while he was alive.
Narration is perfect
King Tut......The amazing

informational nice
that is so cool
I stared at the symbols inside the Pyramid..kinda mysterious
Them in Sindh, Mohenjodaro,Sindh ,the symbols somehow relate.
They should start digging for Queen Nefertiti
They shouldn't dig shit, I'm sure you wouldn't like it if it was your family.

There are articles in Georgian where it is written that Tutankhamun's mask and some Egyptian gold items are made of Colchian gold. Is there any research on the origin of this gold?
Nope, African gold buddy.
“I don’t want to die,I’m a god why can’t I live on?”
Tuts eyes also looks dialated... they were all tripping with ease back then...back then it wasn't tripping...they knew about the importance of certain plant medicines
if they knew what is really going on. People would want to find what it means.
I saw the mask a few days ago in Cairo and wondered what the small hole was on the right side of it, does anyone know? You can see it in this video too.
How was the death mask made?
My 3000 years uncle King Tut
Who kept this now?. It is in Egyptian museum or somewhere else? . Where we can see this?.
Its in Egyptian Museum, and soon will be moved to the new great museum in egypt alo
Now he stay in Grand Egyptian museum near to pyramids of Giza
recently discovered is that the mask was actually intended for his mother Nefetiti
Truth. Sun ☀️ God of heaven. That death mask lives forever....wow. They knew.
Who would steal those they worked so hard on them
I cant believe that the gold mask only weighs 25 pounds
It’s gold plated this guy is exaggerating it’s impossible for it to only weigh 25lbs if it’s solid gold
@@breadandbone7928 its not. Its solid gold but not as thick as it appears.
They say tomb robbers stole everything else but archaeologists are just as much of Thieves as the tomb robbers only difference is they have a piece of paper that tells them and others through the usage of spelling and word manipulation that they can do so with several deals and agreements with other parties of interest...that's why people were taught to spell and were taught definitions when in actuality words and their context can be manipulated...but it takes heart to know when someone is being genuine with their word.
I don’t see how anyone would be able to make this by hand
i like it
Where can I see it if I visit this place. Pleae tell me where is the place
في مصر
There is a gold mask found in Bulgaria

Just wondering what Britain was like at the time these stuffs were put together by these super crafty ancient Egyptian guys
Shut up,
The most expensive object in the planet
hes has a good voice
Was this documentary made inside the museum of egypt?
Good
This is so interesting
I agree!
Peculiar that we find this exposé of ancient buriel method an almost grand finale of human devotion for a person of which to this day, we know almost nothing substantional, except the knowledge that is given to us to believe. But yet , we find a nowadays gravedigging a sacrelitic crime punishable by law where words as necrophelia lies close to the surface. And yet returning again to these mythical figures of long, lost civilazitions with their many still unsolved methods of living, building and ancesterial source, we find it the most natural thing in the world to disect these tombs and their inhabitants because of some greater good.... interesting and strange to behold, this contradiction in terms.
Yes the subjectiveness of morality is strange.
No doubt nothing is as wonderful in this world as the treasures found in the burial chamber of Tut Ank Amon .. I was in Cairo museum multiple times , I am concerned those treasures will be replaced by fake stuff by modern ribbers and original will be in thevpissessiin if sine American and Chinese billionbaires. Cairo museum is not well guaded. Thousands of visitors and sleepy Egyptian guards ... I feel those treasures should be put back in the grave as they were found and sealed with 2 ft thick reinforced concrete .. Archeologists have done a sin by disturbing this holy grave.
Tutankhamen head rest with stripes is influenced by the fallen from transformers. They must have helped to build these massive monuments. Transformers are a very old and advanced race, tens of thousands of years.
lmao yeah they built the pyramids
I dont know why the people these days move things from where it belongs to
Hi, I'm using this video for a school assignment. Could anyone tell me who produced it or wrote it? Thanks!

@@charlieevan3569 Aren't you a funny guy?
Can u buy it? The mask?
Yush
It didnt have that bird before
That bastard career stole that tomb
Close your eyes, this is Patrick Bateman…
He mentions tomb robbers . . . - what do the archeologists think they are doing - not to speak of desecration of the grave and disruption of the dead?
@Mak Dee Are your examples not a bit different? Many children are happy to know where their father fell in the war and who now gets a more decent grave. And the same goes with the remains of Richard III. that were found under a car park. He, too, was reburied and with all due decency.
@Mak Dee I think I did, or didnt I? You said "right" (which means you agree) and then you made a comparison by saying you would not go and . . . (just the word "either" you left out).
I am sorry but I do not read it that way. Perhaps this is because English is not my native language? Or perhaps YOU did not read my initial statement the way I meant it. But nevermind.
my son is doing this for school
TUTANKHAMUM was a real KING. Even after thousands of years later still peopy want know about him.
I wonder how they made it, metal casting back than wasn't the perfect like not even one pressure bubble has formed, and even if it formed, you would need to grind it up which at that standards of the time would be impossible
Aliens. Everything is Aliens.
Bro these god's would have been some scary guys/gals
How’s it made of solid gold, and that big but only 25 pounds???
Did you mention pierced ears were not done to the men. This mask was ment for a woman. Not tut. It is speculated it was made for a female relative but due to his sudden death used for him.
I like to wear it on halloween
wear this on your head and you will take a peek at the after life
Video starts at 18 seconds
It's a not right digging these up,they should be left well alone like intended.
@Blair Drummond what's that short for.
@Blair Drummond I know right.
@Blair Drummond yes,how would they like it if it was there relatives.

Am i only the crazy one who wants to wear it
I'm pretty sure the falcons on king tut's golden mask is Horus. Which, means protection in life after death.
Wrong. Narrator is correct, it is a vulture a falcon, symbols of upper and lower Egypt.
@@IneffableFoxy Actually it is you that is wrong. The symbols of upper and lower Egypt are the vulture and the cobra. The falcon is a representation of the god Horus. You will sometimes see Horus as a falcon wearing a hat.
I wish I would die like tut 😭

Islam is a fucking cancer.
Every religion is equal
@@talalzubair3060 But in the books it is only written in Islam to destroy status or idols or Monuments. No other religion teaches that.
Jayakrishnan Menon but didn’t abraham, one of the most important prophets in judaism and christianity, destroy all the idols his people were worshipping while they were sleeping? didn’t moses, who is revered as the GREATEST prophet in judaism and christianity,execute/murder everyone who worshipping the golden calf idol after he went to the mountain to talk with god for 40 days? according to the bible(the holy book of the christians) and the torah(the holy book of the jews) god can forgive every single sin except the sin of idol worship.
also brother, what happened to the ancient egyptian civlization whenever it was under the control of the christians? would you mind telling me or should I tell you?
