      Are you aware of the predynastic granite vases, and what state of the art metrology has revealed about them?

    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!

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 UA-cam 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.

    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.

    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?

    • @patrickgriffiths889
      @patrickgriffiths889 7 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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 UA-cam, so I loved watching this. Keep doing what you’re doing I always enjoy these videos.

    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.
