So true ..... so many of us will never have the chance to travel to Kemet but thanks to youtubers like this..... we can see a glimpse of the Magic that Kemet was ....Alas 😅😅😅
I was so very fortunate to have gone their in about 95. What a wonderful experience. The farther south you go, the better it gets. Cairo is a nightmare, but every place south from there is heavenly.
Wow! I'm so in awe about the details, the quality of craftsmanship, the colourization and the sheer gorgeousness of these ancient artifacts. I generally love stone and bronze age stuff, but this is peak perfection. I live in Europe and my local museums also have really nice things, but you can clearly see how much more advanced the Egyptians were at the same time.
I don't often comment on videos, but here, at this point, I just wanted to comment on one of yours. I recommend your content to everyone interested in ancient history. One, because I enjoy your content. Two, because you cut through the BS. I'm fkn sick of the BS, sick of the conspiracies. Sick of the know-it-all know nothings. I appreciate what you're doing, and I respect you now visiting for youself. You're a FKN HERO! Thank you for being real.
Back at the end of Aoril I met up with my kids in London for the youngest one's birthday, we had a couple of hours to kill before the oldest one could join us, so walked from King's Cross to the British museum. Amazing collections there too, but more amazing that my kids knew of you and your rebuttal work👍👍
The Narmer Palette looks amazing. I think you should create a video series about the transition from the pre-dynastic to dynastic Egypt and the early dynastic period. It is a fascinating and relatively unknown period in Ancient Egypt's history for the general public.
@@HueijRevisited Yes! What a wonderful series! Jon Romer was the very best of the video Egyptologists! He gives fascinating details nobody else gives. In his oldest videos, the picture is sometimes not quite as clear as in the most recent ones by others, but the newer ones are better. No matter the age of the film, he focuses a lot on the lives of ordinary Egyptians, how they must have thought and felt. Joann Fletcher and several others are great for that too, but Jon Romer is by far the best! There have been some great people since Jon Romer's time, but I have a warmer feeling for him than any other. I really think that the info he gives is far better than anyone else, especially regarding his constant discussion of the details of life for the "average" Egyptian.
Thank you for this, David. I am always amazed at the absolute brilliance of these people. Their lives and works still enthrall us to this day. Your videos help deepen this appreciation.
Yeah , thanks David this Chanel is truly a good one but I am leaning to the alien narrative because I want to either sell a script or book and nobody buys anything without sensationalism at its bow aft and gallows. Even if your Chanel preaches facts it’s what the people want like Star Wars and the matrix. Regardless everyone looks forward to your content. Very well dines 🎉
That was wonderful. So relaxing… I’m not having to worry about ancient high technology or anything. I’m glad you showed that broken sarcophagus lid. It’s actually kind of fun seeing the same artifacts being presented by the different UA-camrs, who I watch. Do I think that lid was caught with giant circular saw? I have no idea. I do see some works in stone that seemed just incredible if they were only done with bronze tools, etc. etc. etc. Anyway, thank you so much. I really enjoyed this presentation. I ran through the metropolitan museum the other day… In a little bit of a days, after having received some bad news… But I stopped in front of the “Fragment of a Queen’squeen’s Face“ in yellow Jasper. I just think it’s one of the most beautiful objects I’ve ever seen. I’m a little mad for Egypt.
I recently discovered your channel, and have found it to be very informative and entertaining at the same time, and has picqued my interests in such matters regarding the ancient world and all that it has to offer to the peoples of today.
We suggest that you discover and search for the secrets of ancient Arab civilizations such as the Thamud civilization, the civilization of Aad, the civilization of Midian, the civilization of Palmyra, the civilization of Petra, the civilization of the Kingdom of Hatra, the civilization of the Kingdom of Sheba, the civilization of Dilmun and the civilizations of Najran and the kingdom of Dadan.
Ancient Arab? No such thing! Arabs have no history in antiquity! Attempting to place nomad no home having no writing no reading desert dwellers there, is toxic & problematic
@@oldsailor83 The civilization of Aad and the civilization of Thamud are among the greatest human civilizations. You can view the story of the Prophet Hood pbuh and the story of the Prophet Saleh pbuh The characteristics of the Thamud civilization in the Qur’an are found in Mada’in Saleh, such as its name Al-Hijr, such as the characteristics of their homes, such as agriculture and Al-Ula, an agricultural city, such as the path of the Prophet Muhammad to Tabuk. Effects in the city of Aflaj believes d. Eid Al Yahya, it is the ruins of the civilization of Aad, which was mentioned in the Qur’an, because it is called Qusayrat Aad, and because the time is close to this great civilization.
so why arent those statues that look like they are stepping forward not counted as using contrapposto? or at least a transition between the symmetrical and contraposto? the first greek statue (the kritios boy, i had to look it up) that is credited with using contrapposto doesnt look that different to me to alot of those statues in the museum of Egyptian civilization, in the sense that he is also taking one step forward sort of leaving the weight on one leg
It seems as though you’ve answered your own question. Egyptians had a way of expressing forward movement… But the bodies remain quite symmetrical. And there is no indication of the shifting of the weight until tilting of the pelvis that you would expect to see. There’s no reason to believe that Egyptians were not capable of seeing contra, Posto, or depicting it… Their art forms ours were so bound by conventions of representation that it’s hard to know whether they were found that acceptable, or even pleasing
The quantity and quality of Egyptian artifacts is overwhelming. I guess you can get a lot done in 3 thousand years. Great video. Thank you Natalie and David.
Quick update on recent developments, for anyone planning to visit either Giza or the Egyptian Museum, following watching your excellent video guides. Both Giza and the Museum have now moved to electronic only payment for tickets, so you'll have to have either a debit or credit card, and no cash will be accepted; you can also purchase tickets for Giza online (can't for the life of me find the link that someone posted on Trip Advisor), at the moment, with other sites and museums in the process of being added. Can't say whether it's been implemented for Saqqara yet but has been introduced at both Karnak and Luxor Temples. This is a policy that is being extended to all sites and museums. It's also been announced that Khufu's Great Pyramid is being closed to visitors, as of this month, as part of a normal rotation of open monuments on the plateau. Menkaure's Pyramid is reopening to visitors, while that of Khafre is to remain open.
Another fascinating video. I have recommended these videos whenever anyone has expressed an interest in ancient history and archaeology with regret about being unable to visit in person. The inclusion of local food and culture are likely to be even more necessary for people unable to visit the area in person. I spent several weeks there in 1982, and many things that were available then are now eclipsed by even more, one example being the Museum of Egyptian Culture, and the Egyptian Museum has expanded greatly since then. Sitting at my computer, I can re-experience my trip, see more than I was able to see, and then have to track down stuffed grape leaves and Babaganoush to get the atmosphere. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.
Seeing those eyes straight on at 26:34 made my jaw drop. I was already amazed the statues were wooden but my goodness those eyes are amazing. Awesome in the truest sense of the word.
Me, too, Dr Miano! I got to Cairo Museum quite late in the day, had only 2h to look around. The museum’s collection is amazing, but I wish it was tidier and better labeled. Maybe that’s due to moving artefacts to the Grand Museum, just makes it look bit messy. NMEC is fab, the most beautiful and touching is the Royal Mummies room, so sensitively designed and displayed. I felt quite emotional in there. A privilege! Do NOT miss it.
The Cairo Museum was so crowed in the early 1980's, I was afraid to turn around. I, also, held my purse in front of me instead of at my side so that it wouldn't accidentally hit one of the very crowded close artifacts. I had hoped that the new National Museum would ease the over crowding in the Cairo Museum. I guess not.
NMEC was a big disappointment, big but not that rich in artifacts. Mummies were fine. The Egyptian Museum was full of ridiculous amount of people, that I didn't enjoy it that much.
The idea of offering an apartment building in effigy to one or more gods... 😄 The idea that it might be a petition for protection - i'm sure people in all ages could get on board with that, what with natural disasters, and our penchant for engineering, construction, and maintenance debacles.
What a skills had those artisans, what tradition and schooling they must have organised to make such wonderful artwork, minute and gigantic, for like 4000 years (?). Mind-blowing.
ONE museum at a time. I want to know names, dates, type of medium/stone, location of dig, the history gleaned from that dig and time period. EVERYTHING! Even the food. You did not tell us about every bit of food, and the recipe on your plates. Prof Miano, YOU DID US WRONG! Now, go back and do it ALL again, the right way! - Thank you! ;)
🤭 Still it is amazing what some will believe of course. The Egyptians actually believed the spirit of the dead could inhabit a statue of the person and thus hacking the nose off prevented that spirit from being able to breathe = thus making them unable to inhabit said statue. For the ancient Egyptians the thing = the person as symbolism was paramount. Thus defacing statues/depictions carved on temple walls and destroying the "name" of the individual effectively "erased" them in their minds. 🤨
AH Sinuhe.. "surgeon to pharaoh Son of the Wild Ass. novelized by Mika Walter, and made into a movie of the same name with Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Gene Tierney, Peter Ustinov, Directed by Michael Curtiz of Casablanca fame
did you see egyptian gods merged with christian iconography in the coptic museum or only greek?..the egyptian gods had halos(or were they planetos?) which were sometimes white or red.do jesus/mary/saints ever have coloured halos haloes.or cobras stuck to their spams or falcons on their shoulders etc.or rams horns?
The vast amount of masterpieces produced is incredible. It’s no wonder we haven’t seen any aliens in recent years word must of got out about how hard a task master the Egyptians were.
Please do a video on “Daily life in ancient Egypt in the x dynasty”. I realise it can only be a rough approximation but I have no sense of how large the population was and what proportions of the population were involved in different tasks.
I’ve touched a sarcophagus. I was so curious to feel the texture. Yes it’s wrong. How often am I in the presence of a sarcophagus? So far once in my life. It wasn’t meant to disrespect.
absolutely loved this video. not an alien in sight just human endeavour. as someone that worked with an elderly metalworker 1980s that could present metal boxes without welded edges but manufactured from a flat plate just left me in awe of previous ages skill levels. he used 1 hammer and let me watch, i have never matched his skill level but learnt a lot from observing him
It is staggering the continuity of style of art over thousands of years. You see the same stance of the standing statues, over and over, and this appears later in Greece before the Greek classical style changed it all. Ahkenaten works are of course the sometimes bizarre exceptions to the lineage of art.
This was a magnificent tour and I thank you for this effort. I absolutely enjoyed all the exhibits that you captured and wish I could see them for myself! Great video!
Ancient Egypt's MOST AMAZING Artifacts? Really, more like "Ancient Egypt's MOST Average Artifacts because we can't explain the other stuff so, this instead"
Thank you so much for the amazing tour! My cat's name is Cairo! Seeing the mummies of the actual pharoahs was amazing. I especially love Hatshepsut and the Thutmoses1,2and3.Rameses 2 is pretty cool too😉 the food,the folks on horseback,just..i have wanted to see this country since i was a kid. Thanks so much. I love Natalie's hair so pretty,she's adorable(.not to diminish her role as a historian) here is hieroglyph chart i use when teaching afterschool art integration workshops for children😊
Oh woops,it's just a basic hieroglyphic chart translating each glyph into an English letter! We used it to write our names or write secret messages encode!!!unable to paste here! 😢
As a young kid I used to go to the museum in my city and especially enjoyed the Egyptian section with the mummies, sarcophagi, and jewelry. These museums are on another level in terms of the breadth of artifacts; especially those that provide details on daily life and the tools used to create such amazing architecture and infrastructure.
I was in Egypt several years ago and it was an incredible experience. Unfortunately at the time the Coptic Museum was closed for security reason (this was around the time when several Coptic churches were bombed and there anti-Coptic riots in the country) so I was unable to visit it. Thanks for showcasing it on your channel!
Oh wait, your intro "for more videos on ancient history and forgotten civilizations..." If they're forgotten, how do you know about them... HMMMMM?! 🤔🧐 (jokes obv)
I went there about... 22 years ago, more or less. It was an amazing experience. If you want a complete experience, the "Museo egizio di Torino" is the second most important egyptian museum.
It's so wonderful to see footage of artifacts and locations without all the nonsensical conspiracy crap. Anyone else watch Praveen Mohan just to see Hindu temples? 🤣😂😅😪
I was just there two years ago. Loved it, but I would not recommend it for first time travelers. Cairo is intense and the street sellers are aggressive, even at the tourist sites like the Pyramids, Saqqara, etc.
Not a woman = a man. Look at the kilt (shendyt) which is a man's rather than the longer dress as women are depicted with. Also note the position of the hands along the side and the medallion. This individual is likely a high priest or a similar person of status. They are not a Pharaoh however as Pharaohs had crossed arms while royal wives had one arm crossed with the other by the side. So later dynasties saw important individuals such as a high priest be buried in tombs akin to their status and sometimes had a short beard as here. While not a Pharaoh such individuals sometimes acted akin to one having regional control over a Nome.
@@varyolla435 I suppose so. I went back about 15 seconds and the "coffin of Sennedjim" does resemble this "man" (after a fashion) in the part of the video in question. It would make sense if this is an outer sarcophagus to the wooden inner ones. It's hard to tell from the "fly-by" macro zoom.
The Greeks were convinced that Egypt was so old that all civilization must have sprung from there directly And they were only a tiny bit off, that's the crazy part!
A tiny bit? Or maybe our modern general narrative is off? 😊 never underestimate the political agendas influence of a timeperiod that dictates the narrative of a civilizations history.
Indeed I hope we find out how can they achieve such precision First: ua-cam.com/video/WAyQQRNoQaE/v-deo.html Next: ua-cam.com/video/PrhFnai2TGs/v-deo.html Latest Update: ua-cam.com/video/Hxg5cgdOz-Y/v-deo.html
@@raoulduke7668 maybe but the process is not flawed I hope the same scan can be done by experts to the same vases in the museum to prove if that kind of precision is not really possible.
@@nedi6188 weird how we never find any leftovers of these "highly advanced precision tools", only leftovers of the finished products who are definitely more fragile
Question for anyone who knows… I have heard that wooden sculptures in ancient Egypt would be more valuable than stone sculptures due to wood having to be imported where as stone was local and plentiful. Is that accurate?
Possibly. Because it was imported wood clearly held value. Yet the amounts involved and what it becomes also dictates worth. In other words obtaining a small log which is carved into a tiny wooden statue can have aesthetic worth compared to a cruder carved item. Meanwhile obtaining a single log large enough to carve what would become a wooden coffin might be viewed a very valuable since it is more expensive to source a log of sufficient size. So someone importing and selling a 20' log might sell it for more as is opposed to cutting it up into 1' sections as the latter can be sold cheaper to more people. While stone itself was ubiquitous it still had to be shaped. Thus like wood carvings the amount of work involved and the aesthetic qualities lent to its "value". As with all things its "worth" boils down to what someone is willing to pay.

thanks, now i've got the Iphone earworm in my head.
Thank you so much for the amazing tour! My cat's name is Cairo! Seeing the mummies of the actual pharoahs was amazing. I especially love Hatshepsut and the Thutmoses1,2and3.Rameses 2 is pretty cool too😉 the food,the folks on horseback,just..i have wanted to see this country since i was a kid. Thanks so much. I love Natalie's hair so pretty,she's adorable(.not to diminish her role as a historian) here is hieroglyph chart i use when teaching afterschool art integration workshops for children😊
Oh woops,it's just a basic hieroglyphic chart translating each glyph into an English letter! We used it to write our names or write secret messages encode!!!unable to paste here! 😢
Did you find any LAHT artifacts hidden in the deep dark recesses of museum ?
😂😂💀
Natalie is smoking hot! I love her!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for this fascinating story.
As a young kid I used to go to the museum in my city and especially enjoyed the Egyptian section with the mummies, sarcophagi, and jewelry. These museums are on another level in terms of the breadth of artifacts; especially those that provide details on daily life and the tools used to create such amazing architecture and infrastructure.
chisel and hammer probably
Did you notice any evidence of ancient high technology during your visit, or is that a phenomena experienced by those who go looking for it?
😂😂😂😂
@9:33 what deity is that on the right? I’ve never seen that, it’s reminiscent of the Sumerian snake head goddess..
Khnum - God of Fertility/Water = ram headed God. 🐏
I was in Egypt several years ago and it was an incredible experience. Unfortunately at the time the Coptic Museum was closed for security reason (this was around the time when several Coptic churches were bombed and there anti-Coptic riots in the country) so I was unable to visit it. Thanks for showcasing it on your channel!
Oh wait, your intro "for more videos on ancient history and forgotten civilizations..."
If they're forgotten, how do you know about them... HMMMMM?! 🤔🧐 (jokes obv)
Thank you very much.
The Nose-Breaker was there.
where is hemotap
I went there about... 22 years ago, more or less. It was an amazing experience. If you want a complete experience, the "Museo egizio di Torino" is the second most important egyptian museum.
When I visited the Cairo Museum in 2015 photos were not permitted. Glad to see that has changed. Thank you for the excellent Chanel!
It's so wonderful to see footage of artifacts and locations without all the nonsensical conspiracy crap.
Anyone else watch Praveen Mohan just to see Hindu temples? 🤣😂😅😪
What an intriguing Hostess😮
Thanks for this great video David. It takes me directly to Egypt. Really appreciated.
I was just there two years ago. Loved it, but I would not recommend it for first time travelers. Cairo is intense and the street sellers are aggressive, even at the tourist sites like the Pyramids, Saqqara, etc.
@8:15 Who is the woman with the false beard? Hatsheput? Sobekneferu?
Not a woman = a man. Look at the kilt (shendyt) which is a man's rather than the longer dress as women are depicted with. Also note the position of the hands along the side and the medallion. This individual is likely a high priest or a similar person of status. They are not a Pharaoh however as Pharaohs had crossed arms while royal wives had one arm crossed with the other by the side.
So later dynasties saw important individuals such as a high priest be buried in tombs akin to their status and sometimes had a short beard as here. While not a Pharaoh such individuals sometimes acted akin to one having regional control over a Nome.
@@varyolla435 I suppose so. I went back about 15 seconds and the "coffin of Sennedjim" does resemble this "man" (after a fashion) in the part of the video in question. It would make sense if this is an outer sarcophagus to the wooden inner ones. It's hard to tell from the "fly-by" macro zoom.
What a beautiful trip and I’m so amazed to se all of the beautiful artifacts and the city you where in👍😀
You make great content videos, but please don't add music. It is merely distracting and not needed.
The production value is great and always getting better. The thmbnail could improve to link better with the content
Absolutely wonderful series. Almost feel like I don't need to go there myself anymore. Almost....
Love you brother, I doubt I will ever have the privilege of visiting these sites, so I am living vicariously through you two and your friends!
This was such a great video, thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure.
Amazing!
Amazing.
Very well presented. Congratulations to you both.
The terra cotta warriors remind me of some of those statues in the stanceses in pRticulaf
That food looks superb !!! And also the Egypt !!!
Your audience in Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤
Oh man this is such a bucket list trip for me! ❤ thanks for sharing
come on bro dont say you didn't have a day to spend at the Cairo museum?
The Greeks were convinced that Egypt was so old that all civilization must have sprung from there directly
And they were only a tiny bit off, that's the crazy part!
A tiny bit? Or maybe our modern general narrative is off? 😊 never underestimate the political agendas influence of a timeperiod that dictates the narrative of a civilizations history.
Thank you so much for the images !!! 😄👌
The lifelike statue with the jewel eyes is amazing ...
The workmanship and finishing goes without saying, but also the design and proportions of everything is so wonderfully considered. They were maestros!
Indeed I hope we find out how can they achieve such precision

@@nedi6188 unchartedX is a quack
@@raoulduke7668 maybe but the process is not flawed I hope the same scan can be done by experts to the same vases in the museum to prove if that kind of precision is not really possible.
@@nedi6188 weird how we never find any leftovers of these "highly advanced precision tools", only leftovers of the finished products who are definitely more fragile
@@raoulduke7668 its also weird that the transfer of knowledge to do this product diminish thru time
Question for anyone who knows… I have heard that wooden sculptures in ancient Egypt would be more valuable than stone sculptures due to wood having to be imported where as stone was local and plentiful. Is that accurate?
Possibly. Because it was imported wood clearly held value. Yet the amounts involved and what it becomes also dictates worth. In other words obtaining a small log which is carved into a tiny wooden statue can have aesthetic worth compared to a cruder carved item. Meanwhile obtaining a single log large enough to carve what would become a wooden coffin might be viewed a very valuable since it is more expensive to source a log of sufficient size. So someone importing and selling a 20' log might sell it for more as is opposed to cutting it up into 1' sections as the latter can be sold cheaper to more people.
While stone itself was ubiquitous it still had to be shaped. Thus like wood carvings the amount of work involved and the aesthetic qualities lent to its "value". As with all things its "worth" boils down to what someone is willing to pay.
