The glorious Fayum mummy portraits are some of my very favourite artefacts of both Classical Antiquity, and Egyptian history, as they are not only stunningly beautiful and lifelike, they also give us insight into Egyptian funerary practices of that era and how it had absorbed foreign traditions, and they are by far the largest portion of what remains of the ancient Hellenic traditions of painting, and were some of the finest works of brush until the Renaissance - even though they were mere portraits of upper-middle-class nobodies, painted by unknowns.
Great stuff mate. With Lahun they could and perhaps did leave the bedrock work until later in the process. Maybe ran out of time, or money. Great photography and that means a lot. Having a camera is one thing but putting it to good use is another. Great output mate, always good to hear from you.
Here's a thought, I wonder if the 1000th inch variance on the lines of the Sarcophagus was a result of a specific mason (or mason lineage) using a favorite tool on many projects and inevitably a slight wearing away of the actual tool is the root cause of the variance. Sounds like a thesis topic, if such detailed mason records are available. Thx to you and Natalie for bringing us along!
Key takeaway: Petrie using a string plumb line was able to ascertain accuracy within thousands of an inch + the Egyptians had a measurement system capable of ascertaining accuracy levels to the same degree. Remember this when people prattle on about "precision".
@@thealmightyaku-4153 Yes. There are examples of such tools in museums today. In a few rare instances tombs of master craftsmen who were wealthy enough to be buried with the tools of their trade and not see their tombs looted provided us with examples of such tools. We also have depictions of Egyptian craftsmen at work in tomb depictions and temple iconography.
Measurement precision and construction precision are two separate topics. Lifting 30 tons 30 meters to a fraction of an inch accuracy is something worth a lot of discussion.
@@Will-Parr No discussion needed... *Step 1:* Get the heavy thing to roughly where you want it. *Step 2:* Gradually finesse the heavy thing to exactly where you want it. Never had to move anything heavy, have you? What a nice life you've had.
Its still there buried 20 - 50 meters below the surface. Hawara was scanned in 2008 by a Belgian team. The mataha expedition team confirmed there are very large structures beneath the hawara desert. And it stretched for 300 meters. So its huge!
At 16:47 you can see clearly the king's menat necklace similar to the bust at the Cairo Museum ( Amenemhat iii in priestly costumes)found at Fayum in 1862 by Auguste Mariette. In this case the king he's wearing nothing, however he's holding a some sort of staff maybe would be a flail or the heqa sign. For the headress i suppose that is wearing the crown of lower or upper Egypt, might also both.
Miniminuteman, Milo Rossi, explained this phenomenon. It is a sort of cultural racism. That someone invokes personal incredulity in that they cannot personally understand how some "brown people" were capable of engineering feats without modern tools. Graham Hancock insists on a globe-spanning civilization taught all these distinct groups how to build these ancient structures. No matter that we don't have evidence of this globe-spanning civilization, no bodies, Graves, pottery, links between ancient cultures, nothing. No, it had to be a race of white Ubermench, Super men, Caucasians that did everything.
@@tripolarmdisorder7696 The 'racism' narrative is demonstrably false. I have consumed hundreds of hours of media on Ancient Egypt, including from advocates of Atlantis, and nowhere do any of them argue that race plays any part in the bewildering capabilities of these Ancient peoples. I'm a brown girl from the Philippines. I don't insert race into ANY of this stuff and I listen for when others do because it marks a person's position as silly whenever they introduce racial superiority as a key factor in their arguments. Right now, in this area of conversation, the only people who consistently introduce race as a factor are those with positions aligning to yours. To me, that is a strong indication that YOUR position is the silly one, and that doesn't help anyone engaged with the topic.
For me, what draws me in is the idea that Ancient Egypt was an empire that lasted over two thousand years. That kind of longevity requires a LOT of extremely strong cultural fundamentals. It's common for nations to rise quickly and fall quickly. But for nations to last THOUSANDS of years is proof that they had a lot of things going very, very right for them. I come to you this topic hoping to learn what those things might have been. Geography is certainly a big factor. They had deserts acting as armor against invasion to east and to west, and they had endless water supply from the Nile. Those are big factors, but they are not enough. The widespread use of psychedelics is also something that seems different from modern culture, so I get to wonder how that might have factored. But in over two thousand years, 'race' would have changed, and DID change several times in Egypt, which points to the culture as a dominant factor in their sustained success.
@@zadenwachter9918 Except that Hancock has made any number of problematic statements involving race. In Fingerprints of the Gods he identified the civilizing agents in the Americas as white or light-skinned. Going so far as to find proof of this by claiming that there were statues that looked "distinctly caucasian" to him. In the face of criticism for this he later modified that to something along the line of "distinctly non-Indigenous." Also interesting to note that he asserted that the Maya had to have had outside help because he found it hard to believe that "jungle-dwelling Indians" developed math and architecture on their own. Maybe you don't see a problem with that but enough people do to merit discussion of the matter.

What the surveys revealed could pave the way towards one of the greatest discoveries in ancient Egypt - the scanned area showed strong suggestion of a vast number of chambers and walls several metres thick. Below the stone slab, at a depth of 8 to 12 metres, they found a grid structure of gigantic size made of a very high resistivity material, such as granite.

@@NoMoreMrNice I did a whole video on that. ua-cam.com/video/dzvfiutSDsE/v-deo.html On another channel, I even had a discussion with the guy who claimed to have found it, and he walked it back.
MY! for some reason your videos are no longer part of my algorithm, I've been sitting here for 2 days trying to remember the channel name KNOWING I've been subscribed for a long time, I thought they put you on the black list.
In so many of the outdoor scenes I can't help thinking that they are having a horrible drought. I wonder how much of the stark conditions are due to long-term misuse of the land by humans.... Some videos on how various ancient cultures used/misused their lands (and how weather/climate changes affected them) would be good.
Still find it inconsistent that from at least the 5th dynasty where the walls, ceiling and sarcophagi are painted and have writing all over them, there isn't a single sign of that for Sensuret supposed tomb. This would also be the case for other great pyramids like Khufu etc... I'm not saying Dynastic Egyptians didn't build everything there, only that some things speculated (and they are speculated), to me don't hold much evidence to support it. Even if thieves plundered the burial chambers, you can't convince me that they robbed the artwork too. That's funny to watch people adamant about that theory try. In other burial chambers of dynastic pharaohs, you find wooden artifacts as well, and even in plundered sites you can still find remnants. Yet not in this place, or again, Khufu's pyramid. Why is that?
All through Egyptian history, sometimes the walls of tombs are decorated, and sometimes not. I don't know where people get this idea that Egypt could only do tombs one way.
@@WorldofAntiquity you see I find that very funny. So we're not to disparage a people's ability to manufacture things never adequately depicted in their writing, or their artwork, nor the tools found at that period.... However, when they demonstrate these abilities if we're to believe they were capable, as well as how talented they were through so much art, statues, and writing on just about everything, (not to mention the importance of said Pharoahs again and their projects), and yet your answer is that not all were decorated? Huh. Profound.
Look around you. I'll bet you see all manner of architectural styles reflected in houses and buildings in your community as well as others. So why then should it be any different in the past....... Different Pharaohs/architects invariably generate different constructions. While the premise behind their creation might be the same - religious beliefs in this case - how that manifests itself is contingent upon available resources for somethings' creation + styles of the then time which change just as today + and finally a need to "stand out" somehow against your peers. There are umpteen churches as an example in countries around the world. Yet despite all being Christian churches or Jewish Temples or even Muslim Mosques = they are stylistically different are they not. Final thought. Early in the Old Kingdom when dynastic Egypt first came into fruition the Pharaohs reigned supreme. Yet as the centuries ticked by and Egypt expanded its wealth and power that required an ever increasing bureaucracy to support the State. Consequently whereas early on such "bureaucrats" had basic tombs one then sees after a few centuries where tombs of Viziers etc. began to be more ornate - on par with the tombs of some Pharaohs. So what does this mean??? It means that the bureaucrats grew in wealth and power and the Pharaohs exercised less direct control. So the Pharaohs then likely lacked the resources for massive building projects like say Khufu's Pyramid and compensated via smaller tombs = but more ornate ones. Remember that from the 4th Dynasty on the Pharaohs assumed the mantle of Ra incarnate creating cults around themselves. This means they put more resources in affirming that divine status via spells etc. on their tomb walls rather than the basic structure of the tomb itself. You see this in the video about changing pyramid designs. The pyramid itself became less important than the surrounding temple complex which is where offerings were made and the Pharaoh's cult status reaffirmed. p.s. - Senusret ruled during the Middle Kingdom. While Egypt once again was united for a time it was still a fraction of what Egypt represented during the Old Kingdom period at its height. So he was Pharaoh over a smaller and less wealthy/powerful Egypt compared to the earlier Old Kingdom Pharaohs. Then as now you got what you could afford.
@@francischambless5919 I am not sure why you think it is funny that the Egyptians sometimes decorated the walls and sometimes didn't. We have variety in our own culture too. You seem to think there is a big difference between the architectural styles. There isn't.
@@varyolla435 what you guys are doing is subjective. You're speculating based on your own opinions. Based on how YOU see evidence. I think it's arrogant and egotistical to be so dismissive when others point out these inconsistencies basing them on numerous evidence they observe. Sure, my thoughts are speculative as well, but my points are valid, nonetheless. I don't buy your reasoning and when I have time I'll write more of what those are.

These weren’t built for tombs, maybe when they were taken over after the flood and turned into tombs, but they weren’t built as tombs. they were your Duponts and your BASF’s of the world.
Egypt was always diverse, you'd have natives, Nubians, Jews, Greeks etc. living close by, some in their own communities others mixed with general populace. This happens when you are a major trading hub.
ROSE GRANITE, inner Chamber is like some other ones, of Europe or Asia, right? Can't they pump water out, & excavate more? Or have they before? I'm guessing maybe there is still a Massive amount of Structures still underground. 🛖🪨🗽
No. The Black Pyramid was built upon low ground and is today near the Nile floodplain. When the Aswan Dam was built in the 1960's the "unintended consequence" was that groundwater levels around Egypt rose. Think about it. Whereby prior the Nile would flood for a time each year and after that the "pulse water" would pass and the land would dry out = today the Dam causes that water to be held in place - letting it out a little at a time + creating Lake Nasser. So the water of Lake Nasser wants to move downhill towards the sea but is unable and as a result the pressure is forcing underground aquifers along the banks of the Nile to raise in volume the water they hold. This is what happened with the Sphinx. The underground water levels around Giza are rising. Subsequently underground water pumps had to be installed to lower those aquifers and divert that water away from the necropolis. The water below the Black Pyramid is coming from the Nile valley itself. As fast as you might try to drain it = more would simply seep in. Also the substructure of the pyramid was built of mud brick upon a clay foundation - hence why the water is not held back. That layer of water can also serve as a mechanism for preventing further collapse. In other words if all the water below was drained away that "cushion of water" which holds the ground above in place now being gone might cause that ground = to collapse.

Some videos on how various ancient cultures used/misused their lands (and how weather/climate changes affected them) would be good.
he's here all week folks!
Egypt is just naturally extremely dry, a guy I used to know moved from Egypt to Malaysia and got absolutely destroyed by comparable humidity.
The obvious question to ask is, what did the Egyptians use for lighting in these tunnels?
Oil lamps
@@WorldofAntiquity would that not leave soot marks on the ceiling or does oil burn clean?
Must do.
Bet this question has been asked before?
@@jimtripman9002Many times.
@@rosifervincent9481
I thought so, but, has there been a credible answer?
@@jimtripman9002 It depends on what you believe is credible.
Where have you looked for answers, other than UA-cam?
Woah those look like the tunnels Hamas uses

Still find it inconsistent that from at least the 5th dynasty where the walls, ceiling and sarcophagi are painted and have writing all over them, there isn't a single sign of that for Sensuret supposed tomb. This would also be the case for other great pyramids like Khufu etc... I'm not saying Dynastic Egyptians didn't build everything there, only that some things speculated (and they are speculated), to me don't hold much evidence to support it. Even if thieves plundered the burial chambers, you can't convince me that they robbed the artwork too. That's funny to watch people adamant about that theory try. In other burial chambers of dynastic pharaohs, you find wooden artifacts as well, and even in plundered sites you can still find remnants. Yet not in this place, or again, Khufu's pyramid. Why is that?
All through Egyptian history, sometimes the walls of tombs are decorated, and sometimes not. I don't know where people get this idea that Egypt could only do tombs one way.
@@WorldofAntiquity you see I find that very funny. So we're not to disparage a people's ability to manufacture things never adequately depicted in their writing, or their artwork, nor the tools found at that period.... However, when they demonstrate these abilities if we're to believe they were capable, as well as how talented they were through so much art, statues, and writing on just about everything, (not to mention the importance of said Pharoahs again and their projects), and yet your answer is that not all were decorated? Huh. Profound.
Look around you. I'll bet you see all manner of architectural styles reflected in houses and buildings in your community as well as others. So why then should it be any different in the past....... Different Pharaohs/architects invariably generate different constructions.
While the premise behind their creation might be the same - religious beliefs in this case - how that manifests itself is contingent upon available resources for somethings' creation + styles of the then time which change just as today + and finally a need to "stand out" somehow against your peers. There are umpteen churches as an example in countries around the world. Yet despite all being Christian churches or Jewish Temples or even Muslim Mosques = they are stylistically different are they not.
Final thought. Early in the Old Kingdom when dynastic Egypt first came into fruition the Pharaohs reigned supreme. Yet as the centuries ticked by and Egypt expanded its wealth and power that required an ever increasing bureaucracy to support the State. Consequently whereas early on such "bureaucrats" had basic tombs one then sees after a few centuries where tombs of Viziers etc. began to be more ornate - on par with the tombs of some Pharaohs. So what does this mean??? It means that the bureaucrats grew in wealth and power and the Pharaohs exercised less direct control. So the Pharaohs then likely lacked the resources for massive building projects like say Khufu's Pyramid and compensated via smaller tombs = but more ornate ones.
Remember that from the 4th Dynasty on the Pharaohs assumed the mantle of Ra incarnate creating cults around themselves. This means they put more resources in affirming that divine status via spells etc. on their tomb walls rather than the basic structure of the tomb itself. You see this in the video about changing pyramid designs. The pyramid itself became less important than the surrounding temple complex which is where offerings were made and the Pharaoh's cult status reaffirmed.
p.s. - Senusret ruled during the Middle Kingdom. While Egypt once again was united for a time it was still a fraction of what Egypt represented during the Old Kingdom period at its height. So he was Pharaoh over a smaller and less wealthy/powerful Egypt compared to the earlier Old Kingdom Pharaohs. Then as now you got what you could afford.
@@francischambless5919 I am not sure why you think it is funny that the Egyptians sometimes decorated the walls and sometimes didn't. We have variety in our own culture too. You seem to think there is a big difference between the architectural styles. There isn't.
@@varyolla435 what you guys are doing is subjective. You're speculating based on your own opinions. Based on how YOU see evidence. I think it's arrogant and egotistical to be so dismissive when others point out these inconsistencies basing them on numerous evidence they observe. Sure, my thoughts are speculative as well, but my points are valid, nonetheless. I don't buy your reasoning and when I have time I'll write more of what those are.

Why???
These weren’t built for tombs, maybe when they were taken over after the flood and turned into tombs, but they weren’t built as tombs. they were your Duponts and your BASF’s of the world.
There is absolutely no archaeological or epigraphic evidence supporting your theory

The pyramids were never TOMBS,never..
Okay, Mr. Nobody With No Qualifications.
Always. Pyramids were always tombs, all the time... in fact tons of small tombs have pyramids on them too.
I wish you would really apply scientific thought processes, field data, and on-site investigation. Oh...
that intro was bad... egypt is NOT the homeland of all those civilisations that you mentioned...
I didn't mention any civilizations. I mentioned people. And wherever people live, that is their home.
Egypt was always diverse, you'd have natives, Nubians, Jews, Greeks etc. living close by, some in their own communities others mixed with general populace. This happens when you are a major trading hub.
ROSE GRANITE, inner Chamber is like some other ones, of Europe or Asia, right? Can't they pump water out, & excavate more? Or have they before? I'm guessing maybe there is still a Massive amount of Structures still underground. 🛖🪨🗽
No. The Black Pyramid was built upon low ground and is today near the Nile floodplain. When the Aswan Dam was built in the 1960's the "unintended consequence" was that groundwater levels around Egypt rose. Think about it. Whereby prior the Nile would flood for a time each year and after that the "pulse water" would pass and the land would dry out = today the Dam causes that water to be held in place - letting it out a little at a time + creating Lake Nasser.
So the water of Lake Nasser wants to move downhill towards the sea but is unable and as a result the pressure is forcing underground aquifers along the banks of the Nile to raise in volume the water they hold. This is what happened with the Sphinx. The underground water levels around Giza are rising. Subsequently underground water pumps had to be installed to lower those aquifers and divert that water away from the necropolis.
The water below the Black Pyramid is coming from the Nile valley itself. As fast as you might try to drain it = more would simply seep in. Also the substructure of the pyramid was built of mud brick upon a clay foundation - hence why the water is not held back. That layer of water can also serve as a mechanism for preventing further collapse. In other words if all the water below was drained away that "cushion of water" which holds the ground above in place now being gone might cause that ground = to collapse.
