The video is great as your all videos.. I liked in it the Egyptian workers are in a simple state (their clothes), we miss the simplicity these days.

[@claudiamanta1943]

The amount of nonsense and blatant lies about Ancient Egypt that has been served for millennia is staggering.

[@mylittlemultiverse]

The amount of ignorance of those who are unable or unwilling to study the scholarly literature in the libraries is staggering. - - - Why don't you go to university to study Egyptology and learn to read hieroglyphs yourself? Then you will see who is telling the lies, the archaeologists or the conspiracy theorists on the Internet.

@@mylittlemultiverse Have you made an effort to be callous or it’s something that surfaces effortlessly from your character? Are you an arsehole in all the layers of your multiverse? What kind a name is that, anyway? Once upon a time, brats were hiding behind their Mum’s skirts, not they hide behind pseudonyms. Grow- up.
I cannot afford to study properly. And I have tried to study hieroglyphs. Little that I know, there are lies on top of honest mistakes. Egyptology is very politicised and politically correct as not to upset quite a few apple carts.
