I’m Egyptian and I would like to thank you for mentioning the camels thing. People think camels are part of our heritage and culture but it’s totally not. It’s only available at touristic sites for merely commercial purposes. Unlike what people may think, we are much more about agriculture than desert stuff. The pyramids were surrounded by agricultural land until a century ago. Most of our traditions and habits are strongly related to the agricultural nature of old Egypt.

WHY..would anyone wear black in the sun? Black attracts the heat of the sun to unbearable levels...black cannot reflect light thus absorbs it many times more than a light colour. Its why theres no black cars in very hot cities in the Middle east

The great pyramid isn't a tomb...no body was found, and it has none of the markings found in other tombs.

A blonde mummy in Egypt is very interesting.

Cuneiform is the oldest known written language, not hieroglyphics !

Animals eating is pagan to ancient Egypt. Pheros are resting at the valley of kings. Pyramids are not tombs. STOP SPREADING AN OLD LAUGHABLE LIE. We have laughed enough.

Observation - in these documentaries all the tomb paintings that we are privileged to see are bathed in artificial light - very fortunate to see them displayed in their full glory - imagine the time and conditions in when these were created - the craftsmen would have been in darkness save for the dull glow of oil lamps which throw very little light - and no they would have not used flaming torches which leave soot trails.

She says the world's first writing is from Egypt?? I'm sure it is not as the world's first writing system is cuneiform from Mesopotamia by the Sumerians. Good video but that really bothered me.

According to ancient Egyptians own writings, their civilisation began around 12000 BCE. They acknopwledged it was after another era that ended in a cataclysm, much as we in the West console ourselves with the Deluge and Noah's ark as the beginning. I insist it is about time our politicians aloow our historians to tell the real stories instead of the fairy tales they use to sooth the population into eternal sleep.

i wonder wht's u under the desert! if we can only take out all.the sands covering the desert, perhaps more buried magnificent temples and palaces are buried beneth the sand. i.would think we have only uncover small fraction of that vast desert.

The African Americans that were transported mostly from west Africa had no history to cling to so they disparately are trying to claim Egyptians were black. Egyptians were caucasoids same as today and left arts and writing depicting clear differenes between them and African blacks. Mummies and writing every where in egypt proves the same. Egyptians are not black today or one thousand years ago or 5000 years ago. Historians do not pay attention to afrocentric black maniacs in America because they would claim that the moon was visited by Africans very time soon. If you have no history then claim one. That is what people that where migrated from west Africa few hundred years ago are thinking today. They have nothing to be proud of historically so they manufactured lies that do not stand a chance in the books of history and archeology. They see every thing in black white or yellow. So if a civilization on the medeterranian that is not built by European master's must be built by blacks..what a non logic

Good documentary, just a tiny correction... I believe Sumerian was the world's first written language. Hundreds years earlier and letter, not pictograph based. Few ziggurats are also older than pyramids. Mesopotamia (currently Syria/Iran/Iraq) seems a bit more accurate as the actual cradle of modern civilization that later influenced the Egyptians, Greeks and eventually Romans. https://youtu.be/Wo6OO992ywI?t=1911

The worship of Hathor goddess being a cow must come from ancient India? ?? Egyptian clay is not terracotta so where did the terracotta pots come From? At 58.48 the Mummy has blond hair? What is the explanation for that?
