Yes you can!

Some portions were painted, and since warn off, others were never finished being painted, because Perneb died before completing his tomb. Likely this tomb is of higher quality than the mudbrick home he lived in. He would have diverted valuable energies and resources away from earthly investments towards this elaborate tomb.

It's spelled Smaug.

😂😂

I noticed that. He’s going for a romantic historical feeling but wearing Mexican cloths 😂

If he looped it more the universe might collapse

They = The EEF, MMA, and/or Egyptian Government.

@@PapyrusPunditwhat is the EEF?

@@MargaretWolk The Egypt Exploration Fund was responsible for many archeological dig sites in the early 20th century.

I haven’t studied them in school but I took an online class 😅 Briar’s Great Courses Hieroglyphic lectures - on KZbin I think

Yeah I think my opening image sank the video. Ave view duration 48% or 2.5 min which is 20% below success/growth range.

Fair point. Something to grab attention immediately

@@PapyrusPunditlove that you can look at all the viewing data. Data is beautiful!

The loop is the best!

Thank you!

Thank you for this criticism @colbiashimaru. Your point about it not feeling genuine with the promise of things you've never seen before is actually extremely helpful. I do wonder if it feels more genuine for a promise like this to be in a long-form video. I have read that making promises at the beginning of a long-form video is good for maintaining viewership, hence why I chose to add it here. - I tend to post about 3 different types of shorts: 1: trailers for episodes like this (usually relatively low views and low sub count) 2: Short cuts of full length episodes which show just a small portion of what's in that episode (relatively medium views with medium sub count) 3: Cuts of travel events such as being chased by wild dogs, strange scammers approaching me, strange cultural events etc. (Higher views with lower sub count) - My posting logic with this video revolves around pulling in a large number of subscribers to the channel relative to view count. With currently 700 views on this video in 3 hrs + 7 subscribers gained from this video, this video is technically a success compared with most shorts I've posted. My average subscriber gain per short is 3-5 subs, with an average of about 2k views per short. Getting a high number of views on a short is arguably not that valuable, since my channel is really all about long-form videos. Ultimately doesn't seem like you can make $ from shorts anyway, especially with this type of content (Egypt, history, travel, categories that have low virility) - Video trailers usually don't do well on shorts but this was an easy cut to make and post, less than 1 hr of work. Weighed against added subs, it seems like a success. Then there's the whole conversation of whether these are high-value subs (willing to watch long-form content on my channel) or low-value subs (low attention span, watches shorts only). Still unsure how that shakes out. - Ultimately, I don't want to post shorts at all but about 70% of my subscribers have come from the 80+ shorts that I've posted. - To answer your other question: yes, this is the sort of content I enjoy making, though of course editing shorts isn't that exciting nor do I truly innovate the process beyond altering footage originally intended for long-form videos. - Thanks for letting me bounce these ideas of you and for your honest feedback. Best, PP

@@PapyrusPundit thanks for the opportunity to have insight onto your situation. Your reasoning all sounds pretty sound, and honestly it seems like you already have your head wrapped around all of this more than i could have, which makes sense. I agree with what you said, the way in which you go about things seems to be efficient and with purpose, so honestly if things work out how you said, id just keep doing what you are doing. Its cool to be able to look in to what someone else is doing and see what progress or improvement can be made, it makes me happy to know that you actually give some care and thought into it

What do you use it for?

That’s a good idea when the cops show up just say you’re thirsty 😅

@@PapyrusPundit 😆

I am aware the pyramids have been carbon dated. I did not state that they were not dated. I said it would be easier to date the pyramids if there were more intact objects and material from the site.

​@@PapyrusPundit Well, you are talking about stripping away archeological evidence that would make it easier to date the pyramid - such as what? If dynamite, or another destructive method, wasn't used to open the relieving chambers, would we ever know about the hieroglyphs in the upper most relieving? Archeology is definitely a double edge sword.

@@catman8965pretty much anything can be used for dating depending on context. So much has been stripped away in the last 200 years it’s quite serious. Even now there are men in the night pulling stones from Giza to sell and recycle as antiquities. Most egregious examples that we know of could be the notch or step at the pyramid’s center which has been cemented over, and the last known fragment of the portcullis stones which was removed sometime in the last 75 years never to be seen again. The whole dynamite thing was crazy in retrospect and can’t be undone so hindsight is somewhat a waist of time… but yeah it would have been discovered and probed properly if they hadn’t done that. Actually the graffiti is a little problematic and inconclusive so it would have been much more beneficial to Egyptology if its discovery was more recent.

That old saying 😂

😂 you’re killin’ me Smalls. All silliness aside, such cool info. I suppose it does make sense that the guys who are being trained to dig by the professionals but probably not paid much would take those skills to their back yards. Side note I am appalled and saddened by the closeted guy. Don’t want you in the situation but what a lonely life for him. And then the fear he must have felt when he was denied.

On god fr

You're talking about THOUSANDS of yrs ago buddy... take a breath

Can you imagine the rotten mentality it requires to tell someone that you have to go to some building, get in a closet where you have to tell some stranger all the "bad things" you've done, or else when you die you'll be tortured for eternity?

Remember what i wrote, gentlemen. Before this year is over, you will hear or read about a present day situation that will trigger this memory. I don't give a fk about ancient people. Situations like this aren't ancient, though.

Have a phenomenal weekend

I will have to check that out on my visit to Thailand next year

Someone actually got arrested for doing the same exact thing a month later. Just a decade ago anyone could walk around the tombs but now the gov’t is cracking down. Too many robberies.

Yes, the best of them are in museums all over the world. Most of them are so destroyed not worth moving.

@@steezyshreder I ate too many cOoKiEs..

@@elliani530 oh I didn’t even think of that

All damage occurred after her death. Most of the damage occurred during the reign of Thutmose III, her nephew and successor. Most of the damage was limited to imagery that depicted her as pharaoh, not imagery that depicted her prior to being pharaoh. So one interpretation is that they were trying to eliminate evidence of a female pharaoh, but not actually wiping her from existence.

They tend to be broken. If you smash the nose you take away the statue’s power.

About 4,500 years it has been illegal to dig in the night on this side of the Nile. Of course sometimes there is no one to enforce the rules or the enforcers of the rules are the ones who dig.

Yes, she was raised in a den of vipers. From an early age, she was taught that if she didn't look out for #1 she would lose her head.

@@Colby-n4n they can’t understand or accept where they end and another person begins. This lack of boundary awareness causes a need to control beyond their bounds and leads to all kinds of dysfunctions. It’s sad in a way, they’re prisoners of their own psychosis.

A big wup that ended the 3,000 year saga of ancient Egypt.

Thank you for your comment @msrichycon I would love to meet this person on my next trip to Egypt. Feel free to reach out to me via my private email [email protected]

@@PapyrusPundit i will find out the name for you no problem give me a few days

Hi there found out the name for you.. v67p+m38 blue lotus guesthouse sakara saqhara badrshein giza govermorate 3355403 Egypt.. hope you find it good luck he is a very nice guy with lots of stories to tell I can't remember his name..they do a great buffet lunch too

In some cases yes. They at least are the beneficiaries of the robbing, as you must first bribe them in order to be allowed to rob the tombs.

Both got bribes, and both got a nice desert.

Thank you Larry for this insightful comment. I’m tempted to take some of your eloquent phrasing and add it to a future episode.

Yes, a lot of Egyptian tomb robbery was done by the relatives of the deceased. But it’s still a bit sketchy, right? Pulling the gold teeth out of your grandfather’s skull?

@@PapyrusPundit tomb robbing has a date, eye AM only assuming , the weight of wealth uplifted fits the description of a funded exploration, getting others to do the dirty work

I started responding to this comment before realizing that I smell a gas leak and you’re the one holding the match.

LOL
