This was awesome. Thank you for sharing!

20:31 Thank you for the presentation. I am glad that Dr Bryan juxtaposed these two images. I am not an Egyptologist, but my impression is that the space was sacred to the Ancient Egyptians which does not explain the respective isolated inscriptions they allegedly carved both at Karnak’s Temple of Mut and at Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple. The rest (of the respective) columns are empty. Could someone explain this to me, please? Thank you.

Hathor is a more recent aspect of Sekhmet ❤

33:41 Why the marked differences in craftsmanship between these two? The one on the left is quite ugly and the execution is sloppy. Were they made in different times?

The statues were made from Granite? How incredible no wonder they lasted so long, the people knew exactly how to discover granite to have these statues last.
