There's a reason Tutankhamun's tomb was able to remain undisturbed for over 3000 years. This was because during the reign of Horemheb, a lot of angry priests and nobles who were around during Akhenaten's reign did everything in their power to erase his hated legacy. Not only did they ransack his tomb and deface his statues, but also had any mention of him erased from the records. As a result, all trace of Akhenaten's life and history was expunged from the records, and this extended to his family, which included his son Tutankhamun. Fortunately for Tutankhamun, although some of the contents of his tomb had been stolen by early grave-robbers, much of the treasure he was buried with remained intact. Due to all record of him being destroyed, nobody would try to look for his tomb. Thus leaving him to rest peacefully in the afterlife for the next three millennium, that was until his tomb was discovered in 1922.

[@villevalste1888]

And boy, was he in for a rude awakening. They took his stuff and made him a tourist attraction. Today his body is on full display at the site and there's even been talk of sending him to a museum, where the rest of his stuff was already sent.

[@wilsontheconqueror8101]

His tomb had also been buried in a series of floods. Which covered it with mud & debris.

[@punkthatiscyber9091]

One huge reason was also his successor, Ay. Tutankhamun's tomb is also one of the smaller tombs a pharaoh was laid in. That's because he was laid to rest in a tomb that wasn't meant for a pharaoh. Ay was an advisor to the throne and related to the recent rulers. Some tombs in the valley belonged to important officials and relatives to the kings like Ay was. But, when he took over, Ay put Tutankhamun into the tomb meant for himself, while he arranged to be buried into the pharaoh's tomb. Basically, grave robbers only tried so hard to crack into Tut's tomb because they thought it was only some official, not a Pharaoh

[@sidjoosin6549]

main reason is for civilized nations to raid someone`s tomb seeking shiny stuff or corpses - action preseved only for lowest of criminals, and only when barbarians from Europe took over Egypt in 19 century they begun raiding tombs in industrial scale and openly. It was never allowed in such barbaric fashion as nowadays - nor by Assyrians, nor by Persians, nor by Greeks, nor by Romans, nor by Arabs.

[@Scorpion51123314512]

Another thing many don't realize is another big reason his tomb was able to be undisturbed for over 3000 years is their will always be flooding in the Valley of the kings which always brought a lot of huge rocks which buried the entrance to his steps leading down to his tomb door and it pretty much buried his entire tomb area. Which also explains why a lot Pharaoh's arts in many tombs in the Valley are wiped off the walls. Pharaoh Tutankhamun's original burial place was suppose to be in the Tomb Pharaoh Ay (his successor) was buried in.

Kemet literally means "Black Land" ("Kem" meaning black in ancient Egyptian). The name referred to how the soil would appear with the flooding of the Nile, which was great for farming, as well as the fact that dark soil is some of the best soil for farming. So Kemet was essentially the strip of cultivated area along the Nile valley, the place where the Ancient Egyptian civilization prospered for over three thousand years.

[@BilalMarcus]

Thats what he said in the video

[@Xalerdane]

Black: the color of life, fertility, and crop-bearing soil. Red: the color of the dry, deadly desert. The source of mineral wealth, but harsh and dangerous.

[@kgkg4118]

Kemet referred to the people not the soil. The more accurate translation would be "the black nation" but no one is ready for that conversation

[@Comrade_Marius]

@@kgkg4118wouldn’t make sense, fertile soil is black, Egypt is known for its fertile soil, hence the name. Plus Egyptians weren’t black, Nubians were. Hence why your “conversation” isn’t being told academically.

[@kgkg4118]

@@Comrade_Marius so Egyptians weren't black but Nubians were? That makes sense to you? Can you name any two countries on this planet that border each other where the *native* people are totally different races? Where did the Egyptians originate? According to them it was the foothills of the "Mountains of the moon" in sub-Saharan Africa. At what point after moving North along the Nile did they become "non-black"? Granted later dynasties of Egyptians were mixed with Western Asians (and later Southern Europeans) who came to their land, so they may have been lighter than their cousins to the South in later dynasties but they weren't a completely different race, in fact I would argue there was no people closer to Egyptians than Nubians both culturally and historically

Punt is known to be modern day Somalia. What made Punt a valuable trading partner was how far away it was. No other powers near Egypt new of its existence or traded with it. This allowed Egypt to have exclusive access to its products. When the Greeks and Romans took Egypt, the Egyptians made the same sea journey every July or Thoth to Punt/Somalia.

The Egyptians fought Cambyses, but the army of Cambyses was a large army. There was no opportunity to confront the army of Gerar except by deception, as the army of Cambyses was caught in an ambush, where a rumor was spread by the monks in the temples of Siwa to provoke Cambyses to force him to enter the desert and fall into the ambush, as all the water wells were poisoned. Cambyses' army began to perish from thirst, heat, and the cold desert due to thirst, and then the attacks of battalions of the Egyptian army began, battalions attacking day and night and disappearing while Cambyses' army felt thirst and fear in the barren desert until Cambyses' army was completely eliminated. Then he decided to return to his country, and along the way he was attacked. By the Egyptians without mercy or relentlessness until he reached the Levant and was also attacked in the Levant
