Im an archaeology student and specialise in Egypt, I'm genuinely so impressed by the effort and research you put into this! Well done!

If anyone is curious, the movies I used clips from are The Ten Commandments and Land of the Pharaohs. And a short clip of Gods of Egypt lol

Ever run across a 19th C Scottish painter named David Roberts? He toured Egypt and the Near East and painted the ruins just emerging from Egypt’s sand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enq2gIRrgZuNa8U

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

@@readhistory2023 yes, i love his work. The half submerged in sand aesthetic is my favourite

[@lesterleysath1000]

Wish you had used more clips that show the real people of the region and not the whitewashed Hollywood versions. But awesome build.

[@ph1gm3nt]

Hate to tell you this, that printer is not a SLA printer, it's an FDM printer.

[@abdelhamidgamal514]

As an Egyptian following you from the start of this channel, i am very happy with this project.

[@dindranew.6808]

I CAN read hieroglyphs and Hieratic--I teach Classical languages--and you did an excellent job of drawing them! Every glyph is legible. :D

This is a masterpiece. It is a very inspiring and very beautiful. This video deserves millions of views like and support. Wish to see you making Taj Mahal, Chichen Itza, Angkor Wat, Forbidden City in Beijing China etc

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks Saad! Very kind! More historical projects are coming

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

This is one of your best builds and EASILY your best video. Fantastic job man, hope you are really proud of this one. Stone looks so good.

You write better than the ancient Egyptians!😲👏👏👏

Absolutely love the history lesson

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I'm glad! Stuff like that is so interesting to me

[@ched---]

all the talk of ancient Egypt on your streams has gotten me excited for this one

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Same haha

[@Master_Blackthorne]

As a student of Egyptology, I can safely say you should be on the museum staff!

[@firemandkdkdk]

Yes, that is really awesome..... makes me want to do a On30 porter train layout through the desert ! maybe someday in the Philippines whan I have the time and nothing to do and take all of my unused on30 trains there from California !

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

Finally someone doing something ancient Egyptian....I was drawn to it as a child and so grateful to visit it

[@LucJenson]

Man, I was watching this while focusing on some grading and I was answering points before you'd say them. Such as, when you were mentioning the cartouche, I said "It's called a cartouche." when you were describing its shapes. Gotta say; you did your research well. I'm a history teacher and if I had it within my schedule this semester I'd love to do a project like this with my students and use your video as an inspiration to get started. This is fantastic! I rewatched it after I finished it to pay closer attention to your hard efforts. Well done, as always!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

This comment makes me smile! I’m glad i got some things right :)

[@LucJenson]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop You sure did! I'd love to see you take a jab at other ancient themes. Your hieroglyphics were really clean, too. Usually, hieroglyphics are read right to left, top to bottom - however, the language can be written both directions. The figures face the direction in which it is written, which yours did! Awesome stuff, man!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

@@LucJenson yeah i had no interest in trying to write right to left (worried i would smudge, etc) but i kept my birds facing left !

[@uriance88]

You might also want to look at Black Magic Craft - Jeremy did an Egyptian themed build (not as historically accurate, but a bit quicker and more modular. Might fit better into a school schedule, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOck3yqidynlc0

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

[@sempernovatusgames6798]

Just WOW. The job you did with the stone, making it look rough... it is madness! And thank you for the little history lesson you introduced in the video. You did a really enjoyable video to watch!

[@CowlTek]

Those rocks look incredible

[@sprucehouse9]

My favorite period of time! You nailed the look of an ancient Egyptian monument! The effect you got on the rocks is awesome.

[@mr.e1944]

Great build. I like that you translated real text int hieroglyphics instead of just a bunch of made up characters.

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

DUDE! You absolutely NAILED the sandstone cliff faces!

[@BeyondtheRecord]

the production value on this channel has SKYROCKETED lately

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Thanks for noticing! I want to make things as good as I can for you guys!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

That sandstone texture is fantastic, the heat gun is a stroke of genius man!

[@NOLNV1]

the eroded-heat-gun-foam-sediment-sandstone work is something else! really nice!

[@stevebunda3055]

Really inspired stone work. I, too, love the Egyptian history. This is awesome.

[@BrewPub]

The method to create the sandstone texture is brilliant, because it is soo simple yet effective.

[@xilicks]

Your attention to detail on how the tombs would be constructed was appreciated! The rock textures came out very well one of the best builds I've seen in this theme.

[@hyperbene7711]

Whoa... this is one of my all-time favorite videos. Lessons in hieroglyphics and then your cheeky translator app - you're too interesting! Your videos are addictive.

[@Drewsiefer]

Your absolute dedication to the sand meme is inspirational.

[@richardlionheart3935]

It looks really good. I especially liked the hieroglyphs, that really added a nice touch.

[@jack0cat]

This was like watching a magician for the first time. My jaw dropped with your rock strata technique.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Good job mate, loved the history lessons. you are the sandstone king btw.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

My next iteration of crafting sandstone will involve hundreds of tons of sediment and millions of years of pressure

[@jokebosveld2468]

wow, that sandstone facede... so impressive.

[@annbrookens945]

Love your Egyptian tomb! I've been fascinated by Egypt most of my life, so this build is right up my alley!

[@MrEisenhaupt]

I was looking for a method to create the Egyptian walls from the fifth element movie where the Mondoshiwan get the gun. I had thought of 3D printing or or or ... but your idea is soooo simple and good at the same time! Thanks very much!

[@LONO47]

Love to see a history build. This might be my favorite build on KZbin in a long time. Thanks for this Erik.

[@astrozombiac3535]

I've noticed you like to do research into the cultures you're creating scenery for. So I always learn something new. Those canyons would make for a great western themed canyon or something. Excellent work as always.

Dear Eric - OUTSTANDING!

Your brick method is AMAZING !!!! time saver !!!!

Amazing work on the sandstone. I love that technique, never seen it used anywhere else. I'll have to use it myself.

[@WHITEOGR]

2 fun facts about this video : 1 - Abu Simbel was taken apart and moved in '60 2 - scenes used in this video are from movie Faraon which was also done in '60 and was one of biggest polish costume movies ;D Magnificent job as allways Eric

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I haven’t seen that film, but i will have to check it out! Clips in this one are from Land of the Pharaohs (1955) and The Ten Commandments (1956)

[@Ahmed-Ali8637]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop i don't recommend this movies to you.., it got nothing to do with Egypt , it haven't been made in Egypt even ... every thing about it is fake , so far your work is more Egyptian than those movies ..... you did a great job

[@randdmoore1]

My favorite one yet. I love history so the back story really added to the enjoyment. Thanks

[@bismiksm]

You 're so good at this game... This project (as many others of yours) breathes with passion. I find the final result stunning and can't wait to see what you will do whith the inside of the tomb! Cheers Eric!

[@alexdeville1248]

Dude that rock face foam cutting tekkers is awesome. Thanks for that.

[@makkon06]

I frequently referenced the hot wire cut XPS foam around 4:25 while designing and sculpting the Methedori rocks and cliffs for Moonbreaker. you can see them in context on Methedori Cliffs and Landing Pad. really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos showcasing your workflow!

[@tataritrades6992]

You really took my brain out for this one man

[@3DPrintingRockets]

5:03 that part was genius, I was genuinely impressed

[@szegediadam8793]

I know it's getting a bit close to "invading your private space" category, but I would love a video, where you show how you store, and organize your collection of builds. They all look fantastic, and awesome, but many times huuuuuuge too! :)

[@MrFredstt]

Wicked cool project! Translating your own messages into hieroglyphics was like a nice cherry on top

[@danb2529]

I've done a similar build on a smaller scale. Printed out the statues from 'Scan The World' on my Elegoo mars, and used the foam the printer came packed in to make the surrounding stonework. It felt a fitting use for material that might otherwise go in the bin !

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

What an amazing video! Loved the final look, very clever indeed :)

[@GrenadeMessiah]

holy moly you saved me a lot of time in the futre. i am curenty working on some sediment stone terain for my 40k table. i also started by cuting horizontal lines in the foam, but then like a foll i chip away small bits of foam with a screwdriver and it has taken my so many hours up to this point of time that i paused the projeck allready several times. From now on i will use your method. thanks eric

[@nparsona]

It looks amazing. The best part came as I was imagining different ways for how you would print the hieroglyphics and combine them with the piece - then you hand drew them. Damn. Lots of good advice in this video too.

[@ScaleModelMuse]

Awesome...Egypt is one of my fave subjects of study

[@josray2557]

WoW. even the hieroglyphs looked so good it's like you've written that way your whole life.. This one is master level crafting. You, Knarb, Gert and John are the new high council of crafters haha

[@thomasgross8289]

I recently started building table top terrain, about 6 months ago and man your skills blows me away! I've learned a LOT from watching your videos, like cutting individual bricks and gluing them onto my building's for example. Thanks for all your work and I look forward to seeing more. I also thought to add some runes to one of my builds and looked up ancient druid runes but I hand painted them on, not nearly to the extent that you did hear lol but it definitely added a bit to the build. I'm definitely going to give that pen a try. Thanks again!
