There are 7 pyramids at Giza. Why are they saying there are only 3? I spent a month traveling in lower Egypt and visited Giza. I was quizzed and failed by saying there were only 3 pyramids. The guide corrected me and said there are actually 7 pyramids at Giza. The smaller ones are known as Queen's tombs. If you go to Egypt, definitely visit the Tower of Egypt and go to the top. You can see the pyramids at Giza which are 20 miles away and the pyramids at Memphis from the top observatory. Not to mention what a BEAUTIFUL site the city, opera house below, and Nile are.

I'm not really sure if the 2 female mummified fetuses found in Tutankhamun's tomb were actually unborn, they do look quite grown which suggests that they either died very close to the end of the pregnancy or that they were born but this significantly too early, which caused them to die during infancy. (Edit:) Well i did some quick research and it turns out that my assumptions were correct, the first daughter called 317a was born to early between the 5 and 6 month of the pregnancy, meanwhile the second child named 317b was born normally after the 9 month of pregnancy, Both of them sadly still died as very young infants.

Exactly, NOT "fetuses."

[@lel7841]

The 5-6 month baby wouldn't have survived no matter who the parents were back then. That's simply too young without massive modern medical intervention, and even then, it's dicey. Anything before 7 months was all but guaranteed to die as soon as the mother wasn't growing it any more. Even with intervention nowadays the baby would've most likely faced severe health issues. My daughter was born at 8months and was in the NICU for 2 months due to other issues. While there i saw firsthand what happens to those babies born under 7 months. It's heartbreaking and frequently tragic. Those below 6months didn't usually survive at all past a few hours at best. Their families basically used their time in the NICU to say goodbye. I only met 1 family who's baby survived that was at 23 weeks. She was in the NICU for over 11 months and her twin didn't make it past the 3hr mark. She had massive health issues that required constant medical device support (oxygen, IVs, various leg/arm supports because it was super easy for her to fracture her bones, etc). Miraculously, she was mostly good mentally, just delayed. My family and hers spent many hours talking about we were dealing with it all and our hopes and fears. We tried to help comfort the families who weren't as lucky as we were

1:42:50. Economist and Professor Micheal Hudson has been saying for years that the workers building the pyramids weren't slaves, but were actually voluntary corvee' labor. They received decent food and drink in exchange for their labor, and they would go from project to project so they had a reliable and consistent way of life. They were actually some of the luckier ancient people. Some of them got into arrears, but the kings would periodically grant jubilees so that these workers didn't fall into unpayable debt and have to escape to another ruler's domain to have a "clean slate". Records of the payment schedules still exist and it seems like the ancient Egyptians had a more advanced understanding of economics than our rulers do today. P.S. Actually, Hudson mostly cited the works of other Egyptologists and historians, but they are typically very bad at self promotion.

For anyone else wondering, Yes the video does stutter a bit during the first 1/3. It’s not just on your end. This video seems to be made from a digitized version of a physical copy of these documentaries, like a VHS or CD and such glitches in the film are common when wear occurs. The video is made up of 3 documentary Episodes, and only the 1st episode has the stutters. The second documentary starts at 49:33, so it’s not for very long and it’s not constantly stuttering. It’s bearable. Remember that we are privileged just for having these documentaries provided to us free of charge, we have no right to complain about the quality or about any errors since technically nobody has to provide this stuff for us. They upload it purely because they want to share the information, and sometimes they do so at the risk of breaking the law so please appreciate the quality we get and if you want 4K perfect Documentaries with no stutter etc, please pay for it by subscribing to a subscription service rather than complaining in the comments section of the people who are kind enough to share them with you for free.

You could stand in one place and move the whole scene around 360*, pause, zoom, and ask questions about the dead and their beliefs. In the future all people will have DNA genomes in file at birth and you can ask questions about their ancestors and the relationship to yourself. Perhaps a geneticist could investigate the deformities caused by inbreeding of royalty around the world. Perhaps in the future, we will realize how small and complex our world is, and how to restore it to balance for all humanity.

For the documentary to be relieved in 2001, they would have been most likely filming 1999-2000, or possible earlier still given that the DNA testing program featured in the doco was quite a lengthy project. If I had used the phrase "a century ago", then you would have been correct that I would be referring to 100 years ago. In terms of referencing the year of production, "last century" would encompasses any period of time 1900-1999.

Plus since a huge part of egyptian afterlife lore was that the living still need to speak your name and about you in order to have a good afterlife. Since we have found names of ancient people that others tried to obliterate we are not only honoring them in a way they would appreciate but we also symbolically resurrected those whose name had been essentially deleted from the record. I agree that disturbing the tombs is a bit upsetting but those who do it with utmost respect and care are helping keep them alive.

[@a_lucientes]

Many of the _treasures_ found with Tutankhamen actually belonged to his parents: the _heretic King_ Akhenaten and Nefertiti. You can see this in numerous places where the names in the cartouches were changed. Also, in the symbolism seen, for example, on the panel decorating the back of the throne, you see the hands of Aten reaching down. It seems Tutankhamen was assassinated, early on, and everything having to do with his father's change in the religion, which outraged many powerful priests, was gotten rid of in one fell swoop.

[@Old_Goth_Lady]

I saw recently in another doc that Ay was rushed into putting something together for Tut bc he passed so suddenly. And that he had also been a legitimate convert to the Aten and had smuggled all that stuff out of Armana so it wouldn’t be destroyed. Idk how much I much believe this part but someone also said he essentially used Tut’s tomb as a place to make sure this period of time, Akhenaten etc weren’t totally forgotten bc he knew, being Akhenaten’s right hand during his reign, that the establishment as a whole would seek to erase Akhenaten and all he did, from history AND as a way to kind of “stick it” to Tut for rejecting his father’s religion/reign. 🤷‍♀️

Small correction: the baby mummies, children of pharaoh Tutankhamun discussed here were not “unborn“. That doesn’t make any sense. In reality, they were born prematurely.

great video. the 'ancient egyptians' did not have a word for death or words that correspond to the concept of death. They, apparently, were more fixated on immortality. Death, apparently, was simply a transition phase, they believe one does not die, they didn't even have a word for the concept of death. Their culture does not seem to be about death. Their culture appears to be all about life

To the Egyptians, the Universe came out of the primordial waters in the a form that resembled the blue lotus. It is a symbol of creation, thus highly present in reproductive depictions and throughout all of their storytelling. Narcotic and aphrodesia effects were/are minor from blue lotus, but the placebo-effect of consuming the symbol of creation worked particularly well on Egyptians.

Perhaps their lotus' were cultivated to contain more drugs at higher concentration, or they concentrated it after harvest.

I don't agree just because they were fed well and their bones were mended, doesnt means they were not slaves. This is a poor argument. Wouldn't a well fed slave be more productive than a malnourished slave? And say a slave broke an arm, wouldn't it make sense to try to heal the arm and fix the slave for further use? The guy said they would just replace with another slave 2:01:11 . That doesn't make sense either. What, you think they have an infinite amount of slaves just ready to work and be replaced. Even making a baby takes 9 months, then what at least maybe 10 years before you have a child worker slave, and you gotta feed and raise and take care of the child before it can even become useful as a slave. OR we could wait a couple months for an arm to heal.

The Israelites became slaves in Avaris and Tanis 400 years until queen Hatshesut's mother, Ahmoses expulsed hyksos 1550.

With Egyptians being so well acquainted with the progression of decay without mummification and other processes, it would have been obvious to them that the bodies were not coming back to life no matter how many blue lotuses they were buried with. So what were they anticipating as signs of rebirth? It must have been something other than spiritual life or else their idea of a spiritual being had some very human properties.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The idea was that the pharaohs would rule in the afterlife just as they did before, and so they needed all the stuff a ruler needs. There have been entire boats and miniature bakeries found in tombs, because a king would need to sail and eat bread in the afterlife.

That doesn't surprise me so much as they belive some 600 people were or were not slaves. 600 sounds to me more like the number of foremen and infrastructure workers (bakers, cooks, water bearers, healers, laundresses, etc) needed to lead the true builders of the great pyramids. 600 just sounds like too small a number and slaves or no, I would think 1000 to1500 would be needed for the heavy work.

Regarding King Tut's Half-Sister, and their unborn children, is it possible to tell if she had an incompetent cervix? That is different from the type of genetic flaw you were looking for, yet could explain back-to-back fetal deaths, and the end of their line.

[@annaskov5723]

It's a pregnancy complication/cause of miscarriage, not a fixed disorder. You can have it one pregnancy but not the next (though having it once makes it a lot more likely). They actually did test for genetic disorders that increase the risk (Marfans and other connective tissue disorders). Other contributing factors for cervical insufficiency include infections, previous injury, and structural abnormalities. I fell down a rabbit hole here because I realized that I'd never actually heard/read anything that directly addresses what happens to the uterus in mummification. I had to do a bunch of digging to find out that they definitely remove it, but I can't find any references to what they do with it after. The only direct references to the uterus in Egyptian mummification I could find were related to a pregnant mummy with a supposedly preserved womb, but it turns out the researchers misread the CT. Of course, the articles about the initial paper being wrong are harder to find. One of these articles was the only place that specifically mentioned that the uterus would've been removed

[@EarthScienceTV]

Intriguing! The potential genetic clues within these fetuses could offer a breakthrough in our understanding of Tutankhamun's dynasty and its downfall.

[@Ftmyersbeachlizard]

The one thing we know for sure is that these were incestuous relationships which ultimately led to weakening the dynasty which is irony because the whole purpose of incestuous couplings for dynasty preservation was the exact opposite of why they made incest breeding a part of their family practice.

[@EarthScienceTV]

@@Ftmyersbeachlizard Indeed, the irony is palpable. While intended to preserve the purity of their lineage, the practice of incest within Tutankhamun's dynasty likely contributed to its decline through the exacerbation of genetic defects.

I LOVE this sort of documentary and research. It not only helps us understand the past, but can have applications which can then be used in the present day. . You look at contemporary Egyptians and can see their ancestors of the time of the 18th Dynasty- they are an ancient and steadfast people. Also, am I the only person who knows about powdered blue lotus root? It’s quite a strong drug and a technically legal high - if you can get it. You can put it in a gel capsule and swallow it that way, or put the powder in red wine and leave it to steep overnight. A pleasant narcotic high. There is a company in Canada I think that specialises in legal “highs”, they recommend it. Good old ancient Egyptians…

If the unidentified mummy were Akhenaten, they were estimating an age of 35. However, they second guessed the age as being early twenties, possibly 25. Therefore they immediately jumped to it being an older brother of Tutankhamen. Would that not indicate that Akhenaten having fathered that older son at age 10? Does that sound logical?

[@2Sugarbears]

Akenaton bred on his own daughters so maybe those fetuses were caused by the incest and were sisters of Tut who was Akenatons son by another wife.

[@graceneilitz7661]

Fathering a kid at age 10 does not sound logical at all. I did read an article suggesting that Tutankhamen was actually Akhenaten’s (much younger) brother.

[@quilivine]

Agreed, I suspect they glossed over the deterioration because the last thing they wanted was to imply fault on the part of the museum/institutions that housed the infants since their exhumation. I’m not aware of what the relationships between the participating countries were at the time, but I’d imagine the memory of a not-so-distant history of European/Western misconduct and exploitation could have complicated this part of the documentary’s conception/filming, and therefore may have led to the scientists being instructed not to mention deterioration. That’s all just speculation, though. I wish oxygen and temperature were kinder to human remains; the oldest mummies in the world-small children whose names I can’t remember-are MELTING, and Lady Dai apparently looked almost pristine when her coffin was opened and while she’s still supple (apparently her joints were bendable!), she’s a little rough-looking now. I’m particularly upset because they obviously learned that the mummies deteriorated when removed from the environments in their coffins, and obviously knew these infants were in their storeroom, but for one reason or another didn’t bother to place them in a climate-controlled environment, negligence and disregard that’s probably been going on a while, long enough that it feels callous. I hope they at least had a legitimate reason. Sorry for the small rant, I got excited because this is the only comment I’ve seen so far that mentions the infants’ appearances.

Aye took over being Pharaoh after Tut’s death, married Ankesanamen and she then promptly disappeared from history (murdered?). Had Tut’s daughters and eventual sons survived, then the line would have continued and Aye would have never been able to rule. I have always wondered if those two tiny bodies aren’t just those of two babies born too soon, but also murder victims.

The ingestion of ginkgo biloba is suspected to be unfavorable to fetal or embryonic health; could this be a possible factor in the premature births of these babies?

Interesting thought. One would think with all the centuries they were using blue lotus they would have noticed if it had that effect - but then, our more recent ancestors used lead, mercury, and arsenic in cosmetics, so who knows?
