I am so thankful for the internet! I have a disability that makes it impossible for me to see these sites in person no matter how much I would love to be there. It’s a blessing to be able to accompany you on your journey through the past and the present. Your films are always well researched and beautifully presented. This type of presentation expands my world and I thank you. ❤

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

I am so touched that somehow I could take you to Abu simbel, even be it virtually 😇

[@jaqathome]

@@CurtisRyanWoodside Curtis, you have taken me to many, many places and I’ve enjoyed them all. I await your next adventure!

[@christinemanigian209]

I feel the same. Watching all of Curtis' films make it seem I was actually there. Thank you ❤

[@terristarnes7742]

So Captivating Simply Beautiful, And Curtis Your Voice Is Simply Mesmerizing.💙🌎💙

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

oh wow! Thank you so much 🤗

[@glynesgarzillo1268]

I love your comments Curtis. I love the history of ancient egypt and especially toward cats and their divinity. They were cat people my people. I was given a special gift from the gods when I was there. It was a sacred gift from the gods. It was an anch I found in the sand I hope I spelled it right.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

❤️ wow that’s very special indeed

[@kathyevans2968]

This was so interesting.. the well known names came to life. The sounds of the birds chirping made me feel like I was there with you having a personal tour. Thank you.

[@yjk5737]

I stayed overnight in Abu Simbel one time and was there in the morning before the buses from up north arrived. We were all alone with the entire temple. It was awesome.

[@cahuillatube]

Power couple Ramses and Nefertari.

Thank you very much for creating this Curtis! You are so passionate about describing the battle of Kadesh. He was indeed a great warrior. I agree, it wasn’t a draw with the Hittites!!

[@mariannenygaard1861]

Thank you for the video and interesting story 😊

[@dewitudur.dyddiauyndonnini741]

Looking forward to watching this tonight.

[@pamkullman8839]

My 8 year old is in love with all things Egyptian. I found her a few Egyptian themed shirts but not as cool as yours. She likes watching you videos with me! She got the teacher for her “gifted” class at school, and she will get to study the Egyptians for a little while and they get to be wrapped up mummy style. She is thrilled. Thank you for making these videos❤

[@fredleescott2874]

Hi Curits, I never know what to say but I do learn from your videos. Thanks for such interesting information! I like the cat video from this week too!

[@gretakacinskyte4101]

Thank you again for your job! Your look simply majestic and your voice sounds so pleasant! Keep on going!❤

[@PRH123]

So very interesting, thanks so much, great work..! Literally my whole life, since elementary school where we watched documentaries on the moving of Abu Simbel, and countless national geographic and discovery channel features since then, i did not know it has an interior...! They show the outside, a shot of a short dark interior corridor, and that's it... You not only show us everything but you explain in detail what it all depicts, symbolizes and means.. fascinating, beautiful... really good work...!!

[@MrSomethingElse]

yes!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

😇

[@MrSomethingElse]

Love your work cuz, I am headed that way, Giza was my target but I think I'll try and get a glimpse of Abu Simbel too, I'm taking my Grand daughter, all the way from New Zeal and to the sands. If you have any advice for arranging private access, fire away. Currently I am throwing myself to the mercy of the Egyptian consulate in NZ and begging. Keep on mate, you are doing great! @@CurtisRyanWoodside

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Oh wow how long are you going for. You can send me a message on instagram or fb and we can chat

[@MrSomethingElse]

It will only be a week or two but I will, if it is ok, hook you up for some advice when we have dates, I really want to go during one of the solstices, feel me? I dunno how I got the bug but I have to go see it for myself. Egypt sounds dangerous so I'll take my grandkid to protect me, I'll hit you up in a year, let you know how plans are going, you take care you glorious bastid and keep on, you are appreciated.@@CurtisRyanWoodside

[@heatherprice588]

Thank you Curtis this brought back a lot of memories when I visited in 2009, I've loved anything ancient Egyptian since I was a child of 9 or 10 now in my eighties still gives me a thrill, thank you so much.😊

[@MohamedAtef88]

@0:01 just like the 60's UNESCO fonts

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Im glad you noticed! I sent a long time replicating the 60s film look for this documentary. Its more difficult than you think, because presets look fake, so this took me lots of studying reference videos from the 60s.

[@MohamedAtef88]

thanks for the historical information bro💜@@CurtisRyanWoodside

[@catherineevanoffour1230]

So great ! Thank you so much. I will be rewatching this one many times.

Wonderful thank you. I have visited the Abu Simbel temples several times but it has always been busy. Inside it was virtually impossible to stand and gaze and and absorb the magnificence.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Curtis I found that very interesting and I enjoyed your trip and the history thank you for sharing 💕🤗

Glad you enjoyed it

I had the pleasure of going into the temple on my own inside there was only two Americans we had it all to ourselves it is extremely beautiful ❤

[@DaliaHazem]

A wonderful documentary. 😊 Thanks a lot for it. Keep up the good work.

[@RichardParker-hc6dn]

Hi Curtis, This was a wonderful video, thank you. I was in this temple many years ago but seeing it again makes me want to come back and see it all over again. Thank you!

[@susanfraase3750]

Great work. Have you ever been there when it's 🌑 dark. Spooky 😅

[@juliefaulkner5497]

Soundss like one big bird aviary now lol

Getting ready to go back for another month next November with a small group - I have been showing them your documentaries to get them excited! Cant wait to share this with them - and to see this beautiful temple complex again in person Thank you for sharing - Shonna Vivid Origins Travel Agency

[@drskelebone]

3300 year old temple: Birds, basically the same for at least 3300 years: "CHIRP!" "CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!" Horus: "Yeah! Sing that song!!" Ramesses II, 3300 years ago: "This is pretty much exactly what I was wanting. Like the sunlight timing, good job with that one. However, you know, there's just one more thing." Fred, Abu Simbal Foreman: "We're working with some experts on the birds, your majesty." Ramesses: "There we go. That's how I knew you were the one to give this project to. You know what I'm thinking before I'm thinking it!"

[@drskelebone]

Please tell me that is ancient Greek graffiti @18:34 . Graffiti is always bad, but if it is that old (Ptolemaic period?), it's kind of funny. Some jerk, 2500 years ago was like, "Hold my beer, I'm going to carve my name up there."

[@dougg1075]

To think these monuments sat around for thousands of years with nobody knowing what they were about.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

It’s mind boggling

[@sandratestolinilembo3915]

I’m not surprised why is it , that this Egyptians civilization has never been criticized nor condemned for slavery as many other civilization periods have been . Instead it’s glorified in its conquering .when it’s written all over their arts of communicating and glorifying what they have done , positioning themselves as gods .

[@claudiamanta1943]

Curtis, the script, the images, the presentation and your style deserve only one epithet- 𓄤 Congratulations and many thanks 😊

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Nefer! Thank you Claudia

[@vivienneturner2028]

Great presentation. Have you ever read Zachariah Sitchins cuneiform translations of the Stila, The lost book of Enki (14 tablets). Entire was also known as Pitah.😊

[@onelife-celebrateit]

I am not sure i understood the canopy you mentioned in the depiction can you pls help me understand that which was told means death

[@roylcraft]

Can you give us some more details on this site. Any signs this was all plastered over for a smooth appearance on the inside as well as the outside? Any signs of paint on the outside? On the inner sanctum, do we know if the statues were covered in gold? Imagine the sun shinning on those golden statues, it must have been magical for the onlookers.

Ramses_1 "the Beloved" is the forefather of todays Egypt. He brought in his entire tribe from Edom( modern Arabs). Before Ramses, the Akkadian line ruled ending with Tut. Both dynastys were called "Heka-Sut" (Hyksos) = foreign kings

[@I_am_ka]

@@user-vw3og6mf2k Copts are still Arab. Roman influence doesnt change the fact

[@onelife-celebrateit]

Was Abu Simbel built after Nefertari 's death ?

[@Bardmusic66]

200 sons?! Probably a lot of people with his DNA

[@johnnyboyvan]

Ramses didn't win against the Hitites as a papyrus reveals a peace treaty. Fascinating.😮 Early propaganda.
