Wow, such beautiful shots of Unas' pyramid and the Pyramid Texts. I've been watching your programs now for the past two years and am amazed at how each one keeps getting better to the point that I can't tell whether I'm watching a National Geographic documentary or an ASG video. You really do an incredible job filming and narrating these videos...thanks for all of your hard work!

It’s always delights me to watch your Egyptian ancient sites videos.. I noticed one small error in your narrative (11.14) where you mentioned that the pyramid renovation still can be noticed after 8000 years!! That’s not possible.. Khufu pyramid itself is some 4600 years old.. 😅

Your calm, informative and structured narration adds significant depth to your videos😊

[@tothiusbentheum2071]

Inside the pyramid you see the walls have a plaster coating the writing on the plaster because the walls are granite and they couldn't work with granite at that time! Just look at the decay outside, this is over 10,000 years or more! everywhere on this Earth tells us that this decay takes that long and I can prove it or you can check easily yourself! This one is easy!! Thank you for showing this!

[@ancientsitesgirl]

The Pyramid texts were written on limestone blocks, there is little granite in the pyramids of Unas and Teti

[@tothiusbentheum2071]

@@ancientsitesgirl See, there you go figuring it out.They plastered the wall because stone in general will take too long and if you haven't noticed, the had lots of text to write! Whats really funny is, the oldest have not on bit of text in them, because the few that were used for that was much later not understanding what these things they found were! The oldest ones have their tech for us to understand! Most are not finished because they ran out of time! I will happen again and again and again! Only Dino's lived a great time with no wabble or Moon!

Great video. Nice to see Unas’ pyramid is open again. It was closed when I went at the end of 2022 and I had to make do with Teti’s.

[@ancientsitesgirl]

Thanks! I didn't know it was closed. Now it's open only until 12AM.

[@ThrashLawPatentsAndTMs]

First, great video! Second, I've seen the "shadow relief" you mention at @7:00. In my opinion, because to my eye the "cuts" were into relief at a consistent depth, the size of the relief was "just right" and centered in the burial chamber, and alabaster is just too soft for a previously created relief of alabaster to have been used, the relief and texts are a single expression and constitute one of the most breathtaking works of the ancient world. Although the reference to Kufu is contra-evidence, IMO he was paying homage to the great king who restored the Sphinx, several of the temples, and (obviously) had the first great pyramid. If you're aware of other writing or positioning on the relief that refers to Kufu, and could share it, that would be appreciated.

I really like that this video shows the pyramids of Unis and Teti with clarity that doesn’t compare to any other video of those pyramids. I really wish you could have shown the hidden figures on both sides because I’ve looked all over online and I haven’t been able to find good really clear pictures or videos of it. I wonder if there are times that you can visit the pyramid of Unis without or with very view tourists.

So wonderful. Your such a delight! ...found it interesting that Unas used blue paint, I know it was the most expensive to use. But in candlelight blue appears black does it not?

[@colinleat8309]

I agree with the previous commenter, your videos are as good, actually better than NatGeo. I can't help but laugh every time I here the name of Unas. I emedietly think Stargate SG1. 🤣. It looks like the interior of Unas's tomb was scorched by fire. I'm sure it wasn't, but part's of it look like it. The exterior of the Stepped pyramid looks like a giant pile of rubble. Thanks as always Irena! May the Force be with you... Always! 🖖😎🤘🇨🇦❤️

Another important note, the box inside is actually two boxes, one inside another and they fit perfectlly and the inner is less then 1 inch thick. I'm not sure we can do this today, but don't believe it was possible then! Just the box itself is amazing!
