Abu Simbel is one of my favourite places in this world and in my opinion much more one of the 7 wonders of the world than the pyramids

[@ebbyartworks2892]

I miss Egypt, been twice and loved it both times, I hope to go Egypt again one day.❤

[@Jbravo094]

I can tell how much you love and enjoy Egypt. Your passion can be tell just by listening to you talking about the history of this beautiful and impressive place. Thanks for sharing. Thanks a lot ♡

[@minaagaby200]

jacqueline amazing

[@Travellight21]

Thank you so much, Jacqueline!

[@pastrychef6621]

thanks for sharing those beautiful videos ..egypt is great .... try and visit petra (in jordan ) if you can while you are at that part of the world ..its amazing ... watch this vlog kzbin.info/www/bejne/op_QhaGNntaVjtE

[@Amy-velvetlai]

I like the way you took videos and told the history of Egypt. I love your videos.

[@CODColdwar1]

I'm Egyptian, and this is the first time for me to hear the story of Abu Simbel.. I thank you for that and I hope you enjoy your stay :)

[@abchappell01]

I visited Abu Simbel many years ago and truly enjoyed the experience. Your amazing documentary here brought back all of the feelings of awe and excitement I had when I walked around the same corner and saw those magnificent, towering monuments. I get quite a “rush” just thinking about that experience now. I thank you for filming your journey there, and giving a wonderful summation of its presence and purpose.

[@andia4212]

Wow, this video is so impressive! I love the editing of the temple shots and the story after. What a beautiful love story behind the temples! Never heard of this before, thank you as always

[@l.nina225]

I’m leaving for Abu Simbel tonight and I’m super excited. I’ve been an Ancient Egyptian culture and mythology fan since I was 4. And the time finally came! Thank you for the video btw, very educational!

[@Travellight21]

That's awesome, I hope you had an amazing time! :D

[@evepaludan7713]

What a breathtaking video. Loved all of it, but your editing, the history explained, the scenery and the song, wow, just such an experience to watch your filmmaking really blossom into this level of passion with professionalism. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the history lesson, too!

[@Travellight21]

Thank you so much, Eve! Glad that you enjoyed!

[@sirgalahad1470]

Outstanding short film ! Loved it !

[@benec5816]

Oh thank you for granting one of my dreams and your film work was fantastic the place looks awesome and hardly anyone there. Looking forward to your next posting Gee the way you are going looks like you will be ticking off my bucket list for me thanks heaps again see ya and safe

[@andia4212]

This is such a wholesome comment

[@RespectOthers1]

Definitely the correct way to see awesome historical places like this...on site and in it's entirety...and not bits and pieces in a flashy museum in the middle of a busy city.

[@blainejudd5693]

I can’t wait to visit Egypt hopefully next year or the following year! I’ve been obsessed with Egyptian mythology since I was a child and your videos helped me realize it’s time to visit! Also, you should get a pair of sunglasses!

[@midoaborose]

The blue ocean wave in your eyes, calls me to the depths 😍

[@InBetweenMaps]

Super cool find! Loved tagging along in your travels! Keep the cam vlogging and new episodes coming. Super glad to discover your channel. Will binge a bit on your other episodes, lol. Following you now!

[@akarmoussaittizi3012]

Wow !That was so instructive. .I have been following you for like 14 months but it's the first time that I really experience the power of your intellect .

OMG ..so proud of my country 😍 Thanks for showing our history to the world 😙💕

[@gen.jews7daytheory296]

You aren't Egyptian. Your people had no hand in that...you are an ottoman Turk...the conquerors that evicted the true people that created these places.

[@nadiaaamin7112]

Dee walk, Coptic are the real descendants of ancient Egyptians . Most of us still live in Egypt. We are about 20% of the population

[@nadiaaamin7112]

Our Coptic language ( still use it in our churchs) is the last evolution stage of the old Egyptian language plus 6 letters were added from the Greek language

[@ziadtalaat9503]

[@rezothevampire]

Welcome to my country. You are more Egyptian than me. I have not seen such places. I lived in NYC and Australia but was not lucky enough to see all my country.

[@signal1247]

Both your filming and storytelling is amazing.

[@sharkawyou]

[@numanchoi]

Wow! They are epic!

[@AlexOhioo]

Amazing so magical

[@honeymartin9120]

Great jordon always

[@DigitalTAC0]

Looooove this one!! Ramses huh?? Great guy! ;)

[@signal1247]

You obviously have a deep knowledge of Egyptology, as this story has in-depth insight and perspective.You told the story of Abu Simbel very uniquely. Most accounts do not acknowledge Ramses' love for Nefertari, and only mention her in passing as being beautiful. I had never heard about her intelligence, but some quick research led me to see tha tyou are astute. Brava.

[@mahmoudmito418]

I am so happy cuz you are having good time here in Egypt and wanna welcome you from deep in my heart ❤ I dont know if u have visited Alexandria or not but if you are planning to, i can help you get some amazing time here ❤

[@flyhi2773]

Nicely filmed and edited.

[@MrNinobonito22]

You are a special human being for sure !!!

[@TheJoyQueenForever]

That song at the Temple was magical...

[@debbieorangeyouasweet1302]

So well done and your cuts are going along with the music. Glad your back on KZbin as you know you were very missed and many of us concerned about your well-being. I don’t personally know you but as a mom I feel the need to worry if I don’t hear from you on social media sites and begin to worry.Again beautiful film and interesting narrative (love that part) always be vigilant and thrive. I hope to see a coffee table book of your work one day. How do you say in ARABIC,” peace be with you.” 💝💝💝

[@reactionapproved5050]

I'm definitely going to visit this place :O

You are so beautiful. I love you so much. You are so kind hearted and sweet and by far one of the best KZbinrs ever

[@madoface]

Amazing .... 😊

[@riverflowst60]

I visited Abu Simbel at sunrise on February 22. This is one of two special dates. This temple was built so that on 2 dates of the year ( 1: his birthday Feb 22, and 2: his coronation August 23) these are the solstices and so at sunrise for approximately 9 minutes( ?) the chambers are filled with light , filtering to the deepest chamber where the 3 gods are illuninated and 1 remains in darkness. Truly an astronomy & architectural feat!!!! An amazing wonder. Thousands of people travel thru the desert for 3-4 hours in the middle of the night to arrive to Abu Simbel in time for this sunrise and true natural illumination. It was amazing!!!!! Unesco moved the temple as you say- as lake Nassar was flooded by the building of the dam- it was moved 60? Or 90 km ( i cant remember which)

[@amrsalaheldinabdallahhammo663]

Great job 👍🏻

[@remonsabry]

BEAUTY !

[@dinosaurguy990]

Welcome to my home country Egypt 🇪🇬!! I am traveling there in 15 th Jan 2018

[@mostafa_hafiz]

i am not sure but ,Ramesses II didnt build it because of his victory in the south ,he built it after the battle of kadesh WHICH HAPPENED AT the east of the egyptian empire ,near where syria and turkey is located now , plus writing and reading weren't widely known those days, because there were three known types of languages ,and each language was known by a certain class of people ,anyway thanks for your great video.

[@jimmac2419]

Really nice

[@passingstranger1843]

huge fan from kuwait ! thank you for the informative video but my advice to you try visting abdin palace i think you will like it !
